Chapter 448


    Edmund hung up the phone.


    “Miss Carew, please follow me. Mister Lucas would like to see you.”


    Corinne was not surprised. She got up and followed Edmund to Lucas’ office. His office was just like


    his elegant but cold.


    “Mister Lucas, I’ve brought Miss Carew here to see you,” said Edmund with a bow.


    There were a few unique handicrafts on the desk and behind the desk was arge office chair with its


    back facing them. However, Lucas did not turn around even after Edmund greeted him.


    After bringing Corinne here and greeting Lucas, he then turned around and walked out of the room


    without being prompted.


    ‘I guess his job is to only bring me here,’ thought Corinne. She waited patiently for Lucas to turn around


    but when he did not, she politely said, “Mister Lucas, my name is Corine Carew and I wish to work as


    your executive secretary.”


    After a few seconds, Lucas finally slowly turned around. He was holding a cup of steaming hot coffee in


    his hand. His elegance gave him both a dignified and indifferent air.


    He smiled at Corinne but the smile did not reach his eyes. “Hello, Miss Carew. It’s been a while. What


    tricks are you trying to pull this time? Tell me, why would you suddenly apply to be my executive


    secretary?”


    “Because I need money and the sry being offered for this position is quite generous so I thought why


    not?”


    Lucas smiled and took a sip of his coffee. He looked at her mockingly and said, “If I remember


    correctly, you’re not the type to grovel for money. Previously, you were determined to give me back the


    cheque I wrote for you and that cemented my impression of you having no interest in money. You’re


    probably regretting your decision now huh?”


    Corinne looked at Lucas calmly. She did not seem to be fazed by Lucas’ attempt at breaking her down.


    “I never said I have no interest in money. On the contrary, I love money very much. It’s just that I don’t


    like it when other people throw money at me so that they could feel better about themselves. Mister


    Lucas, why don’t we let bygones be bygones? I didn’te here to beg. Instead, I came here today to


    apply for a job in the hope of using my skill to earn some money. And that’s not groveling.”


    Lucas narrowed his eyes to size her up. He then smiled and said, “You wish to work here? Miss Carew,


    might you be overestimating yourself just a little too much?”


    “No, I’m not. Why don’t you hire me and see for yourself?” Corinne said resolutely.

    Lucas pulled back his gaze from her and took a sip of coffee. “No, thanks. Ourpany doesn’t


    need a wild card like you working for us. I highly suggest you go work somewhere else, Miss


    Carew.”


    Corinne frowned at him. The thought of sharing the same mother with the arrogant and mean man in


    front of her made her shudder uncontrobly. She would not be sitting here talking to him if it were not


    for the sake of getting more information about her mother. She swore to herself that she would not be


    walking out of thepany without getting a job.
