Since She Met Lucian

Since they were in middle school, Amelia knew that Courtney was a good-looking girl who came from a rich family. When they were studying in university, Courtney had many suitors. Eventually, she ended up with Kent. Unfortunately, no matter how much she thought that Kent was the right one for her, her father did not approve. Because of this, Courtney and Kent had come a long way to fight for their love.

"If you have to choose between your father and your boyfriend, who would it be?" Amelia sighed and continued, "As long as you and Kent love each other, there's nothing anyone can do. What's more, no one cares about family background now. If Kent gets a better job, he'll be able to get to your level and I'm sure your father would approve of him by then."

"Oh Amelia, that's what I was thinking! Sometimes I think you're really my long lost sister." Courtney nodded her head approvingly. Her sad face instantly brightened up.

"Don't put too much pressure on Kent. Try to understand him. Try to persuade your father calmly. After all, your father has done a lot of things for you." Amelia was at the same age with Courtney, their birthdays just a month apart. Generally speaking, Courtney was elder, but sometimes, when Courtney behaved willfully, she seemed more wayward than Amelia.

But she knew that although Courtney was a little impetuous, she was very kind to her.

"Well, speaking of the devil..." Courtney said as she pointed to someone behind Amelia. Then, she waved with big, bright smile that would put a blooming sunflower to shame.

Amelia turned around and saw Kent in a suit walking towards them with a smile of his own. He seemed to have some good news to share.

"Wow, Kent. I haven't seen you for only a few days and you look like a completely different person!" Amelia exclaimed. Kent looked mature and sharp in his suit and leather shoes, like a shiny new penny.

"That's true, I guess. Whereas you have a completely new identity," Kent said jokingly with a wink.

Amelia's face suddenly flushed, but she just shrugged it off. She looked up and down at Kent as she rubbed her chin in thought. "So what's with the suit? Are you going to propose to Courtney?" Amelia quipped.

"I'll propose when the time's right. In the meantime, the top priority is to pacify our wavering hearts as soon as possible," Kent chuckled. Then, he walked over to Courtney, his eyes filled with love and sincerity. "Courtney, I know that you have suffered a lot because you're with me. Today I went to the Zhan Group for an interview as their sales director. I thought it was a long shot, but... I actually passed! I got the job, Courtney!" Kent was beaming from ear to ear as he held Courtney's hands in his, "From now on, our life will get better."

'The Zhan Group? Did I hear that right?

Does he mean Lucian's company?' Amelia thought.

Just then, Courtney asked the question in Amelia's head, "You mean Lucian's company?"

"Yes," Kent said in an affirmative tone.

Amelia was surprised. Although she was happy for Kent, she also felt panic inside.

"I am now an employee of your company. Hope to get on well with you," Kent turned around and said to Amelia in a formal tone.

Amelia smiled awkwardly.

"From what I know, the Zhan Group's standards are incredibly high! Those who work there are highly capable people. How exciting, my darling! I'll treat you to a nice, big meal tonight!" Courtney was very excited as she held on tightly to Kent's hands. It was as if she was just told that she was the one who had gotten the job at Zhan Group.
