Since She Met Lucian

"Courtney went missing inside your restaurant. If you can't find her, you shall be hold responsible for this..." Amelia couldn't finish her words as she suddenly felt her strength cut loose and her body collapsed on the ground. She couldn't push herself up as she was already too weak to even voice out another word.

In front of her, the man was unperturbed hearing her lash out against him. He walked closer and crouched just an arm's length away from where she laid, the expression in his eyes showed a complicated gaze. He stretched his hand touching the tips of her hair and gently flipped it behind her shoulders. He then spoke, "Don't worry Miss Amelia. I will take care of it and will take the responsibility."

"What are you doing?" Amelia shouted as she was caught in surprise by the man's actions. She felt angry and furiously shook off his hand sending back a glare.

She was currently feeling an immense pain in her body, and it certainly pressured her remaining strength to fight back as she was instantly driven by annoyance. She would never allow anyone to touch her even in such a dire situation.

"Mr. Chen, we have found the lady." The tense atmosphere was then immediately interrupted by a voice. From the corner, a tall and thin figure of a young man in work attire came over and reported respectfully.

Hearing those words, Amelia whipped her head to the person who spoke and eagerly asked for confirmation, "Is that true? You said you have found her?"

"Miss Amelia, it's not a big deal. Don't be so anxious. Here, let me help you out," the strange man spoke up instead and answered her. He was still close to her and gestured to help her with a stretched hand once again. A big smile was plastered on his face.

Hearing the confirmation that Courtney was already safe, she finally felt relieved. She looked back at the strange man and hesitated to accept his help. She still acted stubborn and tried to get up, but fell in deep trouble. She found that she couldn't move an inch. She kept her stubbornness as she didn't want to be supported by the man but she knew that this was not the time to keep up with such attitude as she still needed to get down the stairs.

She had no other choice but to accept the man's help as she was supported to stand up and was led through the way.

With the help of the strange man, Amelia was guided to walk down the stairs in an unhurried manner. Just as they were near the exit, Lucian arrived and looked flustered noticing their position. He saw that the man's arm was encircled around Amelia's shoulder and his other arm was holding on to one of her arms. He immediately seized Amelia into his arms and warned, "Stay away from my woman!"

"Honey, you are here." Amelia's tender voice softened Lucian's raging heart. His anger disappeared in a flash and checked her condition if she was hurt elsewhere.

At the same time, the drunk Courtney with messy clothes staggered over calling Amelia's name. Seeing this, Lucian frowned slightly and ordered the guards behind him, "Help Courtney get in the car. I'll be in charge here."

A guard from behind then stepped forward and supported Courtney out of the hot pot restaurant. The restaurant was already empty since all the guests had already scurried away when Lucian appeared.

It seemed that a gangster tavern was already guarded and surrounded by the police.

"Mr. Lucian, welcome!" the strange man greeted and clapped his hands keeping a smile on his face.

Lucian looked at the man with a cold expression while hugging Amelia to keep her balance and roughly asked, "What did you do to them?"

The strange man was still unconcerned by the cold treatment and kept his smile. He then replied in an innocent tone, "Mrs. Amelia and her friend drank too much. I just noticed them when I'm on my way. Nothing happened."

"Candice, the ten-year history of your shop is over now." The word coming out of Lucian's mouth was as cold as an ice bean. Without any intention to talk to the man any further, he lifted Amelia in his arms and carried her out of the restaurant. The strange man, Candice, was left with a sour expression on his face.

Meanwhile, Amelia was feeling dizzy and felt that her body was being lightly swayed in the air. Her eyes fluttered open as a blurry face came into view. She gently reached out her hand and touched Lucian's face as if she was groping in the dark night. Her emotion of fear and doubt soon was eased as she felt a sense of familiarity.
