Since She Met Lucian

When he took off his business suit, he revealed an ensemble of a bright orange sweater and crisp light gray jeans. This outfit made him look tall coupled with a pair of black boots that added to his cool vibe. Draped on his arm was a long coat that he carried elegantly.

It was no surprise Amelia fell head over heels for him. She only came back to her senses when Lucian's voice broke her reverie.

"I... Where are you going?" She felt as if Lucian was watching her very closely to which she responded with guilt and inability to form coherent sentences.

"Mr. Edmund An invited me to play bowling with him. You can come if you want," Lucian suggested as he gently looked at Amelia.

"Mr. Edmund... He's related to Shelly?" She was immediately able to put together that they shared a last name.

"Yes." In reality, Lucian wasn't too keen on going—he only agreed to the invitation out of respect and politeness.

"I'm fine. I can hang out with Courtney." Shelly was in love with Lucian and it didn't need to be mentioned that both their families wanted the two of them to end up together. Amelia figured she'd just be a nuisance if she tagged along as they went bowling.

It also didn't help that Shelly was shooting her death glares.

Frowning, Lucian seemed visibly disappointed. He had figured that Amelia would want to leave because of Shelly.

"Okay, I'll drive you there." Even though he didn't want her to leave, he still spoke to her softly.

"Really?" Amelia asked curiously with her eyes wide open.

"Yes." He nodded. What he really meant was that he'd drive her anywhere but in the end, decided not to. She was easily shaken up especially whenever he was sweet towards her so he just dropped it.

Lucian wasn't cold to her like he was before and he didn't have that indifferent look he always had on his face anymore. Heaving a sigh of relief, Amelia followed behind him.

As Lucian quietly drove the car, Amelia made sure she looked ahead. She was rather nervous as neither of them was speaking making the car ride a bit uncomfortable.

"Shelly's celebrating her birthday tonight. Would you mind if I pick you up for dinner later?" Lucian had figured that Amelia might not enjoy if they went bowling so he just invited her to the dinner tonight.

"I... Fine." Amelia frowned. She could tell that Lucian was expecting her to come and she didn't want to refuse him a second time so she reluctantly agreed.

"You don't have to be so reserved. Just act the way you normally would. I don't want you to be uncomfortable." Lucian liked it when Amelia acted like herself. While she seemed frail on the outside, those who were close to her knew that she was strong on the inside.
