Jen ended up rolling her eyes at Nancy's reaction. Lucas took her bag and held her hand as he waked her towards the parking lot. She was not very worried about her two friends since they had their own car.

She waved at the two girls as they got in their car and left. She stood at the parking lot together with Lucas as it was pretty much empty with her hand grasped into Lucas' warm hand.

Jen looked up at Lucas, her gaze filled with warmth as she was feeling very touched that he came to pick her up from campus. They stood in front of Lucas' car looking at each other.

"You look wonderful," Lucas said as he pulled Jen closer to him.

"I thought you had work today," Jen said with her palms resting on his shoulders. Lucas did not say anything and continued to hold her in his arms. If anyone looked at them they would witness a ridiculously handsome tall man in a business suit standing with an equally tall woman who was dressed as a rebel.

Lucas had been thinking of her for most of the day and if he could, he would have her stay in his office so he could look at her as much as he wanted.

"I did have work, but I missed you so much," Lucas said as he embraced her. He buried his face in her neck and lightly said, "I didn't know I could think of you so often in one day".

Jen pretended she did not hear him. If she acknowledged that he just said she would be forced to face her feelings for him too so she was just silent. If a person had inside information on what these two were thinking they'd feel frustrated to death.

[A/N: I bet].

"How are your exams going?" Jen asked Lucas. She was feeling very cautious of his arm that was resting on her waist as she stood in front of him.

"I finished them yesterday actually, didn't I tell you?" Lucas said as his warm palms encircled Jen's waist and pulled her close to him. Her chest pushed against his in their position as she was almost of equal height with him since he was leaning against his sports car.

Their presence drew a lot of attention but none of them could bring themselves to care.

"Then why did you come today? I thought you would have been busy" Jen said feeling slightly puzzled.

"As I said, I missed you," Lucas said, pressing her even closer to himself. He could feel her every curve against his body.

"Right" Jen vaguely replied, slightly disappointing Lucas.

"Why don't you look at me?" Lucas asked as he turned her head to face him.

"Well now I am, it's not going to make much of a difference". Jen replied.

"Oh, it'll make a lot of difference, why don't you give me a kiss," Lucas said bluntly. Jen thought she was hallucinating when she heard this.

"No," Jen said decisively before she separated herself from him. Jen did not forget that she vowed that she would let herself get taken advantage of and at that moment it was pretty late. Lucas could only smile at her response.

He was not one to force someone to accept his advances, so she did not force Jen in that situation. Instead, he gave her a ride back home. Jen got out of the car once Lucas opened her car door. She stood directly in front of him and the two looked very attractive.

"I wish I could accompany you for longer" Lucas said as he was feeling slightly down.

"Do you still have work?" Jen asked

"Yes, unfortunately, I really wanted to spend my time with you," Lucas said holding her against him once more

"That's too bad," Jen said feeling disappointed about the whole situation. Lucas escorted her to her door before he left for work once more.

Lucas had been very busy that day. He consulted the team leaders and department heads of the company and was made aware of the amount of work he had cut out for him. He really could not afford to slack off.

He was very tired just from dealing with all those different departments he was responsible for. Jen could not really empathize with Lucas because the amount of work Jen puts into her business cannot be compared to what Lucas is managing at the moment.

Jen watched as his car drove away and her mood just sunk at that moment. She finally went into her house and focused on her school work to reduce her workload.

She ended up working on her a.s.signments all day including the new work that was due in a couple of weeks.

On the other hand, Lucas was in a meeting with a number of team leaders and department heads to discuss the current projects that their departments were managing. Lucas sat at the front of the table and that not only drew attention towards him but also showed a certain level of dominance.

He re-delegated some tasks to the different departments and arranged for another meeting in a week's time to observe the progress on the progress. By the end of the meeting, Lucas was tired and his expression looked even more detached than normal. Anyone who did not know him well would conclude that he was angry but in reality, he was tired and hungry.

Dave was the one who was working directly with Lucas and he was already tired from that day's work, but Lucas did not seem like he had any plans of leaving work.

On the other hand, Jen was busy studying and as she went through her bag to look for some of the material she borrowed from the library she noticed that there was a book she was unaware of. After going through it she realised that they were notes that consisted of the topics that she was going to learn during her final year.

She was honestly pleasantly surprised. She sent Lucas a message of thanks before she carefully stored the book.

As the days went between Wednesday and Friday there weren't a lot of events that occurred. Besides the one time that Lucas picked Jen up from campus, he did not show up again but instead worked even harder so that he wouldn't have much work to do on Friday.
