Chapter 495
Lucas skeptically glanced at Corinne. When he noticed that she was only wearing her off- shoulder dress, he
frowned a little and asked, “Where’s the jacket that you were wearing?”
Corinne looked at her jacket-less shoulders and realized that the jacket was gone. ‘Crap!’
The jacket had accidentally fallen off when she jumped out from the bathroom windowsill and climbed into the next
room. Her pregnancy had affected her nimbleness, and that sort of mistake was something that should never have
happened in the first place.
At that point, she could only cook up an excuse and say, “I’m sorry, sir. I spilled a drink on your jacket and stained it,
so I took it off downstairs. I promise I’ll compensate you at the original cost. You can tell the company’s finance
department to deduct the amount from my salary every month.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLucas felt a little ashamed that he almost made the wrong accusation at her earlier, so he just waved his hands and
said calmly, “Forget about it. You make it sound so serious when it’s just a jacket.”
“Thank you, Mister Lucas,” Corinne heaved a sigh of relief.
Anya gritted her teeth secretly beside them. She was the one who bought the jacket and gave it to Lucas, and it
was a super expensive limited-edition piece no less.
‘Is Corinne the reason he doesn’t care about the jacket anymore?’
She had thoroughly underestimated Corinne and did not expect that the latter could have such an effect on her
brother, who generally did not care much for women.
“What’s going on? Why is there a crowd over here? Did something happen?” A temperamental female voice asked.
Amidst the solemn and gentle tones within that voice was a touch of maturity and sternness.
Someone then called out respectfully, “Missus Benet!”
“Hello, Missus Benet!”
“Missus Benet…”
“You’re here, Missus Benet!”
A woman in her thirties passed through the crowd. She wore a dark blue fishtail evening dress that oozed charm,
elegance, luxury, and fashion.
Anya trotted happily toward her and called out sweetly, “Auntie!”
Rosie made a point to flatter her future aunt. “Missus Benet, the dress you’re wearing today is so beautiful! It
makes you look so pure, so graceful, and so magnificent!”
The woman glanced briefly at Rosie, ignored the sweetly-smiling Anya, and raised her mature yet charming eyes to
look at her nephew Lucas. “What’s the matter, Lucas? Why are there so many people gathered here?”
Lucas said, “Nothing. A brief and insignificant incident just happened, but everything’s all right now.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMissus Benet had severe obsessive-compulsive dxo.com fast updateisorder and abhorred it when people
brought chaos to order. That included the order at her birthday party.
“Who did you come with today, Lucas? Where’s your companion?”
Missus Benet had just posed her nephew that question when she noticed a woman beside him. Her gaze landed on
Corinne and she asked, “Who’s this person? I don’t remember seeing her
before.”
Lucas introduced curtly, “She is my companion, Auntie.”
Corinne looked politely at the young and elegantly-dressed 30-something woman and nodded slightly. “Hello,
Ma’am. I’m accompanying Mister Lucas here today, and I’m also the new secretary of his company. My name is
Corinne Carew.”
Missus Benet’s sharp eyes scanned Corinne from top to bottom. “Are you wearing ‘Spirit in the Mist’ from Comi’s
newest range of dresses this season?”
