Since She Met Lucian

Chapter 33 I Heard You Were Sleeping In Separate Rooms

"And... Mrs. Fannie went here today too..." Lily was so nervous that her whole body was shaking.

"I see. You may leave now." Lucian looked no different than usual. He turned and nonchalantly asked Amelia, "Do you want to go to the Zhan mansion with me?"

She couldn't turn him down since he had asked.

"Yes." She nodded.

"Don't worry. I'll make sure what happened last time won't happen again," Lucian added.

Lucian's words drew Amelia's attention. A hint of astonishment flashed in her eyes. Suddenly, the image of Fannie slapping her across the face flashed in her mind.

Knowing what he meant, Amelia smiled, "Don't worry. I'll try my best not to piss your mother off."

While Amelia seemed perfectly agreeable, her tone sounded distant as if she was trying to prove a point to Lucian.

They arrived at the Zhan mansion when evening came. All the lights were turned on but there was nothing but silence.

It was Darren who came out to welcome Lucian and Amelia as the rest of the other servants were busy inside the mansion. Nicholas was sitting on the sofa, having a cup of tea. Upon seeing the two arrive, he said simply, "You're here."

This was Amelia's third time meeting Nicholas. While they didn't talk much, she felt as if he was much easier to get along with than Fannie. He hadn't fully accepted her yet but at the very least, he didn't sneer at her or glare at her the way Fannie did.

In response, Amelia gave a polite salute to him.

Nicholas beckoned for them to have a seat. Initially, Amelia wanted Lucian to sit down first before she did but to her surprise, Lucian grabbed her hand and led her to the sofa, saying, "Sit."

She suddenly froze. The warmth of Lucian's hands enveloped hers making her feel all tingly inside.

"Lucian, I heard the Zhan Group's acquired a couple of big projects. I've checked the numbers and it seems you've done a good job. I'm very satisfied with how you're running things." Nicholas looked up. He glanced at Amelia at first then fixed his gentle eyes on Lucian last.

Lucian nodded slightly and did not answer. He just knew that Nicholas hadn't asked him to come here just to say that.

Just as Amelia was wondering where Fannie was, she suddenly heard the voice. "Is Lucian here? Did he bring that woman with him?"

It didn't take a genius to figure out that she was referring to Amelia.
