Chapter 522
Corinne asked Lucas why she was suddenly being promoted and he only paid her lip service, saying that with her
skills and experiences, she was overqualified to be only working as a
secretary.
‘What kind of half *ss reason is that?’ She instinctively looked at the smiling Jason and thought, ‘He has something
to do with this.”
After coming out of Lucas’s office, Edmund brought her to the new office she would be working in from there
onwards. He even arranged for somebody to redecorate the office.
“Miss Carew, feel free to come to me if you want to change anything in your office. We can redecorate it to any
style you like,” said Edmund before leaving Corinne alone in her new
office.

“Thank you but I’m good for the moment.”
She sat down on the chair and it was most definitely more comfortable than the chair she had when she was just a
secretary. However, it would not be convenient for her to look into her mother’s matter if she did not have the
chance to get close to Lucas.
Knock! Knock!
Jason knocked on her door and gracefully walked in.
“How do you like your new office?”
Corinne was indifferent to the whole thing. She did not come to Rivera Group to get promoted!
“Jason Talbot, just what the hell did you say to Mister Lucas for him to promote me so suddenly?”
Jason pulled out the chair that was directly across Corinne’s and sat down. He smiled. flirtatiously at her and said, “I
told him I’m trying to make you like me so would he be so kind as to promote you for my sake.”
Unmoved, Corinne rolled her eyes at him. “Stop joking and be serious!”
Jason smiled. “I am being serious! I want you to be my girlfriend!”
Corinne always knew Jason liked flirting with her so she was immune to his advances.
“What I mean is, what did you tell Mister Lucas to make him promote me? Tell me the truth!”
Jason’s expression became serious. “I know Lucas the best and I can tell he doesn’t like you. You’ll suffer if you
continue to work under him so I told him that you’re going to be my girlfriend in the future and I don’t want my
girlfriend to be working as a coffee girl in Rivera
Group. Then I asked him to give you a cushier job.”
Corinne looked at him as if he was nothing but a nuisance.
“Jason Talbot, has anyone ever told you just how shameless you are?”
Jason beamed a dashing smile at her. “Nope. You’re the first.”
Corinne was speechless.

“Haha. That’s what all guys say to the girls that want to get into their beds.”
Jason was not in a hurry to prove himself so he said, “Time tells. You’ll eventually come to know that I only ever feel
like this toward you.”
Corinne paid no mind to his feelings and instead asked, “So Mister Lucas agreed to promote me just like that?”
“Of course not. You know that Lucas is a sly old fox. He only does something if it’s going to benefit him and I’m
pretty sure he’s immune to matters of love.”
“Then how did you get him to promote me?”
“I told him that his precious little sister would have her biggest threat removed if I can get you to be my girlfriend.
Think of how much easier his life would be then and after thinking about it for a few seconds, he finally agreed.
Clever of me to use his biggest weakness against him huh?”
Corinne frowned and asked, “How am I Miss Anya’s biggest threat?”
Jason looked straight into her eyes and asked, “You have no idea why?”
