Chapter 279: Back at the office.


    Jen walked into therge building, the automatic doors sliding open as she got close enough. She then made a beeline to the reception desk as she was told by Lucas that he would prepare the pass she would need to walk into the office building.


    "Good afternoon," the receptionist said with a smile so bright Jen couldn''t help but smile back at her. She took off the sunsses she was wearing just in case before responded to her greeting.


    "Good afternoon. I have an appointment with Lucas Lewis" Jen said and the receptionist took a bit of time to respond.


    It was not entirely her fault as she had heard of her colleagues describe Lucas'' girlfriend as being too beautiful. She was able to lookposed with part of Jen''s face hidden but after she removed her shades she was struck dumb. She had momentarily forgotten how to speak.


    "Are you okay?" Jen asked when she saw the girl not responding for a few seconds.


    "Ah, yes, I''m fine. What time was your appointment?" the girl asked. These were standard questions so she could gloss over them regardless. Fortunately, Jen was good-natured and wasn''t offended by the question.


    "He told me to just go up when I arrive, but he is expecting me," Jen said and watched as the girl made a call before giving her a card marked as a guest and directed her on how to get to Lucas'' office just in case she did not remember. Jen smiled politely and thanked her before leaving for the elevators.


    When the elevator doors slid open to show the now-familiar office space, Jen couldn''t help but smile. She remembered thest time she hade here she had had a proper fight with Lucas.


    Although calling it a proper fight was a bit debatable considering how the whole issue ended up being resolved, but it had been their first serious fight.


    As it was just a few weeks ago, Jen couldn''t help but feel nostalgic. As she was walking towards Lucas'' office, the employees on that floor all greeted her as she was passing by.


    It was as if they were hoping that they had made a good enough impression on her as it looked like Lucas was now quite serious about her and none of them wanted to end up offending her, even if it was not deliberate


    "Wee miss Larson" Jen heard one of the secretaries say the moment she walked into the office. She smiled a bit sheepishly as everyone''s attention was focussed on her.


    "Ah, yes thank you. Unfortunately, I didn''t bring anything for you today, I''ll make sure to do so the next time Ie here" Jen said to the secretary. She was still getting used to this kind of office atmosphere.


    "There is no need at all. Mister Lewis asked us to tell you to walk right in once you arrive" the secretary said with a smile even though she was feeling quite flustered.


    "Ah, thank you. I''ll be going then" Jen said with a pleasant smile before she went further into the office. She was expecting to see David and Michael but neither of the two men was around. She shrugged her shoulders and went into Lucas'' office.


    Lucas was busy, as he usually was when Jen entered his office. He looked up from hisputer when he heard the door to his office open and a smile broke out on his face when Jen walked in.


    Jen closed the door behind her, her eyes never leaving Lucas'' face while a smile hung off her lips. She still thought that he was a different type of sexy whenever he had his sses on.


    "Sorry I couldn''te and get you," Lucas said as he noticed the wet umbre that she had with her. He hadn''t realised that it was raining so heavily.


    The windows to his office were closed, and heavy curtains covered them making people unable to know whether it was morning or night because it was a bit dark.


    "It''s okay, it''s not like I was doing anything important prior toing anyway," Jen said as she walked to the front of his desk and leaned over curiously to look at what he was doing in hisputer.


    "I''ll be done in ten minutes then we can go out. Is that okay?" Lucas asked as his attention was returned to his work.


    "No problem, I''ll just wait for you. I''m starving, I hope you have a good ce in mind" Jen said and kissed his cheek before pulling back and going to sit on one of thefortable couches in his office.


    Lucas briefly looked at her with a foolish smile on his face before he continued busily working. Jen removed her coat and ced it next to her before pulling out her phone from her purse.


    She went through her social media and saw that Jason was filming. She chuckled in amusement, especially since it was something he had not wanted to do and was stuck doing it because he was hell-bent on pissing off his brother.


    It was even funnier because he did not look like he was enjoying it but he strategically made it seem like he wanted to show a new side of himself to his fans.


    It wasn''t like he was acting for the first time, it was just that he was always acting in movies that had serious plots, which was different from what he was doing now since it was only going to exploit his looks and a majority of his gullible female fans.


    She was sure they were paying him a lot of money, otherwise, she really didn''t see him, nor James approving of the project if they were not at least willing to pay for it. She would have to make time to watch the drama with Lucas because she thought he would have a field day seeing his brother acting in something so cringy.
