Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1071

"I don't have parents. They're dead," Raeleigh answered. Lamarre frowned. "You're lying."

Raeleigh froze for a moment and became nervous. She didn't expect Lamarre to know when she was lying.

Raeleigh lowered her head and panicked. "I..."

"Is there anyone else at home?" Lamarre pressed on, and Raeleigh replied, "My Grandma."

Lamarre said, "Are you hiding something?"

Raeleigh would never tell an outsider about herself, but she nodded. She looked up at Lamarre, who then said, "It's fine if you can't say it."

Raeleigh breathed a sigh of relief. Lamarre was a strange person.

"I hope you won't get angry." Raeleigh stood up from the chair. It was the first time someone had exposed her lie, and she did not know what to do.

Lamarre looked up at the frightened girl in front of him. He was depressed. He was not a big bad wolf and could just see through people's thoughts. She seemed so afraid, as if she would run out of the room.

Lamarre hoped that he did not scare her away. As the saying went, there were more wolves than meat. Right then, the whole company was envious of her. If he frightened her off, then the girl would not want him as her teacher. By then, Jepherson would earn himself a living treasure. Furthermore, Jenna and her son were not easy to deal with, that was just the way it was.

"I didn't say anything. Why are you standing up? Sit down. I'm satisfied with your design, but I'm a little dissatisfied with your attitude."

Lamarre initially wanted to tell her that they could talk about it, but Raeleigh misunderstood that he was talking about her lie. She became even more nervous and couldn't calm down at all.

"I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to lie to you. My situation is a little special. Previously, I..."

Raeleigh could not say the word 'orphan' no matter how hard she tried. Then, she corrected herself and said, "I'm sorry. I need some air."

Raeleigh intended to leave. Seeing that Raeleigh was about to leave, Lamarre suddenly shouted, "Stop."

Raeleigh stopped at once, not daring to turn around.

Lamarre was pissed. What would he have done if she escaped from his grasp?

Lamarre made a prompt decision and said, "I'll definitely take you as my apprentice. Jenna and Jepherson should be out of the way. Now that you're here, you can't leave. You'd better come back."

Raeleigh paused for a moment, turned around, and said to Lamarre, "What are you..."

"Sit down. From today onwards, you're my apprentice. The press conference will be held soon. You should publish a few designs in the meantime. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you don't strike when the iron is hot, then it'll be difficult for you to succeed in the future." Lamarre had already thought about it. Since she was his apprentice, he would give the best advice to her.

Raeleigh thought for a moment and said, "But Jepherson... I mean, Mr. Richards told me that if I stay in the company, then I can't showcase my accomplishments unless I leave the company after graduation and redesign a new project. Only then would it belong to me. All my previous works are the company's properties."

Raeleigh remembered his exact words.

Lamarre frowned. "Your relationship with Jepherson is a bit unusual, isn't it?"
