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 to come up. Fearing that Corinne might leave, he
decided to head downstairs and fetch her. However, he was 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 hea
