Usually when Lucian returned home, he always had a bright smile on his face. But his face looked cold and pale today. Amelia got little uncomfortable seeing the expression on his face.
"Amelia, I think the most important thing between a couple is trust. Isn't it?" He asked Amelia to sit down because he wanted to talk about something important. Lucian looked at her with his deep eyes and held her hand. "You know there is CCTV in the Zhan mansion. Why did you lie?"
It turned out that Lucian was not happy about it.
"Sorry, I didn't tell you about it in advance. I didn't want to cause any sort of misunderstanding." Amelia apologized to Lucian as she felt guilty. The fault was on her side.
Lucian felt sorry for Amelia, by seeing the sad look on her face. After all, he loved her so much and couldn't help keeping her sad any longer. Lucian was puzzled with mixed thoughts. But he knew that she deliberately concealed it and this made him uncomfortable.
"If you don't want me to get you wrong, saying the truth is important. Right?" Lucian was trying to figure out Amelia. He just couldn't get her.
Lucian wouldn't make blind and disorderly conjectures. But he was displeased because she intended to conceal the truth from him.
"I'm sorry sweetheart. Jonny called me last night. He said his mother was sick and asked me to visit her. I was afraid that you might misunderstand the whole situation, so I didn't tell you." Amelia had no intention to hurt Lucian. Somehow, everything turned out to be this way. She could no longer disappoint him, so she decided to tell the truth.
"Why doesn't his mother go to the hospital when she is sick but let you to see her? Don't you feel inconvenient with your pregnant belly? Have you forgotten what Shelly did to you last time? Darling, you have to take care." Lucian bombarded a series of questions at Am
e phone," Sasha said wickedly.
Amelia frowned and said coldly, "Okay, I'll call him later. Thank you!"
"Hey, Amelia, don't hang up. I have something to tell you." Sasha's sudden coquettish voice irritated Amelia. She was already tired after Courtney's visit.
But Amelia decided to be polite and said, "Please go ahead, Miss Sasha."
"Amelia, it sounds like you are jealous. Doesn't it? You needn't be jealous. I am the employee of the Zhan Group now. It's my duty to answer the phone for my boss. We are so familiar with each other since the beginning. Don't you think it's too unreasonable for you to be upset like this? You are educated. I assume you would understand." Sasha's tone was very soft on the phone. But it made Amelia feel very uncomfortable because she didn't expect this situation. Needless to mention, Amelia was a bit possessive about Lucian.
Amelia didn't have a good impression of Sasha. She had been very rude to Amelia during her working days at the Zahn group. Sasha insulted her a number of times before and those memories stuck to her forever.
"Miss Sasha, please don't worry. I'm not mad. Bye!" Amelia was about to hang up.
"Are you angry? I didn't mean to....." Suddenly, Sasha smiled and continued, "I begged you to speak for me in front of Lucian last time. But you rejected my offer resolutely. I had to rely on my own abilities to enter the human resources department for an interview. I didn't expect that I would pass. Now I am a qualified staff of the Zhan Group and I have resumed to my original post. Kind of proud you know!" Sasha was sarcastic while she talked to Amelia. It was almost like she wanted to tear Amelia apart.
"Congratulations, Miss Sasha. I'm glad." Amelia knew that Sasha was angry with her refusal to put in a good word for her in front of Lucian. But she decided not to extend the conversation.
