Since She Met Lucian

Chapter 61 Sasha Got Injured

How could she, an ordinary girl, meet such a handsome and exquisite man?

At 9 o'clock in the morning, Amelia entered the meeting room, following Lucian. When they entered, the representatives of all departments had already sat down. Everyone curiously looked at Amelia. Maybe it was because that they couldn't discuss anything without being too obvious about it. Even if they were confused, everyone tried to calm down and waited for the meeting to start.

The large meeting room was full of Lucian's colleagues, which made Amelia so nervous that her eyebrows twitched.

She bowed her head and followed Lucian. She kept her head down until Lucian took his seat.

She was too nervous to hear that Lucian had gently asked her to sit down.

"Mrs. Amelia, Mr. Lucian asked you to take a seat," reminded Eric, Lucian's assistant.

"Uh..." Amelia replied, her face hot from blushing.

Everyone's focus was on her, and her slow reaction was apparent to everyone in the room. They must have thought that the CEO of the Zhan Group married a dull woman.

Before the meeting began, Lucian comforted her and told her not to be nervous. She managed to calm her nerves and adjusted herself.

The atmosphere was quiet and even though Lucian had spoken in a low voice, his voice echoed in the room and everyone clearly heard him.

Amelia nodded sluggishly, her face still burning as if she were a student attending her first of school and was unaccustomed to a new environment.

"Give me the file," Lucian spoke to her, his voice low. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Amelia was alert this time and heard him immediately. She took the stack of compiled documents and handed it over to him.

Lucian looked deeply at her, joy filled his eyes.

Amelia smiled and lowered her head. Though her nerves had calmed down, she was still tense.

Amelia's nerves had definitely gotten the better of her since she didn't even notice that Sasha had been staring daggers at her the entire time. Her eyes were carefully following her every move.

In the middle of the meeting, Eric suddenly stood up and Amelia shot him a serious look. He was pouring tea for everyone.

As soon as she realized that she was supposed to be assisting Lucian, she hastily walked over to Eric and whispered, "Let me do it."

Eric needed to play the PowerPoint slides later, so he couldn't let these matters affect or concern him.

Eric's face showed embarrassment, but warned Amelia to be careful when handling the tea reminding her that it was hot.

The news about Lucian's marriage spread all over the city, so from the first day she came to Zhan Group, everyone in the company already knew who she was. Many would salute her when they bumped into her. Not much information was known about Amelia, so there weren't as many negative comments either.

"Thank you, Mrs. Amelia." One of the employees felt flattered as he thanked her. It seemed that no one had expected that Amelia would be pouring tea for them in person.

In order not to influence the meeting, she shook her head and made a 'shh' sound. She continued to pour tea for the others with a calm smile on her face.

The Sales Manager was in the midst of reporting the quarterly results when Lucian's mind cleared up just enough for him to catch notice of Amelia pouring tea for the staff. The surprised look on his face quickly turned into a faint smile as he watched on.

Sasha, who had been staring at Lucian the whole time, noticed this and fueled her jealousy and the fury in her heart grew stronger.

At first, she thought that the marriage between Lucian and Amelia was only a formality. But now, it seemed that he really cared about her.

She tried her best to stay close to Lucian and came to the Zhan Group by lowering herself to get Lucian's heart. She would never allow him to fall in love with Amelia.

If Amelia didn't pour tea for everyone, she wouldn't have noticed that Sasha was also present in the meeting room.

Sasha had a good figure. After dressing in corporate dress, she looked much more feminine. Although it was cold outside, but she still wore a short skirt and silk stockings, V-neck chiffon blouse, and a small black blazer to tie in the look. Her curly, chestnut hair was worn up, showing off an eye-catching platinum necklace on her fair neck. With stunning makeup, she lowered her head to read the documents, but her body was glowing with the platinum necklace. And as a result, she looked exquisite.

Amelia took a mug and was about to pour some tea into Sasha's, but to her surprise, Sasha took the cup and gave her a friendly smile, bowing to her and expressing her gratitude in a low voice.

Amelia tried her best to stay quiet. She shook her head with a smile, and pointed at Sasha's cup with her finger. She meant to get some tea for Sasha instead.

With a friendly smile, Sasha handed the mug to Amelia.

Even though Amelia had many questions about the message from Sasha, she knew that it was not the time to be thinking about this. She focused on her work and carefully poured the tea, making sure not to spill a single drop.

"Amelia, Lucian said he would only love me in his life." When Amelia bent over, Sasha took the chance to whisper to her with a very obvious smile across her face.

