Since She Met Lucian

Chapter 22 Is It A Banter

"Come with me!" Lucian grabbed Amelia by the wrist and pulled her back to her office.

When Lucian slammed the door shut, she behaved in fear that if she got on Lucian's nerves, he'd threaten her again.

"Lucian, we're at work. Could you please... Could you please be a little more professional?" Amelia's voice trailed off.

Still, Lucian was as cold as ever. His actions touched Amelia though. As soon as she looked away, he put a cup of ice cubes in front of her.

"Why'd you put ice cubes here?" Amelia asked in surprise. She didn't see it coming so she was taken aback.

"This is the Zhan Group. You can find whatever you want here." Lucian was busy packing the ice cubes so he could press it against Amelia's swollen face.

In fact, before his meeting, he had already asked Eric to bring some ice cubes to the office. He thought that Amelia would be back from the lady's room then but she wasn't. Amelia was even grumbling.

However, upon giving it more thought, he realized that maybe Amelia had the right to be angry because it was his fault for any of this happened anyway.

"I can do it myself..." When he put the ice on her face, she took it uneasily and then lowered her eyes in embarrassment.

She was supposed to be the wronged one but for some reason, she felt as if it was she who had done something wrong.

"Apply some ointment on your face. You can't have a swollen face. It's going to affect the image of the Zhan Group." He purposely ridiculed Amelia because he still needed to go back to the meeting. He could only do that if he got on Amelia's nerves.

"The image of the Zhan Group has nothing to do with me!" She couldn't believe that he was concerned about that right now!

Lucian chuckled. He handed her a glass of water when he noticed that she was sulking. He said politely, "You went through a lot today. I'll be back in half an hour. Wait for me. I just have to wrap up the meeting."

Amelia grew nervous any time Lucian spoke to her like this—soft and gentle. She felt her face flushing.

This feeling... Could it be...

Amelia lowered her head quickly in embarrassment.

When Lucian left, she couldn't calm herself down. He was acting like the perfect gentleman and she didn't know what to make of it.

Amelia put the ice on her swollen face and smiled as she got lost in her thoughts.
