Chapter 228 Lucian Is With Me (1/2)

”Come on, it's time to go. Let's just do what the CEO had asked.” One male employee urged his peers to leave the place, although most of them seemed to be reluctant. A female employee spoke up and persuasively said, ”I think we should give the CEO and Mr. Jonny some privacy. Let's get back and mind our own businesses.”

Convinced by what was said by their co-workers, the employees bade farewell to the CEO, then proceeded to leave.

All that remained in the place were Lucian, Amelia, and Jonny. Having the space all to themselves seemed uncanny. There was nothing but silence and glances between them. Little by little, Amelia began to feel uneasy.

”Jonny, do keep the account in mind. I'll see to it that Amelia gets home first, then we shall discuss it further.” Lucian broke the silence with that stern speech. His indifference towards Jonny was unmistakable.

”Why do you have to leave so soon? Are you worried of what other people think?” Jonny retorted with a mocking smile. He continued to taunt and said, ”Is this about your mom?”

”Shut up,” Lucian said stoically. However, no matter how hard Lucian tried to contain his distaste, he could not allow such an offense to simply pass. His eyes burned with anger. Lucian stared at Jonny intensely. He threatened, ”If you dare to speak of this again, I'll make sure you suffer things worse than death!”

Amelia felt relieved when Jonny decided to not pursue the topic any further.

”Well, since you're so adamant about it, I guess I should stop.” Jonny seemed so da

She had been worried a lot due to Lucian's absence. Now that she knew Lucian was with Shelly, there was no way for her to calm down.

She thought of ways to get Lucian, but there was really one way to do about it.
