Chapter 900

Chapter 900 Corinne kept quiet and did not even look at the woman. Instead, she raised her hand and

used her pinky to dig into her ear as if she had heard some noise. Corinne’s calmness irked the

woman. She grabbed Corinne angrily. “Hey! I’m talking to you! Are you deaf? Why aren’t you

answering me? Have you no manners, you b*tch?!’ The elevator doors opened with a ding. Lucas was

about to enter the elevator. His expression darkened when he saw what was happening inside. Time

seemed to pass very slowly after he knew Corinne was just outside the building. He was a little anxious

in waiting for Edmund to come up with her, and he was also worried that Edmund would not be able to

persuade her to come up. Fearing that Corinne might leave, he decided to head downstairs and fetch

her. However, he was surprised when he saw the scene in the elevator. “What are you doing?” Lucas

asked sternly. The female employee was taken aback when she turned and saw her boss just outside

the elevator. She felt a little awkward, so she quickly tried to explain herself, “Mister Lucas, do you

remember her? You fired her some time ago, and she’s back today for some unknown reason! I asked

her what business she was here for, but she just kept quiet! She’s so suspicious! I have a hunch that

she’s here to steal our business secrets, so I just-” “Let her go,” Lucas interjected.

The employee was startled by his frigid expression. She released Corinne right away. Lucas strode into

the elevator and gently grabbed Corinne’s hand to check if she was okay. His expression soured as

soon as he noticed that her wrists were red. He turned around and asked coldly, “Which department

are you in?” The female employee could not understand what was happening, and she was a little

overwhelmed by everything. At the same time, she also felt somewhat disappointed that she had not

left an impression on him.” Umm… Mister Lucas, I used to be your secretary, but I was transferred to

the marketing department. Don’t you remember me?” “Pack your bags and get lost. You’re fired,” Lucas

informed without a second thought. The female employee was stunned, and her eyes widened in

shock. “Mister Lucas? I…”

“Get out!” Lucas lost his patience and did not want to listen to the woman’s nonsense. He then turned

to look at Corinne and said in a soft tone, “Why did it take you so long to come up? Have you had lunch

yet?” Corinne shook off Lucas’ hand in disgust and said indifferently, “Not yet. I’m here for lunch.”

Lucas did not get angry at her after being rejected. He smiled gently and said, “Right. You couldn’t

have come up here to see me. Anyway, let’s go. I’ll bring you to lunch.” Corinne frowned. She did not

want to go to the cafeteria with Lucas. However, she knew she could not get rid of him as she was on

his turf. She thus decided to go along with him and avoid any unnecessary trouble. The female

employee stood frozen in confoundment. ‘Did he just fire me? Why? Just because I grabbed Corinne’s

hand? Didn’t he use to hate Corinne a lot before and even go so far as to fire her? What in the world is

going on? Mister Lucas even spoke in such a gentle tone to Corinne as if he was afraid of making her

unhappy!’ Amid her confusion, a gloomy-faced Anya walked up to her slowly. Anya narrowed her eyes

as she looked in the direction Lucas and Corinne headed. Doubt and resentment began to fill her hea
