Chapter 900
Corinne kept quiet and did not even look at the woman. Instead, she raised her hand and used her pinky to dig into
her ear as if she had heard some noise.
Corinne's calmness irked the woman. She grabbed Corinne angrily. "Hey! I'm talking to you! Are you deaf? Why
aren't you answering me? Have you no manners, you b*tch?!’
The elevator doors opened with a ding.
Lucas was about to enter the elevator. His expression darkened when he saw what was happening inside.
Time seemed to pass very slowly after he knew Corinne was just outside the building. He was a little anxious in
waiting for Edmund to come up with her, and he was also worried that Edmund would not be able to persuade her

surprised when he saw the scene in the elevator.
"What are you doing?" Lucas asked sternly.
The female employee was taken aback when she turned and saw her boss just outside the elevator. She felt a little
awkward, so she quickly tried to explain herself, "Mister Lucas, do you remember her? You fired her some time ago,
and she's back today for some unknown reason! I asked her what business she was here for, but she just kept
quiet! She's so suspicious! I have a hunch that she's here to steal our business secrets, so I just-"
"Let her go," Lucas interjected.
The employee was startled by his frigid expression. She released Corinne right away.
Lucas strode into the elevator and gently grabbed Corinne's hand to check if she was okay.
His expression soured as soon as he noticed that her wrists were red. He turned around and asked coldly, "Which
department are you in?"
The female employee could not understand what was happening, and she was a little overwhelmed by everything.
At the same time, she also felt somewhat disappointed that she had not left an impression on him." Umm... Mister
Lucas, I used to be your secretary, but I was transferred to the marketing department. Don't you remember me?"
"Pack your bags and get lost. You're fired," Lucas informed without a second thought.
The female employee was stunned, and her eyes widened in shock. "Mister Lucas? I..."
"Get out!" Lucas lost his patience and did not want to listen to the woman's nonsense.
He then turned to look at Corinne and said in a soft tone, "Why did it take you so long to come up? Have you had
lunch yet?"
Corinne shook off Lucas' hand in disgust and said indifferently, "Not yet. I'm here for lunch."

Lucas did not get angry at her after being rejected. He smiled gently and said, "Right. You couldn't have come up
here to see me. Anyway, let's go. I'll bring you to lunch."
Corinne frowned. She did not want to go to the cafeteria with Lucas. However, she knew she could not get rid of
him as she was on his turf. She thus decided to go along with him and avoid any unnecessary trouble.
The female employee stood frozen in confoundment. 'Did he just fire me? Why? Just because I grabbed Corinne's
hand? Didn't he use to hate Corinne a lot before and even go so far as to fire her? What in the world is going on?
Mister Lucas even spoke in such a gentle tone to Corinne as if he was afraid of making her unhappy!’
Amid her confusion, a gloomy-faced Anya walked up to her slowly.
Anya narrowed her eyes as she looked in the direction Lucas and Corinne headed. Doubt and resentment began to
fill her heart.
