Convincing her (Jen and Lucas)

Chapter 187: Is something wrong with that?

Jen finally arrived at the company twenty minutes later and after calling Lucas, she was given a pass at the reception together with one of the restaurant staff. She went up with the first batch of food and to also show them where they will need to bring the food.

Jen's sudden appearance surprised the people working on the same floor as Lucas especially since she was being followed by what looked like waiters. Jen had her eyes fixed to one direction, which was Lucas' office.

If the floor was not carpeted, the sound of her heels would have echoed in the entire building. She gave polite smiles to the people that greeted her but did not slow down at all with her advance to Lucas' office.

The people following her had to half jog as they followed her. They didn't know someone could be so comfortable taking such long strides in heels. At the end of the corridor that ran alongside the cubicle was the glass door that opened into the secretaries' office.

The secretaries were startled when the door suddenly opened as a long black haired figure seemed to just pass by them before it stopped and turned to look at them. They finally recognised who it was when they turned around to look at them.

"Miss Larson," the secretary that worked directly under David said.

"Hi, I brought lunch today. Enjoy yourselves." Jen said with a dazzling smile and walked to David's office since that was the only way to get to Lucas' office.

David was expecting her since Lucas rushed the meeting they were in just five minutes ago. He had even sulked because the meeting ended twenty minutes later than the time he had spontaneously allotted. The only thing that saved everyone was the fact that Jen did not come earlier than she did.

"Hi, David" Jen said when she entered his office. Michael just briefly looked up but did not say anything. He still remembered how she had smacked him upside the head the other day.

"Hello Miss Larson," David said in response as he fixed his glasses.

"Is he inside?" she asked and David gave her a look that told her all she needed to know.

"I brought you lunch. I hope you enjoy it" Jen said with a smile.

"Thank you miss Larson," David said. He had even forgotten that people ate in the afternoons ever since he started working with Lucas.

"Mh, tell them to send the food in right now," Jen said and walked into Lucas' office. She wanted to tell them to bring it in after they served everyone but she doesn't know what position they would be in by that time.

Jen briefly knocked on the door to Lucas' office and entered without waiting for a response. The two waiters that were carrying their food followed behind her not long after and after being showed the table where they should set the food, the two of them quickly set up the lunch before they quickly left.

They weren't expecting that they would be able to enter this building, much less see Lucas Lewis so the whole ordeal made them really nervous. Lucas' staring did not help matters either. Jen stood in front of Lucas' desk with her hands crossed over her chest.

Lucas did not say anything but he sat and watched her. If anyone walked in they would leave after seeing the staring contest that was taking place in Lucas' office.

Lucas finally stood up and walked around his desk and stood at Jen's side while facing her, prompting her to also turn to look at him. Even though she had to lift her face to look at him, the clear annoyance in her face did not diminish.

"What is it?" Lucas asked when he realised that Jen was not going to say anything.

"Did you know that Tyler was at the parking lot of the university yesterday?" Jen asked.

"Mmh" Lucas admitted without any hesitation. Jen had already prepared her argument so when he admitted to it so easily she was at a loss for words.

"Why didn't you say anything?" Jen asked feeling annoyed that her fire had become so easily snuffed out by him.

"Is there a problem? Did he come to see you or anything?" Lucas asked with furrowed eyebrows.

"No but-. Wait why didn't you say anything?" Jen asked when she realised that her attention had diverted into another direction.

"I didn't think it was necessary," Lucas said with a shrug and went to sit on the sofa that was closest to the spread that had just been served.

"But-" Jen started but stopped talking when Lucas turned to look at her.

"Does it bother you that I didn't say anything?" Lucas asked. Jen bit her lip to stop herself from saying something reckless.

"Did he see us?"Jen asked not answering Lucas' question.

"Probably? is something wrong with that?"Lucas asked as he raised an eyebrow. For the first time, Jen felt chills run down her spine. When she looked at Lucas although he did not look angry, there was something in his eyes that made her feel a bit anxious.

"Of course nothing is wrong with it. It's just that everyone was talking about him on campus and I thought that he-" Jen's voice got smaller and smaller until it finally disappeared.

"Have I over-indulged you?" Lucas asked seriously.

"Eh?"Jen said not knowing where the conversation was going.

"Is that why you got me steak instead of seafood?" Lucas asked as he leaned back on the sofa. He had really wanted to eat earlier but now his appetite was completely gone. Jen was at a loss for words because honestly, that was the reason why she got steak instead of seafood for him.

"Were you angry that your ex-boyfriend saw your current boyfriend kissing you?"Lucas asked his eyes completely unreadable. Jen stood frozen on the spot, to be honest, she had been spoiled rotten by Lucas to the point where even as she thought about their current situation, she felt that she was going overboard with her behaviour. Especially since he worded what was happening in such a way.
