Chapter 276: Invitation


    "Mmh, I asked him toe over, he said he''lle after work. I had to beg for him to clear up my schedule for that day, otherwise I wouldn''t have been able to function if I had to do all that after a shoot," Laura said.


    "Who else ising?" Jen asked as she walked out of the elevator and opened the door to the house. Jen thought she would find Lucas in the living room, but she found the house to be abnormally quiet.


    "I invited the girls and Daniel, I also asked Nancy and Leanna to bring the other guys over. I hope that covered everyone," Laura said.


    "Um, isn''t there anyone from work you want to invite?" Jen asked as she put her things on the couch and headed up the stairs.


    "I''ll think about itter. Girl, I have to go now, I left Rachel to cook, I have to go back before she gives me grief for cking off," Laura said and Jen couldn''t help butugh.


    After the two said their goodbyes, Jen cut the call and opened the door to Lucas'' room. She assumed that he was probably taking a shower or resting, but the room was empty.


    Jen furrowed her eyebrows and after ast look around the room, she closed the door and went to check for him in his study. Jen knocked briefly and then opened the door to the study.


    Fortunately, Lucas was working in his office. He looked up from hisputer when she walked in his office and smiled at her, showing off his dimplesin the process.


    He pushed the office chair he was sitting on away from his desk and walked to him and ced her hands on his shoulders as she looked down at him.


    "That was quick," Lucas said and pulled Jen towards him with his arm so she was sitting on hisp.


    "Mmh, I came home as quickly as I could," Jen said and leaned her head on his shoulder.


    "You''ve been busy recently. Do you have exams?" Lucas asked as he ced a kiss on her forehead.


    "Not yet, but finals areing up and I don''t want to be too far behind when we finally approach thest few weeks," Jen said as she was gettingfortable on hisp.


    "Ah~, but don''t overwork yourself. Take it easy" Lucas said to Jen, and she yfully red at him. He had finished first in his ss and was asking her to take it easy?


    "Do you want me to tell you to overwork yourself instead? Hmm?" Lucas asked as he bent to kiss her cheek before capturing her lips. Jen was not even given the opportunity to retort to what he said and could only kiss him back.


    "Have you eaten?" Lucas asked Jen in between kisses and she shook her head to say no.


    "I made dinner, it''s in the microwave" Lucas said after he briefly released her lips. Jen nodded as she breathed deeply and looked at him. Her cheeks were slightly flushed pink and her lips were also slightly swollen. Lucas'' gaze became nk for a second before he chuckled to himself.


    "What is it?" Jen asked in confusion.


    "You really don''t know what you do to me, huh?" Lucas asked before kissing her lips once more. Jen maintained her confused expression and Lucasughed before bending down once more and kissing her.


    "Are you free Saturday?" Jen asked Lucas when he finally released her once more. She chose not to dwell on what he said for too long and instead changed the topic.


    "Mmh, I have nothing nned, why?" Lucas asked curiously.


    "Good, Rachel and Laura moved out and they are having their housewarming on Saturday, let''s go together," Jen said with a smile. Lucas could obviously not refuse her, so he nodded in agreement.


    "That''s a relief, I''ve neglected you this week, I''ll make you a big breakfast tomorrow," Jen said as she got off hisp but she was pulled back to sit on it once more.


    "I''d prefer if youpensate meter, in my bed," Lucas said and Jen''s face flushed red.


    "You''re being shameless again," Jen said inint, and Lucas couldn''t help butugh in amusement.


    "Let me go freshen up first. I''lle back to apany you after I''m done with dinner," Jen said before she stood up from Lucas''p. This time, he did not stop her.


    "Mmh, there are just a few things I have toplete from work. I''ll finish in an hour or two," Lucas said as he watched her as she was standing in front of his desk.


    Jen nodded before she turned to leave. Lucas looked at her as she opened the door and shut it as she left his office. He smiled to himself as he pushed his chair back to his desk and resumed with his work.


    Jen went to her room and took a rxing shower and washed her hair. She felt like she could finally rx a bit since she had been in and out of her books for the entire week.


    By the time she walked out of the shower, her skin waspletely flushed as she showered with water that was borderline scalding hot.


    She put on arge bathrobe and wrapped her hair in a towel before walking out of her room and going to the kitchen. She found that Lucas had ted her food for her and left it in the oven so it would stay warm.


    She took out the te and set on the kitchen counter before going to make herself a cup of tea. After she had set everything she needed, she finally sat down and had her meal.


    She had eaten nothing since the previous night, so she was quitehungry. She noticed that she had lost some weight during the week, as she had beentoo focussedin her studies to eat most of the time.
