While accepting the document from Corinne, Lucas shot a cold glance at his brother. "Do your work."Having been scolded by his brother, Sunny lowered his head sullenly to continue working on the specimen paper, not daring to make another sound.Lucas skimmed through the sales proposal Corinne prepared, looking slightly dazed. After that, he squinted as if he seemed to be impressed by her business acumen.After a moment, he raised his eyebrow, looking at her slightly suspiciously. "You did this yourself?"Corinne nodded. "Yes, Mister Lucas. I had some ideas after doing market research with Mister Jason yesterday, so I did this sales proposal for you to have a look at. If there's no problem with it, I'll implement this plan."Lucas sneered while surveying her. "It's not bad, but it's unnecessary!"Corinne frowned. "Why?"Lucas closed the file and tossed it aside. "Food products are just an extremely small business to the company. We're not expecting to make a name for ourselves w
Corinne wanted to ignore them, so she automatically walked past them."Corinne!" Anya called out to her in a gentle voice.Corinne stopped in her tracks, turning her face. "Is something up again, Miss Anya?"She was mocking her by adding the word "again," insinuating that she did plenty in the past. It also had a tinge of warning implied, telling her she better not create trouble again! Anya came to Corinne with a smile as pure as the driven snow, then deliberately asked, "Corinne, why did you ignore me when you saw me?"What was there for them to talk about after Anya framed Corinne yesterday?Corinne pursed her lips. "No, it's just that I saw you and Mister Lucas' secretary were having an enjoyable conversation, so I didn't want to interject.""Oh, I see!" Anya's pure smile got broader. She took a step closer and tip-toed to reach Corinne's ear as Corinne was taller than her. Then, she spoke in a voice so soft that only Corinne could hear, "Corinne, you won yesterday! However
Anya glared at Corinne's back coldly before hiding her vicious expression. When she turned around, her usual gentle and sweet smile was on her face again. She said to the new secretary in front of Lucas's office, "Sienna, please help me keep an eye on things at Lucas's end in the future! You know how many women want to approach my brother using work as an excuse. I don't wish for him to be harassed by those women with ill intentions who would bring unnecessary trouble to him."Sienna nodded in full support. "I understand, Miss Anya! Don't worry. I would do just that. I'll secretly notify you if anything were to happen here, especially the actions of a certain sales manager. I definitely won't let her have a chance to harass Mister Lucas!""Mm-hmm. I feel reassured that you're here! Sienna, I feel you're very special. You're unlike those tacky women. Wishing you all the best!" Anya gave her a friendly smile before turning around to enter Lucas's office.The secretary named Sienna b
"Alright. Leave the soup. You should go back to the hospital and be with the child," Lucas cut her off, then he picked up the document on the table and looked through it. His cold attitude clearly showed that he did not wish to talk to her anymore.The document in his hand happened to be the sales proposal Corinne just submitted. Looking at the well-organized words and data, Lucas could not help but think about what Corinne said before she left, regarding whether or not they should expand the sales of the food products. He was thinking that if his sister, Luna, was still alive, would she have never had these food products before because they were not promoted well enough? If she managed to have her favorite childhood snacks, would she start reminiscing about their past and think of returning home to visit her brother?Perhaps the sales proposal Corinne drew up could be implemented.Seeing that her brother did not wish to listen to her or even take another look at her anymore, Anya
After Sunny ran out of the office, he asked the secret at the door, "Hey, where's the office for the lady who went in to deliver a document to my brother?"Sienna stood up. "Mister Sunny, are you asking about Corinne?"Sunny nodded. "Yes, she's the one!"Feeling a little confused, Sienna asked, "Mister Sunny, why are you looking for Corinne? Do you know her very well?"Sunny frowned in annoyance. "Do I have to tell you why I'm looking for her?"Sienna quickly waved in a panic, smiling apologetically, and said, "Oh, no. No, no. I was just asking. Well, go straight ahead, turn right then turn left, and you'll arrive at the sales manager's office. Corinne's there. Do you need me to take you there?""No need!" Sunny said coldly, then he immediately went straight ahead and turned left to look for her office as he could not wait anymore.…After Sunny found the sales manager's office, he leaned against the door to look inside. It was after he confirmed Corinne was in there that he im
Corinne was still distracted and playing her game. "Yes, Mister Sunny. Go ahead. I'm listening!"Sunny got up and put his arms on her desk, leaning closer to her, and questioned her, "Tell me the truth. Why did you leave the Holdens?"Hearing this question, Corinne stopped moving her mouse for a moment so brief it was barely noticeable. Then, she pursed her lips a little, still not batting an eye. "I've completed my mission, so of course, I should leave."Sunny's handsome and youthful eyes were filled with confusion. "Mission? What mission?"It was only then glanced at him indifferently. "Didn't you already know this for a long time? Mister Jeremy was never serious about marrying me from the beginning. He was just asking me to help him deal with the elders in his family! I've completed my mission after that, so if I don't leave, I'll truly become your sister's love rival, won't I?"Sunny was taken aback, staring at the way she looked as she said it so casually. He pursed his lips,
Corinne was speechless. As expected, she overestimated his intelligence.With a sound of a ding, the elevator arrived and the door slowly opened.Corinne reached out her hand to select a floor again, preparing to go back upstairs on her own. At the same time, she said to Sunny indifferently, "Mister Sunny, if you don't want to go back to face Mister Lucas, you can leave."Sunny wanted to leave but not on his own. Instead, he dragged Corinne out of the elevator with him.After she was dragged out by him again, Corinne frowned helplessly. "Mister Sunny, can you not bother others when they're working?" Sunny did not agree with her. "Didn't you say you've finished everything you've supposed to do? Why are you in such a hurry to go back?"Corinne rolled her eyes at him. "Are we the same? You're a son of a wealthy man and I'm just a person working for a paycheck. If I leave my position without permission, my salary will be docked, do you understand?"Sunny acted like a spoiled, willf
Corinne could not wrap her head around it.Sunny chose the pair of small walnut sculptures in his hand. He said, "I am not related to my grandparents by blood, but they've been quite good to me all these years. They are just not too nice to my sister."Corinne was still spacing out. Sunny thought she was worried about paying for him in advance, so he seriously promised her, "Don't worry. I'll pay you back! My brother said he'll restore my cards' limits after I pass all my subjects."Corinne regained her senses and immediately burst out laughing. "You might as well just tell me straight away that you won't return the money to you, then!"Sunny frowned. "Corinne, don't look down on me. I'll be able to pass them sooner or later!"Corinne did not care about his results. After giving it a thought, he said, "I can help you pay for the gift, and you don't have to repay me! However, you have to promise to do one thing as a trade."Sunny looked at him with his eyes widened. "What do you w
