Being forward

Hey, do you think they'll be able to recognize your shirt?" Jen asked self-consciously. Lucas looked at her his cold expression unchanging but inside he was feeling good that she was wearing his clothes.

"I can't say, Dave probably did since he bought it, besides I walk around in a suit, I don't think there are people who mark the clothes that I wear every day," Lucas said seriously. Jen felt slightly comforted by his words.

"But they might figure out that it's mine since the size is a bit-" Lucas didn't finish his sentence and left it hanging. Hearing this Jen became distressed again and couldn't stop herself from looking around to check on everyone's expression.

She saw some envious gazes and some admiring gazes directed at the two of them, she even spotted some people whispering to each other as they pointed in their direction. Jen couldn't stop the sigh that left her lips. Lucas was only teasing her and didn't expect her mood to change like this.

"I'm probably too underdressed, I should have just gone home with a taxi" Jen mumbled looking a little down.

"Hey, you look beautiful, don't think about what they are all saying, at the end of the day it's what I think that matters," Lucas said cockily making Jen laugh.

When he saw that she was fine he stroked her long mane of hair and smiled back. Not many people had seen him smile so warmly before so a lot of people were stunned at this view of two people smiling at each other, one with an amused gaze and the other with a warm gaze.

For those who had attended the event on Saturday, they would have recognized her as the lady that had attended the party as Lucas' date.

The two of them entered the elevator and watched as the floor numbers changed.

"So you have this kind of image at work huh?" Jen commented as she looked at Lucas.

"What do you mean?" Lucas asked.

"You being all chic and detached, it's so different from how you usually are with me" Jen continued to say.

"Do you want me to be chic and detached with you too" Lucas teased.

"I wouldn't mind, it's kinda hot" Jen teased back with a mischievous glint in her eyes. For once Lucas was caught off guard by her and his expression faltered causing Jen to laugh.

Lucas' gaze changed back to the cold and detached way he normally looked and pressed Jen to the corner of the elevator, his arm against the cold elevator wall trapping her between the two walls of the elevator and himself. He gave a cold smile and Jen couldn't believe how excited she felt at that moment. Was she really into this type of thing? She couldn't help but wonder.

"L-Lucas" Jen stuttered as she was so out of her element at that moment.

"Can you repeat what you said, Ms Larson?" Lucas said his voice devoid of emotion but it sounded so magnetic in her ears. Jen couldn't help but think that she probably has a problem and shook her head as if forcing herself to get back to her senses.

"Lucas, there are cameras in the elevator," Jen said trying to get him to snap out of whatever it was that he was doing.

"I thought you said that you found this hot" Lucas said using a finger to lift up her chin so that she could meet his cold hazel eyes. Jen could feel her face flush when she looked at him. 'He has so much charisma' Jen couldn't help but think.

"It definitely is," Jen said and gave him a lingering kiss. However, before they could separate the elevator doors opened.

No one was waiting for the elevator but there was a group of people gathered in the vicinity as they were waiting for the elevator next to the executive one. They were also surprised when the elevator doors slid open but nothing would have prepared them for what they had seen.

Jen was officially embarrassed. She wanted the ground to open up and swallow her, she was that embarrassed. Lucas, on the other hand, maintained his cool expression and looked at the employees who looked away from how nervous he made them feel.

They felt strangely guilty even though they didn't do anything wrong. Lucas held her hand and walked out of the elevator with her. Jen decided to act as if nothing was wrong and followed Lucas to wherever he was going.

They passed through numerous cubicles and office doors before finally entering an area where Jen could only describe as the secretaries' office since there were about six secretaries who were super busy with typing and answering calls. When they entered they all turned and greeted Lucas before he introduced her to them.

They all gave her a polite smile and greeted her as well before she awkwardly returned their greeting. Lucas didn't wait for them to exchange any pleasantries before he ushered her to his office and closed the door behind him.

Jen walked to one of the empty sofas in his office and sat herself down while trying to calm herself down. Lucas looked at her with a smile on his face.

"Embarrassed?" Lucas asked while sorting out the pile of documents on his desk. He could already feel the oncoming headache he'll experience by just looking at his workload.

"How can I not be?" Jen said with a groan.

"Well, this time it's your fault, you were the one who kissed me," Lucas said shamelessly. Jen couldn't even refute this statement so she decided to stay silent.

"Don't worry too much, it's not like they will go around talking about what happened, they are too busy for that" Lucas decided to comfort. However, he couldn't have been more wrong.

In fact, even he knew that the issue would probably be spread everywhere by the end of the day, but he didn't enjoy seeing Jen looking so stressed so he had to tell this little white lie to comfort her.
