"The Zhan Group is the biggest company in the city. Why are you handing leaflets out here?" the young girl asked with surprise after recognizing her as the wife of Zhan Group's CEO.
"If you're a member of the Zhan family, shouldn't you be rolling in money?" Another girl butted in to ask.
Amelia didn't expect that Courtney's prediction would come true. Addressing the women, Amelia smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern. Yes, I do live a good life at home, but opening a flower shop has always been my dream. Now, I'm doing just that so I'm really happy."
Initially, Amelia didn't think to entertain these sorts of questions, but knowing how rumors could easily spread when ignored, she had to engage. She didn't care much about what other people thought about her, but cared about Lucian's reputation and Zhan Group.
"Oh, I see. Then, you won't mind if we look inside, will you?" The two girls understood what she meant, but then their curiosity was piqued.
Amelia wasn't done distributing leaflets, but she didn't want to ignore potential customers so she showed them inside.
"Oh! Well, the shop is well-decorated, but it doesn't offer a wide variety of flowers. The selection is okay, but it's not amazing," one of the girls said as she checked out the plants.
This comment didn't make Amelia unhappy. She smiled appreciatively and replied, "Thank you for your feedback. It will definitely help us improve our shop
"If I were you, I'd be considering my options now. I'm warning you, you could get into some serious trouble."
Niki froze in shock. She was still waiting for her boyfriend to answer, but her expression clearly betrayed fear.
The Zhan Group headquarters were relatively close to the flower shop. Amelia thought that it would take Lucian about half an hour to arrive, but he entered the shop about ten minutes after the call.
Dena looked as if she was about to faint. She held to her friend's arm and nearly screamed, "Oh, my god! It's Lucian. We're seeing Lucian in person. He looks even more gorgeous than in the photos!"
Niki also stared, her mouth gaping open.
"What happened?" Lucian asked calmly.
Biting her lower lip, Amelia looked at Lucian awkwardly. She was about to explain when Courtney interrupted, "You see this girl staring at you like a psycho? She's really obsessed with you. She threatened to cause trouble if we didn't call you."
Dena was trembling. There was fear in her eyes as she looked at Lucian, but there was also admiration.
Niki hurriedly apologized, "Mr. Lucian, I'm sorry. I... I'm sorry for bothering your wife. I didn't realize how much you cared for her. We're leaving you now."
Niki was then completely different from how she was earlier.
"Wow! If you're that good at acting, you should've been an actress!" Courtney said in a discontented tone as she crossed her arms over her chest.
