Chapter 404

Drinking in her face a moment longer, he got up to see to his morning routine.

His movements were light as he swiftly freshened himself up and stepped out of the bathroom.

He had to fly today so he grabbed his suitcase and left the villa.

When Spencer spotted Lucas walking toward him, he hurriedly opened the car door and took the suitcase from the

other man.

Lucas got into the car only to see another man already sitting inside.

“Hehehe. Did you have a fun night, Lucas?” Joseph was blatantly staring at the other man’s neck with a wicked

smirk on his lips. He wondered how intense last night’s ‘battles’ were.

That’s quite a big mark you have on your neck, Lucas!

Lucas glared at his friend, the sharp look in his eyes instantly causing Joseph’s smile to vanish and a serious

expression to appear instead.

“Ahem. There must have been a lot of mosquitos last night, eh?” Joseph tried to inject as much solemnity into his

voice as he could.

Lucas ignored him even as his fingers drifted up to touch his neck.

His lips pursed tightly.

Last night, Ashlyn was like a wildcat. In the peak of her passion, she had lunged at him and bit down on his neck.

Even now, his neck throbbed slightly.

He put down his hand and eyed Joseph. “What are you doing here?”

Joseph moved closer. His eyes kept moving down to glance at the prominent bruise while he replied, “Have you

already forgotten? I have to go to London on business today.”

Not a sound left Lucas after that as he remembered that Joseph would be on his flight today.

Meanwhile, at the bustling airport, Jenny had her phone sandwiched between her cheek and her shoulder as she

dragged her suitcase behind her. “Hera, you have to hurry. The plane’s about to take off.”

“Janet, it’s really congested on the roads right now. I’m more than anxious to get there as well.” Turning to the

driver, Hera urged impatiently, “Drive faster!”

Despite the impatience that welled in her, Jenny’s tone came out friendly, “It’s fine. There’s still a little bit of time,

so you should be able to arrive on time.”

Just then, she spotted Lucas and Joseph getting out of their car.

Her eyes lit up in surprise and admiration.

Focusing her attention back on her call, she said, “I have to hang up now. Get here as quick as you can.”

She did not wait for Hera’s reply before she ended the call and headed for Lucas. “Good morning, Captain Nolan!”

Lucas’ face was expressionless and cold. He did not even glance at Jenny as he nodded stiffly in reply to her

greeting.

Joseph chuckled and introduced himself, “Hello, I’m Joseph Field.”

In contrast to his friend’s dark face, Joseph had a welcoming smile on his handsome face and looked significantly

more approachable.

The smile that had frozen on Jenny’s face at the cold response from Lucas relaxed and became more natural. She

answered politely, “Mr. Field, it’s a pleasure to finally meet you.”

Joseph was one of Lucas’ best friends. They were a close-knit circle of friends that not just any socialites could join

as they wished.

While the Holt family was wealthy, Jenny had only ever seen Joseph from afar at certain functions. This was the first

time she had been so close to the mayor’s son.

Needless to say, she was more than a little excited.

“I need to get to my meeting. You can wait at the departure hall.” Shooting Joseph one last glare, Lucas strode for

the staff-only elevators.

Jenny was quick to follow him. The pilot’s uniform clung to his muscled body tightly, and even staring at his back

was enough for her heart to pound faster.

She deliberately moved to his side so it would seem like they had come to work together as they entered the

conference room.

Inside, Nancy and Fred was already waiting for them.

When they saw how Jenny and Lucas came in together, they were stunned.

Jenny purposely gave Nancy an embarrassed smile. “Morning!”

The hands wrapped around her coffee cup clenched tighter, and Nancy replied curtly, “Morning.”

Just what is going on here? Why did Jenny arrive with Captain Nolan? Did something happen between them that I

don’t know about?

She did not get a chance to think on the matter further when Lucas’ icy voice rang out.
