Convincing Her (Jen And Lucas) Chapter 206 - He Loves It.

Lucas was busy with work in his office when he heard the notification tone of his phone. He absentmindedly picked up his phone and opened the message only to see that it was sent by Jen.

He curiously opened it and saw that there was a picture she sent. He unhesitantly opened it and had his breath taken away.

If he said she looked beautiful it would really be an understatement. He wondered how good she must have looked in real life to actually end up looking like this on a picture. After reading the message she attached to the picture, he sent a reply immediately.

[I love it] he replied.

Jen smiled when she received the message. She looked at the girls with the smile still plastered on her face.

"He loves it," Jen said while smiling brightly.

"That's great," Nancy said.

"Okay, let me change out of this and then we'll go find something for you," Jen said happily and went back to the dressing room where the female clerks a.s.sisted her in taking off the dress.

"Can you please bag it for me, I'll pick it up at the counter," Jen said after taking off the dress.

The two girls nodded and left her alone in the dressing room to get dressed. After Jen changed back into her dress, she walked out of the dressing towards the Nancy and Leanna.

"Have you seen anything you like?" Jen asked Nancy who just shook her head to show that she hadn't.

"Don't worry about it, we have a lot more options to browse through," Jen said as she went to the counter to pay for the dress.

After handing over her card and having it swiped, she was given the shopping bag that contained her dress. It wasn't just folded and kept inside, they had carefully folded it and put it in a box before placing it in the shopping bag.

"Thank you," Jen said with a smile as she turned to leave with her friends. The clerks also thanked her with big smiles on their faces. How could they not be happy? They didn't have to worry about not selling that pricey dress anymore, and their commission for the sale was definitely guaranteed.

They didn't want to imagine what would have happened if they had decided to take the dress out five minutes later, that customer wouldn't have seen it at all, even though the fact that she saw it in the first place was already an impressive feat.

Nancy was only able to find a long silver dress that had a long slit all the way to her mid-thigh. It subtly glittered when the light hit it just perfectly and was also a one-shoulder dress. Both Jen and Leanna were smiling brightly when she came out of the dressing room to show them the dress.

The dress really suited her, the black flowers that ran from one side of the dress to the other were the icing on the cake, they showcased her slim waist and generous hips perfectly.

"You look beautiful," Leanna said with a bright smile and Jen nodded in agreement. Nancy felt shy all of a sudden and turned around to look at herself in the mirror. She had to admit that the dress really suited her.

"I'm getting it," Nancy said and turned around to look at the girls. Leanna nodded in encouragement while Jen snapped a photo of her. 

"Why did you take a picture?" Nancy asked.

"I know of a person who would appreciate my efforts," Jen said and sent the picture to David.

How could Nancy not know who she was talking about? She didn't even bother dissuading her and instead, went to change back into her clothes.

After Nancy changed her clothes, she went to the counter to pick up her dress that had been taken away by one of the sales clerks to have it packed and ready to go. She quickly paid for the dress and soon enough, the girls were out of the store.

"Now, we need shoes and jewelry," Jen said and it was like the shopping trip had started all over again.

It was quite late by the time the girls were done shopping, and Jen had even got Lucas a matching tie for the event as she shopped. She did not dawdle on the way home and directly returned to the hotel.

Fortunately, she only bought what she needed and did not go on a spree, so she did not have too many bags with her. She took her shopping bags from the backseat and locked the car before going to the elevators. 

She sighed heavily once she was inside, she started to consider whether she should just get an a.s.sistant to help her deal with these things. The thought of just having a rack of clothes, a collection of jewellery and a number of shoes being brought to her for her to just choose sounded very appealing.

The elevator stopped at her floor and she dragged herself outside and into the penthouse. She left everything at the door and immediately took off the wedges she was wearing and dragged her feet into the house before collapsing on the living room sofa.

Her feet were killing her, she hadn't thought that Nancy was so picky so they ended up walking more than she had antic.i.p.ated. If she knew she definitely would have worn simple sandals or even running shoes. She wouldn't have dared to wear wedges at all.

"Lucas?" she called out tiredly. She noticed that the lights in the house were on when she arrived so she knew that he was around.

"You're back?" he asked from the kitchen.

"Yeah" Jen answered and went to the kitchen. She saw that he was holding a gla.s.s of juice while browsing through his phone. He looked like he had arrived just a few minutes before her.

Jen went to stand behind him and hugged him from the back, resting her whole weight on him.

"I missed you," she said but it came out m.u.f.fled since she had buried her face in his back. Lucas smiled because even though her voice came out m.u.f.fled, he had heard her clearly.
