Since She Met Lucian

Amelia thought that she wouldn't be able to sleep well since it was her first time sleeping there. However, to her surprise, she had a pretty good sleep that night.

It was a Monday so Amelia was just getting ready to go to work. When she headed downstairs, her phone started ringing—it was a message from Courtney. She was worried because she didn't see Amelia at the bar that night. Amelia quickly texted back. When she raised her head, she found Lucian standing in front of her and staring at her.

Amelia was a little stunned and her face flushed out of embarrassment. Lucian was wearing a nice, crisp suit. His other hand was clutching an expensive-looking leather briefcase while the other was shoved in the pocket of his pants. He looked quite handsome.

"I've made some arrangements. You don't need to go back to your old job anymore. From now on, you're going to be working at the Zhan Group with me," he said plainly. He then glanced at her from head to toe and added, "Your clothes are in the wardrobe. The ones that are appropriate for your new job, I mean."

Amelia gazed back at him in disbelief, eyes widened. "Are you serious?"

Last night, Lucian promised that he wouldn't do anything and suddenly, he was controlling her life. He had taken her old job away without her permission.

"You should see how much you're going to make at the Zhan Group," Lucian said casually as he put on his tie.

Amelia was not the type to be swayed by money. Even if her salary at her old job was quite low, that didn't mean that she didn't want to work there anymore.

Amelia clenched his fists. She was so angry that she couldn't even bring herself to say something. She was just trembling in anger.

Glancing at her, Lucian then added rather harshly, "Your family's probably busy now. Your father called this morning, asking for your help. But I declined on your behalf. That's your ex-boyfriend's wedding after all. I don't want you get upset over that."

"What do you mean?" 'Are they going to have the wedding tomorrow?' she pondered.

Even though she had already accepted this, it was still painful to think that the man she had spent five years with was going to get married to someone else.

Lucian raised his eyebrows and gave a meaningful smile. Then he looked at Amelia and consoled her, "If you want to attend the wedding, I'll happily come with you."

When Amelia looked sideways, Lucian's face came into view. She couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Lucian was so painfully handsome and it was difficult to find a man like him especially with his family background. There was no need for her to do that, anyway. Jasper was gone and she had to accept that. Besides, it was not like Jasper was an angel. His cheating on her meant that he didn't deserve her love anymore and Amelia deserved someone else better.

"No, thanks," Amelia said coldly, her face darkening. She then glared at him and said, her tone sharp as knives, "We're just a fake couple. Please don't interfere with my work and my life ever again."

Gazing back at her, Lucian smiled and said, "Well, since you don't want to work in the Zhan Group, you can just find another job in the city."
