Chapter 454


    Hearing this, both Lucas and Edmund looked her up and down in unison.


    After two seconds of silence, Lucas narrowed his eyes and asked suspiciously, “You know Aburian?”


    Corinne smiled. “A little.”


    Edmund snorted. ‘Why, this woman would lie through her teeth to achieve her goals,’ he thought. His


    impression of her took a nosedive aspared to when he was interviewing her just now.


    “Miss Carew, you do know this job requires you to be fluent in thenguage, right? Knowing hello or


    goodbye doesn’t count so please don’t butt in while I’m speaking with Mister Lucas.” Corinne’s resume


    did not say that she knew any foreignnguages so it was understandable Edmund did not believe her


    when she said she knows a little Aburian. ‘Why wouldn’t she list. that down in her resume if she knows


    Aburian?”


    Corinne remained calm. “I might not be at the native level but I’m pretty confident that I can be of help


    to the client.


    Edmund scoffed. This time, he chose to say anything to her and instead, turned around to face Lucas.


    “Mister Lucas, what should we do?”


    Lucas already turned away from Corinne and was looking at theputer screen, wondering if there


    was any other way to quickly find a professional Aburian trantor. Like Edmund, he also thought


    Corinne was just butting her nose to cause even more trouble for them.


    Corinne knew they did not believe her so she took a few steps forward and said, “Mister Lucas, the


    problem yourpany is facing right now is that you’ll lose this client if you can’t find a suitable


    Aburian trantor. Rather than just sit here and fret your time away, why don’t you give me a chance?”


    Lucas threw an icy nce at her. “Miss Carew, this is not a game.”


    Corinne smiled. “Do I look like I’m joking? How about we make a deal then? If I sessfully keep this


    client’s business for thepany, you’re to hire me as your executive secretary and if I fail, I promise


    I’ll never show my face around here again. You, Anya, and Jeremy will be free of me forever. How does


    that sound?”


    To be honest, she did not like Lucas, not even one bit. Even if they shared the same DNA, she still


    could not find it in her heart to like someone who looked down his nose at those who did note from


    the same background as he did.


    However, after seeing the photo of her mother on Lucas’ desk, Corinne became even more determined


    to stay in Rivera Group because only by getting close to Lucas could she get closer


    to the truth of what happened to her mother.


    Lucas looked at her silently for more than ten seconds. Suddenly he smiled and said, “Very well then.


    Edmund, bring her to the client.”


    Edmund was shocked. “What? Mister Lucas, I don’t-”

    ‘Think that’s a good idea. This chick doesn’t look like she knows Aburian. Is Mister Lucas seriously


    going to gamble away the business like this?’ thought Edmund.


    Lucas was not joking; he was dead serious. His thinking was, what was the worst that could. happen?


    It was not like thepany would go under just because they lost this business. Besides, it was


    impossible to find a suitable Aburian trantor on such short notice and if he was honest with himself,


    he found Corinne’s proposition very attractive.


    Corinne gave him her words that she would never bother Anya and Jeremy ever again should she fail


    to retain the client. In this way, it could be regarded as him helping to clear one of Anya’s biggest


    rtionship obstacles. It was a win-win solution for him so he might as well let Corinne try.


    Lucas picked up the warm coffee from his desk and took a sip. “Edmund, you don’t need to bring Miss


    Carew back if she fails to make the client happy. Thispany will never hire someone arrogant


    enough to think she can solve a problem with pure bravado alone.
