Since She Met Lucian

Chapter 59 Having Everything You Want

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. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

"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."

"I heard that Sasha used to be an outgoing person. She really knows how to satisfy men. Do you believe that our CEO would fall into her snare?"

"Keep your voice down. If other employees heard this, we will be terminated!"

"Who do you think would walk on stairs?"

The two female didn't notice Amelia at all. They continued to walk down the stairs while talking.

After hearing those words, Amelia stood there and dazed for a long time. She was lost in her thoughts until her cellphone buzzed.

It was Frank. He was assigned to send her home.

Actually she was about to grab a taxi home, Frank blocked her and said, "Boss assigned me to send you home."

The way he talked to her was full of authority. It would be hard to decline him, she needed to do as what he said.

When she walked out of the building, Frank was standing next to his car, waiting for her presence. She quickly sat inside his car, then she discovered that several female employees were whispering to each other while pointing at the cars.

From the start, she disliked to be so high-profile so she seldom went to work by Lucian’s car. Although her relationship with him was well known in the Zhan Group, she only worked for him and rarely got in touch with other employees from other departments. Naturally, she did not communicated with others.

As the center point of the Zhan Group, Lucian took over the whole company. Employees were usually curious about him. In addition, he was young and promising, which others described to be perfect. As a matter of fact, female colleagues were naturally attracted to him.

They thought that their boss deeply cared about his wife, so they had a private discussion about it. They thought that she must have a unique and promising charm that attracted the attention of Lucian.

"Mrs. Amelia, are you okay? Did you have a fight with Mr. Lucian?" on their way back to the SJ Garden, Franked asked her while driving.

At the mention of his name, her heart trembled. She glanced at Frank in wonder.

"Mr. Lucian drank a lot last night. I was about to send him home but he decided to stay in the hotel. So I accompanied him to the hotel then drove him back to the company early in the morning." Franked filled the puzzle in Amelia's mind on what happened last night.

The message she received from Sasha ran into her mind, she curiously asked, "Who was with him last night? Was it Miss Sasha?"

In her mind, Sasha was Lucian’s girlfriend. She thought that it was normal for them to be together. Even the thought of it made her upset.

"What do you mean? Miss Sasha?" Frank frowned. After spending a while of contemplation, he explained, "Miss Sasha came for an interview in the company this morning. Mr. Lucian was not with her last night."

Then what was Sasha's purpose in sending her that message? She even stated that Lucian was with her.

After returning to the SJ Garden, she got more relaxed after Frank confirmed that her husband was not with Sasha. She had to admit to herself that after reading the message from Sasha, her mind and emotions were overwhelmed with resentment. She even thought of Lucian as a playboy who just confessed his love to her in the New Year's Eve. Then in the next day, he was together flirting with his ex-girlfriend.

Knowing it was just a misunderstanding, a curve formed on her lips, then she went to the kitchen to make dinner. She would still eat even if her husband was not coming home. Otherwise, she would suffer from stomach ache.

Wasting food is something that she didn't like, so she only prepared the dinner for herself. However, as soon as the dishes were on the table, Lucian surprisingly came back.

At that moment she was about to have the meal, she thought that she had an imagination and winked her eyes hard. When she was about to confirm it, he had already came to the table. He stared at the dishes on the table and then joked around, "Does Mrs. Amelia only do herself like this when she's alone?"

Hearing the things he said, she blushed immediately. She dropped the chopsticks and turned to look at him. There was an unreadable look in her eyes, but she was happy because her husband came back.

"I'm going to cook some other dishes." As his wife, she should cook something to serve him.

Glancing at the simple dishes served on the table, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

'This is what I called home, isn't it?' he thought to himself.

She liked vegetable, so she only prepared a simple vegetable dish. When he came back, she took the meat out of the fridge, cleaned it and cut it to prepare. With these ingredients, she planned to make some simple home cooking and then cook a soup. In this way, there would be enough dishes for the both of them.

Ever since she graduated from college, she had been living alone. Every day after work, she cooked by herself so there was no doubt that she was skilled at cooking. Even the simple home cooking tasted like they were from fancy restaurants that made the mouth watery.

Shortly after she left, he couldn't contain himself. Purposely, he didn't drive home until he was ensured that Frank already sent her home.

Actually, he was a little mad with her. For this reason, he lost his temper deliberately in front of her just because he treasured her so much.

The memory was still very clear in his mind, he could still remember what happened. Ten years ago, Jonny and him were close friends, but they had a fight over one thing. Although it had been so many years, it had always been an interference in their hearts.

Therefore, the moment he saw her in the same picture with Jonny, he lost his head and blamed her.

When he calmed down, he felt sincerely sorry for his misconduct, especially when he saw her pale face.

"I know you're used to eating big meat, but I only made a slice of meat for you tonight. I hope that it's fine with you. Have it a try." She sat down and explained to him.

Looking at the three simple dishes on the table, he finally showed a pleasant smile. "I have no doubt about your cooking. Let's enjoy the meal that my wife has prepared."

She was astonished. Looking at the man with confusion and happiness radiated in her eyes.

That was a compliment for her excellent cooking! She was like eating a candy, her heart filled with sweetness.
