Lucas and Adley seemed to enter a famous restaurant not far from his company office. They walked side by side with sure steps and a straight look ahead. Behind them was a woman named Valerie who was none other than Lucas' secretary. Because, today they will have a meeting with their new client.
Ah, if only the person to be met was not an important client, maybe Lucas would have stayed in the office enjoying a cup of hot coffee, as a celebration of his victory for successfully kicking Keenan out of the house.
"Good afternoon!" Lucas and Adley immediately greeted the woman who was at table number 15. A table that matched the information they got from their client's secretary.
The woman who was sitting there flinched slightly when she realized their presence. She immediately got up from her seat and faced the three of them. Looks press body clothes attached to her body. A blue shirt with a button top that was deliberately opened to show a little cleavage, plus a black mini-skirt that didn't reach knee length. Ah, what a sight that can disturb the concentration of men.
Lucas who accidentally saw the scene immediately turned his face in any direction. In contrast to Adley who only swallowed heavy saliva while still enjoying the view, it would be a shame to pass up.
"Good afternoon, Sir. Please have a seat," replied the woman very friendly and immediately responded by them.
The woman sat back down, after they sat on the sofa in front of her. She then pulled her skirt down slightly. It was obvious that she was very uncomfortable with the clothes she was wearing.
"Sorry, Mr. Victor is going to the toilet. Please wait a moment." The woman informed.
"Relax, there's still time." Adley replied casually. However, Lucas didn't respond to anything.
"Oh yes, my name is Renata. I'm Mr. Victor's secretary." The woman stretched out her hand towards Lucas who was still staring in any direction.
Adley immediately elbowed the base of Lucas' arm, when Renata's outstretched hand didn't get a response from his best friend.
Lucas gasped and immediately noticed Renata's hand still hanging in front of him. He immediately welcomed the outstretched hand without a smile etched on his face. His gaze was so flat, in contrast to Adley who kept smiling seductively when he looked at Renata.
"Lucas." He said simply.
"Nice to meet you. It turns out that you are more handsome than what I saw on television," said Renata as she let go of her hand with a wide smile.
Too bad, Lucas didn't seem interested in Renata's compliments. This was evident when he did not give any response to Renata's words. In fact, he immediately took out his cellphone from the pocket of the suit he was wearing, in an attempt to avoid the sight that would certainly make him uncomfortable.
Yes, of course. Any man will surely be disturbed by the sexy scenery displayed by the female figure in front of his eyes. He was, after all, a normal man who could be tempted, if long enough to put up with such a situation. He avoided that as much as he could by not focusing on Renata.
Renata's hand turned and was immediately greeted warmly by Adley and Valerie.
Unlike Lucas, Adley has repeatedly stolen attention for the beauty of Renata's face that is clearly displayed in front of his eyes. He was not someone who fell in love easily, just like Lucas. However, the difference is he likes to tease women just to be played and maybe Renata will be the next target. What's more, he is currently single. So, he is free to choose any woman without having to feel afraid that someone will be angry or jealous of him.
"Good afternoon, Mr Lucas."
The baritone voice instantly distracted them, including Adley, who at that time was still focused on the activity of looking at Renata.
They immediately stood up and looked at the tall man who was estimated to be around 30 years old, only 3 years apart from Lucas' current age.
"Mr. Lucas, this is Mr. Victor, the leader of our company." Renata said introducing her boss.
Lucas looked at Renata for a moment, then turned to Victor Sagara, the CEO of a well-known property company in Indonesia. "Oh yes, good afternoon, Mr. Victor. Nice to meet you in person." He said, holding out his hand.
"I'm also very pleased to meet you, Mr. Lucas. Sorry for the long wait." Victor replied as he shook Lucas' hand.
Today was the first time Lucas met with Victor, because before that he always sent other employees to meet the CEO of the Sagara Corp company.
Not to forget, Victor also shook hands with Adley and Valerie. After that, they sat back down and started discussing their plans for cooperation. In the midst of their activities, several times Renata stole Lucas' attention secretly, making Lucas, who had just realized it, feel uncomfortable with Renata's attitude towards him.
Which man would be comfortable when viewed in such a sensual style by a foreign woman. Maybe Lucas would be interested, if he was the type of guy who likes to play with girls. However, in fact he is a man who is very cold to women. Of course, any beautiful woman will not easily seduce him.
