Convincing her (Jen and Lucas)

After the two took a relaxing bath, Lucas went to get dressed as Jen went to the kitchen to make breakfast. She was in a good mood, feeling refreshed and woke up peacefully, so she was humming a little tune as she prepared a simple breakfast for Lucas. 

Lucas was done not long after, so when he walked out of the room, Jen was still preparing other things for him. He walked into the kitchen and made himself a cup of coffee as he watched Jen cut up some fruit. 

He was in an even better mood because Jen enjoyed the smell of coffee recently, which meant that he wasn't being pushed to drink tea instead. 

"Let's have lunch together later," Lucas suggested as he moved behind her to hug her waist. 

"Do you have anything in mind?" Jen asked and smiled when he kissed the back of her neck. 

"Why don't you surprise me?" Lucas asked, and Jen nodded, her smile widening. She knew he was accommodating her because what he wants might cause her to feel sick. 

"Alright," Jen agreed and leaned against him. 

"If you act like this, I won't want to go to work," Lucas said as he rubbed her still flat stomach. 

"Breakfast is ready," Jen said with a laugh and Lucas picked up the two plates in front of her and took them to the dining table. 

"Come sit," Lucas said as he went to the kitchen to take his brewed coffee and warm some milk for Jen. Jen sat down and ate some grapes as she waited for him. 

Lucas put the glass of milk in front of her as he sat down to join her for breakfast. 

"The girls will be coming today," Jen said as she took a bite of her toast. Lucas knew that if the girls were coming, then the guys would definitely be coming as well. Ethan just had a son, so there was no way he was letting Leanna make the trip without him. He had also talked to Jason, and he had told him that they were definitely going to throw a bachelor party for him. 

"So will the guys. I'll have to talk to the manager to reserve the whole floor. Is your sister going to come too?" Lucas asked, and Jen nodded in confirmation. 

"Jacob will be here too," Jen added as she drank her milk. 

"I think I should reserve two floors," Lucas said after some thought. Forget two floors, it'll probably have to be most of the floors by tomorrow since they were going to be having guests that might use their hotel for accommodation. It was unfortunate that the Lewis & Co. Hotel was still under construction, otherwise, they would have all flocked there. 

Breakfast ended quickly and after stealing a kiss from Jen, who was fixing up his tie, Lucas left for work. Jen lazed around for most of the morning and started preparing lunch afterwards.

Meanwhile, Laura was laying on James's office sofa as she watched him hard at work on his desk. She wanted to go to Country M early so she can shop and have fun before tomorrow. But because of James... and a few other people, but mainly because of James, they had to travel in the evening. They would probably arrive very late at night, which ruined her plans. 

She sighed loudly as she stretched herself before laying on her stomach. James briefly watched the way her back arched as she stretched herself and his eyes went back to the documents that he was dealing with. After they posted his face online, he suddenly received a huge fanbase that he had never asked for. Laura had even taken up the task of 'managing' his image online and openly posted photos of himself online. Needless to say, the number of followers on his profile that only used to post upcoming events that involved the celebrities in his management skyrocketed. 

James also made an appearance on his girlfriend's social media quite often she would do her best to try and make everyone jealous of their PDA, just like she was doing now. James had already become numb to her antics, so he just silently worked as she took photos of him and complained online. Laura became engrossed in the responses to her posts that she totally forgot about James, who was watching her amuse herself at his expense. 

Laura was happily scrolling through the comments until she felt a tug at her hair. She looked up and saw James sitting on the armrest in front of her. She put her phone aside and rested her chin on her hands as she looked up at him. 

"Are you done with work already?" she asked, and James smiled when he saw the hope in her eyes. 

"Not yet, it'll take longer than I expected," James said as his finger poked her soft cheek. 

"That won't do," Laura said as she sat up to look at him. 

"What do you mean it won't do?" James asked as he leaned forward and held her chin in his hand. This pose, was too much for Laura. 

"Oh, has the overbearing CEO come out?" she asked with a mischievous smile and James laughed incredulously. He was going to show her how overbearing he can be once they get to Country M. For now, he was too busy clearing her schedule over the next few days and working on more things that he would have. 

"I know that my condition for joining your company was for you to manage me, but you don't need to do that. You have too much on your plate as it is. Besides, I don't need to work as much as you make me work," Laura said, not forgetting to convince him to give him less work. She's glad that she had never shown any interest in anything besides modelling, otherwise, her schedule would be much busier than it already was. 

"You think I can leave you to someone else?" James asked as he traced his thumb over her plump red lips. Even Laura was reluctant with this. His being her manager meant that they could do a lot of naughty things when no one was looking. She also had more access to him recently since Jason was busy with being a director. 

Laura opened her mouth, and her tongue licked the pad of his thumb. James exhaled helplessly, as he knew she was trying to tempt him away from work. 

"If you keep doing this, I'll just end up taking a longer time to finish," James said, but didn't even pull away from her and let her continue to tease his finger.

"If we are late because of me, I'll be more forgiving," Laura responded and nipped his fingertip and James's smile became wider.

"Why don't we go all out then?" James asked as he pulled his finger out of her mouth.

"Going all out will be a bit too much. I'll accompany you properly on your break," Laura said and undid the leather belt that encircled his lean waist.

"You little minx," James teased before leaning over and kissing her. As he did so, he was grateful that he was almost done with work.
