Chapter 896

Ashlynn tied the necktie on and said, “I can be your assistant, but no one in the office can know who I am and you can’t give me any privilege.”

Corentin lifted her chin. “Any other woman would kill for me to make them an exception and you the only one who doesn’t want me to. I like it though.” He pinched her on the thigh.

She hid her legs under the blanket and muttered, “I’m not going today. I’m tired. I want to rest.”

“If you can go to work today, I would begin to doubt my ‘ capability‘“, he said evilly, before getting up to leave.

After resting for a day, Ashlynn went to the office for an interview. There were multiple rounds of interviews and they were all challenging as she could only rely on her own ability.

She first headed to the human resources department, before going to the secretarial department. The person who interviewed her was Corentin’s secretary, Evan Payne, who was going to be her direct supervisor.

“The human resource department sent over three resumes including yours and we’ve decided to offer you this job. You’ve been an assistant before in Luton, so I hope you won’t disappoint me,” Evan said while flipping through her resume.

“I will work hard,” Ashlynn said.

He set the resume down and studied Ashlynn. “The Lloyd Group is an empire and plenty of people could only dream of working here, so consider yourself lucky. Your probation lasts for one month and you will need to satisfy Mr. Lloyd, so remember to always be careful and sharp by his side.”

“I understand.” She felt no pressure in pleasing Corentin.

“One last thing. Do not do anything in front of Mr. Lloyd that is not related to work.”

Ashlynn instantly understood his hidden message, ‘Do not dream of seducing Corentin‘.

She could understand why Evan would remind her of this, as she assumed that someone must have tried in the past and ended up facing horrible consequences.

“Mr. Payne, may I ask you something?”

“Sure.”

“Have you been Core – Mr. Lloyd’s secretary for years?”

“It’s been eight years.”

“How is he in person?”

Evan felt that she was asking too many questions and wondered if she was concerned that Corentin was hard to please. “Don’t worry. So long as you perform your duties as you are told, Mr. Lloyd is rather forgiving. This document contains all his habits and things to look out for. Memorize these and you are good to go.”

She accepted the file and realized there was a list of pages. She glanced through it, realizing that while the habits Corentin favored matched his character, the things he disliked were a complete opposite of what she knew about Salvatore.

For example, it was stated that Corentin did not smoke, but she had never seen Salvatore without a cigarette between his lips.

Evan and Ashlynn were about to step out of the office when they heard noises and turned around to fill a pile of documents on the desk falling onto the ground.

Corentin remained standing and focused on the document in his hand as though he had not noticed it.

Evan shot Ashlynn a look and she approached the desk wordlessly to gather the documents, while Evan walked out of the office.

She picked up all the documents and set them down, when Corentin said, “They weren’t placed there.”

She glanced at the spot where she set the documents down and said confidently, “Mr. Lloyd, I’ve been paying attention to the spots where documents, laptops and pens are placed here since I came in. I don’t think it’s wrong.”

He reached one hand out to grab her by the chin to lift it until their eyes met. “Are you second–guessing my command?”

Ashlynn knew that he was teasing her and said, “You dropped out from secondary school, so what’s wrong about second–guessing you? Can you even speak French?”

“I can.”

“Say something, then.”

He leaned closer to her ears and whispered, “Va te faire foutre.”

She pursed her lips with a dark expression.
