Since She Met Lucian

"Got it." "Get the files ready and if you have any questions, direct them to Eric."

With that, Lucian left the office.

'Don't be so cocky!' Amelia frowned in disgust.

"Mrs. Amelia... Er, Amelia. Here are the documents for the meeting later. Please arrange these and prepare the conference room while you're at it. This is a major meeting of the shareholders. This is going to happen quite a lot so it's better if you're there today," Eric explained patiently.

Amelia had already prepared everything. She was just about to sit back and relax when she saw Fannie and Nicholas coming towards her.

'Right. Eric said that the meeting's for the shareholders. Of course, they're going to be here,' Amelia thought inwardly.

Fannie had already heard that Amelia was working in the Zhan Group. Amelia just didn't expect to see Fannie on her first day!

Amelia stood in the middle of the corridor. She just stood there, anticipating the disaster that she knew was about to come.

The floor was so shiny that it reflected her own shadow. When she saw another shadow nearing towards her, she balled her hands into fists out of nervousness, bracing herself for what Fannie was going to say to her.

"What are you doing here?" Fannie said spitefully. She was wearing a rose-colored wool coat and expensive-looking jewelry. She looked absolutely divine. Unfortunately, the same could not be said about her personality.

"Don't talk to her like that, aunt. I'm not surprised she's here. She's Lucian's wife, remember?" Shelly chimed in as she looped her arm around Fannie's. She shot Amelia a glare, her tone obviously mocking her.

"What? Has Lucian given her shares of the Zhan Group?" Fannie stared at Amelia in shock and disdain.

"Well, don't be so rude, Fannie. This is the Zhan Group. This isn't the place for this. What a shame, huh?" Nicholas said. Amelia really didn't care that they were mad at her.

"Nicholas, you shouldn't have indulged your son. Now look what you did! This is a mess!" Fannie wasn't going to let Amelia go. She strode towards her, lifted her hand, and slapped her across the face. Then she said in a threatening tone, "If you don't stay away from the Zhan Group, I'll make sure you regret it!"

Before Amelia could even realize what was happening, she heard a buzzing sound ring in her ears. Then her head went blank. The next thing she knew, her face was already burning and slightly swelling.

"Fannie, why did you hit her?" Nicholas looked so angry that he shook his cane to show his frustration. He couldn't stop Fannie since he was in a wheel chair and she was too fast for him.

"I'm going to do whatever the hell I want. What are you going to do about it?" When she finished speaking, she raised her hand in an attempt to slap Amelia again.
