Chapter 38 You Are Not Jealous

When he took off his business suit, he revealed an ensemble of a bright orange sweater and crisp light gray jeans. This outfit made him look tall coupled with a pair of black boots that added to his cool vibe. Draped on his arm was a long coat that he carried elegantly.

It was no surprise Amelia fell head over heels for him. She only came back to her senses when Lucian's voice broke her reverie.

"I... Where are you going?" She felt as if Lucian was watching her very closely to which she responded with guilt and inability to form coherent sentences.

"Mr. Edmund An invited me to play bowling with him. You can come if you want," Lucian suggested as he gently looked at Amelia.

"Mr. Edmund... He's related to Shelly?" She was immediately able to put together that they shared a last name.

"Yes." In reality, Lucian wasn't too keen on going—he only agreed to the invitation out of respect and politeness.

"I'm fine. I can hang out with Courtney." Shelly was in love with Lucian and it didn't need to be mentioned that both their families wanted the two of them to end up together. Amelia figured she'd just be a nuisance if she tagged along as they went bowling.

It also didn't help that Shelly was shooting her death glares.

Frowning, Lucian seemed visibly disappointed. He had figured that Amelia would want to leave because of Shelly.

"Okay, I'll drive you there." Even though he didn't want her to leave, he still spoke to her softly.

"Really?" Amelia asked curiously with her eyes wide open.

"Yes." He nodded. What he really mean

her cheeks turned a hue of pink.

She couldn't get him off her mind. If she hadn't busied herself that afternoon, she'd probably be just daydreaming about him.

"Have a seat. I'll just clean up and I'll be back," Amelia said.

Lucian nodded, a faint smile appearing on his lips. He then took a seat and waited quietly for Amelia.

As soon as Lucian entered the shop, everyone turned to stare at him in admiration—some even murmured to each other how handsome he was.

"Amelia, you can leave. Kent's going to be here soon. Go on! Go with Lucian!" Seeing that Amelia was still working, Courtney went over to her and grabbed the tableware that she was holding.

"Fine, fine!" She didn't insist anymore since they were headed to Shelly's birthday dinner that night and she didn't want to make Lucian wait any longer either.

"You did a good job there," Lucian nonchalantly commented as he drove, his slender hands gripped on the wheel.

"Well, it's easy." She smiled lightly and averted her gaze. Then in a low voice, she asked, "Are your parents coming?"

"Yes." Lucian nodded and looked straight ahead. Then he added, "Shelly's father and my father are not just business partners, they're also old friends. They're probably going to catch up tonight."

"Okay," Amelia replied nervously.

Fannie didn't like her at all. To her, Amelia was a gold-digger who only married Lucian for his money. In addition to that, Amelia also ruined Lucian and Shelly's chances of getting married—something the Zhan and An family had been planning for the longest time.
