What Jen did not know was that Lucas was not a complete noob when it came to business. The L.L Hotels brand was his, and it was the reason he had been too busy to take his exams the previous year. Even though he had managed to open his own chain of hotels, their circumstances were obviously very different. Unlike Jen who was struggling at the time, Lucas had had the funding and connections, and this project was assigned to him by his father who had recommended a team of experts that had helped him.

Jen saw the cab parked out front when she got out of the hotel and quickly went inside. She gave the taxi driver the address to Lewis & Co. before they drove off. She sent Lucas a message to tell him that she was on her way before putting her phone back in her purse. Fortunately, the ride was not long and she soon arrived at the company. She quickly paid the driver before heading inside. The temperature dropped the moment she stepped inside making her feel slightly refreshed since it was so hot outside.…

Lucas went to work in a very good mood. He felt taken care of, something that he had not felt for a long time. Some of the secretaries had already arrived by the time he arrived in the area where his office was situated in. He nodded at them, a trace of a smile still lingering on his lips. When he opened the glass door that led to Dave's office, he saw him sitting at his computer. Dave stood up to greet him and Lucas waved at him happily with a wide smile on his face. Dave was definitely puzzled. Just the…

Jen was woken up by a persistent and annoying noise, by the time she came to her senses she realised that the alarm had been ringing on Lucas' phone she turned it off in her sleepiness and just before she went back to sleep she remembered that he had a meeting. She grabbed his bare shoulder and tried to shake him awake, but the only response she received was him holding her tighter against his body. "Lucas, you have to wake up," Jen said softly as she was trying to shake him awake. "Five more minutes,"…

Lucas looked at her strangely after hearing her response. He was both amused and confused at the same time. "Um, uh, well, I think I went a bit overboard. Just forget that I mentioned it okay?" Jen said self-deprecatingly. Lucas nodded still slightly confused by her outburst, but he watched her as she quickly rushed into the bathroom. Jen locked the bathroom door behind her and slid to the floor. She couldn't help but repeatedly scold herself for her impulsiveness before she undressed and finally went…

Jen, unfortunately, fell asleep on the way to Lucas' place so the car ride was really quiet with the exception of the soft music that was playing in the speakers of the car. He checked on her when they stopped on traffic lights and covered her with his jacket before repeatedly adjusting her position since she always ended up in awkward positions that looked painful. They finally arrived in the underground parking of the hotel and Lucas sat for a while thinking about how he should handle this situation.…

Jen sat still as she listened to Lucas laugh heartily for a while. After he was done, he lifted her chin before leaving a peck on her lips. "How can you be so cute?" Lucas asked making Jen's face flush. She was now sure that she probably misunderstood his reason for asking her the question. "Why did you suddenly ask about Michael?" Jen asked. "Well, I learned that he has been approaching you recently" Lucas commented. "How do you know of this? Are you having me followed?" Jen asked. "No my love, I…

Jen had left the university with her girls since they had agreed on having dinner together that Thursday. They had reserved a private room so that they could talk freely without disturbing the other customers in a pretty fancy restaurant. It was then that Jen found out that Leanna had a boyfriend who was a gym trainer and Nancy had broken up with her boyfriend after high school. In Fact, he was the one who broke up with her but there was no need to get into the specifics. As they ate their dinner Jen…

"Well, at the beginning I thought that they knew each other, I noticed him about three days after we started the year but I wasn't suspicious because Jen looked unbothered. Whenever she came to school I always saw him hovering around her. I've seen him follow her out of class a couple of times too" Michael paused and took a sip of his juice before he continued. "I started getting suspicious when I once caught him take pictures of her, and when I tried confronting him he ran away. That was when I thought…

The following day, the classes went on as normal and Michael met up with Jared to talk to him about the progress he has made. "Why do you guys have to meet? Isn't telling him enough?" Jared asked suspiciously. "You are being too skeptical," Michael said as he had his lunch. "So you'll be meeting him this evening?" Jared asked as he turned to look at Michael's face. "Mmmh" Michael replied. Jared saw that he was completely unconcerned and shook his head. "Do you realise who you are going to meet?" Jared…
