After their lunch, Jen dropped Lucas off at the office before she went back home. Lucas walked into the office building completely aware of how people were trying to catch a glimpse of Jen.
Especially since it had taken him some time to get out of the car as he was persuading her to give him a goodbye kiss which she was very hesitant about because people would be able to see her since the car was not tinted.
She had reluctantly kissed him and drove off without hesitation once he was out of the car. She was clearly feeling shy, he knew this because her face was an interesting shade of red before she started rus.h.i.+ng him out of the car.
When he remembered the look on her face he couldn't help but smile. She could be really adorable at times.
"Someone is in a good mood" David commented when he saw how brightly Lucas was smiling after his lunch.
"Did something happen?" Michael asked curiously.
"Speaking of something happening, when am I going to get tomorrow's outfit?" Lucas asked remembering how he was lectured by Jen.
He normally did not give much thought to such things, if he didn't like what was prepared for him they would just look for something else for him.
Considering how long he had worked with David, it would be hard if he could not find Lucas something that would be to his taste. David wasn't that inefficient.
"It should come in later today, should I have it directly delivered to your hotel?" Michael asked. Lucas looked at David with a raised eyebrow. It looked like he had really decided to use Michael efficiently.
"Just send it over to the hotel" Lucas answered and went into his office. He opened the door again as soon as he closed as he forgot to ask David for something.
"Did the doc.u.ments I requested arrive yet?" Lucas asked.
"Not yet, but they'll send them over in the next hour or so. You're really p.i.s.sing off the directors you know?" David said in amus.e.m.e.nt.
"They can always resign. There are hardworking people who need promotions, it would be about time" Lucas said.
"Heh" David gave a short laugh. It was a response he head heard before from Noah when he used to work with him directly.
"Just bring them in once they arrive, or you can have Michael do it" Lucas said and glanced at Michael who had just lifted his head since he heard his name.
"Is there anything you need?" Michael asked innocently.
"That will depend on David," Lucas said and closed the door to his office. Michael looked at David in question but David didn't say anything and continued to work.
When Jen arrived at the hotel, she went to change in her room before going to spend more time with Laura and Rachel. Rachel had left the hotel immediately after Jen did to work on some things for the company so Jen only found Laura in the suite.
When she got in she saw the furniture in the living room was s.h.i.+fted and a yoga mat was placed in front of the large television.
"Were you working out?" Jen asked as she sat cross-legged on one of the sofas.
"I was trying to calm down" Laura answered as she picked up her water bottle and took a long drink from it.
"What happened this time?" Jen asked.
"James happened. What do I do?" Laura asked.
"Did you get more work?" Jen asked clearly amused. She had witnessed how Jason had dug a grave for himself when he was acting up with James so she would not be surprised if that was the case.
"I'm just frustrated to death. There is no progress whatsoever with him. I have even tried getting him to drink so that he would let his guard down. Who knew he never drinks unless there's a private occasion. He would not have a sip of wine even during dinner. Was he acting that way because of the wine he was guzzling at Lucas' party?" Laura complained. Jen listened attentively, even though she was not exactly worried about anything.
If James had changed his mind about Laura he would have said something already or ended whatever it was he was having with her. It would be out of character for him to lead her on. If he was toying with her, he would have done something already but he hadn't so there was one probability.
"You need to calm down," Jen said with a smile.
"I'm calm, if you came thirty minutes ago you would be able to tell the difference," Laura answered with a pout.
"Not about your mood, but your approach with him," Jen answered.
"Am I doing something wrong?" Laura asked genuinely confused.
"You, are coming off as desperate" Jen said bluntly and for the first time in a while, Laura could not argue with her about it.
