Addicted To Love

For their lunch break that day, Amelia was planning to meet with Sasha. She was already on her way to Sasha when she stumbled upon something quite surprising.

A female colleague called out Kent's name and when Amelia turned to look at the person, the guy was the Kent that she knew.

"Kent, why didn't you clear it up with your girlfriend?" the female furiously asked.

'Isn't Courtney Kent's girlfriend?' Amelia thought to herself silently. Amelia believed that their conversation had something to do with Courtney, so she decided not to make herself known and secretly listen.

"Melissa, it's not that easy to convince my girlfriend with just a few words. What's more, my girlfriend and I have been together for so long. If I suddenly told her about it, she won't be able to handle it." Kent tried to calm Melissa down by grabbing her arms and speaking to her in a self-pitying tone.

"I don't care about that. You and I both know what happened that night better than anyone else. If you don't want to lose your reputation in the Zhan Group, you know what you should do!" Finishing those words, Melissa pushed Kent away and walked away with heavy steps. The sound of her heels could be heard even after she had been gone for a few minutes.

Amelia was stunned. Although she wasn't sure if what she just heard was as she guessed, she could definitely feel that there was something wrong with Kent and Courtney's relationship.

'Should I go and ask Kent to be sure? I guess right now is not a good time,' Amelia thought to herself.

While she was still hesitating, Kent went on his way downstairs. It seemed like he finally decided to chase after Melissa.

For a while, Amelia stood at the stairs in a daze. She then remembered her plan to meet Sasha so she quickly headed for the elevator. She decided then that she would visit Courtney after work.

. But if he were being honest, he would like it if she called him like that on a daily basis.

"Amelia, I have goose bumps all over my body now," Lucian awkwardly said. Lucian gently pinched Amelia's cheek while his eyes were full of adoration towards her.

Amelia subconsciously pursed her lips. She remembered that she had to visit Courtney after work and had wanted to ask Lucian for permission. She was waiting for the right time when he would be in a good mood so she immediately tried to flatter him. Looking at him from below her lashes, she softly said, "Have I told you how handsome you are, today? Oh, what a lucky girl am I!"

Lucian narrowed his eyes in suspicion and felt that something was wrong. He carefully looked at Amelia and said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Hearing those words, Amelia was stunned. She figured that perhaps, her expression gave it away.

She thought that Lucian had already figured her out so there was no reason to beat around the bush anymore. She pouted and pleaded, "Mr. Lucian, can I go visit Courtney after work?" Courtney and Amelia had been best friends for so long. If something happened between Courtney and Kent's relationship, Amelia felt the need to help her as soon as possible. Otherwise, she would have failed as a friend.

"You don't have to ask for my permission if you're just going to visit your best friend," Lucian candidly spoke. He tried to hide the fact that he was actually uneasy with allowing Amelia to go to Courtney.

After the previous lies, he seemed to have a tinge of distrust towards Amelia's words.

Although what happened between Lucian and Jonny wasn't a big deal, the incident that happened ten years ago had caused some trauma to Lucian's heart. Even though Lucian's relationship with Jonny was not that deep, it ultimately ceased every bit of regard that he had for the man.
