"Thank you so much, my love.."? He can't help but mutter with his heart already full.
The fact that Jennifer was wishing so greatly was another deal in which he succeeded.
On the other hand, Olivia's eyes saw how happy Lucas appeared. She had to dig her nails into her flesh, trying hard to not let her displeasure display on her face.
But it was long caught since Jack had noted the same way before and he had only a smile to bring up his face.
Lowering his eyelids, he took the help of his drink before he looked again at Mr. Greyson, "Congratulations to you then..Mr. Greyson..."
"So kind of. After all, I'm doing business with your younger brother only. It will only strengthen our relationship and terms..." Mr. Greyson's told openly.
"Sure it will, I'm looking forward to even inviting you to another project in the near future when I launch then...Till then, I guess you should go ahead with Lucas itself..." Jack had tried his best to create a happy environment.
Whereas Lucas saw his brother still trying to interact with Mr. Greyson, it didn't irk him anymore.
At the end of the day,? they do have signed the papers, making them officially the real partner.

Breaking his embrace from Jennifer, Lucas stood on his toes. Seeing him, Mr. Greyson to stand when he extended his other hand, "Looking forward to having a successful l deal with you, Mr. Smith. I hope that it will be a success.."
"Indeed it will be.." confidence lingered in Lucas's voice.
But the same can't be said of Jack, whose eyes narrowed. Subconsciously his gaze went to see documents sitting on the table. "Lucas, I don't know about anything else but since you have already signed the documents with Mr. Greyson, shall I look at the documents too.?"
"No!" Lucas's instant answer didn't surprise him either. "Why so? What is there to hide in the documents?" Jack's eager tone pushed the buttons of the patience of Lucas.
Instead of answering him, Lucas had moved his gaze at his lovely fiance to which he asked, "Love...Can you go ahead and keep the documents back in the bag?"
"Sure!"
Jenifer gave a small nod before she took the documents in her hand and walked back to the bar. There, she opened the bag and pushed all the papers signed inside, and closed it. However, no one noticed the small smirk that had pulled her lips 'Lucas...you will become a fool very soon....'
Without going empty-handed, Jennifer has picked up a bottle of champagne for the celebration. She walked back to Lucas to hand it over with a smile, "You have got such a good deal now. Pop up the champagne and do the honors.."
Lucas happily took the champagne bottle from her hands to once look at Mr. Greyson, "Why don't you do that honors, Mr. Greyson?"
Since the man was his investor, he will have to give him high regards as well.
Throughout, he had ignored Jack like any thin air and would continue to do so, even at this moment too.
But it didn't hinder Jack either, where Mr.Greyson shook his head, "Please you do. After all, it is your land!"
"Alright!"
Without any other question in the process, Lucas had taken the bottle in his hands to pop it out like any other champagne.
A loud sound created as the wood had popped out of the drink, of all, where he drank himself from the same.
Afterward, when he had finished drinking, did he try to step closer to the current standing Jennifer. "You should try this as well, baby..."
"Lucas..." Jenifer had immediately brought her other hand around the bottle where she gave him a sweet smile to respond back, "You know that this isn't advisable to me. The doctor had strictly warned me..."
"Oh, God! Those damn doctors!" Lucas cursed them under his breath but surely, he didn't mind either.
Rather, he had kept his other hand around her shoulders to drink from the bottle directly without even asking others for the same.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMeanwhile, Jenifer's gaze traveled to see Jack's expressions. Similar to her, he had the same smirk on, where he saw Lucas getting drunk all over again.
Neither did they try to see the documents once, but surely it gave them immense satisfaction, despite all the time.
He gave Jenifer a small nod, so did Jennifer in the acknowledgment of the events and plan getting a pure success.
However, what they all didn't see coming was Lucas getting too drunk.
It all befall on Jennifer, where she had seen him continuously, drinking from one bottle to another. Even a sigh escaped from her lips where she saw him getting out of her control. 'God... how am I supposed to handle him?'
For Olivia, Jennifer had to keep a faint smile on her lips, as if she was fine with his attitude. Her inner soul was ready to throw him in the ocean itself,? due to how much he was stinking at this time.
It did make her feel nausea, where Lucas's entire weight was coming all over her, "Lucas....stop drinking now..I think you should rest.."
"I think so too." Jack told her from the other side, "You should take him to one of the rooms down. Here, I will talk with Mr. Greyson and give him company."
Jenifer's eyes went to see Mr. Greyson, who also agreed with his words, "Please take him to the room and you both should rest together now...he is too drunk to handle himself..."
At last, Jennifer finally took the advice where she had to keep one of his arms around her shoulders, and with the slow steps, she had made him walk in the direction of the rooms. He was too much weighted but somehow, she had managed.
But on the other hand, Olivia's face almost lost all of its colors when she realized something., 'Are they going into the same room now..?'
