Chapter 898

Chapter 898 Anya frowned innocently. “I know that I was wrong when I didn’t treat Corinne well in the

past, but I don’t think you should treat her that well. Corinne is Jeremy’s wife, so she’s considered a

member of the Holdens, too. The Riveras haven’t been on good terms with the Holdens for quite some

time. If you treat her too nicely, others might think that we’re weak…” Lucas frowned. “Corinne and the

Holdens are two separate entities! Why do you think we shouldn’t treat her well? It should be you, of all

people, who are supposed to be more polite to her!” Anya was a little afraid when she heard Lucas’

tone. She said hurriedly, “I treat her with the utmost respect, Lucas! I even offered to give her a ride

today! You’ve never been mean to her, so I just think you shouldn’t lower yourself for her. I feel

heartbroken when I see you like that…” Lucas glared coldly at her. “You don’t need to feel that way for

me.” He then turned around and went back into the office. Since Edmund was not around to stop Anya

from following him, she bit her lip begrudgingly and followed Lucas in with her lunch box. Outside the

building, Corinne closed her eyes when someone knocked on the glass window and woke her up.

“Miss Corinne!” Edmund called softly. Corinne woke up from her nap. She lowered the car window and

said lazily, “Oh, it’s you, Edmund. What’s up?” Enter title… 10/7/23, 12:47 AM Read The Day I Kissed

man-by-cher-the-cherished/r1008011.html 2/3 Edmund quite liked it when Corinne spoke to him in a

less-formal tone. He was never very friendly with her because of Lucas, yet she never held it against

him and treated him politely nonetheless. “As you’re already here, Mister Lucas invited you to come up

and have a meal.” Corinne waved her hand to reject the offer. “I appreciate the gesture, but I’ll be fine

on my own.” Edmund was not surprised. He already expected her to reject the offer, and there was

nothing he could do about it. Corinne had never been treated well during her time at the company, so it

should not be surprising she would not be keen on going upstairs. Edmund thought for a moment and

asked once more, “It just so happens to be lunch hour. If I recall, you quite enjoy our cafeteria’s food.

Just think of it as a restaurant and have lunch there. At least you would’ve gotten something out of

coming here.” Corinne did enjoy the food served there, and she particularly enjoyed one of the pork

dishes there. Although it had been a while since she worked there, she remembered how delicious that

particular dish was. Edmund had been instructed by Lucas to watch her every move, so it was not

surprising he would know what kind of food she ate at the cafeteria. Corinne glanced at him. She had

been swayed by the possibility of having lunch there. “Isn’t it exclusively for the company’s

employees?” Edmund nodded respectfully. “It won’t be an issue if it was you.” Corinne asked again.

“Should I pay for the meal, then?” “Not at all!” Edmund replied. “Mister Lucas will never allow it! Just eat

whatever you like to your heart’s content!” Corinne’s expression soured, and she immediately lost

interest. “Forget about it, then. I’m not the kind of person who likes

freeloading.” Edmund frowned. “Okay, okay! You can pay for your lunch then!” Corinne got out of the

car. She decided to head upstairs for lunch before going back home. There was nothing for her to do at

home, anyway.

Before she walked into the building, Corinne saw a queue at the ice cream kiosk of a fast-food

restaurant just opposite. She craved some ice cream, so she said to Edmund, “You can go on ahead.

I’ll catch up. I’m going to get an ice cream before heading up.”
