The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 460
Ten years?
Abura’s mineral resources were highly sought after by both domestic and foreign companies, and plenty of corporations from
powerful countries were eyeing this collaboration. That was why the person in charge from Abura was always been fearless and
arrogant. He was also famously difficult to manage.
At first, the Rivera Group only wanted to get a deal with Abura to collaborate for the next five years. However, the crown prince of
Abura did not agree. He said he would only agree to sign for three years at most, and the terms of collaboration would be
renegotiated after three years.
Even if it was just a three-year collaboration, it was a deal that was hard to finalize. Corinne was gone over for an hour, yet she
got a deal for a ten-year collaboration. Lucas was slightly dazed, and he looked a little surprised. “She could speak Aburian?”
Edmund answered with great certainty, “Yes, she’s very fluent, and she seems to be humorous. The person in charge from
Abura was so amused that he kept bursting into laughter! Sir, Miss Corinne wants me to ask you what time she can report to
work tomorrow.”
Lucas gave it a thought while squinting. “Tell her to come to the company tomorrow morning. Once the ten-year contract for us to
collaborate with Abura is officially signed, she can then officially come on board.”
“Yes, sir!” replied Edmund.
At first, Edmund had the least faith in Corinne, but he seemed to have no opinions about her joining the company anymore.
After he hung up the call, Lucas-who always looked unfazed-still had a sense of disbelief on his face.
Seeing that, Anya had a faint sense of foreboding. She asked, “Lucas, who did you say is coming onboard? You’re not hiring
Corinne as your secretary, right?
Regaining his senses, Lucas nodded calmly and said, “She seemed to be quite capable. If she’s competent, then I can indeed
hire her.”
Since Corinne closed the deal with Abura, then once the contract was signed, it would be the safest for her to manage the follow-
ups; only then would there be no concern on Abura’s end.

Anya did not expect that Corinne would be hired by Lucas. She secretly started to have her guard up, but she smiled very
understandingly instead. “Lucas, Corinne is indeed a very clever girl. With her as your secretary, she certainly would be of great
help to you! But, I know I shouldn’t get involved with the company’s affairs, but I still want to give you a little reminder. Corinne’s
great, but she has a bad temper. In terms of her character, she’s not suitable to be a secretary, who needs to be highly
compliant. You should consider it carefully!”
Lucas rubbed Anya’s head dotingly. “Mm-hmm. I know what I’m doing. Thank you for worrying about me!”
He knew what his precious sister was concerned about. Corinne’s appearance made Anya- who was unable to capture Jeremy’s
heart, to begin with-feel insecure.
Even if Lucas hired Corinne, it would be because of her competence. However, putting Corinne under his nose would make it
convenient for him to keep an eye on her for Anya and not let her go wandering in front of Jeremy again!
Seeing that Lucas had no intention to change his mind, Anya had no choice but to continue faking a smile. “Alright, then.”
Lucas sat up straight and took a sip of water. “Anya, how’s the child doing?”
Anya was stunned and feeling sheepish. “W-what child?”
Lucas glared at her while pretending to be serious. “The child you and Jeremy adopted abroad! What’s the matter? How much
longer do you plan on hiding it from me?”
Knowing that she could not hide it anymore, Anya said pitifully, “You already know about it?”
Lucas sneered. “You’ve been going out early and coming home late every day for the past month, being occupied by something.
How could I not be worried? I found out after asking Edmund to look into your tracks for the past month.”
Anya was afraid Lucas would reprimand her, so she explained pitifully with tears in her eyes, Lucas, you know my biggest wish
since childhood was to marry the man I love, have lots of children with him, and live happily together as a family.”
