Chapter 452


    Anya looked at Corinne with pure hatred in her eyes. ‘What the h*ll is Corinne doing in Lucas’ office?


    What is she trying to pull this time?”


    Corinne did not back down from her


    gaze.


    At the same time, they could hear the sound of steady footsteps getting closer to them.


    Anya knew Jeremy was walking over to see what was going on and she did not want him to see


    Corinne.


    After thinking it over, she smiled cunningly and said loudly for everyone in the room to hear, Oh Lucas,


    why didn’t you tell me that you’ve gotten yourself a cat for the office? It was choking on some dried fish.


    Good thing it spat the dried fish out now. If not, it would have gone to cat heaven. You gotta be more


    careful next time. You shouldn’t feed a kitten this small snack like that.”


    Lucas narrowed his eyes. He immediately understood what she was trying to do so he said


    nonchntly, “You’re right. This is my first time having a pet so I’m still not quite sure how to take care


    of it. I’ll make sure to be more careful next time.”


    Anya was d Lucas caught her meaning. She shot Corinne a warning look before turning around and


    walking over to Jeremy to stop him from going to the bookshelf.


    “Jeremy, the kitten is still small and seems to be very afraid of people so it’s best not to go over there


    and frighten it,” she said kindly.


    Jeremy looked down at her then at the bookshelf with doubt in his eyes. Corinne could sense him


    looking over there so she took a deep breath to force down the wave of nausea that was bubbling up


    again.


    She was worried that Jeremy would insist on taking a look behind the bookshelf so she opened her


    mouth to meow softly to make Anya’s story seem more believable.


    “Meow! Meow…”


    “I’m starving. Lucas, Jeremy, and I will head on over to the restaurant first. Remember to meet us there


    when you’re done with your work,” said Anya. She then pulled Jeremy’s sleeves. “Jeremy, let’s go.”


    The light in Jeremy’s faded when he heard the meowing sound. He looked away from the bookshelf


    and walked out with Anya, leaving Lucas alone in his office.


    Lucas walked slowly to his chair and sat downzily. “You cane out now, pussy cat,” he said


    absent-mindedly.


    Corinne came out from behind the bookshelf; she returned to her previous calm.


    Lucas cocked his head at her and asked, “Why did you hide yourself just now?”


    “I was trying to avoid seeing a certain someone,” Corinne answered lightly.


    Lucas looked at her thoughtfully. “You didn’t want to see Jeremy? Why?”


    Corinne did not want to exin herself. “No reason. I just didn’t want to see him. There’s no use in you


    asking. Besides, your sister didn’t want him to see me either.”

    Lucas leanedfortably against his chair. The way he was sitting looked as though he was a king


    looking down on those who served him and yet one could not help but find him elegant and cool.


    “Miss Carew, I believe you can tell that Anya and Jeremy are getting along very well with each other so


    I hope you’ll continue to use that brain of yours to stay away from him. It’ll be stupid of you to ever


    come in between them again.”


    Corinne frowned. ‘When did I evere in between them? Jeremy was the one who forced me into


    marrying him. I indeed fell for him a little during the three months but that’s because he lied to me! He


    told me he doesn’t have any feelings for Anya and that he only sees her as someone who saved his life


    before. I know I was a fool to believe him but-‘
