Since She Met Lucian

"Amelia, this is getting odd. Every time I ask you something, you don't answer it and you just change the topic!" Courtney seemed disappointed as she spoke.

"Well, then just don't..." Amelia's voice trailed off. She turned only to find in horror that Lucian was standing by the door. In utter shock, she raised her hand and covered her mouth.

Wasn't he supposed to be with Sasha taking care of her? What was he doing here?

"Amelia, I was supposed to tell you but we were playing around and I was out of breath and..." Courtney explained bashfully upon seeing the look on Amelia's face.

Amelia pursed her lips and immediately flushed when she remembered what she had been doing just now. 'Did Lucian see all of that? Was he turned off?' she thought to herself in a panic.

"Why didn't you answer your phone?" Lucian said in a cold voice. He sounded displeased with her.

Rendered speechless, Amelia wondered why he would even bring her to a date with his girlfriend in the first place. However, since Courtney was still standing by her side, she answered calmly, "I put my phone on silent mode so I didn't know that you were calling."

'She says she put her phone on silent mode but she was able to reject the calls?' he thought to himself.

Lucian was inexplicably angry. He pulled her towards him and said expressionlessly, "Let's go. We're going home."

Startled by this, it didn't take much effort for Lucian to pull Amelia.

Courtney watched this entire scene unfold in fear. She hurriedly said, "Lucian, what are you going to do?"

Lucian stopped, turned to look at Courtney and said, "Thank you."

Thank you? Amelia was understandably confused. Why would Lucian thank Courtney?

It took a while for Amelia to put the pieces together. She should have thought earlier why Courtney would ask for her help when the shop had few customers.

It was because Lucian had called Courtney first before she did Amelia. What kind of friend was Courtney?

Upon seeing the apologetic look on Courtney's face, Amelia knew then that her hunch was right.

When Lucian had successfully forced her into the car, the first thing that came out of her mouth was, "Aren't you supposed to be with your girlfriend right now? What's wrong with you?"
