Since She Met Lucian novel Chapter 20

Although Amelia didn't really want to work in the Zhan Group, she still got up early the following morning.

"Mrs. Amelia, you're up," Lily commented. She was standing by the stairway, wearing a floral apron as if she was waiting for Amelia.

Amelia nodded awkwardly and went downstairs. When she looked around the living room, she didn't see Lucian. 'Is he still sleeping? Does he think I'm going to be late?'

"Tut, tut, nice. You'd look better in this dress." Amelia suddenly heard Lucian's voice.

She blushed and glanced at her dress uncomfortably and then glared at Lucian with dissatisfaction.

Amelia did as she was told by Lucian last night. She wore the clothes that Lucian had deemed fit for work. The dress fit her well but it was tight which made her feel uncomfortable.

The dress accentuated her figure which made her look quite feminine.

Lucian admired Amelia as he eyed her from head to toe.

"Don't frown like that, Amelia. You're working for the Zhan Group, not some dump!" After this, Lucian put on his suit which showed off his handsomeness quite well. Amelia found herself getting lost in Lucian's voice. By the time she came back to her senses, Lucian was already seated at the table for breakfast. He turned to Lily and said in a low voice, "Please ask Mrs. Amelia to have breakfast with me."

Lily walked toward Amelia and said in a small voice, "Mrs. Amelia, Mr. Lucian is requesting that you have breakfast with him."

Amelia wanted to say that she really wasn't in the mood but then she recalled that she was going to have to sit in the car with Lucian on the way to work so she reluctantly took a seat across from Lucian.

"Most of the employees at the Zhan Group are probably going to recognize you but they're not going to give you any special treatment just because you're my wife," Lucian said blankly. They were already in the car and Lucian was driving.

Amelia sneered to herself, 'Who would want that?' She never really thought that she'd be working in the Zhan Group.

"Last night, your father called and said that he was recovering pretty well. He asked if you could come visit him when you have the time," Lucian said flatly. However, there was something about his tone that seemed strange.

Amelia was taken aback. She asked slowly, "Is my father going to get sick again?"

"At least his condition is under control now. He can go to the company to deal with his business and he doesn't need to stay at home all day long," Lucian explained then he added, "He wants to strike a deal with the Zhan Group but I told him that it's going to depend on how you perform at your new job."

Lucian's face was emotionless.

The anger was ignited in Amelia's gentle eyes. She asked rather angrily, "Lucian, what do you think I am?"

Vernon's company was very small. There was no way a company as huge as Zhan Group would go into business with a company as small as Vernon's. While Amelia had no idea what Vernon was up to, she was still mad at Lucian.

They'd only agreed to the fake marriage and that was it! Nothing more and nothing less.

"I'll figure it out. You're my wife now after all." With an evil smile playing in his lips, Lucian looked straight ahead, ignoring the angry Amelia.

As soon as they arrived at the Zhan Group, Amelia was shocked by the grandiosity of the Zhan building.

It towered into the sky!

"It's... Does the Zhan Group own the entirety of this?" There had to be at least 20 floors to the building. "Zhan Group" was written across the humongous facade of it. Amelia's neck hurt just from trying to look up. Still, she grew curious as she'd never seen something like this before. It was amazing.

Lucian nodded calmly and added, "This is the company's headquarters. We have other branches in other cities."

"There're more..." Amelia opened her eyes wide and bit her lower lip. She was still in disbelief.

She looked lovely as she gazed at the building, mouth agape.

"Good morning, Mr. Lucian!" His assistant, Eric, walked quickly toward them and bowed to them. Then, he saw Amelia behind Lucian and greeted politely, "Nice to meet you, Mrs. Amelia."

"No... You're welcome." She was going to tell Eric not to call her Mrs. Amelia but when she glanced at Lucian, she decided against it and just waved her hand awkwardly.

"Eric, from now on, you can call her by her name especially during work. She's just going to be a regular employee of the Zhan Group. She's responsible for receiving clients and... Bringing me tea and water or maybe some snacks."

"Bring you water and snacks?" Amelia repeated in surprise as she looked up at Lucian. She didn't expect that to be part of her job description.

"Yes," Lucian confirmed, a hint of teasing flashing across his eyes.

"All right." Upon giving it more thought, Amelia decided it wasn't a big deal. At least, she was going to be making her own money now. If Lucian had given her a higher position, she didn't know if she could face Fannie especially after everything that she'd said to her last time.

"I didn't expect you to be able to adjust so quickly. Now I'm looking forward to seeing how you're going to perform," Lucian sneered. His tone was provocative as if he didn't believe that Amelia would deliver.

Eric took Amelia to report to the human resources department then he toured her around the office and gave her some reminders about what to do and not to do.
