Chapter 20 Work In The Zhan Group (2/2)

After gaining a better perspective on the Zhan Group, Amelia concluded that her work mostly involved Lucian.

She had no clear scope of what her job was going to be besides the fact that it mostly involved Lucian. In addition to keeping up with Lucian's daily activities and handling them, she needed to be at all of Lucian's appointments meaning she would be spending more time with him.

Amelia shuddered at the idea of spending so much time with Lucian especially whenever she thought of his cold demeanor and that icy glare he always seemed to have.

Suddenly, the giant door flew open with a bang. Amelia's face turned white as a sheet in fear. She then saw four men in black suits come in and position themselves by the door. They all looked serious.

Then Lucian strode into the office. The atmosphere completely shifted.

Isn't this her office? What's Lucian doing here?

Amelia was so frightened that she placed her hands on her desk, her heart pounding.

”Remember her face,” Lucian ordered as he eyed Amelia with a strange look on his face.

”Got it,” the four men in black suits answered in unison.

'What is he doing? Why is Lucian asking them to remember my face?' She touched her face in horror.

”You may leave now.” After the men left, Lucian shoved his hands in his pockets, an unreadable expression on his face. He raised his eyebrows and asked, ”So what do you think so far? Is the office to your liking?”

Amelia was still in a trance. When she heard Lucian, she replied impatiently, ”Would it even matter what I say?”

Lucian had the final say in everything that went on here at the Zhan Group. Amelia had a lot of complaints. For one, she didn't like that she was going to be spending most of her day with Lucian.

”Not really,” Lucian snorted. Then he gestured to the desk and said, ”You can work here for now but I'd also like you to know that I also take my naps here.”

”What did you just say?” Amelia widened her eyes. She couldn't believe her ears. She pointed to the corner and asked, ”Are you telling me that you take naps here?”

Lucian shrugged and said, ”What? Is that a problem?”

The curiosity in Amelia's eyes was replaced with a frown.

Before seeing the actual office, she was already curious as to what it might look like. She didn't expect that such a huge office area would belong to only Lucian. She couldn't help but feel cheated.

”Lucian, can I get another office perhaps?” she negotiated. She wasn't comfortable with the idea that Lucian would be taking a nap at her office every day.

Lucian squinted his eyes upon noticing the nervous look on Amelia's face. He asked, ”What are you so nervous about?”

”I...” She blushed and hurriedly said, ”I'm not nervous. I just... I just don't want to see you that often.”

What she said was perfectly reasonable.

With a faint smile, Lucian prompted, ”Really? You don't?”

The peppermint scent that often emanated from Lucian filled Amelia's nose. His deep eyes were fixated on her causing her chest to tighten.

Amelia found it odd that she didn't find the peppermint scent repulsive especially in this cold weather.

Lucian had stretched out his hand and caressed her skin. His touch was gentle and careful as if he was afraid of hurting Amelia.

Amelia's face was flushed. She lowered her head in embarrassment.

Lucian thought she just looked absolutely beautiful like a daffodil just blossoming.

Amelia's clothes suited her very well. It brought out her charm and sexiness at the same time. Her scent was overpowering to Lucian. He lifted her chin with his one hand and said in a soft voice, ”I think I like you better when you don't speak.”

”What?” Amelia suddenly raised her head and looked directly into Lucian's eyes. They were so close to each other that if they moved just a bit, they would be touching each other already.

Amelia could feel his hot breath on her face which made her turn away. She then started to gasp.

”Amelia, you're a coward!” Lucian sneered before moving away from her. He then said in a serious tone, ”You can pretend that I'm not here but you still have to stay.”

Amelia's face was still flushed. While her heartbeat had already calmed down, she still felt nervous.

”Bang bang bang...” There was a knock on the door.

”Come in,” Lucian said coldly.

”Sir, the meeting begins at ten this morning,” Eric reported as he came in.
