The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

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 flavor you'd like!' "Vanilla, 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 accept the money before waiting in line.
Since she had someone to help buy the ice cream, Corinne immediately made her way into the company.
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 replaced 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 replied lazily. "For lunch."
The female employee frowned and sneered. "Lunch? Do you think our company is a restaurant that you can come to whenever
you want? Don't be so silly!"
Corinne yawned and glanced 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 glanced 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 relay anything of
note back to her.
However, Anya later ignored her after Corinne was fired by Lucas.
Since Corinne had reappeared back at the company, 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 relationship with Anya so she could put in a good word for her.
Alas, 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 more competent
than you has been appointed to that position already. You'll never get the job back!"
