Jen closed the front door as she too went to the kitchen and served herself what she had cooked the previous night and went to the living room to eat it while sitting cross-legged on the floor with her back leaning against the couch that was directly facing the television.

She had chosen to watch something dramatic and soon enough, she was so engrossed as she ate mindlessly. She quickly finished her food and went to wash the dishes and also to clear out the leftovers which she packed and put in the fridge before she went upstairs to get ready for university.

She was feeling really sore from last night, all her muscles were protesting against her movements. She was lucky that she did not end up with a sore throat like she did last time.

After putting on her floral wide skirted short dress and a pair of wedges and sungla.s.ses, she left the penthouse and went directly to the university.

Lucas arrived at the company just in time. He pa.s.sed through the reception area and went directly to the elevators.

He got on the executive elevator as he really did not have the patience to squeeze in with everyone and soon arrived in his office. David was at his desk and Lucas sent a smile in his direction as he walked into his office.

David was visibly relieved when he saw that Lucas was in a good mood. It looked like he was able to resolve the issues he had with Jen from the previous day, which was a relief for him since it meant that his day wouldn't be as strenuous as it was yesterday. Before he knew it Lucas' office door opened again and Lucas' figure appeared on the door.

"Can we talk?" Lucas said as he looked at David. David frowned but he followed him into his office. Lucas didn't go sit behind his desk but rather on the sofas in his office, he didn't even sit on the head sofa, but the one that was directly opposite David's.

"What's going on?" David asked in confusion.

"Thanks for yesterday," Lucas said, referring to the concern that he had shown the previous day.

"No problem, it's what friends do," David said brus.h.i.+ng it off. He was actually feeling embarra.s.sed about Lucas thanking him so seriously.

"I'm sorry I acted like a stubborn mule too" Lucas added.

"Dude stop. I'm getting gooseb.u.mps" David said uncomfortably.

"I should clear up such matters," Lucas said with a chuckle.

"How can you be so cringey. I won't be able to maintain a straight expression all day" David complained making Lucas chuckle.

"Can I go now?" David said as if Lucas' office was the last place he wanted to be.

"Ah, wait. What type of party is Sat.u.r.day's party going to be?" Lucas asked.

"c.o.c.ktail" David answered.

"Colour scheme?" Lucas asked after some thought

"Royal blue and silver" David answered.

"Okay, that's it then. you look like your ready to bolt" Lucas commented with a chuckle as David stood up.

"It's because I am. Now if you'll excuse me" David said and promptly left the office without a backward glance. He was unsettled by how cheesy his friend was being.

It was the first time he had ever seen him like that, granted that he rarely ever saw Lucas mad over anything.

Lucas helplessly laughed at David's departing figure before he too stood up and went behind his desk.

Tyler was woken up by Roy, who had been waiting for his call for an hour and got impatient and went to ask the manager to open the door. When he opened his eyes to Roy's face he suddenly felt irritated.

"You should wake up, we still have to discuss the contract since you didn't want to do it last night," Roy said reminding him that it was his own fault that he had to wake up earlier.

"I should get a female a.s.sistant to deal with these kinds of tasks. I didn't think waking up to a man's face would be so annoying" Tyler mumbled half asleep.

"You can work on that once we go back to City K, but for now you have to wake up," Roy said also feeling annoyed. Did he think he was having fun waking a man up?

"I'm up, you can go now," Tyler said as he stretched his limbs as he sat up on his bed. Roy briefly looked at Tyler as if to confirm that he would really wake up before he left the large bedroom. 

Tyler got out of bed and made his way to the bathroom as he removed his bathrobe and threw it into the humper. He took a quick shower before he brushed his teeth and put on another bathrobe before he left his bedroom and went downstairs where Roy was waiting for him.

"Are you going to have breakfast?" Roy asked Tyler who was walking towards the kitchen.

"Can you ask them to bring me Lemonade, without the sugar," Tyler said to Roy as he took a bottle of water from the fridge and went back to the living room.

"Can we start now?" Roy asked when Tyler sat down on the sofa.

"Mmh," Tyler said as he opened the water bottle took a long drink from it.

Roy started discussing the contents of the contract seriously with Tyler and after a ten-minute discussion, the doorbell rang and he went to take the tray that had a large jug of "lemonade" and a few gla.s.ses on it. Roy placed it on the coffee table and continued briefing Tyler about the contract.

The discussion lasted for almost an hour and once they were done, Roy started packing his things away.

"When do we leave?" Tyler asked Roy as he was sipping on his "lemonade"

"We'll leave the hotel around 12:30 pm" Roy answered as he neatly arranged the doc.u.ments in his briefcase.

"I'll see you then," Tyler said as he stood up from the sofa and stretched his limbs before going to his room.
