Chapter 325: Brother-in-law. (1/2)

Jen parked the car in the parking lot of the ”shop” that Lucas was talking about. They had gone there to get the car for the race in the first place but Jen thought it was just a normal garage initially only to be surprised by Lucas when he took her to the isolated road where the street race was going to take place.

Lucas draped an arm over her shoulders once she got out of the car and the two of them went into the shop.

”I brought back the car, with another one on top of it,” Lucas said and tossed the car keys towards one of the mechanics in the shop.

”I'm assuming it was a victory?” the mechanic said as he looked at the car keys. He was familiar with Lucas as he was the only other friend of Brian who was interested in street racing.

”It was, where is my car? I'm starving, I want to go have lunch,” Lucas said as he looked around the shop. Lucas was clearly in a good mood and had even gotten more talkative than he normally was.

”It's in the back,” the mechanic said and handed him his car keys.

”Thanks, I'll make sure to visit before I leave,” Lucas said and said goodbye to the rest of the staff before going to get his car with Jen.

”You'll visit before you leave?” Jen asked as she got into their car. Lucas just smiled ambiguously and went to the driver's side and got into the car himself.

”Is there a problem?” he asked as he turned on his car.

”No,” Jen said, but her face clearly said that she had a problem with it.

”Good, let's go have lunch then,” Lucas said and pulled the car out of the shop.

”Where do you want to go eat?” Jen asked, deciding not to stress herself out about something that hasn't happened yet.

”FDE?” Lucas said as if he was suggesting the restaurant but was already driving toward the main restaurant.

”Really?” Jen asked in surprise.

”You do know how popular your restaurants are, right? Are you surprised that I'd want to have a meal from there?” Lucas asked with raised eyebrows.

”Well, when you put it like that,” Jen said with a proud smile as she felt like she had been acknowledged.

”But you are aware of it,” Lucas said with a chuckle.

”I am but I haven't heard it in a while,” Jen said as she shrugged her shoulders.

”Now that you've heard it from me, do you think we can get a table at your super popular restaurant?” Lucas asked as he remembered that they couldn't just pop into the restaurant with no reservation.

”I'll sort it out,” Jen said and took out her phone to call Jake.

”Hi sis,” was the first thing he said when he picked up the phone making Jen smile sentimentally.

”Jake, how are you?” she asked as she took a peek at Lucas.

”I'm good, when do you plan on seeing me? I really missed you,” Jake complained, clearly acting spoiled. He knew that Jen wasn't as mad at him as she was in the beginning, so he was doing his best to curry favour with her.

”Soon, we should go out on a date,” Jen said as she checked her nails.
