The following day, Jen went to university as she normally did and attended her cla.s.ses as she normally did. This time, Lucas did not drop her off since he had a long day at work and dropping her off and picking her up later would just be a waste of time.
After Jen was done with her cla.s.ses, she met up with Nancy and Leanna at the cafeteria. The place was pretty lively that even Jen was curious about what was going on.
"Do you know what"s going on?" Jen asked the two girls in the noisy cafeteria. There"s someone who came yesterday that has pretty much gone viral on campus. Nancy said as she drank her water.
"Really? Is he handsome?" Jen asked curiously. She liked handsome people, she shouldn"t be blamed.
"Definitely, I think I have a picture that was sent in the cla.s.s chat group," Nancy said as she took out her phone and went to search for the picture that she received. After she found it, she pa.s.sed her phone over to Jen who nonchalantly took the phone and looked at the photo.
She ended up choking on the juice that she was drinking through a straw when she saw Tyler"s smirking face on the picture. She couldn"t believe that he actually came to her campus the previous day.
"Has he lost his mind?" Jen asked out loud making Nancy and Leanna look at her curiously.
"What is it? Do you know him?" Nancy asked and smiled in satisfaction when Jen nodded to her question.
"Who is he?" Leanna asked.
"You don"t recognise him?" Jen asked the two girls in disbelief.
"Who is he?" Nancy asked her curiosity piqued.
"He is Tyler Ainsworth. The successor of AT Technologies" Jen said as she continued to look at his picture. After the initial surprise, she did not feel much of anything from seeing his picture.
"Really?" Nancy said and s.n.a.t.c.hed the phone from Jen"s hands.
"Mmh," Jen confirmed not bothering with any more explanations.
"How did you recognise him so quickly?" Nancy asked.
"Ex-boyfriend," Jen said without much worry. The two girls were her friends, there was no point in hiding that she dated Tyler before she started dating Lucas. These were her friends after all,
"You have such refined tastes" Nancy commented as she looked at Tyler"s photos on the internet.
"Why?" Jen asked slightly confused.
"How do you have such good looking boyfriends?" Nancy asked as she finally looked up from her phone to properly look at Jen.
Jen speechlessly looked at Nancy. It wasn"t like she dated a dozen men right?
"Isn"t it just two guys?" Leanna defended Jen while laughing at her expression.
"You have a point," Nancy said with a chuckle.
"Tsk tsk. Isn"t this too unscientific? How is he so good looking?" Nancy asked and handed her phone to Leanna who looked at the picture with raised eyebrows.
"When did you start dating him?" Nancy asked curiously even leaning forward so she wouldn"t miss any details making Jen laugh in amus.e.m.e.nt.
"When I was 21, we broke up last year," Jen said as if that was enough to summarise their relations.h.i.+p.
"Did he also chase you around like Lucas?" Nancy asked making Leanna laugh. It seemed like it was such a long time but it was just a few months ago.
"No, I did the chasing then," Jen said feeling slightly embarra.s.sed.
"I understand," Leanna said as she nodded. "But why were you so reluctant to get with Lucas?" Leanna asked slightly puzzled.
"I was too busy to properly get over my break up. I actually kinda had that breaking down in tears moment while I had just started dating Lucas. Now that I think about it I"m really embarra.s.sed. I can"t imagine how he felt seeing his girl crying over an ex. I should really make it up to him" Jen said with a sheepish laugh. Both the girls looked at her with wide eyes.
"How did we not know about this?" Nancy asked clearly surprised by the revelation.
"It"s cause she didn"t say anything," Leanna said.
"Mmh, I thought I"d be bothered seeing him but now I"m not worried at all," Jen said and continued drinking her juice from the straw. She didn"t hate Tyler, they just didn"t work out when they were together.
It was her first relations.h.i.+p so she did not know what to expect in return from Tyler, it was also Tyler"s first serious relations.h.i.+p as he just fooled around with people before then since women were always throwing themselves at him. To some extent, she was one of them, the only difference was probably her persistence.
That was probably why he had tried to dissuade her from getting together with him back then, and even though he never cheated or abused her he was pretty much satisfied with receiving affection from her and didn"t think he should reciprocate all the effort she putting on the relations.h.i.+p.
She was also in a really bad place in her life and she never shared anything with him since she never took him as a person that would help her, and that alone should have told her enough about the dynamics of their relations.h.i.+p.
"Well, it means your over him right?" Nancy asked.
"Mmh, but I"ll know once I meet him physically," Jen said but she was wondering why he came to her university yesterday. Didn"t he just arrive the previous day?
Although she had a nagging feeling that he came to look for her she decided to dismiss those suspicions even though she could not think of any other plausible reason for him to come to her campus, and by the look of the picture, it looks like it was taken at the parking lot. If it was the parking lot then could he have seen…
Just the thought of it made her face turn an interesting shade of red.
"What is it, Jen?" Nancy asked curiously. Jen did not even want to say anything, she was thoroughly mortified. Lucas really has a knack of getting her into these ridiculous situations. She really hoped he did not see anything.
