The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 896
Corinne’s remark made Anya’s face frown. She could no longer maintain the demure smile on her face.
She only asked Corinne because Lucas did not divulge anything to Anya. However, Corinne seemed to be insinuating that
Anya had fallen out of favor with Lucas.
Anya did not want to let Corinne get away with mocking her, so she replied calmly, “Yeah, you’re right. I’ll ask Lucas later!”
Anya looked out the car window and gritted her teeth with a vicious expression.
‘We’ve arrived, Corinne. I’m going up to deliver food to my brother now. Do you want to come with me?”
Corinne leaned back lazily and closed her eyes disinterestedly. “No, I can wait here for you until you’re done. But you should
hurry up because I’m not feeling very patient today.”
Anya did not insist. She was just offering out of politeness, anyway. “Okay. Wait here for me, and don’t go anywhere! I have
something else to tell you later. It’s about Jeremy!”
Corinne answered insipidly and showed little interest.
Anya glared at her casually before getting out of the car. She carried her lunch box and made her way to the Rivera Group
building.
At the door of the president’s office, Edmund stopped Anya and said, “Why are you here, Miss Anya? Didn’t Mister Lucas tell
you not to go to so much trouble to bring him food?”
“It’s no trouble!” Anya shook her head. “I don’t have much to do at home, and Lucas is always so busy with work. I’m worried
that he doesn’t eat his meals on time. Could you go in and tell him that I brought him his favorite stir-fries today? It’d be great
if he could eat them while they’re still warm!”
Edmund frowned and reached out for the lunch box. “I’ll help you pass it to him once he’s done with work.”
Anya was not prepared to just hand it over like that. She looked at Edmund with a bright yet innocent look and said, “Is he so
busy that he doesn’t even have time for me? He hasn’t been home for several days now, and I miss him terribly...”
Edmund felt conflicted. Apart from going to the hospital instead of going home.
Lucas did so mainly to avoid Anya as he was not interested to hear her explanations.
“Mister Lucas is unfortunately very busy at work these past couple of days. He has to clock in extra hours quite frequently.
But you don’t have to worry about him, though. I’ll make sure to remind him to eat on time. Just pass the food to me.”

Anya felt like crying; she did not believe Edmund one bit. “I know it was wrong for me to lie to Lucas before, and I also know
that I’ve crossed the line when I schemed against Corinne to win Jeremy’s heart. I’ve turned over a new leaf, I promise! I
even politely invited Corinne into the car when I came across her on the road earlier. I planned to give her a ride, and I even
told the driver to send her home! I’m making an effort to correct my mistakes! Why is Lucas still so reluctant to see me?”
Edmund’s expression changed subtly. “Are you saying that Miss Corinne is here, too?”
Anya wanted to prove to Edmund that she had reflected on her mistakes and was actively trying to correct them. Through
that, she hoped that Edmund would put in a good word to her brother.
That was partly why she mentioned her ‘kindness’ in sending Corinne back home.
Edmund, however, seemed to have focused on another thing completely. He seemed more interested to confirm that Corinne
was there!
Anya felt a little suspicious, but she nodded anyway. “Yes. I saw her walking on the side of the road earlier, so I invited her to
hop in so I could give her a ride. Please let me meet Lucas, Edmund. I’ll leave as soon as I meet him. Corinne is waiting for
me to send her home!”
