Chapter 59 - Stalker? (1/2)

Lucas looked at her strangely after hearing her response. He was both amused and confused at the same time.

”Um, uh, well, I think I went a bit overboard. Just forget that I mentioned it okay?” Jen said self-deprecatingly.

Lucas nodded still slightly confused by her outburst, but he watched her as she quickly rushed into the bathroom. Jen locked the bathroom door behind her and slid to the floor.

She couldn't help but repeatedly scold herself for her impulsiveness before she undressed and finally went to take a shower.

In the meantime, Lucas was in his study busy with things that he needed to sort out for work and in a few minutes, he was completely focused.

He stayed there for about two hours before he heard the door open. Jen walked into his office wearing one of his shirts with her hair falling freely across her shoulders down to her waist.

She looked slightly sleepy since she had taken a short nap before she realised that Lucas was not in the room with her.

She walked towards him and directly sat on his lap. An action that caught Lucas off guard.

”What is it?” Lucas asked as he adjusted his posture to accommodate her.

”Let's go sleep now, it's late,” Jen said sleepily against his neck.

”I still have to work Jen” Lucas patiently explained.

”If it's not urgent then do it tomorrow, if you don't have to do it then delegate it. You look like a micromanager, get someone to help you, if you keep this up you'll burnout sooner or later” Jen said as she rested her legs on the armrest of the chair.

”But Jen, I still have to-”Lucas started.

”Listen, babe, you'll try to work extra hours today so that you can free up time tomorrow, but in business, there's no free time if you aren't being efficient. I'm sure there are a lot of competent people in the company, why aren't you using them? Why are you unnecessarily making things difficult for yourself?” Jen asked.

Lucas was stumped because she was right that he was a micromanager, and he couldn't completely give up the reigns so that someone else can handle the work.
