"Mrs. Amelia..." Eric nodded and greeted her with a big smile. He then immediately continued to work.
In the conference room, Amelia grew confused and did not know where to sit. Lucian gently pulled a chair right beside him.
'Yesterday, I could not eat because of sheer anger. How did he manage do subdue me with one passionate kiss?' Amelia thought to herself.
She felt that her heart had betrayed her. How could she forgive Lucian so easily?
"Here you go. Hope this cheers you up," Lucian said as he handed her a folded paper.
Amelia wanted to unfold the paper so bad. However, Lucian stopped her before she could manage to do so. "Don't unfold it in front of me, okay? It's too embarrassing," Lucian explained.
Amelia was surprised to see Lucian so coy. As a result, her curiosity about the paper's content intensified.
Soon, the shareholders came in one after another. Amelia stopped gossiping with Lucian and sported her game face.
With the same serious look, Lucian gestured that they be seated.
They sat down very close to each other. It made Amelia feel like they were once again in college.
Sasha then came in and began to check everyone in attendance.
It was mentioned that the meeting would proceed differently than usual, and the major stakeholders were fine with it. Soon everyone began to sign into attendance, then whispers engulfed the conference room.
Amelia tried to dismiss what she felt, but somehow she knew that some of the shareholders wer
the second one."
Amelia did not want to talk too much. She just wanted to air how she felt about the matters that were raised.
Fannie was in great distaste of Amelia's display. Provoked, the old lady stood up and said, "Then why didn't you say so before a consensus was reached? Please don't waste everyone's time with those crocodile tears of yours!"
All the shareholders nodded in agreement. They did not understand Amelia's reaction as well.
"I do not care what any of you think, but I'm afraid I cannot agree with the chairman's propositions." All of a sudden, Amelia was serious and assertive. She glared angrily at Nicholas, as if she were scolding a child.
Nicholas made those decisions out of good intentions, but it seemed that Amelia was yet to accept them.
Amelia soon left the room while everyone was still inside. Lucian immediately followed her.
Eric smartly redirected everyone's attention with his report. He flashed a presentation on last season's sales data, which captured all the shareholders' attention.
Amelia found herself running towards the CEO's exclusive elevator. Before the doors could shut, Lucian got inside the elevator with her.
Amelia was shocked by his presence. But the moment she saw Lucian, Amelia was no longer lost. She felt so relieved.
"It's no big deal. I understand why this makes you so anxious." Lucian took out a wet tissue and wiped Amelia's hands.
Lucian knew how much her hand was sweating throughout the meeting.
