Convincing her

Shortly after Jen sat down on one of the sofas in Lucas's office, a secretary knocked on the door before coming in with a tray of refreshments.

"I'm sorry, I forgot to ask for your preference so I brought a bit of everything," the lady said as she set the tray she was carrying on the coffee table in front of Jen.

"I'm not picky, thank you," Jen said with a polite smile.

"You can press this if you need anything," she said and showed her the button to press on the office phone.

"I will," Jen said, and her smile became genuine. The secretary became a bit dazed before she walked out of Lucas's office with a blank expression on her face.

"How is she?" the other secretaries asked her with faces filled with curiosity.

"Beautiful," she said. It was the only word she could think of. The other secretaries looked at her funny before resuming work. They had already seen that she was beautiful. Why did she have to say it with a sigh like that? Did she get seduced while she was in there?

Meanwhile, in the conference room, Lucas had gone straight to the point and did not waste time with formalities. Since he was the inconvenienced party, the other person did not judge or complain about his behaviour. 

Jen, who was still in Lucas's office sat still for a couple of minutes before taking off her shoes and made herself comfortable with her legs dangling over the armrest.

She brought her hair forward so as not to make it look messy before pulling her phone out of her purse and started texting her friends. These days, even James and Brian would check up on her every two to three days.

As she was busy texting, her phone suddenly rang, and she pursed her lips a bit before picking up the call.

"Mom," Jen answered as she completely relaxed against the sofa.

"Jen, how are you doing?" Diane said once she heard her voice.

"I'm fine, mom, and you?" she asked her as she looked over at the refreshments that were brought to her earlier. 

"I'm okay, when are you going to have your break? You have to come home for a while during that time," Diane said, with her voice holding a hint of longing. 

"I will come," Jen said, deciding that she will go back home on the first two weeks of her long break before going to visit Lucas.

"Are you getting along with your sister? How is your boyfriend? I heard he left for further studies," Diane asked, and Jen felt slightly embarrassed about talking about Lucas.

"I'm fine with Alex, Lucas is also doing well, he is just very busy with his studies and work, but I came to visit him to check on him," Jen said and pursed her lips realizing that she had shared more than she had intended to.

"It's good you two are getting along, Should I be expecting good news soon?" Diane asked and Jen bit her lower lip and a sudden shy look appeared on her face.

"I'll let you know tomorrow," Jen said, and Diane laughed happily on the other side, her laughter sounding like clear bells. 

"Okay, I'll wait for your call tomorrow, even if there is no good news," Diane said warmly.

"Mmmh," Jen answered.

"Well, I have to get back to work now, I have to help your brother since he is still a novice," Diane said and hung up after saying a few more words.

Her mother had taken over her sister's position after Alex left and was busy after so many years of being a housewife.

Jen picked up a cracker and put it in her mouth as she sat up on the sofa. She poured herself a glass of juice before laying back down as she had been before. 

At this time, Lucas walked back into his office as he had already finished addressing all the necessary things he was meant to address on Monday. His movements were so quiet that Jen did not notice him come in at all.

The first thing he was greeted with was a pair of fair legs swinging aimlessly over the armrest of his sofa. As he walked further into his office, he noticed that the exposure continued up to her knees and even her thighs were exposed. A thousand questions went through his mind as he slightly bent down and traced his finger up one of her legs.

Jen who had been freely enjoying herself was so startled she had almost fallen off the sofa. She looked up and saw Lucas's amused expression before she pouted indignantly.

"You scared me," she said and tried to sit up. But Lucas grabbed her leg and tugged on it, forcing her to lie back down on the sofa.

"What if my assistant came in, or I walked in with my client?" Lucas asked as his gaze met hers. Jen was not sure of how she should be answering him, but felt like she had to give a response.

"Then it would be my bad," Jen said as she looked up at him. Lucas smiled mischievously at her, and a sense of danger overwhelmed her before she hurriedly sat up.

Lucas held one of her legs, lifting it as his fingers brushed over her ankles. Causing the dress that had already ridden up her thighs to expose her even more.

His lips kissed her calf and even teasingly nipped at it before looking at her with mischief in his eyes.

"Are you finished?" Jen asked him, as she lay back down. It was a bit awkward to sit upright with Lucas holding one of her legs up as he currently was.

"Mmmh, I'm done," Lucas answered as he licked the area he had just bitten into.

"You are going to leave marks," Jen said as she watched how he was nibbling at her leg. Lucas paused when he heard her words and turned his attention back to her face.

"So it's okay as long as I don't leave a mark, right?" he asked and Jen became at a loss for words.
