Chapter 301: Late (1/2)

Lucas took Jen to the store they went to the previous day after the two of them finished having their breakfast. Jen's eyes sparkled when she was there and they even took her to the upper floor where they had more of the rare things.

Lucas said nothing but just sat on a chair that was brought to him and went through his emails. If he had known that they would be there for such a long time, he might as well have brought his laptop so he could get some work done as she was shopping.

Whenever she asked him what he thought about an item she was interested in, he just nodded and smiled and also occasionally shook his head when he saw things that didn't aesthetically appeal to him.

Lucas sat on that chair for about two hours before he lost his patience. His phone was almost out of charge, and Jen didn't look like she was about to finish shopping.

”Why don't we go get some lunch?” Lucas asked from behind her, startling Jen into almost dropping the painting she was holding.

”You're hungry already? Hasn't it been like ten minutes?” Jen asked without turning to look at him.

”It's been two hours,” Lucas replied, feeling miffed.

”Really?” Jen asked and checked her phone to see that it was already past noon.

”Yes, and I'm starving. I think you've probably bought enough things to fill two houses, isn't it enough?” Lucas asked.

”It's not my fault that the things here are beautiful,” Jen said as she looked up at Lucas and smiled.

”Next time I'll tell them to hide the beautiful things,” Lucas joked as he took the painting from her and walked her to get what she bought checked out.

”Can you deliver these to L. L Hotel?” Lucas said as he paid for the things.

”Yes, just fill the form with more details,” the cashier said with a friendly smile. Jen took the form from her and quickly filled it before she gave it back.

”Let's go,” Jen said and hooked her arm around Lucas' arm and the two of them walked out of the store. When they were both finally in the car, Jen turned to look at Lucas.

”I was going to pay for those things,” Jen said in complain.

”Does it matter who pays for them?” Lucas asked without the least bit of concern in his voice.

”Well, I'm the one who wanted them,” Jen said, trying to rationalize. She didn't want to embarrass him in front of his employees, that was why she said nothing when they were still at the store.

”You wanted them, but you'll use them to decorate our home right?” Lucas asked, his gaze focused on the road.

”Well, yes… but still, I would have paid for them,” Jen replied, but her voice had lost the conviction it had in the beginning.
