Convincing her (Jen and Lucas)

Chapter 98: Caught

Before Jen and Lucas knew it, it was Saturday already and they were being woken up by Lucas' ringtone. Jen lightly smacked Lucas' chest that she was laying on as she heard the persistent ringing of his phone and Lucas had to wake up to pick up his phone.

Rather than sit up, he stretched out his hand and grabbed his phone from the bedside table and picked it up without checking who was calling.

"Hello?" Brian's voice was heard from the other side of the call.

"Mmmh, why are you calling so early?" Lucas complained as he unconsciously tangled his fingers in Jen's hair.

"We have your stalker. His name is Greg and we found him at Green Leaf park yesterday evening like you instructed". Brian reported.

"It's good that he did not decide to complicate things. How is he?" Lucas asked.

"He is okay and he seems sane and healthy, what do you want to do with him?" Brian asked.

"I want you to intimidate him. Scare him enough that he would not dare to even breathe in Jen's direction" Lucas instructed.

"Ethan told me about her but even he did not have much information on her. Make sure to bring her over during your birthday party. I want to see the type of woman that has gotten you whipped" Brian said good naturedly.

"I'll bring her and introduce her to you" Lucas said as he looked at Jen's figure that was peacefully resting sprawled over his body.

"I'll get the soldiers to mess around with him, is there anything else you want to do?" Brian asked.

"Oh, she said to 'throw him around' I hope you understand what she means by that" Lucas said as he continued to stroke her hair.

"I understand, so you'll bring her to Ethan's right?" Brian asked as he too was curious about the woman that Lucas was going to such lengths for.

"Mmmh, i'll see what she wants. If she doesn't want to come you guys can forget it" Lucas said decisively.

"Tell him i'll go, even if it's for the sake of thanking him" Jen said suddenly, startling Lucas.

"Is that so?" Brian asked.

"On second thought, she said she would come" Lucas said as he fondly looked at Jen who still had her eyes closed.

"Then i'll look forward to meeting her" Brian replied.

The two of them talked for a while before they cut the call and Lucas relaxed in bed with Jen.

He had snuck into her bed again the previous night. Since she made the decision to sleep in a different room from him, the only thing that had changed was that Lucas was no longer sleeping in his bedroom which made her efforts completely fruitless.

"How's the progress?" Jen asked Lucas curiously.

"Well, they have caught Greg and they are holding on to him. He was asking on what I wanted to be done to him." Lucas replied and pulled Jen up so her face was not resting on his chest but directly in front of his.

"That's good then, I don't have to get involved directly right?" Jen asked Lucas.

"You don't have to, so don't worry about it. Brian will have it handled" Lucas replied with a smile that showed off his dimples tempting Jen to poke at them.

"Mmmh, i'll listen to you" Jen said with a lazy smile as she cuddled closer to Lucas who indulged her by hugging her.

"Greg was caught yesterday" Roy promptly reported to Tyler who was having breakfast in his home. He did not have to go to work but he went since he had nothing to do on the weekends.

"Oh?" Tyler responded with a raised eyebrow. He obviously did not expect Lucas to find him so quickly.

Roy looked at his boss but did not say much else about the topic as he watched his boss use his tab to check the current news. After some time he looked up at Roy and watched him for a while before he finally said what he was thinking.

"Didn't we have a business negotiation with Lewis & Co. recently?" Tyler asked Roy who was take aback by the sudden question.

"We did " Roy confirmed, although he was not sure what his boss was trying to tell him.

"Good, tell Mr. Lewis that we will go to City X for the negotiations. Also let my father know that I will go there personally and that there is no need for him to go personally anymore." Tyler ordered.

When he was certain that Roy had clearly noted down his requests, he proceeded to busy himself with work.

He had taken the initiative to go on this business trip because he had missed Jen and was looking for an excuse to at least catch a glimpse of her. However, he would never admit it to himself, much less anyone else that he had missed her.

After seeing how happy she was with Lucas in the past few weeks, he realised how much he had wronged her. His private investigators occasionally sent him her pictures, and after seeing how handsome Lucas was and that fact that in every picture he received, whenever she was with Lucas, she had the biggest smile on her face.

She smiled so beautifully for Lucas whuch unnerved him since he does not recall her looking so happy when the two of them were in a relationship. Jen and Lucas were being so affectionate that it pissed Tyler off seeing another man being so close to her.

As he was thinking in this direction he ended up crushing the cup he was holding on his hand. Roy immediately rushed to him with a towel to check if he had any injuries. Fortunately he was fine and was still lost in his thoughts as if he did not realise that he would have burnt his hand if the tea had not cooled down.

He was still very reluctant to forget about her, and seeing how efficient her current boyfriend was did not improve his mood at all. He really wanted to see her and he could not wait until the negotiations for their contract started. He wanted to know how she was doing and if she still remembered him and whether he still had the same effect on her as he had throughout their relationship.

[A/N: My friend, don't be delusional hehehe]

He knew how much she had loved him and he always thought that if he had treated her better, she would not have left him for a young boy like Lucas. As arrogant as it may sound, the age gap between Lucas and Tyler was about five to six years, so it was slightly that much more harder for Tyler to accept it.
