Chapter 217 The Little Elf

Lucian was like a child who fought in the playground but wouldn't admit that he was in the wrong.

"He's lucky I'm not a child, because if I were, trust me—he would have already been beaten into a pulp!" Lucian shouted angrily.

His whole body then started tensing up, as if he was preparing to lunge towards Jonny once again. Before he could do that, however, Amelia stepped in to stop him. "This ends now, Lucian!" she firmly said.

Amelia got up this morning with a heavy heart. While she still had not gotten over the depressive episode she experienced yesterday, she knew that if she didn't do anything, the conflict would only get bigger.

"Amelia, I have one question in mind," Lucian said while knitting his eyebrows. He was still angry, and it was evident in his voice. Last night he found it hard to sleep: not understanding what Amelia was trying to do was only adding to his headaches.

"What is it?" asked Amelia while she was looking at Lucian's face. 'Does his anger have anything to do with me?' she thought.

While Lucian knew that it was a little disrespectful to ask Amelia in such a straightforward way, he knew that he wouldn't be able to get any kind of answer from Jonny. Because of that, he had no other choice but to do what he was about to do.

"How long have you known Jonny?" he asked quietly. The nature of Amelia and Jonny's relationship was still baffling to him. 'How did the two of them build such a deep kind of friendship when they just met!' he said inwardly, getting more and more frustrated.

Lucian asking Amelia about her relationship with Jonny was the last thing she expected from him. She wasn't able to conceal her astonishment and soon

t..." he said softly.

"Well, it seems that you're a little unhappy about it," Courtney replied as she noticed the sadness on Jonny's face. She stopped her teasing and said seriously, "As a couple, quarrels should be addressed early on so that it wouldn't grow into a deeper misunderstanding. Don't worry about them, Mr. Jonny, I know they will patch things up very soon!"

The moment Courtney finished speaking, someone knocked on the door of the CEO's office.

"See? They're here already!" Courtney said as she ran to open the door.

The expression on Jonny's face became even worse as his heart beat so fast.

"Wow, hi! Nice to meet you. Look at those happy faces. You two must have had a romantic date on the rooftop. Am I right?" Courtney teased upon seeing Lucian and Amelia in front of the door. They were smiling from ear to ear, and their fingers were interlocked.

Courtney's words made Amelia so shy that she had to lower her head.

"Well, why don't you two come in!" Courtney said, ushering them inside. When they came face to face with Jonny, Lucian couldn't help himself. "You win some, you lose some, Mr. Jonny. We came here to thank you in person!" His eyes went from Jonny to Amelia, as if signaling something.

Jonny forced a smile and said in a low voice, "You're welcome. And congratulations! It seems like the two of you are getting along incredibly well."

Upon hearing Jonny's voice, Amelia couldn't help but feel sad.

She had always been grateful for Jonny. Although Jonny hid the whole letter thing from her purposefully, he still had helped her a lot. 'Thank you so much, Jonny,' she said inwardly, mentally taking note of how he had saved her life.
