Since She Met Lucian novel Chapter 49

"Mr. Lucian, please take Mrs. Amelia home first. I'll handle the rest," Eric, Lucian's assistant, offered. He had just arrived and kindly offered to help.

Lucian opened his thin lips and said coldly, "Teach him a lesson!"

With that, Lucian left with Amelia.

When they got on the car, Amelia felt less nervous. Since Lucian wasn't saying anything, she decided to do the same.

"You should ask Frank to drive you," Lucian said after a long pause.

She scratched the car the first time she drove it. While she wanted to refuse him, she knew she had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

"Sorry, I broke your car..." she said guiltily.

Your car... She always made sure to distinguish what was his and hers.

Lucian was inexplicably angry. He asked coldly, "You think just saying sorry is enough?" He was at a very important meeting when he found out that she was late. Worried, he called her to ask her what was going on. As expected, she was very uneasy.

He intended to pound on her a little more but he didn't expect that she'd be so bad at driving that she couldn't even run up a slope.

"I'll just pay for the repair fees, okay?" Sadly, her bank account was practically empty. That was all she could offer.

Lucian noticed how aggrieved Amelia was already. He didn't have the heart to continue making things difficult for her. "It's fine. You don't have to do that. Just make dinner tonight."

Upon giving it more thought, he concluded that her cooking was the only thing that could make him feel better now.

Cook? That's not a big deal at all!

Amelia relaxed right away. She nodded with a smile. "I'll go to the grocery after work."

She was only obedient because she knew she made a mistake. Despite being happy, Lucian remained stoic.

Amelia eyed him and noticed the cold look on his face. Thinking he was angry, she bit her lower lip and said in guilt after a long pause, "So yesterday..."

"Amelia, don't mention it. I came because to everyone else, you're my wife. That means it's my responsibility to protect you," Lucian interrupted her coldly. He gave her no chance to apologize.

He spoke conclusive so Amelia decided to shut her mouth.

Still, why did she feel so lost?

When they arrived at the Zhan Group, Lucian left his coat and went straight to the meeting room.

Since she was Lucian's assistant, she was in charge of cleaning up after him. However, he didn't give her any tasks before leaving. Still, she knew she had to keep herself busy because he was still paying her a salary after all.

She didn't need to help in cleaning the office because there was a specific cleaner responsible for doing that.

Upon noticing that the documents on Lucian's desk were a bit messy, she decided to sort them out. She didn't recognize most of these documents but what she could recognize were the signatures at the bottom.

It was Lucian... The minute she thought of Lucian, a smile immediately appeared on her face and her heart started beating rapidly.

And his handwriting seemed familiar to her.

She shook her head as she felt she was thinking too much about Lucian already.

Bang! Bang! Bang! There was a knock on the door so Amelia hurriedly answered it. She'd assumed that the meeting was over however when she saw who was knocking, she froze.

"Amelia?" Sasha had a mischievous look on her face. She then covered her mouth with her hand as if she too was shocked.

Sasha was, no doubt, sexy. The red dress she wore today accentuated her figure very well.

The faint smile that played on her lips coupled with the delicate make-up she had on her face made her look intimidating.

She walked into the office gracefully and looked around. When she realized that Lucian wasn't there, she turned and asked, "Where's Lucian?"

"Well... Mr. Lucian's in a meeting right now..." Amelia then offered, "Miss Sasha, please have a seat while you wait."

Raising her eyebrows, Sasha pouted her lips. She joked, "Come on, Amelia. Don't act like you're the hostess here."

Amelia's face froze then she answered awkwardly, "No, I mean, the CEO isn't here. As his assistant, it's my job to entertain you while he isn't back yet." Then she made a cup of tea for Sasha.

Sasha took the cup and thanked her politely. After taking a sip, she frowned and asked, "Why is it so bitter?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. I used the tea I have in here. I was afraid I would doze off while at work so I made it like I would for myself..." Amelia frowned in embarrassment and scolded herself for being so careless.

Anger was written all over Sasha's face. "You're just an assistant," she said, a little annoyed.

Technically, she was saying that Amelia wasn't doing a good job.
