Chapter 737 Changing Fate
However, Lucas‘ fate began to change after he met Wynter. This was something Yvette, who believed she knew everything, still had no clue about.
When Wynter dialed Lucas‘ number, he was packing up in his office.
He was about to leave and wanted to take one last look at the place.
His secretary, Juan Murphy, held a phone as he stood outside.
With his recent promotion, there were even more people seeking his favor. Juan himself hoped to follow Lucas to Kingbourne so that his career prospects could be boosted.
He was determined to discuss this matter thoroughly with Lucas when the latter finished his work.
As a result, when taking calls, Juan didn’t hide his thoughts. He said directly, “Mr. Keller is in a meeting right now and can’t take calls. If you have a message, I can take a note.”

Wynter raised an eyebrow when she noticed that Lucas had a new secretary. “May I know when the
meeting will end?”
Juan frowned. “No.” He even wondered why this lady was so insensible.
Noticing his attitude, Wynter smirked and said sarcastically, “Is Mr. Keller aware that his secretary acts like a bigger deal than him?”
“What do you mean by that?” Juan was furious at her words. No one had ever spoken to him this way. People usually sought his favor.
Unfazed, Wynter continued, “I mean, a secretary like you should be replaced before you cause any real problems.”
“How dare you? Do you know the consequences of disrespecting a public official?”
Juan’s outburst finally drew Lucas out of his office. “Who’s on the phone?”
“Mr. Keller,” Juan replied dismissively, “it’s just some arrogant young lady. I think she’s-”
“Give me the phone.” Hearing the word “young lady“, Lucas quickly took the phone. “Wynter, is that you?”
Wynter’s tone remained unchanged. “Yes, it’s me. I have a case I’d like to give you as a gift to welcome you back to Kingbourne.”
Lucas discerned the indifference in her tone. Gently, he called out, “Juan.”
Juan’s face turned pale.
He was surprised that Lucas knew the arrogant young lady on the line. And from his tone, it sounded like they were quite close.
It wasn’t mentioned at all during the handover that Lucas had such a close relationship with a woman.

Realizing how rude he was earlier, Juan said, “Yes, Mr. Keller. It was just a misunderstanding. I had no idea about the relationship between you two. If I had known-”
*Pack up your things and return to your previous position.” Lucas interrupted. “You’re not suitable to continue as my secretary.”
Juan’s face drained of color instantly. He wanted to plead but couldn’t find the words under Lucas‘ gaze.
He could already picture his future.
Lucas didn’t have to do much. Just sending him back to his previous position was punishment enough.
Previously, he had boasted about following Lucas to Kingbourne and looked down on many people. If they found out he was no longer the secretary, they’d mock him endlessly.
Wynter wasn’t surprised by Lucas‘ decision.
If Lucas had issues with personnel management, Jackson wouldn’t have taken him as an apprentice or frequently praised him to her.
Wynter had natural respect for someone like Jackson, who devoted himself to the country.
