Chapter 450
‘If I leave the office now I’d bump into Anya and Jeremy! What should I do?’ thought Corinne.
Lucas looked at the panicking Corinne and thought he liked her better this way. ‘She’s way cuter like this than when
she’s all huffy-puffy,’ he raised his eyebrow and said mockingly, “So the great and mighty Corinne does know how
to panic as well.” xo.com fast update
Corinne was speechless. She was not in the mood for Lucas’s mockery. ‘D*mmit! Of all the things I’ve expected to
go wrong, this is certainly one I didn’t see coming.”
She banked on the fact that the Holdens and the Riveras were at odds with each other. Therefore, she was
confident Jeremy would not appear in the company. She even remembered the bad vibe clashing in the air
whenever Jeremy and Lucas were in the same room.

to accept each other? If that’s true, that’ll explain why they’re getting engaged so soon,’ thought Corinne, clenching
her fists.
Lucas narrowed his eyes. Not giving a d*mn about Corinne’s feelings, he then said to Edmund, “Let them in!”
“Yes, Mister Lucas.”
‘Sh*t! They’re coming in!’ Corinne started to scan the room for somewhere to hide as the door opened bit by bit.
She did not want to see Jeremy or have any contact with him!
Finally, without asking for Lucas’s permission, she ran over and hid behind the large bookshelf that was behind
Lucas’s desk. She heaved a sigh of relief after she hid herself.
Not even a few seconds later, she heard Anya’s voice in the room.
“Lucas, why did you ask me to rush over here? Was there an emergency?” asked Anya softly. Her voice was as
harmless as a newborn deer.
“Oh, it’s nothing. It’s just that you’ve been spending so much time with Jeremy that you rarely come home
anymore. I was starting to worry that you’d forgotten all about me.”
His voice was so much warmer than when he was speaking to Corinne just moments ago. However, there was a
little bit of jealousy mixed in with the adoration he had for his little
sister.
“You know that’s not true, Lucas! How can you say that I rarely go home anymore when I’m home every night?”
said Anya, blushing madly.
“Yeah, but you go out every day at seven in the morning. I don’t even come to work that early! And you only come
home when it’s close to midnight. Plus, you eat dinner outside so that’s as good as not being at home in my eyes,”
replied Lucas with a scoff.

Anya walked around the desk and jumped onto Lucas’s lap. “That’s because I have something to do. It’s not like I
purposely don’t want to be at home.”
Lucas hugged his beloved little sister. “Just admit it! You have no room for anyone for your fiance.”
“Lucas!” Anya buried her head shyly in Lucas’s chest.

Lucas patted her on the head with a look of resignation on his face. He then looked up at the man who came in with
Anya and nodded at him as a way of greeting.
“Jeremy, thanks for bringing my sister over.”
“Don’t mention it,” said Jeremy with a nod. He was standing with both of his hands casually shoved into his pockets.
At that moment, Corinne felt as though her chest was being pressed down by a thousand- pound rock. This was the
first time in a month she heard Jeremy’s voice again and she did not know what to feel.
From the corner of his eye, Lucas glanced at the bookshelf behind him through the reflection on the computer
screen, and his expression suddenly became sly.
“Jeremy, I would like to discuss with you about your engagement with my sister. Are you free to talk now?”
