Chapter 73 Kent And Melissa Were Fired

Amelia stood up to get the door after hearing the knock. It was Sasha who was waiting to be let in. She wore dark makeup with matching red lips, which only made her look more intimidating. Sasha's face immediately changed when she saw that it was Amelia who opened the door. Amelia was about to greet Sasha, but the latter walked past her and went directly to Lucian's desk. She spoke almost seductively, "This is the sales report for this quarter, Lucian. I worked overtime last night to sort out the data. Please have a look."

"We're at the office, Sasha," Lucian replied without raising his head to acknowledge her. He reached out to take the papers from her hands and began flipping through the pages.

"Well... Mr. Lucian." Seeing that her seductive talk wasn't making an effect on Lucian, Sasha dropped the act and spoke formally.

Amelia sneaked back to her desk, careful not to make a noise lest she interrupt their conversation. Once seated, she tried to take a peek at what was happening over at Lucian's desk.

Sasha was wearing a form-fitting blazer paired with a very short skirt, which revealed her shapely figure. The black stockings and red high heels complemented her feminine charms.

"I got this. Thanks," Lucian said curtly, still scanning the document in his hands. He was completely ignoring Sasha.

"Are you free after work, Lucian?" Sasha asked softly. But since there were only three of them in the room, it was impossible for Amelia to not hear everything.

She braced herself while waiting for Lucian's reply. Amelia was afraid that Lucian would say yes, but she tried her best to look engrossed in her work to care.

Lucian raised his head to l

did remind Amelia to not let her emotions get the best of her.

As soon as Amelia stepped out of the office, Lucian called his assistant Eric and asked him to follow Amelia. "If anything happens, let me know," he ordered.

Melissa and Kent were about to enter the elevator when Amelia caught up with them. "Kent, wait!" she called out.

The two turned around at the same time to see Amelia trying to catch her breath. Kent looked surprised while Melissa looked displeased to see her.

"What do you want, Mrs. Amelia?" Melissa said, flipping her long hair. She didn't bother to hide the rudeness in her tone.

Smiling faintly at Kent, Amelia asked, "Can we talk for a bit?"

"You can say whatever it is you have to say right in front of me. I'm not leaving without Kent," Melissa interjected. Amelia's face was getting red out of annoyance. Kent didn't seem to want to make a reply.

Melissa clearly had a dominating personality. Amelia couldn't understand how Kent could've fallen for her.

Courtney would get capricious every now and then, but for most of the time, she had always been rather innocent. She listened to Kent and followed him, going so far as to argue with her family in order to defend their relationship. Amelia didn't expect that Kent's preferences in women would change.

"What do you say, Kent?" Amelia continued addressing her friend, not wanting to throw another glance at Melissa.

Embarrassed, Kent hesitated but eventually turned to Melissa. She was standing in front of the elevator door, tapping her foot impatiently. "Amelia's my friend. I want to talk to her alone."

Hearing this, Amelia wondered if he was still the same Kent she knew.
