Chapter 348: Back to real life.

Jen parked her car at the empty parking lot and got off with the packed food she had prepared for Lucas. She went to take the change of clothes she had gotten for him as well before rushing into the building.

The reception area was empty with the exception of a very busy receptionist. She didn't bother her and went straight to the elevator as she already knew where Lucas' office was.

When she got there, she found that the three secretaries that were normally on their stations diligently working were nowhere to be found. Even David was not at his desk. Jen opened the door to Lucas' office and slipped inside.

Lucas finally looked up when he heard her walk into the office. Jen smiled sheepishly when she saw that Lucas was looking at her over his glasses. He took off his glasses as he watched her walk towards him.

Jen took off her coat and placed all the things that she had brought over for him on the couch before walking towards him. Lucas put some distance between himself and his desk. Jen walked towards him and when she was right next top him he pulled her so she was sitting on his lap before he buried his face in her neck.

"Are you okay?" Jen asked after a beat once she recovered from the stimulation from her neck. She looked down at Lucas and combed his hair away from his face.

"I'm fine, just a bit tired," Lucas answered as he wrapped an arm around her waist. Jen got comfortable and leaned against him.

"I brought you some food. You can have a shower first before starting on your dinner," Jen said as she pushed his hair away from his face. Lucas looked at Jen for a bit longer while stroking her smooth waist.

"Thank you," he said as he snuggled up to Jen. She smiled and pecked him on the lips before looking at all the work that was strewn across his desk. Her expression became ugly when she saw the sheer amount of work he had to do. Forget about spending a night in the office, he might end up working overtime for a week or two!

"Is there anything I can do to help?" she asked as she looked at him with a worried expression. She feared that he will end up overworking himself, especially since she was aware of how much drive he had.

"If I could get a kiss, maybe I'll be reinvigorated," Lucas said flirtatiously and earned a smack on his chest before Jen really complied with his request.

Feeling the familiar softness against him, Lucas' vigour was really restored. Jen pulled away from him when she felt him start to slip his hands into her sweater. She had not come over to act as a distraction so she was not willing to do anything to desecrate his office.

"Go and take a shower first," Jen said as she separated herself from him. Lucas continued to stare at her not reddened and wet lips and felt the desire build up in him. He reluctantly got up from his office chair and went to the backroom in his office that was self-contained.

Jen sat on his office chair and patiently waited for him to come back. Looking at his workload, she finally had some understanding as to why his brothers were not willing to take over from their father's position. She leaned against the comfortable chair and carelessly played with her phone as she waited for Lucas to come back.

Lucas took a quick shower and put on the clothes that Jen had brought for him before quickly walking out of the back room.

"Feeling better?" Jen asked and Lucas nodded as he wiped his hair dry with a towel. His eyes were drawn to her slightly exposed cleavage because for some reason she chose not to bundle herself up like she normally did. He noticed the thick coat that was draped on the sofa and finally understood why she was dressed the way she was.

"You need to eat now," Jen said as she got up from the office chair. Lucas licked his lips when he saw he could catch glimpses of her waist whenever she moved. Did she come to deliver food or to deliver herself?

"Why are you standing there dazed?" Jen asked as she unpacked the food she had brought for him. Lucas cleared his throat and went to sit next to her rather than the head seat that he normally took up when he was in work mode.

After smelling the food she brought over, his appetite had gotten stimulated. So when she handed him the utensils he needed to eat, he immediately dug into his meal. Jen watched him eat with a smile on her face and even took the initiative to push some of the foods he left untouched towards him.

The office was completely silent with the exception of the sound of Lucas eating, but the atmosphere was very warm. 

"I hope you have room for dessert," Jen said as she took out another lunch box that had pie in it this time. The smell of cinnamon and apples filled his nose, and even though he was satiated, he couldn't help but get greedy for what she prepared.

"You made a pie?" Lucas asked as he put down the fork he was using and picked up the spoon she had handed him together with the pie.

"Mmh, I was craving it," Jen said as she packed up the empty food containers. Lucas deliciously ate as he watched her busy herself and felt his heart warm up from how considerate she was being with him. In his daze, Jen even picked up the utensils he was holding and packed them in the small bag she had brought with her.

"Are you full?" Jen asked as she sat down next to him once more. Lucas looked at her and nodded with a smile.

"Thank you for the meal, it was delicious," he said sincerely, Jen felt her heart rate speed up from the deep gaze that was directed at her before nodding in a fluster.

"Do you need anything tomorrow? Or is there something that you want to eat for breakfast?" Jen asked. But rather than an answer, what she had received was Lucas pushing her hair away from her face.

"Will you stay over?" Lucas asked, his gaze hot. Jen felt her face heat up and stood up abruptly in a fluster.

"Actually, I think it's already late, I should go now," Jen said hurriedly but was immediately caught by Lucas.

"You have thoughts of running away?" Lucas asked as he pulled her to sit on his lap.

"I'm not running," Jen said with a small pout.

"You are thinking of running away after coming here dressed the way you are?" Lucas asked with a raised eyebrow. Jen was startled at his comment. What was wrong with the way she was dressed? Had winter persisted for so long that he even found normal clothes sexy now?
