"So soon?" Tyler asked as he s.h.i.+fted his body to accommodate Naya who was trying to get comfortable on the bed. He never stayed in bed long enough to actually talk to his partner before Jen and Naya couldn't help but feel happy about what was happening. 

She had hoped that the call she had made yesterday to contact him would not be in vain and it seemed that things were working out fine.

Unfortunately, she had a nagging feeling that once she left whatever progress she had managed to make with him would become fruitless. It was the most crucial time for her if she planned on the relations.h.i.+p progressing even further.

It was quite unfortunate that she could not afford to delay her departure for any longer as she had gone to City X for an emergency meeting with one of the factories.

Her secretary had already returned to the office the previous day but she remained in City X so she would see Tyler. 

It hadn't even been that long but she had missed him enough to take a day off work. She was ready to sacrifice her weekend to compensate for it and even though the sacrifice did bear fruit, she felt that it was unfortunate that she would not be around long enough to actually make sure that it would actually amount to something.

"Mmh, I came to work in the first place. My company is still young so I'm quite busy, even though I would really like to stay back, I have to return to reality" Naya said as her fingers stroked his firm pectoral muscles.

"What time is your flight?" Tyler asked as his hand stroked the side of her body.

"6 pm," Naya answered once she was able to regain her composure.

"Then we still have time," Tyler said and Naya found herself flipped over on the bed. She had really managed to get herself in a bind

Jen stopped the car in front of Lucas' office and called him so he would come outside. In another five minutes, Lucas walked out of the office building without his jacket or tie and the first two b.u.t.tons of his s.h.i.+rt unb.u.t.toned. He did not pause at all and went directly to the pa.s.senger's seat of the car and got inside.

"Did you wait long?" Lucas asked as he fastened his seatbelt. Jen looked at him warmly with a bright smile on her face as she shook her head.

"Not really" Jen replied and turned the car on before driving off. The employees were confused about what they had just seen since Lucas rarely looked casual in the office.

It was a good look on him with his throat and forearms exposed as he had folded his s.h.i.+rt and on top of it, he had gotten into a woman's car. Everyone's curiosity was piqued except for the few who were aware of his relations.h.i.+p with Jen.

The two of them drove off and since Jen didn't ask for where he wanted to go he figured that she must have a place in mind already. They chatted on their way to the restaurant and not ten minutes later, the two of them arrived.

Before they got out of the car, Lucas grabbed onto Jen's arm and before she could say anything, he kissed her deeply. After the initial surprise, Jen was able to reciprocate the kiss that she had just received.

"You surprised me," Jen said once they separated.

"I couldn't hold back, you look beautiful," Lucas said with a smile his dimples making an appearance. 

Jen still did not know how Lucas could make such comments with a straight face. She felt embarra.s.sed enough for the both of them.

"Ahem, thank you. We should go in or we'll be late for our reservation" Jen said as she cleared her throat. She was really running away from Lucas' cheesiness otherwise she couldn't help but think that she would expire before they even got to lunch.

The two of them walked into the restaurant together, managing to draw attention to themselves even though they weren't dressed in such a way that they would draw attention to themselves.

They were led to a private booth by one of the waiters and they placed their order. Lucas was in a good mood as they were in a seafood restaurant. It was obvious that they were there because Jen had remembered what he said about enjoying seafood.

"What time will tomorrow's event start?" Jen asked.

"Around 10 pm I believe, at least that's the time that I'm supposed to be there" Lucas answered as he gulped a mouthful of water.

"Ah~ did you get your clothes ready? You said that David was going to be the one preparing them for you" Jen asked.

"Well-" 

The two of them continued to talk about the next day's plans throughout lunch and Lucas ended up being nagged at endlessly for not knowing what he was going to be wearing.
