Chapter 899


    Chapter 899 Edmund looked at the ice cream kiosk and said, “How about you head up first? I’ll get the


    ice cream for you. Just let me know which vor you’d like!’ “Vani, please.” Corinne took out a


    banknote and handed it to him. ‘Here’s the money for the ice cream!” Edmund was about to wave his


    hand and refuse when he saw the frown on Corinne’s face. She seemed to be warning him that she


    would not go up if he did not take the money from her. Edmund had no choice but to ept the money


    before waiting in line. Since she had someone to help buy the ice cream, Corinne immediately made


    her way into thepany. Unexpectedly, she ran into an acquaintance soon as she entered the


    elevator. A beautifully dressed woman with red lips was startled to see Corinne enter the elevator. She


    remarked in an odd tone, “Well, if it isn’t Corinne! You were formerly Mister Lucas’ secretary and was


    later promoted to the sales manager role, right?” Corinne recognized her as one of the staff members.


    After Lucas transferred her to the sales department, the same female employee reced her as Lucas’


    secretary. However, she could not remember the woman’s name at that time. Corinne tended not to


    concern herself with unimportant people, and she simply nodded with a smile. “Long time no see.” The


    female employee purposely moved closer to Corinne and said teasingly, ‘I heard that you were fired by


    Mister Lucas! Why are you here today?” Corinne repliedzily. “For lunch.” The female employee


    frowned and sneered. “Lunch? Do you think ourpany is a restaurant that you cane to


    whenever you want? Don’t be so silly!” Corinne yawned and nced up to see how many floors she


    had passed. ‘I find it silly, too.” The female staff member felt that Corinne was merely brushing her off


    with that remark. She did not believe that Corinne was just there for lunch, so she began to pry, “Hey,


    be honest, will you? Why are you here, Corinne? Are you going to get yourself rehired?” Corinne


    nced at her. “Why are you so curious about me?” The female employee rolled her eyes in disgust.


    “We’re ex-colleagues, right? Can’t I show concern for an ex-colleague?” She was not just purely


    curious, of course. Anya had tasked her to keep an eye on Corinne’s every move and ry anything of


    note back to her. However, Anyater ignored her after Corinne was fired by Lucas. Since Corinne had


    reappeared back at thepany, she felt that she could use the opportunity to inquire about Corinne


    and report any findings to Anya. That way, she could establish a better rtionship with Anya so sheProperty belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    could put in a good word for her. s, Corinne ignored her. The female employee continued to pester


    Corinne and became upset when she did not answer. ‘Hey! Corinne! I’m asking you a question! “How


    can you be so arrogant and ignore me?! “What’s with that act, huh? You only worked a couple of days


    at the sales department, and Mister Lucas fired you in the end, too! “If you’re trying to get yourself


    rehired, I’ll have you know that a highly- educated person who is several times morepetent than


    you has been appointed to that position already. You’ll never get the job back!”
