Chapter 522


    Corinne asked Lucas why she was suddenly being promoted and he only paid her lip service, saying


    that with her skills and experiences, she was overqualified to be only working as a


    secretary.


    ‘What kind of half *ss reason is that?’ She instinctively looked at the smiling Jason and thought, ‘He has


    something to do with this.”


    Aftering out of Lucas’s office, Edmund brought her to the new office she would be working in from


    there onwards. He even arranged for somebody to redecorate the office.


    “Miss Carew, feel free toe to me if you want to change anything in your office. We can redecorate


    it to any style you like,” said Edmund before leaving Corinne alone in her new


    office.


    Even Edmund’s attitude toward her changed! Corinne found the whole thing surreal.


    “Thank you but I’m good for the moment.”


    She sat down on the chair and it was most definitely morefortable than the chair she had when


    she was just a secretary. However, it would not be convenient for her to look into her mother’s matter if


    she did not have the chance to get close to Lucas.


    Knock! Knock!


    Jason knocked on her door and gracefully walked in.


    “How do you like your new office?”


    Corinne was indifferent to the whole thing. She did note to Rivera Group to get promoted!


    “Jason Talbot, just what the hell did you say to Mister Lucas for him to promote me so suddenly?”


    Jason pulled out the chair that was directly across Corinne’s and sat down. He smiled. flirtatiously at


    her and said, “I told him I’m trying to make you like me so would he be so kind as to promote you for


    my sake.”


    Unmoved, Corinne rolled her eyes at him. “Stop joking and be serious!”


    Jason smiled. “I am being serious! I want you to be my girlfriend!”


    Corinne always knew Jason liked flirting with her so she was immune to his advances.

    “What I mean is, what did you tell Mister Lucas to make him promote me? Tell me the truth!”


    Jason’s expression became serious. “I know Lucas the best and I can tell he doesn’t like you. You’ll


    suffer if you continue to work under him so I told him that you’re going to be my girlfriend in the future


    and I don’t want my girlfriend to be working as a coffee girl in Rivera


    Group. Then I asked him to give you a cushier job.”


    Corinne looked at him as if he was nothing but a nuisance.


    “Jason Talbot, has anyone ever told you just how shameless you are?”


    Jason beamed a dashing smile at her. “Nope. You’re the first.”


    Corinne was speechless.


    “I’ve never treated any other woman like how I treat you.”


    “Haha. That’s what all guys say to the girls that want to get into their beds.”


    Jason was not in a hurry to prove himself so he said, “Time tells. You’ll eventuallye to know that I


    only ever feel like this toward you.”


    Corinne paid no mind to his feelings and instead asked, “So Mister Lucas agreed to promote me just


    like that?”


    “Of course not. You know that Lucas is a sly old fox. He only does something if it’s going to benefit him


    and I’m pretty sure he’s immune to matters of love.”


    “Then how did you get him to promote me?”


    “I told him that his precious little sister would have her biggest threat removed if I can get you to be my


    girlfriend. Think of how much easier his life would be then and after thinking about it for a few seconds,


    he finally agreed. Clever of me to use his biggest weakness against him huh?”


    Corinne frowned and asked, “How am I Miss Anya’s biggest threat?”


    Jason looked straight into her eyes and asked, “You have no idea why?”
