Chapter 327: Meeting the Siblings.


    Both Jen and Lucas had had a lot of fun on the first week at City K. Jen had gotten the chance to spend time with both her siblings and Lucas. Lucas had yet to properly meet Jen''s siblings but with his instructions, Michael was already working on the proposal for the coboration with L.L Hotels so he had been busy contacting David for materials and consulting Lucas on areas he was unsure of.


    Jen thought he would protest because he was on break just as she was but when she saw how bright his eyes were whenever he was working or receiving praise from Lucas she couldn''t bring herself to say anything to him. He was clearly enjoying how busy he was.


    The day finally came when Lucas was going to meet Jen''s siblings. Jen had made arrangements for them to meet for dinner and was currently getting ready while Lucas was in the shower. She looked at herself in the mirror with a smile because she looked good, but at the same time, she wished for winter to end quickly when she thought of how she was going to cover up her dress with a coat because it was cold.


    "You look beautiful," Lucas said from behind her as he stared at her from the bathroom door. She was wearing a long-sleeved grey wool dress with a pair of ck stockings she had even curled her hair and it fell down her back in waves.


    "Thank you," Jen said as she sat down in front of her dresser to put on some light makeup. Lucas went to get ready as well. Lucas walked out twenty minutester in a ck turtleneck and grey cks while holding his coat in his hands.


    "Are you ready?" he asked as he watched her apply lipstick which she put in her purse before standing up.


    "I''m done," Jen said with a smile as she turned to look at Lucas. Her eyes narrowed yfully as she looked at what he was wearing. She nodded her head in approval as her smile grew wider.


    "What? You like it?" Lucas asked as he turned around so she could look at him properly, making herugh in amusement.


    "Mmh, I like it very much," Jen said as she went to stand in front of him and fiddled with his clothes.


    "Me too," Lucas said and pulled her in his arms. He was feeling touched by the small gestures she normally does for him that are very easy to ignore, but he couldn''t help but notice them.


    "Mmh, you smell good," Jen said after audibly sniffing his neck.


    "Should we cancel dinner?" Lucas asked as his hands slid from her waist down to her butt. Jen quickly pulled back with augh and picked up her purse.


    "Let''s go, quickly," she said as she walked out of their bedroom as fast as possible. She was almost tempted out of their meeting by him if she listened to him. She didn''t know how she was going to exin herself to her siblings.


    Lucas followed after her in long strides, and after checking that he had his wallet and car keys, they both left the suite.


    Jen and Lucas had arrived at the restaurant before her siblings. They had gotten a private room because it would be easy for Lucas to be recognized, as the patrons that frequented that restaurant were people from their circle.


    "Can I get a cup of tea?" Jen said when the waiter came in with the menu. They weren''t going to order anything until both Alex and Jake arrived.


    "I''ll have water," Lucas said when the waiter looked at him to check if he needed anything.


    When he brought their drinks, Lucas told him they''ll order once the rest of their party arrives and the waiter was dismissed.


    Jen was holding the cup in her hands as she took a moment to stare at Lucas before drinking her tea and putting her cup down.


    "Are you still cold?" Lucas asked as he looked at her and she nodded as she rubbed her hands together. Lucas moved from his seat across her to next to her and pulled her closer to him before holding her cold hands in his to warm them.


    "Are you nervous?" Jen asked curiously as she looked up at his face that currently held a focused expression as he was concentrating on warming her hands.


    "Should I be?" Lucas asked without looking up.


    "No, it''s not like they''ll eat you," Jen said as she twined her fingers with his. Lucas looked at her with an amused smile. It was this scene that the siblings walked in on.


    "Brother-inw!" Jake said brightly as he walked into the room and the couple both looked up as they had been focused on each other. Jen''s cheeks became pink and almost pulled her hands away, but Lucas'' hold was already firm so she gave up before even attempting to do so.


    Alex walked in behind Jake and looked at the two of them before smiling in greeting. Lucas stood up from his seat and shook hands with both of them with a friendly smile on his face. Alex smiled back at him while feeling a bit awkward before paying attention to Jen.


    Jen continued to observe them with an amused smile on her face. Especially since she knew how awkward Alex normally got with strangers.


    From the moment they sat down, Jake started chatting enthusiastically with Lucas. Jen knew that the two had gotten closer as they had met without her after Jake had managed to rope Lucas in for lunch when they previously met at her restaurant.


    In contrast to Jake who was talking non-stop, Alex was observing Lucas quietly as she sipped on a ss of juice.


    "Why are you so quiet?" Jen asked in a low voice so as not to disrupt Lucas and Jake''s conversation.


    "I was just watching him," Alex said and blinked her blue eyes at Jen innocently.


    "And?" Jen asked.


    "You have very good eyes, he''s very handsome," Alex answered and for some reason, Jen felt embarrassed by her response. Alex enjoyed looking at good-looking people. That was why she had been silently observing Lucas. Besides that, they did not have much to discuss as it was the first time that the two of them were meeting.
