Jen sat still as she listened to Lucas laugh heartily for a while. After he was done, he lifted her chin before leaving a peck on her lips.
"How can you be so cute?" Lucas asked making Jen's face flush. She was now sure that she probably misunderstood his reason for asking her the question.
"Why did you suddenly ask about Michael?" Jen asked.
"Well, I learned that he has been approaching you recently" Lucas comnted.
"How do you know of this? Are you having followed?" Jen asked.
"No my love, I trust you. It's just that Michael ca to my office today t-" Lucas was cut off before he could finish.
"He didn't co to cause trouble right? Tell if he did so that I can go properly talk to him" Jen said righteously.
Lucas managed to hold back his laugh but a warm smile was still on his lips. He kissed her lips again to get her to keep quiet before he gave up on letting her know of the current situation.
"Can you let finish first Jen?" Lucas said as he looked at her with his warm gaze. Jen looked down feeling slightly embarrassed with how hasty she was being. She nodded her head and looked at him once more so he could continue talking.
"As I was saying. Michael ca to my office today to discuss sothing very important" Lucas paused as he gently stroked her hair.
"He told that a suspicious person has been following you around campus for a little over a week now," Lucas said and watched Jen's reaction. She looked stunned but she didn't say anything, so he continued talking.
"He said that he tried to talk to you about it but you kept avoiding him so he felt that he should let soone close to you know. So he sent an email and I asked him to et in my office" Lucas continued to explain.
"Oh" was all Jen managed to say. She felt bad for misunderstanding the poor guy and at the sa ti she felt creeped out that soone had been following her all this ti.
"Do you know how far he has gone yet?" Jen asked. She was not a fool. She knew that Lucas has probably started investigating the issue.
"From what I have learned from Michael, he had seen him take pictures of you but nothing else. He hasn't approached you directly yet so it's highly unlikely you have directly interacted with him before". Michael explained.
Jen could feel goosebumps rise across her skin and she subconsciously rubbed her arms. She was feeling very spooked. How had soone been following her around all this ti without her noticing?
"Lucas what should I do?" Jen asked pitifully with a trembling voice. She clutched onto Lucas' shirt managing to wrinkle it as she buried her head in his chest.
"It's okay baby," Lucas said as he held her tighter.
He could tell that she was afraid and he felt bad that she had to experience sothing like this when she had only recently moved to the city.
They stayed like that for a while as Lucas waited for her to calm down.
"Are you feeling better?" he asked.
"Mmmh," Jen replied while giving him a weak smile that completely failed to reassure him.
Lucas checked the ti and saw that it was almost past midnight. He knew he had to leave since he had a eting early the next day.
"Baby I have to go," Lucas said as his hand stroked her back.
"Do you have to? Can't you stay over?" Jen asked pitifully.
Lucas almost relented but then he rembered his father's face and regretfully shook his head.
"I'm sorry babe, I have a eting tomorrow morning with the board of directors and my father, I can't afford to be late" Lucas explained. Jen was silent for a while before she sat up suddenly.
"Then can I spend the night at your house? I really don't feel safe here anymore" Jen said as she clutched on his sleeve. His lips curved into a smile when he saw that she was acting spoiled.
"Of course, you know that you are welco to my ho anyti," Lucas said indulgently.
"I'll go pack a bag," Jen said and climbed out of his lap and rushed to her room. Lucas looked at her leave with a smile on his and shook his head in amusent.
Jen quickly ran to her room and put in the clothes that she would need in one of her gym bags. She has many of those but she was yet to use them.
She always used to plan to work out and thought that once she got to City X she would have ti but after her busy study schedule and her newly acquired stalker, she didn't think she can realise this dream yet.
She even arranged a separate bag where she kept her shoes before leaving her room.
Lucas' eyebrow lifted when he saw the amount of luggage she had with her.
"Are you planning on moving in?" he teasingly asked as he took the bags from her hands.
"Should I?" Jen said with humour.
"I definitely wouldn't mind" Lucas replied with a devilish smile. Jen lightly hit his arm making him chuckle in amusent.
"Did you get everything?" Lucas asked as he scanned her house.
"I'll be back ho anyways, besides, if I forgot sothing I'll just ask the front desk. You live in a hotel" Jen replied as she packed her study materials.
She knew she wouldn't co ho tomorrow, and Lucas will be working all day, so she needed her things so she can be productive while she was there.
Lucas walked towards the door and Jen followed behind as they finally left the house. As she was locking the door, Lucas busied himself with putting her luggage in the trunk of his car. He then opened the door for her and she entered his car. After they both got on, he drove off into the night.
