Chapter 501

Rosie would never refuse an instruction from the man she loved, and she nodded demurely as she said, “I will,

Lucas! Rest assured I’ll bring Anya back!”

Her heart was abuzz with joy because she felt that Lucas’s willingness to assign a task as important as taking care

of Anya meant that she was a special person in Lucas’s heart.

Corinne, on the other hand, was just a shabby little secretary doing odd jobs.

After Rosie left, Lucas glanced at the people all around him. His refined and elegant gaze was very polite, yet it

belied the annoyance in his expression. “Do you all intend to continue being a busybody?”

Everyone was silent, but they soon left sensibly.

Lucas glanced at Corinne and said, “Miss Corinne, how do you feel after seeing someone you

don’t wish to see?”

Corinne could hear the subtle sarcasm in Lucas’s tone but answered calmly, “I don’t feel

anything.”

Lucas curled his lips into an expressionless smirk. “You’re very honest.”

Corinne was starting to get bored, so she said to him, “Mister Lucas, if there’s nothing you

need me to do, then can I get off work right now and go

home?”

Lucas narrowed his eyes and looked at her. “How are you going to leave this place all by yourself when there aren’t

any taxis around here?”

Corinne knew that it was not easy to find a taxi around those parts, so she planned to ask Aaron to pick her up.

However, she had to keep her connection to the Newmoon Group a secret from Lucas, lest she lose the chance to

continue being the secretary.

“You don’t need to worry about me, Mister Lucas. I can book a taxi using an e-hailing

application.”

“E-hailing application?” Lucas snorted softly. “You need to be aware that you’re now a full- time employee of the

Rivera Group. If something happens to you when you’re on the way home, the company will have to take

responsibility and we’ll be subject to public backlash. Must you do things that will cause trouble for our company?”

Corinne’s lips twitched. ‘Is he cursing me? Why is he so sure that I’ll get into an accident?’

Besides, if he was genuinely worried about the personal safety of his employees, he could always get a car to send

her home. The fact that he did not do so made it abundantly clear that he simply did not want to let her have her

way, rather than being worried about her safety.

“Fine. I’ll wait until the party is over and leave with you.

Lucas grunted indifferently and walked away.

Corinne followed silently behind him when she passed by the bathroom in front of her. “Sir, I’d like to go to the

bathroom.”

“Go ahead.”

Corinne went into the bathroom, locked the door, and exhaled deeply. Thin, dense beads of cold sweat began to

drip from her forehead. As she sat on the edge of the toilet seat, she gently lifted her dress and saw a scrape on

her thigh just above her knee.

It was already bleeding from when she climbed the window and across the wall from Cole’s room to the other

room. The wound was caused by a scratch from the edge of a windowsill that had not been repaired for years. It

hurt badly, but she did her best to endure it because she was worried that someone might suspect her of climbing

the window.

After cleaning the wound and taking care of it, Corinne came out of the bathroom. xo.com fast update

However, Lucas was nowhere to be seen. Clearly, he would not wait for such an insignificant secretary like her at

the bathroom door.

Moreover, Lucas hated her from the bottom of his heart. In any case, she was in no mood to look for Lucas at that

moment and decided to just head downstairs so she could find a place to sit and rest. No one could tell that she had

an injury to her thigh from the way she walked leisurely toward the stairs.

All of a sudden, a rough and slightly cold palm appeared out of nowhere and landed on her shoulder, holding her

down.

‘Who is it now?’ Corinne thought to herself in shock.
