Chapter 26 An Unexpected Kiss (1/2)

As Lucian's eyes dimmed in indifference, he said coldly, ”What would you do if I left?”

If he had said that in a different way, it would be touching instead it sounded more like he was growing impatient.

Lucian was acting so strangely. Didn't the woman say that she was going to see Lucian that night? It was only natural for Amelia to assume that he wasn't coming home with her.

”I'm going straight home after work. I can take a taxi. Don't you have a date tonight? Won't she get mad if you're late?” Amelia said sarcastically, averting her gaze.

”Do I sense some jealousy?” Lucian said coolly.

Amelia could tell that he was just being sarcastic.

”So childish!” With that, she picked up her bag and turned to leave.

Lucian sat on the sofa and smiled happily to himself.

In the elevator, Amelia stared blankly into nowhere, her back sweating profusely.

The silence in the elevator induced Amelia to think about the kiss again. She was so caught up in her own thoughts that she hadn't realized that Lucian was already standing behind her.

The last time Lucian kissed her was in front of Fannie and Nicholas. At that time, she wasn't very pleased with him. While he was handsome, she found that kiss to be completely unnecessary. However, today, she felt different. Her heart was beating faster and she felt restless. It was as if she couldn't hold herself together in front of him.

”Here we are,” Lucian said plainly.

Amelia was trembling, still feeling a bit embarrassed.

She couldn't sit still because she couldn't shake off the feeling that the entire city was making fun of her.

The moment they walked out of the building, Amelia noticed a woman in red waving excitedly at Lucian, grinning from ear to ear.

Amelia attempted to put some distance between her and Lucian to avoid the awkwardness, not wanting to cause any trouble.

Most people were getting off work around this time. While Amelia stood in front of the building idly, people stared at her just like they did that morning. However, this time, she wasn't getting off a luxurious car which caused her some anxiety. She wondered what other people say about her.

”Lucian, I've been waiting for you for half an hour.” The moment Lucian approached the woman, the woman warmly embraced him and passionately kissed him. What a sweet scene.

Amelia pursed her lips and looked away. 'Lucian may be handsome but he could never make up his mind. I sure don't want to date someone like that,' she thought to herself.

”What? Why is Sasha kissing Mr. Lucian in front of Mrs. Amelia? How dare she?” a woman commented as she passed by Amelia.

”Keep your voice down. Mr. Lucian might hear you and he could fire you,” her colleague responded, tugging at her sleeve. Then she whispered, ”Sasha comes from a very wealthy family too. She's known Mr. Lucian since forever. If it weren't for his mother, they probably would've gotten married already!”

The female employee deliberately said mysteriously, but her words were clearly heard by Amelia.

Her heart skipped a beat and she was inexplicably sad.

She suddenly felt all her justifications and excuses collapse.

Even though they were just acting, she still cared, didn't she?

No wonder Lucian didn't come back last night. They were getting along. Could Lucian be ending their deal already?

She had been looking forward to this moment for a long time already but now that it was here, she really didn't know what to do.

”What are you thinking about?” Noticing that Amelia hadn't followed him, Lucian walked over to her and grabbed her by the arm. He led her toward Sasha and introduced them, ”Sasha, this is my assistant, Amelia.”

”Hello.” Sasha greeted Amelia with a big smile on her face. Amelia couldn't help but think, 'Is she a model? She's sexy and she has that gorgeous smile. She looks like a queen!'

It was no wonder that Lucian liked her. Who wouldn't be charmed by such a beautiful lady like Sasha?

”Hello,” Amelia said in a low voice as she reached out her hand timidly. On the inside, she was already panicking.

”Lucian, your assistant is very beautiful,” Sasha commented, still smiling.

It seemed that Sasha didn't know about her deal with Lucian. If she knew, she probably wouldn't be as kind to her.

”Thank you.” Amelia was a little embarrassed. Since Lucian introduced her as his assistant, this meant that she had no reason to stay there and be the third wheel. Lucian obviously wasn't going to tell Sasha that he was married. She took advantage of the brief pause and said, ”Mr. Lucian, Ms. Sasha, I need to leave. Enjoy yourselves tonight.”

She smiled very sincerely. Before Lucian could speak, she had already turned to leave.
