Since She Met Lucian novel Chapter 25

Amelia couldn't believe she was losing sleep over Lucian!

She knew very well that she and Lucian were just a fake couple but she still couldn't stop herself from worrying about him, thinking that he would get drunk at his dinner party.

Amelia buried herself in her pillow to try to get some sleep.

The next morning, 8 a.m. After Amelia got up, she thought that Lucian had come back. When she was finished preparing, she headed downstairs to which she was met by Lily's question, "Mrs. Amelia, have you talked to Mr. Lucian? He didn't come home last night."

It seemed that Lucian hadn't come home yet.

Amelia had to go to work now but no one was going to drive her and it would take her a while before she could hail a taxi. In this case, she was probably going to be late to work.

Suddenly, her phone started ringing. She assumed it would be Lucian but it wasn't. Instead, she heard an unfamiliar man's voice, "Mrs. Amelia, boss asked me to pick you up for work."

"Okay, I'll be right there." Amelia calmed herself down. She looked at the breakfast on the table and said to Lily apologetically, "Lily, the driver's already waiting outside. I don't have time for breakfast."

"It's okay. I'll pack your breakfast for you." Passing a glass of milk and toast to Amelia, Lily said with a sweet smile, "Bye, Mrs. Amelia. Have a good day at work."

The moment Amelia walked out the gate, she saw a brand new Lamborghini parked right in front.

"Mrs. Amelia, please." The man seemed to be in his 30s. He spoke and behaved respectfully as he gestured for Amelia to enter the car.

Amelia bowed and expressed her thanks.

"You're welcome, Mrs. Amelia. I'm Frank Chen, Mr. Lucian's driver. Starting today, I'll be driving you to and from work," Frank explained as he started the car.

'Frank?' She did recall Lucian mentioning him before.

Just the other day, Lucian had mentioned him when he was insisting that he ask his driver to send her.

"Did Lucian ask you to pick me up?" She still couldn't help but be worried since Lucian didn't come home last night.

As a way to comfort herself, she told herself that she was only worried because anyone would be. She was just being polite.

Refusing to believe that it was a sign that she was starting to have feelings for him, she shoved the thought at the back of her mind.

"Yes, Mr. Lucian called me early in the morning and asked me to pick you up at the SJ Garden," Frank answered simply.

While Amelia still didn't know why, she just let it be and didn't ask anything anymore.

When they arrived at the Zhan Group building, Amelia got out of the car. The minute she did, she felt as if someone was looking at her. She turned in horror to find a good number of people gaping at her as if she was a zoo monkey.

They seemed to be staring at the luxury car which made her feel annoyed. Just as she was starting to feel grateful for having a driver, she realized that it might actually be more of a problem than anything.

When she walked into the elevator, she heard several girls whispering to each other. "I thought Cinderella stories only existed in books. Who would've thought that someone would be so lucky? It's like she's living in a fairy tale!"

"Right?! Well, I guess that's how the world works. Women love rich men after all."

"Our CEO is so rich and handsome. He's so dreamy! If I ever marry someone like him, I'd gladly be a widow in my next life."

"You wish! Here we are."

The women tried to whisper but it seemed as if the more they talked, the more excited they became. They didn't stop talking until Amelia was left alone in the elevator.

When Amelia got on her floor, she stepped out and made her way to her office. However, Eric blocked her and said, "Mrs. Amelia, kindly wait for a moment please. The CEO is still inside for business."

"Yes?" Amelia frowned in confusion but as soon as she realized what Eric was talking about, she apologized, "I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking straight. Sure, I'll wait."

Initially, she thought that she was free to come and go in her office as she pleased. However, she quickly realized that she was sharing her office with Lucian so she had to consider him too. Since there was a lounge in the office, she figured Lucian was probably inside freshening up. He didn't come last night after all.

Ten minutes had passed and Lucian still hadn't come out. Amelia was starting to feel hungry as she held her milk and toast in her hands. She asked Eric, who was just standing next to her, "Do you want to eat?"

Glancing at the food Amelia was holding, Eric hastily waved his hand and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Amelia but I've already eaten."

She unpacked her food and started eating.

Worried that Lucian would catch her eating, she hurriedly scarfed down her food.

As soon as she finished eating, the door of the office flew open.

Amelia was utterly shocked by what she saw.

"Lucian, I'll see you tonight." The sexy woman planted a big fat kiss with her red lips on Lucian's face before leaving. She then whispered something into his ear, eyes sparkling. Her tight skirt accentuated her hour-glass figure, her slim waist, and her long legs that went on for days. Needless to say, she was practically every man's dream come true.

Amelia's brain went blank at the sight of this scene. The air around her seemed to close in on her and she suddenly felt as if her legs were turning into jelly. She felt as if she was going to fall any moment.

It was so strange. Why was Amelia feeling this way?
