Chapter 154 - Bring a date. (1/2)

The following day, Jen was able to meet Nancy and Leanna at the cafeteria for a chat since she was already done with her classes. The three girls were talking animatedly up until Jen remembered what Lucas said about inviting Nancy for the company launch party.

”I just remembered” Jen blurted out, silencing the other two girls.

”What is it?” Nancy asked curiously.

”Nancy, Are you free next weekend?” Jen asked Nancy.

”Well I haven't made any plans, so i'm pretty much free, why?” she asked tilting her head.

”Well, there is a launch party at Lucas' company and he was extending an invitation. David will be there” Jen said.

”Really?” Nancy asked her eyes brightening up.

”Mmh, do you want to go?” Jen asked. She really felt like she was being a matchmaker. She did not want to believe that she and Lucas had become 'that' couple that wanted to see everyone around them date.

”Sure” Nancy agreed.

”Have you talked to him at all since sunday?” Jen asked curiously. She really wanted to know if there was any development in the relationship between the two. The only response Jen received was a sigh from Nancy.

”Why what happened?” Jen asked in her excitement.

”You sure look happy” Nancy commented glumly.

”Hehe, sorry, it wasn't intentional” Jen said sheepishly as she leaned on the table.

”Well, I texted him, but his replies shut down every potential conversation we could have had. Does he have no social skills at all? I was so mad I almost threw my phone against the wall.” Nancy said as she vented.

”Tsk tsk, I understand your frustration” Jen said as she shook her head.

”What should I do?” Nancy asked.

”Don't have hard feelings towards him, that's just how his personality is. If you don't like it, then it would be better not to get together in the first place. You'll just be frustrated to death” Jen said as she patted Nancy's shoulder.

”I find his personality endearing actually, cause he is straightforward and doesn't look like he even knows how to mess around” Nancy said.

”Don't underestimate him, you could get surprised” Jen replied as she laughed.

Meanwhile, Lucas had called Dave in his office to discuss the progress report that they were supposed to send to Noah the following day.

There wasn't much amendments that needed to be done. After they were done, they both got up from the lounging area in Lucas' office. Lucas went behind his desk and sat down on the large office chair.

”If there's nothing else then-” David said and turned to make his way out.

”Wait, arrange for the HR department to give Michael a bonus, you look really pleased with his work” Lucas said as he twirled the pen he was holding between his fingers.