This statement erased the smile on Amelia's, leaving her with a bemused look.

"Ah!" Her scream broke the serious and quiet atmosphere of the meeting room.

Everyone around Sasha rushed over to her and held her hands, asking if she was alright.

If it wasn't for Sasha's sharp statement, Amelia would have been lost in thought.

"Amelia, I thought you were going to pour me some tea, but you scalded the back of my hand instead!" Sasha accused, holding her scalded hand up.

It was only then that Amelia realized that she had scalded Sasha's hand because of her distraction. Frightened, she placed the kettle down, walked over to her, and apologized, "I'm sorry. It wasn't on purpose..."

She didn't mean it. If she hadn't heard what Sasha had said, she wouldn't have been so absent-minded and this incident could have been avoided.

But now it was not the time to find an excuse for herself. Besides, Sasha's hand was indeed scalded by the hot tea she poured.

At that moment, Lucian walked up to them and said coldly, "This meeting is temporarily over. Eric, please take Miss Sasha to the infirmary."

Because of Lucian's quick and well-organized instructions, the discussions immediately halted and the onlookers exited the meeting room.

Like an abrupt storm, Amelia had not yet felt the coldness of the wind. The wind was far from her, and only a lingering fear remained.

She looked at Lucian from across the table. Her hands were crossed nervously and she was speechless for a moment.

Lucian didn't say anything, his face in a sulk, which made Amelia more worried.

"Come here," after a pause, Lucian spoke, his words cold and powerful.

Amelia was stunned for a moment, and then proceeded to walk towards him. With her head buried deep, she pretended to be obedient as if she had done something wrong with her face full of guilt.

"I didn't mean it." She pouted and said with an aggrieved tone.

Of course, Lucian knew that she didn't mean it. He could clearly see that Sasha had whispered something to her, which had shocked her.

"I know that you didn't do it on purpose, so what's with the frown? Sit down." Lucian pointed at his knees and spoke to her lightly with a gentle look in his eyes.

Amelia had thought that Lucian would be angry with her and criticize her for doing such a minor task wrong. But she didn't expect that he would ask her to sit on his lap with a gentle tone.

Her shocked appearance resembled a little girl who was ignorant of worldly affairs and asked somebody to look at her with pity. People could not help trying to protect her.

Seeing that she didn't even flinch, Lucian took the initiative. He held her slender waist and pulled her into his arms.

It seemed like a dream for Amelia. She turned around and hugged Lucian.

She had to admit that Lucian's hug was magical, which calmed her down instantly.

Lying in Lucian's arms and feeling his strong heartbeat, Amelia totally calmed down.

"What did Sasha say to you?" Lucian asked coldly.

Amelia was shocked. She pulled her head up from Lucian's hug and asked anxiously, "How did you know that Sasha said something to me?" Sasha's action was inadvertent. She had a smile on her face, which made her look very friendly. The others might think that Sasha was scalded because of Amelia's negligence.

"With such low intelligence, how can you be my wife?" Lucian said and glanced at her.

Although these words were not comforting to hear, they sounded so sweet.

Amelia giggled and proudly said, "Fortune favors fools."

With a look of defeat across her face, Lucian said in a serious tone, "Be careful. Don't take Sasha's words to heart."

Amelia immediately straightened her posture and nodded approvingly, and with a little hesitation, she said, "But I feel terrible after hearing those words."

What Sasha said had something to do with Lucian. It's hard for her to not take them to heart.

"What did she say?" Lucian looked at her pursed lips and asked patiently.

Uh... Should she tell him? If she told the truth, Lucian would definitely be angry with Sasha. So after thinking for a while, Amelia chose not to tell the truth. She deliberately avoided the subject and asked whether he would go see Sasha.

"I was supposed to care about her, but she deserved it. Don't worry. Besides, Eric will come and tell me about her situation later." Lucian caressed Amelia's long black hair like it was no one's business.

Amelia was rendered speechless. She planned to visit Sasha during the lunch break. After all, it had something to do with her, and it was necessary to at least see if she was okay.

"I'm sorry. It is my fault that the meeting had to end so abruptly." She always felt guilty. No matter if what she did was right or wrong, she would take everything to heart as long as she was involved.

"Well, Amelia, your kindness doesn't mean that you can't tell right from wrong. If you still have a soft heart, this kind of situation will happen again." Lucian frowned as if he felt that she was too fond of taking responsibility for everything.

"Alright." Amelia nodded reluctantly. She did not know what more she could say.
