Since She Met Lucian

Going to visit the An family was like walking straight into a lion's den.

"Don't be afraid. I'll just be by your side the entire time." Noticing that Amelia had fallen silent, Lucian put his hand on the back of her hand and comforted her in a soft voice.

Amelia looked up at Lucian, feeling a bit more at ease. But her heart was still fluttering with nervousness.

Taking a deep breath, she focused her attention on warmth Lucian's hand offered. It was very comforting, and gave her a strong sense of security.

A few moments later, Lucian pulled over at a clothing store. "Why did you stop here?" Amelia asked.

"Just needed to pick something up. Let's go," Lucian said as he got down the car.

"Okay." Amelia nodded and followed Lucian.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Lucian." As soon as they entered the store, the shop owner came over to Amelia and eyed her with a bright smile. "The evening dress you ordered is ready. Is it for this lovely lady?"

"Yes." Lucian nodded and turned around to Amelia. "Go and try it on."

"What?" Before Amelia could figure out what was going on, the shop owner grabbed onto her hand and ushered her into a spacious dressing room. It was filled with elegant dresses — evening gowns made out of silk, cocktail dresses with intricate laces, and a lot more others that left Amelia speechless.

The shop owner took a dress off the rack and presented it to Amelia. "Miss Amelia, please put this on a see if it fits you well," she said, holding up a pastel, strapless dress.

"Me?" Amelia was surprised. It was then she finally realized what was happening and what the dress was for.

Lucian wanted her to wear something special for Shelly's birthday party. Although she thought it would be best to just go with what Lucian had arranged for her to wear, she was still a bit unwilling.

'It's too.... pink,' Amelia thought doubtfully.

"Do you have other styles? A simpler one?" Amelia asked awkwardly.

"Miss Amelia, this is the style Mr. Lucian personally chose for you. I personally think that this dress would suit your lovely complexion." The way the shop owner spoke was as if she had already envisioned Amelia in the dress.

It seemed that there was no way Amelia was leaving that store without that dress on. With a sigh, she took the dress and tried it on.

The dress was long, and hugged Amelia's slender body nicely. Taking a look at the mirror, Amelia couldn't help but admit to herself that it did actually look nice on her.

Judging on how soft and delicate the fabric was, Amelia knew that this dress must have cost a lot.

"Mrs. Amelia, you are so beautiful! You look quite extraordinary in this dress!" The store owner looked at Amelia and marveled, clapping her hands in delight.

Amelia felt a little embarrassed by her compliment. With a half-hearted laugh, she lowered her head and tried to cover her breasts with her arms. 'I didn't expect it to be this revealing...' she thought worriedly.
