Since She Met Lucian

Chapter 26 An Unexpected Kiss

As Lucian's eyes dimmed in indifference, he said coldly, "What would you do if I left?"

If he had said that in a different way, it would be touching instead it sounded more like he was growing impatient.

Lucian was acting so strangely. Didn't the woman say that she was going to see Lucian that night? It was only natural for Amelia to assume that he wasn't coming home with her.

"I'm going straight home after work. I can take a taxi. Don't you have a date tonight? Won't she get mad if you're late?" Amelia said sarcastically, averting her gaze.

"Do I sense some jealousy?" Lucian said coolly.

Amelia could tell that he was just being sarcastic.

"So childish!" With that, she picked up her bag and turned to leave.

Lucian sat on the sofa and smiled happily to himself.

In the elevator, Amelia stared blankly into nowhere, her back sweating profusely.

The silence in the elevator induced Amelia to think about the kiss again. She was so caught up in her own thoughts that she hadn't realized that Lucian was already standing behind her.

The last time Lucian kissed her was in front of Fannie and Nicholas. At that time, she wasn't very pleased with him. While he was handsome, she found that kiss to be completely unnecessary. However, today, she felt different. Her heart was beating faster and she felt restless. It was as if she couldn't hold herself together in front of him.

"Here we are," Lucian said plainly.

Amelia was trembling, still feeling a bit embarrassed.

She couldn't sit still because she couldn't shake off the feeling that the entire city was making fun of her.

The moment they walked out of the building, Amelia noticed a woman in red waving excitedly at Lucian, grinning from ear to ear.

Amelia attempted to put some distance between her and Lucian to avoid the awkwardness, not wanting to cause any trouble.

Most people were getting off work around this time. While Amelia stood in front of the building idly, people stared at her just like they did that morning. However, this time, she wasn't getting off a luxurious car which caused her some anxiety. She wondered what other people say about her.

"Lucian, I've been waiting for you for half an hour." The moment Lucian approached the woman, the woman warmly embraced him and passionately kissed him. What a sweet scene.
