Chapter 293 I Am Not His Mother
After leaving Noah's bedroom, Madeline left Golden Dome International and went straight to Elise's
shop.
However, Elise’s shop was full of customers and reporters since the show last night was a blast.
Elise was so busy that she had no time for Madeline.
“Oh, I’m so sorry…”
Suddenly, someone bumped Madeline from the back.
“Ms. Parker? You’re here to buy something?”
The person who bumped into Madeline was Mia Parker who worked for Lucas.
“Oh, I'm here to collect Mr. Lucas’ suit,” Mia said and forced a smile.
Lucas had been hard on Mia lately. He had tasks for her almost every day.
Hearing that, Madeline’s heart skipped a beat. She suddenly remembered Noah also had to attend the
charity dinner that night.
Noah told Madeline that he did not have a proper suit to wear for the event, and she promised to buy
him one. However, she totally forgot about it now.
“Ms. Madeline, are you here to take Mr. Quincy’s suit too? It’s too crowded inside. Why don't I help you
take it instead?” Mia liked Madeline. She offered her help when she saw the shop was packed with
people.
However, Madeline did not order anything from Elise. What should she tell Mia?
"I'll bring you in through the back door,” said Madeline as she took Mia into the shop from another door.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSoon, Mia found Lucas’ suit. After packing it, she saw Madeline standing alone in a daze. “Ms.
Madeline, have you found Mr. Quincy’s suit?” she asked.
“Mr. Quincy didn’t order any suit. How could she find it?” Elise came in for a short break. She took a
large gulp of water and glanced at Madeline.
Seeing Elise, Madeline’s eyes lit up. “Elise, my dear friend. Do you have any extra suits in the shop
now?”
“What do you think? Furthermore, do you think Mr. Quincy will wear a suit not custom-made for him?”
“Why not? It’s only a suit!” Madeline refuted.
Hearing that, Elise could not help tapping Madeline’s forehand with her finger. “Mr. Quincy is so unlucky
to have you.”
“Well, that’s my plan, and I’m glad that my plan works!”
Hearing that, Elise could not help rolling her eyes. She stuffed a suit into Madeline’s arm and pushed
her out impatiently. “Take it and leave. Don’t bother me again.”
“Elise, thank you! You’re the best!” Holding Elise in her arm, Madeline gave her a kiss.
“Luckily, I overheard your conversation. Otherwise, I don’t know how you are going to explain to him.”
“Why do I need to explain to him? I don’t owe him anything.”
“Really? Then give me back the suit!” Elise smirked and glanced at Madeline mischievously.
Madeline quickly ran away with the suit in her arms.
In front of Elise’s shop, Madeline saw Mia hailing for a taxi. She volunteered to give her a ride. “Hey,
Ms. Parker. Hop in. Let me give you a ride.”
“It’s okay. I can take a cab.” Mia did not want to bother Madeline. She was only a secretary. She did not
dare to let Madeline, who was Noah’s wife, give her a free ride.
“It’s not easy to get a taxi here. Your phone is ringing. I think Lucas is calling you asking for his suit?”
Madeline said, pointing at Mia’s phone.
In the end, Mia could not help but to get in the car. However, as soon as she answered the phone, she
heard Lucas's loud voice. “Where have you been? You’ve been missing for more than half an hour!”
“Mr. Lucas, I went to take your suit!”
“I’ve told you to let Jimmy do that. You’re my personal assistant. Do you know your job scope? You
have to stay with me all the time.”
Hearing that, Mia could not help but roll her eyes. She deliberately took the chance to sneak out for
some fresh air.
“Mr. Lucas, I’m so sorry, but I’m caught in a heavy traffic jam now. I’m afraid I can’t reach the office so
soon.”
"If I can't see you in half an hour, you can just…"
"Okay, I'll resign." Mia gritted her teeth and hung up the phone. She could not stand it anymore. Even if
Lucas was willing to pay double the salary, she would still quit the job.
I’m only his secretary, not his mother!
However, Lucas called her again. Nonetheless, Mia hung it up. It seemed that the more she rejected
Lucas’ call, the happier she was.
“Ms. Parker, are you okay?" Looking at Mia, Madeline was concerned.
“Yeah, I'm fine.” Mia chuckled.
“You’re not happy working for Lucas? I always thought…" Madeline remembered that Lucas was a
good boss. He never let Mia work overtime, nor took her to attend any social activities after work.
Not only that, Mia said he was a good boss before but what was going on now? They did not seem to

“Ms. Madeline, Mr. Lucas is not who you think he is. You have no idea how he tortured me these days.
I’m his secretary but it seems that he’s ordering me to do everything! I couldn’t even take a break. I’m
really pissed off with him now.”
The more Mia complained, the more aggrieved she became. Suddenly, she covered her face and burst
into tears.
Madeline did not expect that someone like Lucas could drive a normal secretary crazy.
Right then, Madeline received an incoming call. She hesitated for a moment and answered it.
“Madeline, is Ms. Parker with you?”
How did Lucas know I’m with Mia? Why is he calling me?
“Erm, yeah, but she is not feeling well now. She is crying.”
“Crying? Why is she crying?" Lucas asked in disbelief.
“Because… you want to fire her?”
"No, why would I fire her? I just want her to bring the suit to my house. Madeline, can you send her to
my house directly?”
After saying that, Lucas hung up the phone.
Hearing that, Madeline was confused. She stopped the car by the roadside and said, “Lucas called me.
He asked me to fetch you to his house.”
“Huh?” Mia could not help looking up. She thought she was going to lose her one-hundred-thousand-a-
month job soon. It was nearly impossible for her to find such a highly-paid job in other places.
Mia, what’re you thinking about? It’s not a big deal! How could you lose your job because of such trivial
things? Perhaps Mr. Lucas is able to buy a villa soon.
“Maybe he wants to apologize to you?” said Madeline. She could sense the unusual relationship
between them.
“Then, did he say he’s going to give me a raise?” Mia asked as she rubbed her nose, sniffling softly.
