Since She Met Lucian novel Chapter 48

There possibly couldn't be a person in the world who wanted to be deceived. In this case, it was really difficult for Lucian to give a proper response.

The only thing Amelia could do was to hope that Lucian would feel better tomorrow.

The next morning, Amelia got up a lot later than usual. Perhaps it was because of the soft patter of the rain outside. She got out of bed and hurriedly got dressed before running downstairs, thinking that Lucian had already left. Upon reaching the kitchen, she saw that Lucian was still there, leisurely having his coffee. He cast her a cold glance before drawing his attention back to the newspaper in his hand.

'Huh... He seems to be relaxed even though I woke up late,' Amelia thought.

"Mrs. Amelia, come here to have breakfast," Lily greeted when she saw Amelia come down the stairs.

Slowly, Amelia went to the table and sat down. 'I thought that Lucian would say something about how I woke up late,' she thought since she was twenty minutes late. But she puzzled as she looked at Lucian who still hadn't said a single thing to her.

After carefully looking at Lucian, Amelia looked at the food on the table. Her stomach rumbled, and soon could no longer resist the temptation of the delicious food in front of her. One bite after the other, Amelia barely chewed on the food she swallowed.

She thought that it was likely that Lucian would tell her to hurry up as soon as she started to eat.

Not to mention that she would still have to put on her shoes. Amelia took a gulp of water to help push down the food in her throat.

Just when she was about to finish her meal, she saw Lucian walk over slowly and help himself to some food.

Furrowing her brows, Amelia looked at the clock and saw that they only had ten minutes left. "Aren't we going to be late?" Amelia asked Lucian anxiously.

'Why is he so relaxed? He's always been so uptight about being punctual,' she wondered. With ten minutes left to spare, Lucian was going to be late for work at this rate. He took his time eating, chewing his food slowly and leisurely.

Lucian didn't answer Amelia nor did he even look up at her.

Not willing to take any chances, Amelia went to the hallway and put on her shoes. 'He might suddenly dart off before I even get to put my shoes on,' she scoffed in her mind.

When Lucian had finished eating, he and Amelia went over to the garage. However, just when Amelia was about to get in, Lucian waved his hand at her to stop. "You already have a car of your own," he said coldly, "I no longer need to drive you around, right?"

"Okay," Amelia said.

Although her tone was calm, her heart was full of helplessness.

After one, last cold glance, Lucian got in the car and drove away.

When the car was out of her sight, Amelia let out a long, deep sigh. Amelia wanted to complain, but she had no strength to deal with it right now.

'I know I'm the one who lied first,' she thought, biting on her lower lip. 'But he didn't have to treat me this way!'

Her hands clutched nervously on the keys to her brand new car.

Although she had gotten her driver's license, she had not yet experienced driving around that much. Time was ticking, and if she waited a while longer, she would be late for work. Given her situation, she had no choice but to get in the car regardless of her inconfidence in driving it.

SJ Garden had a fairly simple layout. Although there were several intersections, the roads were nice and flat, which was perfect for driving beginners like her.

Aside from the fact that she wasn't exactly the best driver out there, Amelia didn't like the attention she was getting from this shiny, new car.

But at this point, she was already running late. Amelia unwittingly stepped a little harder on the accelerator to get to work in time. However, things didn't turn out exactly how she imagined it to be...

"Hey! What do you think you're doing!" a sturdy man shouted as he knocked angrily at Amelia's car window.

Taking a deep breath, Amelia unfastened her seat belt and got out of the car. There, she was aware that there was a large scratch at the back of her car. "Oh no..." she mumbled, getting all flustered.

"I'm not talking about your car, lady! Look at mine!" the man angrily said as he pointed towards his BMW. There was a thick, golden necklace around his fat neck.

Amelia walked over to the man's car and saw that there was a much larger scratch on it — the license plate had been completely crushed.

At the sight of this, Amelia's heart dropped to her gut.

It all happened so quickly. When she was going up the slope, she had forgotten to change gears. In a panic, she quickly tried to back away, not remembering to pay attention to any of the cars behind her. As a result, such a tragedy happened.

"Yes... Sorry... I... I didn't mean it!" At this point, Amelia was much too terrified of the man to utter a word clearly. "I can pay for it," she said, "I'll pay for the repairs. Is that good enough?"

Although he wasn't tall, he was a very stocky man. He looked to be in his forties, and was starting to get a bald spot on the top of his head. But the only thing Amelia could see was his eyes bulging in anger.

"It's easy for you to say that. I just bought this car!" There were veins on the side of his head as he shouted at Amelia. "Since you won't do anything about it, I'm going to call the police!" he threatened as he took out his mobile phone.

"Hey! I never said that I wasn't going to do anything about it!" "Look, I'm sorry that your car was damaged. But I have just told you that I promise to pay for the repairs," Amelia said as calmly as possible. She didn't want to make things worse than they were.

But the man looked like he wasn't in the mood for democracy. "I don't want to hear another word from you until the police gets here!" he screamed. The man took his phone and quickly dialed.

'Is he trying to blackmail me? What am I going to do now? Why did this have to happen!' Amelia thought worriedly.

'I also have to think about the car Lucian just bought for me. Can this day get any worse?'

Just then, her phone rang. Looking on the screen, she saw that it was Lucian calling.
