Since She Met Lucian

Jonny was presenting in the school hall. School leaders deemed this conference of great importance made even more pronounced by the president who came to witness the event. Outside the conference room, students waited in line for the conference to commence.

"Amelia, take a seat at the front table. I'm afraid that I might be unable to find you if you sit too far." A few minutes before the opening, Jonny found Amelia and pointed at the table in the first row.

Amelia quickly waved her hand. "Jonny, I'll take the back seat." It was too eye-catching to sit in the first row. Amelia wasn't much of the type to grab attention.

Jonny knew that Amelia would refuse him. He smiled and said, "If you sit too far, you wouldn't be cheering me on. You'll just make me even more anxious in front of this crowd. Not to mention, the president himself."

The speech was about to start and the students all took their seats. If she hesitated, it would take Jonny some time. Therefore, she had to agree reluctantly, "Okay, Jonny. Go for it!"

She sat in the first row which gave Jonny the confidence boost he needed.

Amelia was well aware the guests were school leaders and special guests. She felt a little awkward sitting there among the distinguished people.

Realizing that no one was looking at her, she was relieved. 'Perhaps sitting here was better than I thought,' she said to herself.

The host gave a speech after the opening of the event. It was a good time to go back to middle school.

At the same time, Lucian sat in the VIP seat led by others.

"Oh my God! Isn't he the CEO of the Zhan Group? I didn't expect him to be here! "

"Yeah, what a great day today! I can actually see two esteemed individuals in the house. God, help me!"

"Jonny and Lucian used to be students here. Although, only for a short while, we still treat them as our seniors. It doesn't come as a surprise to have him here."

"…"

The name of Lucian was like a fast gust of wind, making its way into Amelia's ears. All of a sudden, her body was frozen stiff.

'Didn't he say he had a meeting to attend? Was it...'

Amelia turned her head in horror and instantly, her eyes locked into Lucian's gaze.

'Oh my God! What horrible luck! He found me at his first glance!' She tried grappling for ideas to come out clean from the lie she had just told.

To get out of the hot mess, she had texted Courtney and asked her to cover the lie for her after she answered Lucian's call. Now that he ran into her, the truth was finally out.

She thought that Lucian would get angry and drag her out of the hall. To her relief, he looked away after a short while and fixed his focus on the speech platform.
