The following day Jen went to campus as normal. At this point, she had forgotten that Lucas was supposed to bring her a catalogue where she could choose a car from and had gotten used to the car that she had ‘borrowed’ from Lucas.

She met with the two girls as she normally did after cla.s.ses but the last thing she expected as they were leaving campus was meeting Leanna’s boyfriend. The guy looked like a tank since he lived and breathed the gym. He had muscles to support the muscles he already had.

Unfortunately, due to the bad impression Jen had of him, she did not have a hint of admiration for him. Instead, she could not help but look at Leanna’s willowy body and feel bad for her.

She wondered where he found the courage to hit someone who was less than half his size. He had approached the three of them as they were walking towards the parking lot and Jen instinctively held on to Leanna’s hand as she was feeling very protective of her.

“Have you thought about it?” Jen asked and received a nod from Leanna. She would not abandon her if she made the wrong choice, but at the same time, she would still be disappointed if she chose to reconcile with him.

“h.e.l.lo, i’m Sam” the guy introduced himself with a pleasant smile as he looked at Jen and Nancy.

Jen did not introduce herself but just nodded in his direction to show that she had heard him making him feel fl.u.s.tered. He was very confident about his charms so it came as a surprise that the lady was not smiling back at him like other women normally did.

“Leanna, can we talk?” Sam asked as he looked at Leanna who was standing between her two friends. Sam saw that Jen was looking at him strangely but did not comment on it and instead was persistent about talking to Leanna.

After thinking for a while, Leanna nodded her head and followed him to talk in a secluded area.

“If she comes back with a hair missing i’m calling the police on you!” Nancy shouted after them making Jen chuckle in amus.e.m.e.nt.

She watched as the two figures stood at a distance and were talking to each other. At some point she saw Sam anxiously try to explain something to Leanna before grabbing her hand as if it was a life line.

Leanna said something to him before she started crying and forcefully shook him off. Before she talked to Jen she had not realised how unfair her relations.h.i.+p with Sam was and after he came to see her, expecting that she will let everything go and take him back was finally the last straw for her.

She walked back towards the two girls with reddened glossy eyes and when Jen saw her she felt very proud of her because as she looked at Sam she knew he had been turned down. Jen ran towards Leanna and enveloped her into a hug that she hoped conveyed most of her feelings. Unlike Rachel, Leanna had managed to break off their relations.h.i.+p and Jen could not have been happier.

“It was so hard” Leanna said as she sobbed in Jen’s arms. She felt another pair of hands embrace her from behind and she ended up crying even harder. After a while the two girls released her when she stopped crying and Nancy drove them back home as Jen returned to the penthouse.

Lucas was standing in front of his father’s desk as he waited for his father to finally acknowledge his presence. After a couple of minutes, his father took off his gla.s.ses before leaning back on his office chair and looked at him.

“What are you standing for? Sit” Noah said as he pointed at the office chair that was opposite his desk. Lucas sat down and composed himself before finally addressing his father.

“I talked to Jen last night” Lucas said and watched as his father finally looked at him with interest.

“And?” Noah asked.

“She doesn’t want to let him go without any repercussions, otherwise he would just come back and do the same thing again thinking that his father only had to ask for a favour for him” Lucas explained.

As Noah listened to his son he could not be happier. He was not s.a.d.i.s.tic, but it was important to let people know that they had bottom lines that should not be crossed otherwise people would think that you are easy to bully.

“If she thinks this way then she really is going to be perfect for you. I will tell Bruce about your decision then” Noah said with a hint of a smile on his lips.

“Before that, tell him to tell his son to show up at this address in two day at 6pm. If he doesn’t come, whatever I have in store for him will be doubled because everyday he is loose, is another day Jen does not sleep comfortably” Lucas said before he stood up from the office chair.

“Mmh, I’ll tell him about it” Noah said and watched as Lucas walked out of his office on his own initiative.

Because of her decision, he did not have to stop Brian from taking any action when he finally found Greg, since he knew he would not do anything too outrageous without his authorisation.

When he walked into his office, he found Michael standing in front of his desk as if he was waiting for his return.

“What’s the matter?” Lucas asked as he walked towards his own desk.

“I had a question” Michael said as he watched Lucas take a seat in his big comfortable chair.

“What is it” Lucas asked as he opened the folder on his desk.

“Well, there is a project on textiles, especially the ones that are supposed to be used on outdoor furniture. There was a problem with the materials….” Michael rumbled on for a while before he stopped when he realised that Lucas was not paying much attention.

“Big bro, are you listening to me?” Michael asked but did not receive an answer which proved that Lucas was not listening to him.

“Big bro!” Michael called again feeling slightly aggrieved.

“Did you receive the progress report from the involved department?” Lucas asked while he was still focusing on his files.

“Not yet” Michael replied.

“I want you to familiarise yourself, You can come to me with these types of questions once the situation does not seem to be resolved when the progress reports are sent over” Lucas instructed and Michael nodded in response.

“Not only that. When there are any inconsistencies, consult the department first before you come to me, and before you come to me, you have to consult Dave understood?” Lucas asked as he looked at him from the top of his gla.s.ses and was only satisfied once he received a positive response from Michael.

Michael excused himself and walked out of Lucas’ office and Lucas watched him go with a smile on his face. As he continued interacting with Michael, he found that he empathised with James more and more.
