It was 7 pm when Alex received a phone call from Jen. It was the first distraction she had gotten all day since her secretary had been intercepting any calls she had been getting. "Hi," Alex said as she stood behind her desk while watching Michael whose attention was focused on the documents that they had been working on. "Why aren't you picking up your phone?" Jen asked curiously. "Your boyfriend's assistant came today, it's important business so my phone was off," Alex said as she shrugged her…-

"Have you arrived?" Alex asked the moment she picked up her phone. She had been communicating with Lucas' assistant on the collaboration they were going to have with his hotel and was waiting to see the proposal that was prepared. "Yes, I'm still outside," Michael said as he was shrugging on his coat. He picked up his briefcase and locked the car and walked towards the restaurant. "Okay, just come in, I'm coming down to get you," Alex said as she stood up from her desk. Her office was on the second floor…

The holiday went by quickly and before they knew it, only two days were left before Christmas. Jen had arranged to have the lunch with her siblings before going to have fun with Lucas just by themselves. However, it was inevitable that these plans would end up getting ruined. Jen, who had decided that she would be sleeping in that day, was woken up by a call from Alex in the morning. She drowsily took her phone from the bedside table and checked for the caller before answering it. "Hello?" Jen mumbled as…

"What is it?" Lucas asked Jen, who came to sit on his lap. They had been interrupted by a phone call before, and since she had to plot to make things work, she hadn't gotten the chance to give a detailed explanation. "You called Ethan?" Lucas asked as he lightly bit the skin on her neck. Even though they had been interrupted, he was still in the mood to fool around with her. "I did, Leanna that girl…" Jen trailed off as the things Lucas was doing were very distracting. "What about her?" Lucas asked…

Lucas looked at Jen curiously as he was a bit confused about her reaction. He was only hoping that it was not bad news that made her react so strongly. "Have you thought about what you want to do?" Jen asked as she leaned against the wall while looking at Lucas. "I don't know what I'm going to do, I'm just confused right now and scared," Leanna said from the other side. She tried to sound strong, but Jen could hear her voice slightly shake as she was talking. Jen didn't think she should be alone when…

"It was nice meeting you today," Alex said to Lucas once their group walked out of the restaurant. "Mmh, my pleasure," Lucas said with a charming smile. "I'm also looking forward to our collaboration," Alex said with a rare to see smile. Lucas nodded and draped an arm over Jen's shoulders as he noticed that she started to tightly wrap her coat around her. "Brother-in-law, we need to hang out before you leave," Jake said with an enthusiastic expression. Last time Lucas had taken him skiing it was his…

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 collaboration 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…

"Big sis!" Jake shouted the moment Jen and Lucas walked into the restaurant and Je found herself airborne before she could understand what was happening. She was twirled around twice before her feet found the ground. She immediately hit Jake's arm and glared at him. Jake, on the other hand, was smiling so widely his eyes almost disappeared. "You've gotten taller," Jen said as she looked at him with a smile on her face. "I'm still growing, wouldn't it be stranger if I stopped growing?" Jake said before…

Jen parked the car in the parking lot of the "shop" that Lucas was talking about. They had gone there to get the car for the race in the first place but Jen thought it was just a normal garage initially only to be surprised by Lucas when he took her to the isolated road where the street race was going to take place. Lucas draped an arm over her shoulders once she got out of the car and the two of them went into the shop. "I brought back the car, with another one on top of it," Lucas said and tossed the…

Jen thought she knew the meaning of the word regret, but she was currently feeling what regret really was. When she had seen Lucas' smile mischievously at her when she asked him about what she wanted to do, she would not have dreamed that they would be here. "Since when did you have such a dangerous hobby?" Jen asked Lucas as she fastened her seatbelt. "This was how I met Brian after he returned," Lucas said with a bright smile as he fastened his seatbelt as well. Jen blankly looked at him before looking…
