“Yes, Mister Lucas.”

Edmund had no choice but to do what Lucas said. He turned around, threw Corinne a disgustedglance, and said huffily, “Miss Carew, please follow me.”

Corinne nodded, yawned lazily, and followed him out of the office.

At the hotel, the Aburian clients are staying.

Three men dressed in exotic clothes were dining in the restaurant downstairs of the hotel. They weretalking in a foreign language, and their tone and expressions were very serious and unhappy as if theywere complaining about something that made them angry.

Not far from the restaurant, Edmund passed Corinne the details about the project. “The three menthere are the clients. Do you need me to take you there?” he asked coldly.

Corinne waved her hand. “No. I can go by myself.”

That was just fine with Edmund since he did not have the intention to take her there anyway. He did notwant to experience second-hand embarrassment in case Corinne did something unexpected toembarrass herself.

In his mind, he already gave up on ever salvaging the relationship with the Aburian clients for he knewLucas was only using this opportunity to get rid of Corinne.

Corinne quickly flipped through the information in her hand to get a rough idea of what she needed todo. Then, without hesitation, she strode to where the Aburian clients were sitting and introduced herselfto them.

Since Edmund did not know a lick of Aburian, he sat down at a table not far from where the clientswere to monitor the situation.

In the beginning, the three Aburian men were still sullen, probably because of what happened with theuseless translator. However, that quickly changed after Corinne said something to them in fluentAburian.

Edmund saw the three Aburian men beam a smile at Corinne and warmly invited her to sit down andhave lunch with them. Corinne gracefully sat down and the four of them had a pleasant conversationtogether.

Seeing this nearly made Edmund’s jaw drop to the ground. He blinked in disbelief, wondering if he washallucinating. After observing for a while, he concluded that Corinne was the real thing and thischanged his impression of her for the better.

‘She’s doing it huh!’ 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 seriouslygoing 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? Itwas not like the company would go under just because they lost this business. Besides, it wasimpossible to replace 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 failto retain the client. In this way, it could be regarded as him helping to clear one of Anya’s biggestrelationship 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 MissCarew back if she fails to make the client happy. This company will never hire someone arrogantenough to think she can solve a problem with pure bravado alone.”

Edmund had no choice but to do what Lucas said. He turned around, threw Corinne a disgustedglance, and said huffily, “Miss Carew, please follow me.”

Corinne nodded, yawned lazily, and followed him out of the office.

Meanwhile, at the French restaurant called Kairos Flower.

The restaurant manager immediately greeted Lucas enthusiastically as soon as he gracefully waltzedinto the restaurant.

“Welcome, Mister Lucas. Mister Jeremy and Miss Anya are waiting for you at the VIP table. Pleaseallow me to lead you to their table.”

Lucas nodded and followed the restaurant manager to the VIP table.

Anya was talking incessantly to Jeremy but stopped when she saw Lucas walking over to them. Shesmiled and waved him over. “Finally, you’re here, Lucas!”

The waiter respectfully pulled out a chair for him and he sat down next to Anya.

After ordering, Lucas gave the menu back to the waiter and signaled to him to give them some privacy.

Lucas looked at Jeremy who was sitting opposite him and cutting his steak slowly and said, “Sorry formaking you wait, Jeremy.”
