Chapter 481


    Lucas squinted his eyes and sneered indifferently. “You need to attend an event with me tomorrow, so


    be prepared in advance to dress formally.”


    Corinne was dazed. What event?


    She then recalled when they were in the ward earlier, Lucas said that Corinne was his partner for


    tomorrow to brush Anya and Rosie off. The event should be Anya’s aunt’s birthday party as she


    mentioned before.


    She was only cooperating with her boss at that time. She did not expect that Lucas was truly nning


    to take her to the party!


    Corinne was a little torn. She never liked attending that sort of fancy party. However, she thought that


    since Lucas’s aunt was a senior member of the Riveras, she should know more about the things that


    happened in the family in the past. Therefore, she might be able to inquire about her mother if she got


    in contact with her.


    After giving it a thought, she turned her head to ask, “Mister Lucas, may I know if I would meet Jeremy


    at the event tomorrow?”


    Lucas looked up at her, feeling intrigued. It was after falling silent for a moment that he said, “No. The


    Holdens never attended parties held by the Riveras.”


    He was right. The Holdens and the Riveras conflicted so they probably would not attend events held by


    the other family’s rtives.

    Also, Jeremy said at the hospital that he was catching a flight, so he probably was on a business trip


    and would not return so soon.


    Upon receiving the ideal answer, Corinne smiled professionally and said, “Alright, Mister Lucas. I’ll


    prepare formal wear for tomorrow and attend the event with you.”


    Lucas was resting his eyes and said nothing.


    The business hours for the Rivera Group ended at five in the evening, but Corinne only left the office at


    six.


    After leaving the Rivera Group’s building, Corinne strolled for a distance, then she naturally walked into


    a quiet alley.


    A ck MPV was parked along the alley. Corinne walked straight to it, opened the door, and got in.


    Xante was focused on typing away on herptop’s keyboard in the car. Hearing that somebody got in


    the car, she turned her head to the side. Then, the cool and distant expression on her face was


    immediately reced by a gentle and respectful smile. “You’ve finally got off work, boss.”


    Corinne was tired. She leaned against the back of the seat and tilted her head to lean on Xante’s


    shoulderzily.


    Aaron was sitting in the front passenger seat. He looked at his watch, then turned around toin,”


    You just got off work at this hour? How inhumane of the Rivera Group!”


    Taking a break while leaning on Xanter’s shoulder, Corinne said with azy voice, “It’s not like that. The


    majority of the employees at the Rivera Group get off work at five in the evening on the dot. But Lucas


    stayed back to work overtime. As his secretary, I can’t leave before him.”


    Xante raised her hand and rubbed Corinne’s shoulder as she felt sorry for her. “You insisted on joining


    the


    Rivera Group and serving him, but I can’t stand seeing how tiring it is for you.”


    Corinne kept yawning. “It’s just for a period. It’s no big deal. If I can’t even endure this bit of suffering, I


    wouldn’t have been able to grow up!”


    Xante sighed. “But you’re pregnant now. You shouldn’t overwork yourself!”


    Corinne rubbed her belly. “My child is going like me, not afraid of adversity and getting tired. It’s fine.


    Oh yes, Xante. Remember to lend me a formal dress tomorrow!”
