Chapter 251 - Shall we?

"Why are you at the hotel?" Lucas asked once he was finally released by Jason.

"My fans found out where I was staying. I'm going to be moving again" Jason said with a tired sigh.

"Isn't that the seventh time this year?" Lucas asked and Jason simply shrugged. He was not stressed out since he knew that someone else would be the one that will be working on finding him somewhere else to stay.

"En, are you worried? Do you want to invite to stay with for the time being?" Jason asked mischievously.

"Forget it," Lucas said without even taking a second to think about it. He knew that Jason was just going to intrude and they would have a non-existent sex life as Jen would be too embarrassed to do anything with him around.

Just the thought of it made him break out into a cold sweat. He would definitely not take Jason in unless it was a life-threatening situation.

"It's not your call, sister-in-law, can I spend a few days at your place?" Jason asked Jen as he moved to stand between the couple. Jen could see Lucas' jaw tick in annoyance and she laughed in amusement as she looked at him. 

"You can, but your brother has the final say in this" Jen said with a smile and watched as Jason looked at Lucas expectantly.

"No," Lucas said bluntly. 

"Ah, I promise I'll make sure I have a schedule every night," Jason said and Lucas glared at him while Jen's face turned red.

"No," Lucas said firmly.

"Fine, are you going to go to the main house tomorrow?" Jason asked Lucas suddenly, abruptly changing the topic.

"Mmh, we'll be going" Lucas responded.

"I think dad is coming back tomorrow, he must have rushed to finish his business. We'll definitely get chased away once he comes home" Jason and took a glass of wine from a waiter.

"Oh, how could you come with a sweater?" Lucas asked as he looked at him. Jason was wearing a loose white v neck sweater and a pair of black jeans. It just showed he had just been lounging around in the suite he was staying in before he came to the hall.

"You said the party's over. What's the point of getting immaculately dressed when no one is even going to see-" Jason started but he became silent when he saw a couple approach them.

Lucas curiously looked at who was coming and saw that it was Michael and his sister. Sofiya was hanging off of Michael's arm while looking tired, she just wanted to go home to sleep. She hadn't talked like the way she did today in a very long time so she was currently feeling quite lethargic.

When they stopped in front of Lucas and the others the tired expression on Sofiya's face suddenly froze. The last person she was expecting to see was Jason and seeing how he was dressed it meant that he had just arrived since she would have definitely noticed someone who was dressed so casually at such a party.

As she stared at Jason, Jason was also staring back at her. He was also not expecting to see her there. He looked at the man standing next to her and saw how much resemblance she carried with him so he concluded that they were relatives, but that did not stop him from being surprised.

"Mr. Lu- Lewis, all the guests have already left. I also have to take my sister home, she's exhausted" Michael said and worriedly looked at Sofiya who was still leaning on him heavily but was staring at Jason. 

Michael looked at Jason curiously and as he was studying the white-haired man their eyes met. He did not avoid his gaze but nodded in his direction before returning his attention to Lucas.

"Mmh, this is my older brother. Jason, this is my mentee, Michael." Lucas quickly introduced them.

"Nice to meet you," Jason said and for once he did not have his playful demeanour. Jen had been observing the four of them and felt like there must be something going on between Jason and Sofiya.

"Likewise," Michael said as he looked at him strangely but still stretched his hand out for a handshake. He was not very attuned to people's emotions but he could tell that his sister's mood suddenly became strange because of the man standing in front of them.

If Michael noticed that something was strange it would be too far fetched to say that Lucas and Jen did not notice. 

The two of them had noticed and since Sofiya's expression did not show that she was feeling happy about seeing Jason, they figured that something must have happened between them.

As Michael quickly wrapped up his discussion with Lucas, Jen went to stand next to Sofiya and exchanged numbers with her. She was not a very outgoing person but she never hesitated to make any new friends. 

Sofiya could end up being a really good friend and a valuable connection as well. She was also very curious about what had happened between her and Jason. She definitely was not taking Sofiya's number just to sate her curiosity.

Michael and Lucas quickly wrapped up and after Michael said his goodbyes, he left with his sister. As they left, Jason's gaze never left Sofiya, and even after they walked past the doors his gaze was still fixated in that direction.

Lucas looked at Jason as if he was looking at an alien. He had never seen his brother act the way he did. He was always goofing off or saying something strange but when he was in front of Sofiya, it was as if he had forgotten how to speak.

"Are you okay?" Lucas asked Jason when he saw that he had not snapped out of his thoughts for quite some time already.

"Mmh, I'll go back now," Jason said and patted Lucas' shoulder before giving Jen a goodbye hug before he left. Jen and Lucas stood at the hall by themselves still confused about what had just happened before they looked at each other.

"Shall we?" Lucas asked as he looked at Jen with a raised eyebrow.

"Mmh, let's go, I'm tired," Jen said and hooked her arm on his elbow and the two of them left the hall together as the hosts.
