Lucas drove to his office rather than go home immediately. He went in like he was sneaking in, and people did not recognise him because they never thought that he would come to the office wearing a hoodie and jeans.

At some point, he was stopped by security before reaching the elevators but when they saw his face, they found themselves apologising and letting him through.

Lucas couldn't even get annoyed since they were just doing their job. He quickly made his way into the elevator and quickly went into his office afterwards. He knocked on David's desk who was too busy to notice that he had entered the office.

"Oh, you're here," David said as he looked up from his laptop.

"Mmh, I wanted to work on a few things. I'll be back full-time tomorrow. If there is any urgent work bring it in for me" Lucas said and tapped twice on David's desk as he thought about what he had wanted to say.

He gave up on thinking about it and went to his office. He felt like he had forgotten about something important. 

Once he sat on his desk he automatically immersed himself in what needed to be done. David brought a stack of doc.u.ments that needed his reviewing before they were sent up to higher management. As David was leaving his office Lucas remembered what he had wanted to tell him.

"David, how are the arrangements with AT Technologies?" Lucas asked as he rhythmically tapped his pen on the desk.

"They will be arriving tomorrow. It seems like they will be here till Tuesday next week" David informed.

"Have you arranged their accommodation?" Lucas asked.

"Yes, we have arranged their accommodations at one of the company's hotels. It's the one in the city for convenience.

"Okay, make sure they'll be comfortable," Lucas said as he resumed his work. David nodded and left his office to go and handle his own things.

Lucas did not want to be seen as a petty person. Thinking that Tyler did not know of his relations.h.i.+p with Jen would make him too naive. It was easy for people in their circle to find such simple information.

Even though Jen did not know it, Lucas knew that Tyler had still been looking out for Jen. He found out after the night he saw someone take their picture when he was dropping Jen off at her house.

He had initially thought it was the stalker but it turned out to be someone that was hired as a private investigator to get information on how Jen was faring now that she had moved away from home.

He hadn't seen anyone suspicious after Jen moved in with him, but he was also not naive enough to think that it meant that Tyler did not have any feelings for her. If he did not care at all, he would have not made the effort to ensure her safety in the first place.

Lucas paused for a second before he smiled coldly, it looked even eerier because his dimples still appeared.

Fortunately, no one was in his office, if David was around he would have broken out into a cold sweat as he would be reminded of Noah except for the difference in the eye colour, Lucas was like a younger version of his father.

As expected, Lucas ended up spending hours in his office and his concentration was only disturbed when Jen gave him a phone call to go pick her up. When he looked at the time he saw that it was already past 4 pm.

He had only planned to be at the office for three maybe four hours, but he was not that different from the people who clocked into work that morning and left in the evening. 

Lucas set everything up for the next day before arranging the doc.u.ments into two different piles and put them in two different files.

He dropped what he had finished on David's desk on his way out and brought what he still needed to work on with him. As he drove to the university he called Jen once more.

"Where are you right now?" Lucas asked when Jen picked up her phone.

"The library. Are you here yet?" Jen asked curiously.

"I'll be there in two minutes. I'll be outside the library" Lucas said and hung up the phone. Jen looked at her phone and hoped that he would be outside the library without the car.

However, Jen realised that luck was not on her side when she stood outside the library building and saw Lucas wave at her from his car. She was really tempted to pretend that she did not know him but what was the point in doing so?

Jen resigned herself and walked to the car her heels making sounds as she slowly made her way down the stairs on the library entrance. Lucas, the gentleman that he is, got out of his car and ran up the stairs and took her bag before offering his arm for support.

Jen looked at Lucas before smiling and taking his arm. She couldn't bring herself to be angry at him. Once they finished the stairs Lucas opened the door for Jen before he placed her bag on the back seat and he too entered his car and drove off-campus.

As Jen was putting on her seatbelt she noticed the folder with office doc.u.ments in the back seat.

"You went to work today?" Jen asked as she looked at Lucas in confusion.

"Yeah, I stopped by," Lucas said completely downplaying the fact that he pretty much spent the whole day there.

"Wearing that?" Jen asked and pointedly looked at what he was wearing.

"Well, I took sick leave, I didn't have to show up today but I did, so no one is going to ask me about it." Lucas reasoned out.

"You spent the whole day there didn't you?" Jen asked him with a small frown.

"Are you hungry? Why don't we go out for a dinner date later? It's been a while" Lucas said changing the topic.

"Mmh, let's go home first," Jen said, deciding on letting him off. Lucas sighed in relief when she decided not to pursue the topic.
