The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 455
“Yes, Mister Lucas.”
Edmund had no choice but to do what Lucas said. He turned around, threw Corinne a disgusted glance, 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 were talking in a foreign
language, and their tone and expressions were very serious and unhappy as if they were complaining about something that
made them angry.
Not far from the restaurant, Edmund passed Corinne the details about the project. “The three men there 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 not want to experience
second-hand embarrassment in case Corinne did something unexpected to embarrass herself.
In his mind, he already gave up on ever salvaging the relationship with the Aburian clients for he knew Lucas 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 to do. Then, without
hesitation, she strode to where the Aburian clients were sitting and introduced herself to them.
Since Edmund did not know a lick of Aburian, he sat down at a table not far from where the clients were to monitor the situation.
In the beginning, the three Aburian men were still sullen, probably because of what happened with the useless translator.
However, that quickly changed after Corinne said something to them in fluent Aburian.
Edmund saw the three Aburian men beam a smile at Corinne and warmly invited her to sit down and have lunch with them.
Corinne gracefully sat down and the four of them had a pleasant conversation together.

Seeing this nearly made Edmund’s jaw drop to the ground. He blinked in disbelief, wondering if he was hallucinating. After
observing for a while, he concluded that Corinne was the real thing and this changed 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 seriously going 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? It was not like the company
would go under just because they lost this business. Besides, it was impossible to find 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 fail to retain the client. In this
way, it could be regarded as him helping to clear one of Anya’s biggest relationship 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 Miss Carew back if she fails to
make the client happy. This company will never hire someone arrogant enough 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 disgusted glance, 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 waltzed into the restaurant.

“Welcome, Mister Lucas. Mister Jeremy and Miss Anya are waiting for you at the VIP table. Please allow 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. She smiled 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 for making you wait, Jeremy.”
