The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 466
“Here’s your coffee, Mister Lucas.” Corinne knocked on the door before she entered, then she put the coffee she just made down
in front of Lucas.
“Mm-hmm.” Lucas was going through a document carefully, so he just hummed in response. Without even looking up at all, he
reached out to grab the coffee and brought it to his lips for a sip. All while focusing on his document.
At that moment, Rosie was sitting on the couch in the reception area of his office. She was smiling and looking at Lucas with
anticipation. As soon as Lucas had a sip of that heavily sweetened coffee, he would certainly get angry and reprimand Corinne.
However, after a sip, Lucas did not have any unusual reaction at all. Everything was just as usual.
What was going on?
Rosie frowned. The look of anticipation gradually turned to disappointment. Why did Lucas not react at all? Could it be that he
changed his preference? That was impossible!
Corinne, on the other hand, was standing next to Lucas’s desk while holding the tray. She was sneaking a peek at the photo in
the frame on his desk.
Lucas had another sip of his coffee. He then realized his new secretary was still standing next to him. He turned to look at her
and said, “Why are you still standing here? Get out!”
Corinne looked away from the photo frame very naturally and nodded her head a little. “Alright, Mister Lucas.”
She then walked toward the reception area while carrying the tray. After she bent over to put the remaining cup of coffee on the
coffee table, she smiled and said, “Have a cup of coffee too, Miss Rosie.”
“Thank you.” Rosie let out a burst of forced laughter as she could not be impolite in front of Lucas. However, she kept glaring at
Corinne. She then questions Corinne softly, “Didn’t you add sugar and creamer to Lucas’s coffee?”
Corinne answered softly as well, “No, I didn’t.”
Rosie gritted her teeth. “Why not? I’ve already told you about Lucas’s preference!”

Corinne smiled. “Miss Rosie, you can’t think that I’ll believe the information given to me by a person who’s hostile against me,
right?”
Rosie was speechless. She gritted her teeth as she was very upset, but she could not be helped.
Corinne was more cunning than anybody else, so she was not easy to mess with. Rosie should have expected that Corinne
would not fall into the trap so easily! How annoying!
Seeing that Rosie looked so upset, Corinne kindly explained to her, “Miss Rosie, do you know why I brought two cups of coffee
in?”
Rose frowned while looking at her, unable to understand what she meant.
Corinne smiled happily. “Of the two coffees, I added sugar and creamer to one, like you’ve told me to, and I kept the other
without sugar and creamer. It’s not like I didn’t believe you at all. Just in case you were being nice by telling the truth, but I
misunderstood you, I could swap the cups in time to placate Mister Lucas after he drank a coffee that was not to his taste. It’s
just a pity that a leopard can’t change its spot, and you still had no good intentions. So enjoy this cup of heavily sweetened
coffee yourself, Miss Rosie!”
Rosie was already so angry that was at a loss for words.
Corinne straightened her back and smiled at her once again. At the same time, she said loudly, “Enjoy, Miss Rosie. If you need
another cup, you can call me anytime.”
Upon saying that, she turned and left the office in big strides.
How dare Corinne say that she was a leopard who could not change her spots? Rosie was so pissed off, she clenched her fists
tight and dug her fingertips into her palms. Unfortunately, she could not lash out at Corinne because she was in Lucas’s office.
“Hold on.” Lucas suddenly called out to Corinne.
Corrinne stopped in her tracks, then she turned to look at Lucas. “Is there anything else I can do for you, Mister Lucas?”
Lucas threw a file on his desk. “Translate this document to Aburian and email it to people in Abura!”
“Alright, Mister Lucas.” Corinne immediately picked up the file, then dutifully went out to work.

Rosie did not get her wish of seeing Corinne being reprimanded by Lucas, but she was indirectly scolded by Corinne; so she
was extremely unhappy.
