Since She Met Lucian novel Chapter 41

"Oh my God! What is he doing?" the girl behind asked anxiously. Her screaming only affirmed Amelia's suspicions.

The atmosphere was thick with tension. Edmund had dropped a bomb. Needless to say, Amelia was utterly shocked out of her wits. As she directed her gaze to the stage, her mind went to what had just happened earlier...

On the stage, Nicholas and Lucian were visibly shocked. They looked at Edmund in surprise.

"Nicholas, Lucian, I decided this without consulting either of you. No need to blame me. This had to happen sooner or later." Edmund gave an apologetic look to Lucian and then said to all the guests, "Have a good night!"

After a warm round of applause from the audience, the waiter asked Amelia to head to the dining room upstairs.

After hesitating for a while, Amelia smiled bashfully as she let herself be led by the waiter upstairs.

The waiter began serving food much to Amelia's disinterest as Edmund's words were still ringing in her head.

When she first met with Lucian's parents, she had found out that Lucian and Shelly were engaged. At that time, she didn't think much of it.

She felt as if she had destroyed an engagement when she found out about this.

"Hello, are you Miss Amelia?" All of a sudden, a man in a black suit stood in front of her and asked her politely.

Quickly gathering herself, she nodded and said, "Yes, I'm Amelia."

"I'm Mr. An's assistant. Mr. An would like to meet you." Mr. An.. Edmund An?

She then followed the man out of the dining area.

The man led Amelia to the end of the corridor. He stopped in front of what seemed like a private room and knocked on the door.

"Come in, please." A male voice came from inside the room. It wasn't Edmund so it had to be someone else.

The door was opened. Amelia looked up and was stunned when she saw the man inside the room.

He looked very familiar yet she couldn't quite figure out yet why.

The man was wearing a knitted sweater over a white shirt. He looked about the same age as Lucian. He grinned when he saw Amelia.

It was a warm smile.

Amelia couldn't shake off the feeling that she knew who this man was but she just couldn't remember his name.

"Hey, long time no see, Amelia," the man said with much ease as he pulled out a chair. "Please have a seat."

Amelia was both surprised and confused.

It seemed that they were quite familiar with each other. But why couldn't she remember him?

"You're probably wondering who I am." The man sat across from Amelia and looked at her with a mysterious smile on his face.

As she gazed back at him, she tried to rack her mind but she came up with nothing—she still couldn't figure out who he was.

Then, out of curiosity, Amelia asked, "Are you sure you know me? Because I don't think I know you."

Her eyes were filled with innocence as the man seemed upset.

However, he was quickly able to recover and immediately put on a smile. "Jonny An," he explained, "Your senior and your pen pal. I've been writing you letters for about three years now."

"Jonny..." Amelia repeated. "Yes, I remember! You used to give me advice and you even helped me move on after my mother died..."

Upon seeing her excitement, his face lit up.

"I'm sorry. I disturbed you in the middle of your dinner. Well, we can eat now," Jonny said with a smile as he helped Amelia put some food in her bowl.

She was a little embarrassed. "I can do it myself, Jonny."

She grabbed her bowl, a stiff smile on her face.

Jonny paused for the slightest second before smiling in response. "You're right. You're probably used to Lucian helping you anyway."

Amelia's hands, which were holding her chopsticks, suddenly trembled upon the mention of Lucian's name. Grief filled her eyes at once.

Upon noticing her silence, something seemed to click in his head. He smiled and said, "Amelia, are you uncomfortable because of what my dad just announced?"

Amelia was stunned—how did he know what she was thinking? Was it that obvious?
