Since She Met Lucian novel Chapter 115

"A former friend of mine gave me a ride when we met on the road," Amelia explained as her cheeks turned red.

"It’s a huge advantage when a woman has a gorgeous face. If he’s still single, you could consider it!" Carlotta teased her on purpose.

Amelia opened the door of the shop widely and invited her in.

Seeing Amelia’s actions, Carlotta could not stop herself from laughing. "You’re so naughty."

Prior to one o’clock in the afternoon, Amelia arrived in the shop. The moment she was about to clean up the bar counter, Carlotta suddenly asked her, "Amelia, was that handsome young man your ex-husband?"

After hearing those words, Amelia’s hand trembled when she held the glass. If she had not held it tightly, the glass probably turned into scattered broken pieces on the ground.

In front of Carlotta, Lucian referred himself as "ex-husband". If Amelia denied she would be lying to Carlotta, so she just moved her head and nodded.

After that, Carlotta stopped her hands from caring for the potted plants. Then she visited the bar counter and curiously asked, "How did you do that? Why are willing to divorce such a handsome husband?"

Shocked by Carlotta’s words, Amelia remained frozen. She could not even utter a single word.

How did her heart manage to let go an excellent husband?

"I am sure he is living the time of his life. He deserves to be happy," she answered uneasily, it felt like a stab in her heart.

"But I saw it in your eyes, you really love him." Carlotta laid her eyes on Amelia, as if she could read her mind.

Trying to avoid the conversation, Amelia touched her face and forced a smile. "That’s what you see? I don’t think so. Maybe you need glasses."

Emptiness radiated in her eyes. She mocked herself for putting the act she made.

"I experienced something before, so don’t be too vague with me. You can share anything and I’ll listen without judgment. Tell me what happened." Carlotta was determined to dig out secrets of the past.

Finding a way to end the conversation, Amelia looked up at the clock and noticed there was still a lot of time left on her duty. There was no escape. She let out a deep breath and said, "Unlike other relationships, we don’t have an emotional foundation. Besides, he has his own life now. I am happy for him."

"Although I’m already 40 years old, I am updated about the news on the internet. I have read the news about your divorce with Lucian, some people cursed you because of it. I did not know you personally before, due to that I believed that you were like what they said. But after meeting you, I found out that they were wrong about you. I think there must be some reason for your decision right?" Carlotta said. Carlotta had known from Lucian, she asked Amelia again because she wanted to know Amelia’s real feelings towards Lucian.

In order to ensure Amelia’s safety, Lucian spent a huge amount of money to own the shop. In addition, he asked Carlotta to find a suitable reason to shorten Amelia’s working time. For a night shift, he also hired a waiter.

"Carlotta, things were done. I don’t want to talk about the past anymore because it won’t change anything." Amelia looked embarrassed and forced herself to smile.

"Alright, I were done talking about it, I won’t even dare to mention it. But promise me, you’ll be happy in the future because a woman who shines from within is the most beautiful!" Carlotta tried to uplift her mood.

Glancing towards Carlotta’s optimistic face, a curve suddenly formed on Amelia’s face and she said, "I hope I can have your positive thinking."

"You are the sweetest!" Carlotta smiled. Suddenly, she remembered something important. She immediately said, "By the way, Amelia, I need to discuss something with you."

"Carlotta, just say it. There won’t be any problem as long as I can do it."

"Okay, here's the thing. I have so many shops at hand, I’m getting tired every time I personally manage them. I want to sell this shop, but I worked hard for it for so many years it has a unique value for me. I really hope the person who’s going to take over it knows its value well. Can you help me take care of it?" Carlotta was anxious about how she delivered things. If she said it too directly, it would have provoked suspicion of Amelia. Moreover, Lucian specially told her to keep it as a secret, so she tried her best to eliminate doubts in Amelia’s heart.

After hearing those words, Amelia was stunned. She moved her eyes around the shop and felt terrible.

Although she had only worked in this shop for a short time, she still felt the unique ambiance of if like Carlotta said. If the new owner did not understand it, the style of the shop would probably change.

"Carlotta, are you in a hurry to sell it?" Amelia wanted to buy the shop, however, she did not have enough money. Due to frustration, she frowned and felt bad.

Seeing Amelia’s reaction, Carlotta knew what she was thinking. She tried to comfort her, she smiled and said, "Don’t worry. If you are interested, you can manage it for a period of time. If the revenue is huge, I can give it to you."

Amelia could not contain her excitement. But on second thought, it did not change the fact that her funds were not enough to buy the shop.

"This shop is worth at least 150000 dollars. The location is great for business since it's close to a school. However, the monthly rent is more than 10000 dollars," Amelia critically analyzed.

"According to your work performance these days, I believe you are equipped with the necessary skills to supervise this shop." Carlotta recognized her hard work.

The shop was designed in a literary style. In addition, students were attracted because of its campus-like atmosphere. Thus, on weekend the shop was filled with customers, most of them were students.
