Chapter 65 An Accident

"Courtney went missing inside your restaurant. If you can't find her, you shall be hold responsible for this..." Amelia couldn't finish her words as she suddenly felt her strength cut loose and her body collapsed on the ground. She couldn't push herself up as she was already too weak to even voice out another word.

In front of her, the man was unperturbed hearing her lash out against him. He walked closer and crouched just an arm's length away from where she laid, the expression in his eyes showed a complicated gaze. He stretched his hand touching the tips of her hair and gently flipped it behind her shoulders. He then spoke, "Don't worry Miss Amelia. I will take care of it and will take the responsibility."

"What are you doing?" Amelia shouted as she was caught in surprise by the man's actions. She felt angry and furiously shook off his hand sending back a glare.

She was currently feeling an immense pain in her body, and it certainly pressured her remaining strength to fight back as she was instantly driven by annoyance. She would never allow anyone to touch her even in such a dire situation.

"Mr. Chen, we have found the lady." The tense atmosphere was then immediately interrupted by a voice. From the corner, a tall and thin figure of a young man in work attire came over and reported respectfully.

Hearing those words, Amelia whipped her head to the person who spoke and eagerly asked for confirmation, "Is that true? You said you have found her?"

"Miss Amelia, it's not a big deal. Don't be so anxious. Here, let me help you out," the strange man spoke up instead and answered her. He was still close to her and gestured to help her with a stretched hand once again. A big smile was plastered on his face.

Hearing the confirmation that Courtney was already safe, she finally felt relieved. She looked back at the strange man and hesitated to accept his help. She still acted stubborn and tried to get up, but fell in deep trouble. She found that she couldn't move an inch. She kept her stubbornness as she didn't want to be supported by the man but she knew that this was not the time to keep up with such attitude as she still needed to get down the stairs.

She had no other choice but to accept the man's help as she was supported to stand up and was led through the way.

With

d something vaguely.

"Yes, I do," she replied in a low voice. She knew she made a mistake. As soon as she realized that she had made a mistake, she hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry. Because there was something wrong between Courtney and Kent, I accompanied her..."

"I didn't sleep until five o'clock in the morning. I'm exhausted now. You'd better stay in my arms, or you'll pay for it," Lucian cut her off and warned her coldly.

He spoke each word in a firm tone, appearing as if he was really angry.

"You didn't sleep until five o'clock this morning?" Amelia was shocked and asked once more. She lifted her head and tried to get a good look at him. However, Lucian held her tightly that she couldn't move a little.

"Because of you," Lucian continued to speak in a cold voice, already on the verge of losing his patience. He then threatened, "Amelia, you'd better not say any words, or I will..."

Naturally, Amelia understood what Lucian meant by his words. She wasn't that stubborn enough to continue and provoke him. She shut her mouth and buried her head into his arms, as if a soldier was dodging the attack from a bomb.

Burying her head in Lucian's chest, Amelia was feeling guilty that she wouldn't dare take a deep breath. But in time, she felt suffocated and couldn't breathe well. She unconsciously took a deep breath and unfortunately, waked Lucian up.

Luckily, Lucian didn't say anything. He just moved to hug her closer and then continued to sleep. His breathing was slowed down once more as he was back to sleep.

Amelia on the other hand, also wanted to stay in his arms obediently, but she was not used to this gesture. She tried to relaxed herself but the point was that she couldn't breathe smoothly...

She had no idea that her small actions were like a restless kitten in Lucian's arms, rubbing herself against him.

On the other side, Lucian was now fully awake. Her little actions kept on pricking his senses to be completely awake once again. He opened his eyes and looked at her coldly. He then ordered, "Amelia, write a two-thousand-word self-criticism and give it to me before the dinner."

Right after the last word, Lucian turned over to the other side and went back to sleep. Amelia was once more stupefied, eyes wide opened as she couldn't believe what just happened!
