Chapter 554
Corinne nodded without hesitation.
“Yes. Since your sister has pretended to pass out, and we all know it’s impossible to wake person
who’s pretending to pass out, you need to apologize on her behalf as well!” Lucas was speechless. No
one ever so brazenly asked him to apologize to them before.
At that moment, Jeremy who was sitting not far away smoking a cigarette smirked. He narrowed his
eyes slightly in both admiration and sarcasm as he watched Corinne trying to extract an apology out of
Lucas.
‘She’s still as spunky as ever. No matter where she is or who she is going up against, she never backs
down from a fight to uphold justice for herself and others. Lucas has certainly met his match this time,’
thought Jeremy.
He puffed out some smoke rings. The more he admired Corinne, the more unhappy he became. This
was because it was the same spunkiness that made her ignore his feelings and run away without
telling him to get married to another man.
At that moment, looking at Corinne, the amusement in Jason’s eyes became even stronger.’ She might
look like a cute pushover but it would be foolish for anyone to mess with her alright. Interestingly, she
would dare to make her boss apologize to her.’
After a long while of silence, seeing that Corinne was not joking, Lucas’ face darkened as he said
coldly, “On behalf of my sister and I, we would like to apologize to you, Miss Carew. There. Are you
happy now?”
Corinne smiled. “Yes. I ept your apology. And aspensation for framing me, be so kind as to
give me the rest of the day off?”
Lucas frowned and red at her in disbelief.
The smile on Corinne’s lips became even wider as she exined, “The whole matter has exhausted
me so I’d like to go home to have a rest. I trust that an understanding and generous person like you will
allow me to do that, right?”

Lucas never met such an opportunistic woman before! He scoffed and said, “Yes, go home and rest all
you want. If it pleases you, you don’t ever have toe to the office again.”
Corinne put on a professional smile. “Don’t worry. I’ll make sure to arrive at the office on time tomorrow.
See you then, Mister Lucas.”
Lucas was speechless. He narrowed his eyes and red at Corinne coldly for a minute though he did
have to admit to himself that he admired her attitude of being neither too humble nor too overbearing.
However, he would not fall in love with her just because of that.
After that, he walked around Corinne and strode out of the restaurant..
Corinne shrugged, not taking his attitude to heart. She then smiled at thedy owner and said, “Sorry,
ma’am, for taking up your time. We’ll be leaving then to let you get on with your business.”
Thedy owner did not know the dynamics between Corinne and the rest of the group so she simply
smiled and said some perfunctory words. “d I could be of some help!”
Having drunk too much water, Corinne wanted to go to the restroom. As soon as she turned around,
she saw Jeremy was gone from his seat. He must have left to go check on Anya. She did pass out
after all so it’s understandable that he would be worried about her,’ she thought.
She let out a scoff before walking leisurely to the restroom.
Aftering out of the restaurant, Corinne wanted to call a taxi to send her back but was unable to
because the entrance was blocked by two head-turning luxury cars.
One of the cars was Jeremy’s usual ride a limited edition high-spec McLaren other was Jason’s
streamlined sedan, and though not as ostentatious as Jeremy’s car, nheless very expensive.
However, what was even more attractive than the two cars was their owners.
Jeremy, with both of his hands stuffed inside his pants’ pockets, was standing in front of his car. His
expression was one of sternness and coldness.
“Get in!” he said coldly as soon as he saw Corinneing out of the entrance.