That was the reason why he liked Ellena so much. Because his wife is not an easy woman to conquer like other women who are even willing to sell their pride for money.
"Ahem, so what do you think, Mr. Victor?" Lucas asked as he shifted his seat to a more upright position while crossing his legs and focusing on Victor, after Adley had managed to explain their plan of cooperation.
"Fine, I agree, Mr. Lucas. I'm sure our cooperation will go smoothly," replied Victor with a bright smile.
"Certain." Lucas put on a confident expression. When it comes to work, he is never careless and always makes a very thorough work plan. That's why clients rarely refuse to work with him, quite the opposite. He is the one who often refuses to cooperate with other companies, because the work plans are less attractive.
"That means we can sign the contract now?" asked Victor to confirm.
"Yes, of course, Mr. Victor. Later, Adley and my secretary will take care of our cooperation contract. I'll let go to the toilet for a moment." Lucas lifted his right leg that crossed his left before he decided to get up from his seat.
"Oh yes, please, Mr Lucas." Victor replied.
"Okay, I'll excuse myself." Lucas got up, before he made his move. He glanced at Renata briefly, then left the place.
Lucas entered a men's room. It didn't last long. After he finished urinating, he immediately came out of one of the bathrooms that were lined up there. He paused for a moment, right in front of a large mirror above the sink. He then smoothed his hair which was not messy at all. Only for a moment he mingled with the reflection of his own face. He then came out of the toilet.
His upright body seemed to swing his legs with one hand tucked into the pocket of the pants he was wearing. However, just as he was about to turn a corner, a woman who was walking a little hastily suddenly bumped into him.
"Aaaah!" shouted the woman who almost fell because of her slipping shoe. However, because of the dexterity of Lucas' hands that caught her, the woman finally fell into Lucas' arms.
Lucas seemed to hold the woman's body with the position of the stomach attached to each other, without the slightest distance. Only their faces were a few centimeters apart.
"Miss Renata?" Lucas widened his eyes when he found the figure of a familiar woman still in his arms.
"M-Mr Lucas?" Renata also looked surprised when she noticed the man in front of her. She immediately adjusted her shirt, which was wide open due to an accidental tug from Lucas' hand, which was holding her so tightly. I don't know since when Lucas noticed the part of his body that was slightly exposed.
Lucas woke up from his daydream and immediately released Renata's body from his embrace. "Sorry, I didn't mean to." He said, looking away in any direction.
"It's okay, Sir. I'm the one who apologizes for bumping into you. Sorry that I wasn't careful when walking." Renata replied as she lowered her skirt a little which looked very tight on her body.
Lucas glanced at Renata who still seemed to be tidying up her clothes. 'Doesn't he have any other clothes besides that?' He muttered in surprise.
"Are you done?" asked Renata who suddenly made Lucas blink and wake up from his daydream.
"What?" Lucas widened his eyes in surprise as if he didn't understand where Renata was talking. "What do you mean, Miss?" He asked for sure.
"I mean, are you done with the toilet?" explained Renata while licking her lips in a sensual manner as if to seduce Lucas.
Lucas was silent for a moment because he didn't expect that Renata would ask such a stupid thing. Yes, how not? He thought, without even having to ask, Renata would already know the answer.
"Yes, as you can see." Lucas answered flatly, then shot a disapproving look at Renata, who was still smiling at him.
Renata forced a little laugh, although she actually felt uncomfortable with Lucas' attitude.
"Next time, wear clothes that make you comfortable. If necessary, find a well-known designer so that your clothes are no longer short of such materials!" Lucas quipped, before Renata managed to respond to his earlier remark.
Renata immediately lowered her head as if she had been slapped by Lucas' words this time. Her face was flushed. Lucas' words really made her peechless and numb.
"Okay, I'll go first."
Without wanting to linger, Lucas immediately left the place when Renata was still looking down in shame because of his actions.
"Sorry for the long wait." Lucas landed back on the chair that had previously been his seat.
"No problem, Mr Lucas." Victor replied casually.
"Have you signed the contract?" Lucas asked, looking seriously at Victor's face.
"Please sign here." Lucas gasped when Adley handed him the contract that was supposed to be Valerie's job.
"Okay.." Lucas said, then did what his best friend asked him to do.
