Since She Met Lucian Chapter 25 A Man And A Woman Alone

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?

The woman wore her hair long and curly coupled with a strong perfume. As she passed by Amelia, she
put on a cold smile.

Then she looked at Lucian who was dressed in a crisp suit that only made him even more handsome.

He didn't come home last night. Did he spend the night with this woman?

The question lingered in her head.

"Mrs. Amelia, let's go inside," Eric reminded her in a low voice.



She nodded and tried to calm herself down. She tried to comfort herself by telling herself that their
marriage was only a deal and thus it was fake.

She wasn't supposed to care who Lucian spent the night with. It was none of her business.

Plus, before they even met, Lucian always had a new girl every week.

She knew she needed to get used to seeing him with different women every week.

"I hope I'm not disturbing you." Amelia sat down and flashed him a smile before beginning to peruse
the documents that were on her table.

Lucian stared at Amelia for a long time without saying anything.

Suddenly, he said, "She's my junior schoolmate, Sasha. She just came back from studying abroad."

'So what? I already know what happened. You guys had a dinner, a few drinks here and there, next
thing you know, you're both drunk. These things happen.'

Her mind started coming up with different scenarios.

'What's wrong with me? Why can't I stop thinking about that kiss that he just had with that other
woman?'

She dropped the documents on her table and started scratching her head, her mind a mess.

Lucian was confused by her response. He walked over to her and asked, "What's the matter with you?"

"I'm fine..." Amelia didn't think she could have done anything anyway. Lucian was the boss after all.



"Raise your head." Lucian leaned over to her by hoisting himself up on her desk. He was tall so he
could do it effortlessly. They were so close to each now that when Lucian reached out his hand,
Amelia's heart beat started pulsing in her ears, her face reddened. She didn't know what Lucian was
going to do but she raised her head as he said.

"Do I have something on my face?" He had gently swept his fingers around her mouth, as if he was
brushing something away.

"Bread crumbs," Lucian said faintly.

Amelia lowered her head and said thank you in a small voice.

She was so focused on finishing her food that she had forgotten to wipe her mouth.

Lucian looked at her blushing face. Then as if on a whim, he rested his fingers on her face and leaned
over to her so that they were looking at each other, eye to eye.

'Oh my God, what is he doing?'

She could feel Lucian's light breath on her face as his mint perfume wafted over her nose.

Lucia was a very handsome man. As much as she wanted to remain calm, she couldn't. She just
couldn't remain indifferent.

Amelia was so nervous that her whole body was shaking. She was afraid that if Lucian approached her
again, she wouldn't know what to do.

Lucian's eyes mesmerized her. She felt frozen in place as his eyes penetrated into hers.

"Amelia, are you..." Lucian squinted at her, flashing a small smile.



"I didn't... Ah!" She wanted to explain herself but when she looked up, she was taken aback by how
close Lucian's face was to hers.

Though it was just for a brief second, their lips had touched and Amelia could feel an electric current
run through her body. She was stunned, unable to move for a while.

The kiss was just an accident. To Lucian, it wasn't a big deal. He merely gazed back at her, observing
her reactions.

"Ahem, it's time for work," Amelia whispered in a low voice, still flushing.

Lucian couldn't stop himself from grinning at Amelia's attempt to act natural. He went to the leather sofa
and proceeded to peruse through his documents. In reality, he couldn't concentrate on what he was
reading because he couldn't stop thinking about the kiss.

Amelia's lips felt so soft and she smelled of jasmine which just captivated him.

At that moment, Amelia felt her face burning even more than yesterday when Fannie had slapped her.
All she wanted to do was work but she couldn't concentrate because she couldn't stop thinking about
the accidental kiss that she had just shared with Lucian.

Amelia spent the whole day in a daze. Fortunately, Lucian left her alone for the entire day so she was
able to calm herself down.

"Let's go." Lucian looked at Amelia and gestured to the all the files that were scattered on her desk. He
said, "Clean those up first."

"Okay." Amelia was so scared that she tried to move as quickly as possible. When she finished, she
realized that Lucian was still there. Her voice a faint whisper, she said, "You... What are you still doing
here?"
