Jen had been the first one to wake in the morning and saw that her limbs were tangled with Lucas", however she did not care because she had an emergency bathroom trip. It was something only other women would understand.
Luckily she was not too aggressive and did not wake Lucas up but the slamming of the bathroom door made his eyebrows wrinkle but they eventually smoothed out and he continued sleeping. Jen sighed in relief when she saw that she was safe but her mood soured because she had to do this for a couple of more days.
She got undressed and showered and went to her dressing room to wear her t-s.h.i.+rt and a pair of shorts. When she came out of the dressing room, she saw that Lucas was still deeply asleep. She didn"t want to bother him since he was probably tired from all the work he was doing yesterday.
She however curiously went to check on his face and saw that they had become a slightly darker colour, but the swelling had already gone down. She wondered if he would have to attend the launch party like this and the guilt hit her once more.
She decided that she was going to look for a way to speed up the healing time, otherwise she would have to apply makeup on his face to hide it.
Jen sighed and proceeded to leave the bedroom and went to the kitchen to make herself a cup of tea before she settled on the living room floor and started searching for ways to quickly reduce bruising.
She noted the processes and the creams that she would need before she put on a pair of sandals since she decided to go to the pharmacy downstairs.
When she appeared at the hotel lobby she unexpectedly stood out from how she was dressed and she only realised it because a lot of people stared at her. One of the receptionists recognised her and walked towards her. Startling Jen when she suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Good morning miss Larson, is there anything I can help you with?" the girl asked with a smile. Jen felt slightly bad for her when she saw her smile so brightly at her so early in the morning.
"No, I"m alright, I"m just going to the pharmacy. I"ll just walk there to get some fresh air" Jen said as she returned the girl"s smile. The girl nodded and even escorted her to the exit before she returned to the back of the reception desk with the other receptionists.
Jen chuckled as she left the hotel. She did not think that she would have received this kind of treatment from the employees. She hardly ever saw them in the first place since she hardly ever appeared at the hotel lobby. Jen took her time going to the pharmacy and handed the list of the things she needed to the pharmacist at the counter who looked at her with raised eyebrows.
"It"s for a nasty bruise," Jen said giving him a short explanation before the guy nodded and went to collect the things she wanted.
"Can you get me two of everything?" Jen asked from the counter and the pharmacist made a sound of ascent before he brought everything the counter.
"Where is the bruising?" the guy asked as he was ringing up her things.
"On his nose. Will these work?" Jen asked curiously.
"To some extent, they"ll help. But make sure to do a patch test to make sure he isn"t allergic to anything. It would be troublesome if they end up reacting on his face" the pharmacist said and also managed to get her to buy some bandages and painkillers for Lucas.
By the time she got out she was carrying a large bag full of what she had bought and other first-aid necessities not knowing that Lucas had a few first aid kits in the house. She arrived at the hotel in another five minutes and walked straight to the elevator lest she is followed again if she looked to be clueless.
When the elevator doors opened she was face to face with Michael who also looked surprised that the elevator stopped.
"You"re here," Jen said with a laugh since she thought his expression was funny.
"Ah, yes. I was told to bring some things for Mr Lucas" Michael replied making Jen laugh again. She found it funny that he addressed Lucas as Mr Lucas it sounded strange to her for some reason.
"I hope he"ll be awake. Let"s go" Jen said once the elevator doors opened on her floor. She opened the door and got in the house with Michael following behind her.
She took off her shoes and wore her slippers before handing him one of the extra pairs she had bought for guests and asked him to wait on one of the living room sofas before she went upstairs to check on Lucas.
When she got to her room she was greeted by his sleeping form that was still comfortably lying in bed. She approached the bed and started shaking him awake.
"Lucas, Michael is here," Jen said as she shook him awake.
"Mmh?" Lucas responded as he turned to face up.
"Is there anything you have to give him? I"ll go sort it out for you" Jen said when she saw how tired he looked.
"I put all the necessary things on the right side of my desk in a red folder," Lucas said his words coming out slightly slurred from sleep. Jen smiled and pushed his hair away from his face before she went to his study to pick up the things he told her to give Michael.
"He is pretty tired. Are these the things you need?" Jen asked Michael once she was in the living room and handed the folder to Michael.
Michael opened it and checked if everything was inside and found that Lucas had sorted through even more than he was supposed to. He felt like he really needed to work harder when he saw all the other things Lucas did.
"Yes, it"s more than I was expecting. David asked me to drop these off today. I"ll pick them up in the evening and if there is anything else I"ll drop it off then too.
"Mmh", Jen said as she took the doc.u.ments he handed her.
"Did you have breakfast? I can fix you something quick" Jen asked when she saw that Michael was putting the folder she had given her in his bag.
"I had breakfast at home. I"ll be going now, Jen." Michael said with a smile as he slung his bag over his shoulder and said his goodbyes before he left. She figured that he probably had to work all day so he was in a hurry to leave.
