Since She Met Lucian novel Chapter 59

In the whole morning, Amelia was in deep sleep. Due to stomach ache, she curled up in bed like a poor kitten hoping it would lessen her pain.

During this period, Lucian worriedly came in and checked her twice. When he was assured that she was asleep, he regained his composure and went on with his work.

When she woke up, the sun was already setting down. Slowly, she sat up from the bed and laid her eyes out of the misty window. No wonder why she could rest soundly. This kind of weather made people feel sleepy.

Carefully, she got up from bed and stood behind the door, pricking up her ears to hear the sound outside. After confirming that there was no sound, she pulled the door handle cautiously. She wanted to leave a gap to see if Lucian was in the office.

"Knock knock..." The moment she opened the door, suddenly there was a knock on the door of the CEO’s office. Startled by the knock, she closed the door immediately.

Then Eric, Lucian's assistant, came in and went out after he briefed the work.

She was so nervous, her heart was pounding heavily.

At that moment, she was hesitating whether she should go out and face her husband. Suddenly, she heard the door knob turned. In that instant, she anxiously climbed to the bed pretending that she was still asleep.

As Lucian entered, he moved quietly while Amelia’s eyes were closed tightly. She held her breath, interested to know what he was doing.

All of a sudden, a faint fragrance of mint surrounded her nose, she felt a warm breath in front of her.

In an instant, her heart was irregularly beating. After holding breath for a long time, she could not handle it anymore and took a big breath.

"Stop pretending. Wake up." His voice was like a basin of cold water that poured upon her face.

Instantly, her eyes wide opened. Fear was reflected in her eyes. She was about to get up when she noticed that his face was so close to hers. Anxiousness took over her body that she dared not to breathe.

"Why are you so scared to see me? Scared of you own husband?" His voice was cold and full of irony.

After asking her, he left the bed.

Then she got up from bed. The room was air-conditioned, so she could not feel the coldness in her body even without a coat.

After she put on a coat, she attentively observed the expression on her husband’s face. She noticed that his aura hadn’t changed, he still looked cold and difficult to approach.

"If you want to say something then say it." From the corner of his eye, he sensed that she was staring at him. Without lifting his head, he asked her.

"Well... I... It’s... I would just like to say that it’s time to get off work." She didn’t mean any of that, but she spoke in a more certain way.

After checking his watch, he said coldly, "I’ll just ask Frank to send you home. I’m not going home tonight."

He’s not going home... At the thought of it, her heart was slowly breaking into pieces. ‘Will he go to Sasha’s home tonight?’ she thought.

With an expression of despair, she didn’t had the courage to ask questions.

Gazing at the ring on her hand, she began to question herself if the romantic scene of that night was only just a dream.

The ring in her finger was real. She checked her neck. The pendant was still the ring that Lucian gave her. That romantic scene was not just a dream, it was part of her reality.

However, she strongly felt the difference of the man that gave her the ring from the man in front of her. It felt like they were totally different persons.

"Are you working overtime tonight? I can wait for you," she replied enthusiastically after she took a deep breath and calmed herself.

Finally, he raised his head. He glanced at her and replied in a very cold tone, "No, I do not have to work overtime tonight."

Since he did not have to work overtime, what else could he possibly do?

She murmured with confusion in her heart and remained frozen for a while.

With his eyebrows frowned, he could not help saying, "You do not have the habit to tell what you are doing every time you go, are you seriously expecting me to tell you what I would do?"

His underlying meaning was filled with sarcasm.

As clear as a glass, she understood what he meant. She just smiled bitterly and nodded. "I understand. I’ll be going now."

Being sensible enough, she hurriedly took her bag and walked out of the office.

As the door was closed, the light in Lucian’s eyes faded. He held his pen and cut the white paper.

The minute she left the office, she inclined toward the staircase and gasped for breath. In order to avoid being seen by her colleagues, she chose to take the stairs. As she went down one of the stairs, she heard an employee said in a discouraged voice, "Look at Sasha's bare dress. Her cleavage and legs are clearly exposed in the winter. Who does she want to seduce?"

Another female resounded in a somewhat angry tone, "She lured our CEO despite the fact that she realized he has a spouse. I heard that she came to the Zhan Group for an interview and passed it."

"In spite of the fact that I don't think a lot about Mrs. Amelia, I heard she generally keeps a low profile. I guess she is a decent tempered lady."
