Since She Met Lucian

When she heard that Lucian had misunderstood her, she got anxious and said, "Lucian, we are a couple. We should trust each other. I respect your opinion, that's the reason I told you. I didn't expect that you would think of me like this!"

After saying her piece in a state of fury, she drank the black tea that Lucian made.

When Lucian saw her angry face, he could not help but smile. He felt that he was in the wrong, so he smiled and said, "This is just a kind reminder."

"So, did you agree?" asked she with wide eyes. She was eager to confirm it.

"Yes." Lucian looked at her, his eyes locked on hers. He took her cup and filled it with tea.

His consideration made Amelia happy. Looking at his tall figure, she sighed. She was too happy.

It was almost time to go home. Lucian told her that there would be a dinner party that evening. He would be passing Courtney's milk tea shop, so he could drive her there.

Amelia thought, 'Since we are going the same way, it will not be bother if I go with him.' Without any hesitation, she agreed to go with him.

The Zhan Group wasn't far from Courtney's milk tea shop. It was only a few minute-drive. Before getting off the car, Amelia told Lucian to take care and to not drink too much at the party. She also told him that if he did drink, he should call her so she could pick him up.

Lucian nodded incessantly, then complained, "Mrs. Amelia, you're nagging me."

The jest in his voice was more flattering than mocking.

"I'll be going then." Blushing, she pointed to the milk tea shop.

"Wait!" Lucian got out of the car, her scarf on his hand. "It's very cold these days. You wouldn't want to catch a cold," he said thoughtfully.

It was her scarf, but why was it in the car?

Without satisfying her curiosity, Lucian went back to his car while telling her, "Don't eat spicy food and do not drink!"

Those last few words were domineering. Like an alarm clock, it echoed inside her head repeatedly.

Even though she didn't think of it that much, but his words were effective. She practiced saying lines inside her head. When she entered, she could still hear Lucian reminding her over and over.

It was quiet inside. Guests would be arriving at dinner. She scanned the area. Upon seeing Courtney lying on the bar in a daze, she placed her bag on the counter and jested, "Manager Courtney, the guest has arrived. Why are you not greeting her?"

Courtney lazily looked up and mumbled, "I'm not in the mood to entertain the guest."
