Chapter 901


    As soon as Anya appeared, the female employee immediately held her arm as though she was herst


    hope. ‘Miss Anya, thank goodness you’re here! I don’t know why, but Mister Lucas just fired me. Please


    help me get my job back!”


    Anya shook her off with disgust as though she had just been touched by something dirty. “Get off me!


    Why should I help you get your job back?


    You’re nothing but a lowly nobody!”


    The female employee was stunned. She looked at Anya in disbelief. “Miss Anya? Didn’t you say you


    see a lot of potential in me? You’ve even asked me to keep an eye on Corinne for you, and-“


    Anya hated how she was blocking her path, so she pushed her away. “I can’t believe you’re stupid


    enough to believe what I said! You should take a good look in the mirror, you idiot!”


    The woman fell to the floor and immediately broke down crying. Not only was she fired from her job, but


    Anya abandoned her, too! ‘What have I done to deserve this?’ she wailed internally.


    In her mind, Anya was the kindest person she ever met, so she could not believe she would turn out to


    be so cold-blooded.


    Meanwhile, in the Rivera Group building’s cafeteria.


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    The bustling cafeteria fell silent because of Lucas’ arrival. No one dared to speak, and the only sounds


    that could be heard were the scraping of the tes and the chewing of the food.


    Lucas picked out all the carrots in the dishes before pushing the te to Corinne. “There, all the carrots


    are gone. You can eat now, Corinne.”


    Corinne frowned at the carrot-less dishes. She then looked up at Lucas and said, “But carrots are one


    of my favorites. Why did you take them out?”


    Lucas was surprised. “You like carrots? But as your brother, I remember you hated them when you


    were little.”


    Corinne’s eyes turned cold. “People do change, you know. Plus, I don’t even remember what I liked or


    didn’t like to eat when I was little. By the way, can you stop referring to yourself as my brother? I don’t


    like it.”


    ‘Fine, I’ll stop…” said Lucas helplessly. ‘Til go get some carrots for you now. ■


    He then got up, but before he took a step, Corinne said, “No, thanks. There are some perfectly good


    carrots here. We shouldn’t waste food like that.”


    She then pulled the teful of carrots Lucas had picked out closer to her before digging into her food.


    Lucas sat back down with resignation. He felt hurt when he saw her eating the carrots he had picked


    out. ‘She hated carrots the most when she was little, but all of a sudden, she likes it now? Just what did


    she go through to make her change her mind?’


    Well, Corinne would not havee to love carrots if she had anything else to eat as a child. Beggars


    could not be choosers, after all. While it was true Corinne got to leave out a peaceful childhood and


    teenagehood in the covenant, she did not have the luxury to be a picky eater.


    The covenant’s meals could be summed up in one word-nd. Also, the nuns would only eat the


    cheapest vegetable in the season, and it was an unspoken rule everyone had to eat what was served.


    In fact, out of all the dishes, the ones with carrots could be deemed as the most vorful.


    Lucas’ eyes reddened a little. He felt sorry for Corinne.


    “Corinne, you don’t have to eat that. I’ll get you some new ones. There’s no need to worry about


    wasting food here,” he said after getting up.


    “No, Mister Lucas. That won’t be necessary,” said Corinne sternly. “I’m okay with eating this, so there’s


    no need to trouble yourself.” 1


    Lucas felt crestfallen. ‘Seems like she’s still unwilling to ept me as her brother…’ he thought with


    resignation.
