Jas' grey eyes directly looked into hers and for so reason she was frozen by his gaze.
"Jas. stop glaring at our guest" Hellen said when she noticed that Jas was not being welcoming. Jas nodded and directed his gaze towards Lucas instead.
"How are you kiddo" Jas said with a small smile that showed the tiny dimples at the corner of his mouth. The sight left Jen slightly dazed. The dimples were different from Lucas' dimples that were on his cheeks they were so much cuter. Jen looked at Lucas who proceeded to introduce the two of them.
"I'm okay, this is my girlfriend Jen" Lucas said and Jen extended her hand for a handshake with a smile. Jas briefly looked at her and held her hand in his larger hand before letting go after the brief contact.
"Jen, this is my eldest brother Jas" Lucas introduced and Jen smiled politely and nodded in his direction.
"Are you in the industry?" Jas asked curiously.
"No, i'm not" Jen replied politely.
"If you're interested let know", Jas said as he handed her his business card.
Jen received it and put it in her wallet. She then took her own business card and gave it to Jas who raised his eyebrows when he saw her details.
Lucas observed their interaction from the side without saying anything. He knew that not many people knew who was the actual owner of the Larson franchise. Jen had started the business as a hobby that ended up being the life line for her family so she had not publicized her venture. Besides all her restaurants carried the initials F.D.E. So no one was able to trace it back to her.
Jas was skeptical when he saw her enter the living room, despite the fact that his mother had sung praises about her. He thought she was one of those won that were trying to take advantage of Lucas. He has heard of the few won who had such ambition but the experience proved that his brother was not a child but even so he could not refrain himself from raising his guard.
After seeing that the likelihood of Jen being with his brother was very low he could not help the genuine smile that appeared on his face which left everyone in the living room in a trance. Jas was aware of the effect he had on people, which was one of the reasons he had decided to work in the entertainnt industry rather than the hardcore business world.
After Jen was used to Jas' face after the exposure she could finally act normally but not long after her idol appeared and she was in a trance once more.
Jen was sitting next to Lucas so she could easily talk to him.
"How are all of you so good looking?" Jen whispered in Lucas' ear making him chuckle. He did not answer but he pulled her into his embrace instead making Jason shake his head.
"It's been a long ti Jen" Jason said with a smile as he sat next to Jas.
"Yes, Da-, I an Jason" Jen said after stamring slightly making Lucas chuckle.
"Is she a fan?" Jas asked after he observed Jen's behaviour. Jason nodded in response and smiled in Jen's direction. She smiled back after looking at him briefly before her attention was taken away by Lucas.
"She is. Lucas told she has been a fan since I debuted" Jason said with a smile.
"Interesting" Jas answered as he leaned on the back of the comfortable sofa and crossed his legs.
"I'm really touched actually" Jason said as he grabbed the mug Jas was drinking from. He took a huge gulp of the drink and almost spit all of it on the floor making Jas laugh loudly with amusent.
"Couldn't you have warned ?" Jason asked with a big frown on his face. He had taken three mouthfuls of whiskey thinking it was tea.
"I thought you would at least be able to sll it" Jas said as he shrugged his shoulders. If people knew how you treated your artists they would donate money for to cancel my contract. Jason teased making Jas chuckle before he resud the cold expression he carried around.
"Mom, where is dad?" Jason asked when their mother ca back to the living room.
"He just woke up, wait for a bit, he'll be downstairs soon" Hellen said and sat on the loveseat.
The five of them sat in the living room and soon enough Noah ca downstairs dressed casually like his wife and the whole complete family sat down talking good naturedly. Jen noticed that Jas maintained a cold expression most of the ti and seed to derive joy from others' misfortune as he laughed a lot when his brothers did sothing stupid. In contrast
Jason smiled a lot and seed to have no boundaries and teased whoever he could regardless as to whether it was his father or her. Lucas on the other hand was very careful with boundaries and did not go too far like Jason.
He did not joke around as much with his family as he did with her which she found very interesting.
Soon enough the family went outside where the lunch was being served. The six of them settled themselves and ate to their heart's content.
"Was it troubleso to co today?" Hellen asked Jen.
"Not really. Lucas asked this morning and I had no reason to refuse. Besides, you invited to co along" Jen said goodnaturedly.
"This morning?" Hellen asked.
"Mmh, he brought it up as soon as he woke up" Jen explained.
"Oh? at least he called early" Hellen baited.
"Called?" Jen asked feeling puzzled. When Hellen heard her response she smiled widely and did not probe any further. It was already obvious that Jen spent the night at Lucas' house.
Jen was completely oblivious to everyone's stares and continued enjoying her food. Lucas smiled indulgently and played with her hair when he saw she had not realised what happened.
