Lucas squinted his eyes and sneered indifferently. “You need to attend an event with me tomorrow, so be prepared in advance to dress formally.”

Corinne was dazed. What event?

She then recalled when they were in the ward earlier, Lucas said that Corinne was his partner for tomorrow to brush Anya and Rosie off. The event should be Anya’s aunt’s birthday party as she mentioned before.

She was only cooperating with her boss at that time. She did not expect that Lucas was truly planning to take her to the party!

Corinne was a little torn. She never liked attending that sort of fancy party. However, she thought that since Lucas’s aunt was a senior member of the Riveras, she should know more about the things that happened in the family in the past. Therefore, she might be able to inquire about her mother if she got in contact with her.

After giving it a thought, she turned her head to ask, “Mister Lucas, may I know if I would meet Jeremy at the event tomorrow?”

Lucas looked up at her, feeling intrigued. It was after falling silent for a moment that he said, “No. The Holdens never attended parties held by the Riveras.” S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

He was right. The Holdens and the Riveras conflicted so they probably would not attend events held by the other family’s relatives.

Also, Jeremy said at the hospital that he was catching a flight, so he probably was on a business trip and would not return so soon.

Upon receiving the ideal answer, Corinne smiled professionally and said, “Alright, Mister Lucas. I’ll prepare formal wear for tomorrow and attend the event with you.”

Lucas was resting his eyes and said nothing.

The business hours for the Rivera Group ended at five in the evening, but Corinne only left the office at six.

After leaving the Rivera Group’s building, Corinne strolled for a distance, then she naturally walked into a quiet alley.

A black MPV was parked along the alley. Corinne walked straight to it, opened the door, and got in.

Xante was focused on typing away on her laptop’s keyboard in the car. Hearing that somebody got in the car, she turned her head to the side. Then, the cool and distant expression on her face was immediately replaced by a gentle and respectful smile. “You’ve finally got off work, boss.”

Corinne was tired. She leaned against the back of the seat and tilted her head to lean on Xante’s shoulder lazily.

Aaron was sitting in the front passenger seat. He looked at his watch, then turned around to complain,” You just got off work at this hour? How inhumane of the Rivera Group!”

Taking a break while leaning on Xanter’s shoulder, Corinne said with a lazy voice, “It’s not like that. The majority of the employees at the Rivera Group get off work at five in the evening on the dot. But Lucas stayed back to work overtime. As his secretary, I can’t leave before him.”

Xante raised her hand and rubbed Corinne’s shoulder as she felt sorry for her. “You insisted on joining the

Rivera Group and serving him, but I can’t stand seeing how tiring it is for you.”

Corinne kept yawning. “It’s just for a period. It’s no big deal. If I can’t even endure this bit of suffering, I wouldn’t have been able to grow up!”

Xante sighed. “But you’re pregnant now. You shouldn’t overwork yourself!”

Corinne rubbed her belly. “My child is going like me, not afraid of adversity and getting tired. It’s fine. Oh yes, Xante. Remember to lend me a formal dress tomorrow!”
