Chapter 25 A Man And A Woman Alone (2/2)

The woman wore her hair long and curly coupled with a strong perfume. As she passed by Amelia, she put on a cold smile.

Then she looked at Lucian who was dressed in a crisp suit that only made him even more handsome.

He didn't come home last night. Did he spend the night with this woman?

The question lingered in her head.

”Mrs. Amelia, let's go inside,” Eric reminded her in a low voice.

She nodded and tried to calm herself down. She tried to comfort herself by telling herself that their marriage was only a deal and thus it was fake.

She wasn't supposed to care who Lucian spent the night with. It was none of her business.

Plus, before they even met, Lucian always had a new girl every week.

She knew she needed to get used to seeing him with different women every week.

”I hope I'm not disturbing you.” Amelia sat down and flashed him a smile before beginning to peruse the documents that were on her table.

Lucian stared at Amelia for a long time without saying anything.

Suddenly, he said, ”She's my junior schoolmate, Sasha. She just came back from studying abroad.”

'So what? I already know what happened. You guys had a dinner, a few drinks here and there, next thing you know, you're both drunk. These things happen.'

Her mind started coming up with different scenarios.

'What's wrong with me? Why can't I stop thinking about that kiss that he just had with that other woman?'

She dropped the documents on her table and started scratching her head, her mind a mess.

Lucian was confused by her response. He walked over to her and asked, ”What's the matter with you?”

”I'm fine...” Amelia didn't think she could have done anything anyway. Lucian was the boss after all.

”Raise your head.” Lucian leaned over to her by hoisting himself up on her desk. He was tall so he could do it effortlessly. They were so close to each now that when Lucian reached out his hand, Amelia's heart beat started pulsing in her ears, her face reddened. She didn't know what Lucian was going to do but she raised her head as he said.

”Do I have something on my face?” He had gently swept his fingers around her mouth, as if he was brushing something away.

”Bread crumbs,” Lucian said faintly.

Amelia lowered her head and said thank you in a small voice.

She was so focused on finishing her food that she had forgotten to wipe her mouth.

Lucian looked at her blushing face. Then as if on a whim, he rested his fingers on her face and leaned over to her so that they were looking at each other, eye to eye.

'Oh my God, what is he doing?'

She could feel Lucian's light breath on her face as his mint perfume wafted over her nose.

Lucia was a very handsome man. As much as she wanted to remain calm, she couldn't. She just couldn't remain indifferent.

Amelia was so nervous that her whole body was shaking. She was afraid that if Lucian approached her again, she wouldn't know what to do.

Lucian's eyes mesmerized her. She felt frozen in place as his eyes penetrated into hers.

”Amelia, are you...” Lucian squinted at her, flashing a small smile.

”I didn't... Ah!” She wanted to explain herself but when she looked up, she was taken aback by how close Lucian's face was to hers.

Though it was just for a brief second, their lips had touched and Amelia could feel an electric current run through her body. She was stunned, unable to move for a while.

The kiss was just an accident. To Lucian, it wasn't a big deal. He merely gazed back at her, observing her reactions.

”Ahem, it's time for work,” Amelia whispered in a low voice, still flushing.

Lucian couldn't stop himself from grinning at Amelia's attempt to act natural. He went to the leather sofa and proceeded to peruse through his documents. In reality, he couldn't concentrate on what he was reading because he couldn't stop thinking about the kiss.

Amelia's lips felt so soft and she smelled of jasmine which just captivated him.

At that moment, Amelia felt her face burning even more than yesterday when Fannie had slapped her. All she wanted to do was work but she couldn't concentrate because she couldn't stop thinking about the accidental kiss that she had just shared with Lucian.

Amelia spent the whole day in a daze. Fortunately, Lucian left her alone for the entire day so she was able to calm herself down.

”Let's go.” Lucian looked at Amelia and gestured to the all the files that were scattered on her desk. He said, ”Clean those up first.”

”Okay.” Amelia was so scared that she tried to move as quickly as possible. When she finished, she realized that Lucian was still there. Her voice a faint whisper, she said, ”You... What are you still doing here?”
