Convincing her (Jen and Lucas)

Chapter 188: Causing trouble

Jen thought that it would be best if she did not try to explain herself because there was no way she could word what she had done in a way that negated what he said.

"Don't you think you're being a bit too much?" Lucas asked as he stood up from the sofa and walked towards her.

"Uh-" Jen nervously said as she looked at her feet.

"Miss Larson, I think I need to remind you that you are now MY girlfriend, right?" Lucas said accentuating the 'my' in his sentence. Jen had to pinch herself to make sure that this was not some sort of dream.

Lucas was seriously in a bad mood at this point. He hated the fact that Jen came all the way to his office to confront him about a man she had already broken up with over a year ago. It was not very pleasant, in fact, it made him angry at her for the first time in forever.

It was not like the time they argued about collaborating or when she ignored his concern for her. This was a direct confrontation about Tyler. It really left a bad taste in his mouth.

Lucas had never acted possessive or jealous before so Jen was really caught off guard. As she thought about their situation once more, she realised that she was really going overboard with the whole being seen by Tyler situation.

At the end of the day, he wasn't in her life anymore so this whole confrontation was completely meaningless. It just managed to piss Lucas off and make her look like she was still hung up on her ex. 

"I think you should go home first, we'll talk when I get back," Lucas said and went back to his seat. Jen couldn't help but notice that he did not kiss her goodbye like he normally did.

"Lucas-"

"Jen, just go home. We'll talk later" Lucas said as he leaned back on his office chair and massaged his temples. Jen bit her lower lip in hesitation. She had come to vent but the situation had just made a weird turn that she had not predicted. He wouldn't even let her apologise.

"I'll go, but make sure to have your lunch," Jen said and paused as she was walking out of his office. She looked back at Lucas who seemed to be lost in his thoughts. She walked back and kissed his cheek.

"I'll see you later, I'm sorry," Jen said as she caressed his hair and walked out of his office. When she opened the door she saw that David's office only had Michael there.

"You came out earlier than expected" Michael commented.

"Mmh, try not to annoy him. I think I put him in a mood already" Jen said even though she also looked like she was in a low mood. she bid Michael goodbye and left the office. He watched her walk away and shook his head with a sigh.

"It looks like she just came to cause trouble" Michael mumbled to himself before going back to work. He would have gone to eat but the front of Lucas' office couldn't be left empty, so he let David go eat first before he went to eat after he returned.

He figured that he would have to warn David that Lucas was probably in a bad mood because of Jen. They had never seen Lucas mad at her so the best course of action is to be cautious.

Jen had walked into the building with a bone to pick with Lucas and left like a deflated balloon. She internally scolded herself for acting so foolishly in the first place. When she got in her car buried her face in her hands from frustration.

She really didn't know what to do once Lucas came home. She became so frivolous after being spoiled by Lucas. She didn't know she could be so shallow before, and she was the one that was supposed to be the older one. 

After calming down a bit she fastened her seatbelt and drove out of the parking lot leaving the area. Lucas was standing in front of the ceiling to floor window in his office looking at the busy streets outside.

He really got pissed off when Jen confronted him about Tyler, he would have lashed out if she did not leave so he stood there trying to calm himself down.

It took a lot to upset him but he had to admit that he could not sit and let Jen complain about what Tyler would probably think from seeing them together.

Honestly, when Lucas had spotted Tyler the previous day, he thought it was a pleasant surprise because if he saw how he was with Jen, then he would not get any ideas about her anymore.

The more Lucas thought about it the angrier he seemed to get. He took long strides towards his desk and pressed the button on the landline that directly connected him to David's office.

David had just sat down when he heard the office phone ring. He had heard from Michael that Lucas was probably in a mood so he was cautious when he answered the phone.

"Arrange for this food to be taken away," Lucas ordered and before David could respond, he cut the call. David looked at the phone in his hands in confusion as if what happened was a figment of his imagination. He really wanted to call Jen and ask her what she did to make Lucas so upset.

David, of course, went to do what he was asked immediately lest Lucas gets even angrier that he initially was. When he called the people that were responsible for the delivery to go and take the dishes from Lucas' office he stopped them before they knocked.

"Do not say anything to him. Seriously, don't" David warned the two staff and knocked on the door and only opened it when Lucas said to come in. He did not want to be collateral damage in whatever fight he was currently having with Jen.
