Hearing this, both Lucas and Edmund looked her up and down in unison.

After two seconds of silence, Lucas narrowed his eyes and asked suspiciously, “You know Aburian?”

Corinne smiled. “A little.” xo.com fast update

Edmund snorted. ‘Why, this woman would lie through her teeth to achieve her goals,’ he thought. His impression of

her took a nosedive as compared to when he was interviewing her just now.

“Miss Carew, you do know this job requires you to be fluent in the language, right? Knowing hello or goodbye

doesn’t count so please don’t butt in while I’m speaking with Mister Lucas.” Corinne’s resume did not say that she

knew any foreign languages so it was understandable Edmund did not believe her when she said she knows a little

Aburian. ‘Why wouldn’t she list. that down in her resume if she knows Aburian?”

Corinne remained calm. “I might not be at the native level but I’m pretty confident that I can be of help to the

client.

Edmund scoffed. This time, he chose to say anything to her and instead, turned around to face Lucas. “Mister

Lucas, what should we do?”

Lucas already turned away from Corinne and was looking at the computer screen, wondering if there was any

other way to quickly find a professional Aburian translator. Like Edmund, he also thought Corinne was just butting

her nose to cause even more trouble for them.

Corinne knew they did not believe her so she took a few steps forward and said, “Mister Lucas, the problem your

company is facing right now is that you’ll lose this client if you can’t find a suitable Aburian translator. Rather than

just sit here and fret your time away, why don’t you give me a chance?”

Lucas threw an icy glance at her. “Miss Carew, this is not a game.”

Corinne smiled. “Do I look like I’m joking? How about we make a deal then? If I successfully keep this client’s

business for the company, you’re to hire me as your executive secretary and if I fail, I promise I’ll never show my

face around here again. You, Anya, and Jeremy will be free of me forever. How does that sound?”

To be honest, she did not like Lucas, not even one bit. Even if they shared the same DNA, she still could not find it in

her heart to like someone who looked down his nose at those who did not come from the same background as he

did.

However, after seeing the photo of her mother on Lucas’ desk, Corinne became even more determined to stay in

Rivera Group because only by getting close to Lucas could she get closer

to the truth of what happened to her mother.

Lucas looked at her silently for more than ten seconds. Suddenly he smiled and said, “Very well then. Edmund,

bring her to the client.”

Edmund was shocked. “What? Mister Lucas, I don’t-”

‘Think that’s a good idea. This chick doesn’t look like she knows Aburian. Is Mister Lucas seriously going to gamble

away the business like this?’ thought Edmund.

Lucas was not joking; he was dead serious. His thinking was, what was the worst that could. happen? It was not like

the company would go under just because they lost this business. Besides, it was impossible to find a suitable

Aburian translator on such short notice and if he was honest with himself, he found Corinne’s proposition very

attractive.

Corinne gave him her words that she would never bother Anya and Jeremy ever again should she fail to retain the

client. In this way, it could be regarded as him helping to clear one of Anya’s biggest relationship obstacles. It was a

win-win solution for him so he might as well let Corinne try.

Lucas picked up the warm coffee from his desk and took a sip. “Edmund, you don’t need to bring Miss Carew back if

she fails to make the client happy. This company will never hire someone arrogant enough to think she can solve a

problem with pure bravado alone.
