Suddenly Amelia realized she was actually getting teased by her husband. She stopped moving and glared at Lucian furiously.
Watching his wife sulking cutely, Lucian smirked. He enjoyed teasing his sweet wife, but couldn't see her irked for a longer period. Clearly she was annoyed right now. Thus he coaxed, "I apologize sweetheart. It's just I enjoy it a little too much when you care for me like this. This won't happen again. I promise." To emphasize his words, he touched his right hand to his heart as a promising gesture.
Amelia rolled her eyes at his drama. He sometimes behaved like a child. But this new found goofiness in him was although absurd, she had started to like this side of him. She stared into his eyes and all her vexation melted away. She slapped his hand away as a playful gesture and huffed, "So, you didn't mean I treated you poorly? Because, it definitely sounded so."
"Oh! Did it?" Lucian teased her once more. Then smiled watching her pout again, "Oh! My sweet wife. Of course, I didn't mean that." He continued after a small pause, "You know what? You are the most beautiful and courteous wife in the whole world." He took the opportunity of her speechlessness and pulled her flush against him. Amelia blushed in his arms and giggled, "Having a sweet talk. Are we?" Although she said that verbally, but she was beaming like crazy. His love made her heart swell.
"However, Mrs. Amelia," Lucian started in a complaining tone, "You've committed an offense just now. Your harsh strike upon my delicate feet has hurt me something serious." Lucian murmured in her ears flirtatiously as he pulled her even closer.
Amelia almost believed him at first. She frowned at first then when she realized his intention, she played along. "Really? Then we should visit a doctor immediately. Is there a doctor's clinic nearby?"
"Oh! No need for that. Besides, it's just early morning. No doctor is available now except..." Lucian breathed, "If you wish, you can cure me pretty quickly." Soon after saying so, without giving her any time to respond, he pressed his lips on hers and concealed every worry she might be having in her heart.
Throughout the week after the New Year, they would visit shopping malls, movies and other places during the day and at night, after returning home, Lucian would treat her extra special. Amelia really thought they were living a cute couple life literally.
However the good time passed by quickly and it was time for Lucian to leave for his work. Even so, Amelia wasn't really upset, because she k
e door itself opened. She noticed the impatient girl opening the door and entering the office without asking for her permission.
"Mrs. Amelia, I didn't dare to bother you to open the door for me. So I have to push the door open and come inside. I hope you don't mind." It was Sasha, who spoke with a mischievous smile on her face. Amelia observed her appearance carefully. She was actually looking professional wearing a high waist pencil skirt with a white blouse.
Amelia didn't like that smile on her face, but she returned her with a polite smile. She poured a glass of tea then gave it to Sasha. "What can I do for you, Miss Sasha?"
Sasha took the cup and took a small sip from it. Then with a scornful smile, she intoned, "Mrs. Amelia, you're not at all experienced in making tea, are you? I don't think you have the nerve to bribe your employees."
Amelia was flabbergasted. Sasha's words stung as she stood there immobile, stunned completely. With a tight lipped smile on her face, she said, "Listen Sasha, I don't think I'm doing this to bribe my employees. Besides, I don't need to show off my skills, to anyone for that matter."
"Then why are you doing all this? To kill your time?" Sasha had deliberately provoked Amelia. And it was certainly intentional. But Amelia didn't want to spoil both her reputation and mood for her. So, she warned, "Miss Sasha, if you don't have anything else to talk to me, please excuse me and leave." She had to serve tea and coffee to the staff of two departments.
"I know that Lucian loves you very much. But do you ever felt, that you're no match for him? You don't even have any idea about how to help him with his work? Do you?" Aware that Amelia was trying to avoid her mocking, Sasha pressed on. She said straightforwardly, "The stock market has fallen recently. And the Zhan Group is affected. So, Lucian has gone on a business trip because he has something urgent to deal with. So, I'd suggest, you stop making trouble for him and leave the office."
"What did you say?" Amelia anchored her full attention on Sasha and asked. She had no idea about that. It made her worried in an instant.
"You wouldn't understand even if I tell you in details. I just came here to kindly remind you not to cause any trouble to Lucian." By saying so, Sasha reached for the door. Before leaving she glanced back at her one more time and gibed, "You should have known the difference between Lucian and you before falling in love with him. Serving him tea and drinking with him can't solve the problem for him."
