Chapter 426: She became like this.


    Lucas had been the very definition of busy for the past few days. He woke up ridiculously early, went to work, went to university, called Jen, before either doing some extensive reading or working some more.


    It would have been fine if that was all he had to deal with, but his ex was also being a nuisance and he was currently very close to letting HR deal with her. He was d that he did not have all the three sses he normally had to attend and would only end up in one or two sses together.


    The one thing that he has been looking forward to was Jening to visit him. He would have gone to pick her up at the airport if he could have his way, but he still had to attend sses, so he could only arrange for a driver to pick her up and drop her off at the hotel.


    He had been in such a good mood since the previous day that even the directors were surprised. He had calmly corrected any mistakes they made with no repercussions. There had been a high tension atmosphere since he arrived, and they had gotten some reprieve since the previous day.


    Lucas was in such a good mood that even though ire had forced herself to sit next to him, he did not care and just snubbed her through the entire ss. It was hisst ss of the day and once the professor said it was over; he had almost bolted out of the lecture hall. His woman was waiting for him at home!


    ire looked at Lucas who was stuffing his things in his bag hurriedly and she became curious. Before she could ask him anything, he had already gotten up and was leaving the lecture hall. It was already night time, but the university was brightly lit as there were still sses going on until 10 pm.


    There was a faint smile on his lips as he walked towards the campus gates,pletely unaware of his surroundings. As he looked up, he saw his driver had stopped the car in front of the gate and his steps became a bit more rushed. What he was not expecting was for the back door to open and Jen to step out.


    Lucas stopped walking, seemingly frozen in ce. Jen got off the car and turned to see if Lucas had already gotten out of ss. As her eyes wandered for a few seconds, she finally saw Lucas standing in the crowd. Her eyes brightened before a dazzling smile appeared on her face. The mysterious beauty had drawn quite a bit of attention. Jen waved at him, but he did not take one step forward as he continued to stare at her.


    ''Fine, if you won''te to me, I''ll go to you'' she thought and walked past the front gates towards him. She got impatient and the brisk walk turned into a jog. Lucas seeing her running towards him with her heels worriedly walked forward. What if she fell down?


    Just like a scene from a movie, the student watched as this pair of beautiful people ran towards each other. When Jen was just a step away from Lucas, she threw herself into his arms and Lucas caught her easily. With his hands around her waist, he spun around a few times, both from happiness and also because he would have had to take a few steps back from the force of her jump.


    Lucas put her down when he felt her pat his shoulder and looked at her with his heart in his eyes. Jen held his face in her hands and pulled him down for a kiss. Lucas readily cooperated with and with his hands still around her waist, and the two embraced as they kissed.


    It was like they had tunnel vision; they did not notice the world around them at all, and all they could see was each other.


    ire who had been trailing behind Lucas felt like her world flipped upside down. When had he been so good to her when they dated? He had been too busy to even take her out on proper dates.


    She had chased after him and seeded, but although she enjoyed sleeping with him, she was not a priority to him even after eighteen months of dating. That was why she ended it. Now, after seeing him again after two years, she felt the same excitement she did when she was with him before.


    Now seeing how happy the two seemed, she felt unreconciled. If he treated her like he was treating thedy he was kissing, then she would not have dreamed about leaving him.


    "I came to find you," Jen said while standing pressed against and looked into his hazel eyes that were looking at her through the lens of his sses.


    "You should have gone home to rest," Lucas said and held her hand before they continued to walk towards the car.


    "I didn''t want to stay there alone, so I came to pick you up," Jen said and smiled happily at Lucas. Lucas leaned down and kissed her cheek before he too smiled at her.


    The two got into the car and the car rushed off. Some people had been nonchnt about their interaction, but they had drawn the attention of quite a number of people. Lucas had be quite popr at the campus, so the two had drawn the attention of quite a number of people. There was even a fan club for him on campus where they uploaded candid photos of him.


    They had just assumed that he was single and that he was an indifferent person, now seeing that he was able to smile like that had left most of them in a trance. Lucas waspletely oblivious to the waves that he and Jen had caused and was holding his girlfriend in his arms as she rested against him.


    She took a deep breath, and his clean scent filled her nostrils. She really feltfortable after seeing him once more. As Jen was acting spoiled, she finally realised what she had done at the campus. She was normally ufortable with disying her affections publicly. Now that she did the same things as those ''annoying'' couples do, she felt embarrassed.


    "What is it?" Lucas asked her when he noticed that she had zoned out on him.


    "Will you be okay? I didn''t ruin your reputation or anything, right? I was being impulsive, I" Jen started rambling and only stopped after the sound of Lucasughing interrupted her.


    "I don''t mind, you are my girlfriend after all, if you want to kiss me, don''t hesitate," Lucas said and rubbed her head. Jen looked at him, trying to read his mood before she nodded and epted his words.


    "Did you wait for me for long?" Lucas asked her and she shook her head to say no. She came to pick him up after going to her restaurant and ordering some food for the both of them. She was thankful that she had a branch here.


    "Tired?" Lucas asked, and she looked at him. He looked tired, now that he was rxed. She could see the dark circles he had developed and felt her heart ache.


    "I''m fine, you, on the other hands, look tired," Jen said and brushed her fingers across his chin. She could feel the faintly feel the stubble that had already developed.


    "Mmmh, I''m exhausted. I''m sleeping in tomorrow," Lucas mumbled and held her closer to him, resting his chin on her head.


    Jen hugged his waist and the two of them stayed like that until they arrived at the hotel. When the car stopped, Lucas who had already dozed off woke up from the quick nap he had. He did not have to worry about falling asleep today because Jen was around. He had no ns of sleeping early today.


    The driver went to open the door for the two and when Lucas got out of the car; he held out his hand to support Jen. The driver went to the trunk of the car and took out her luggage which was received by the hotel staff and the couple disappeared into the hotel with the staff trailing behind them.


    Jen waited for her luggage to arrive before she rxed in the suite. She removed her shoes and flexed her toes a few times before breathing a sigh of relief.


    When she turned her head, she saw Lucas in the kitchen taking out a few bottles of water. He walked towards her and handed her a bottle.


    Jen looked at him and whistled in her heart. Unlike the ck shirtst time, he was wearing a white one, with his sleeves folded up and a few buttons opened. She suddenly remembered how she had promised herself that she was going to do it with him with his sses on. She may have to apologise to Lucas because she does not think she can let him sleep early today.


    Lucas looked at the fire in Jen''s eyes and even though he too wanted her, he could stop the feeling of helplessness he felt. When had his shy and bashful girlfriend be like this? She looked like she was already imagining the two of them were going to be doingter.
