499 His Blood Ran Cold.

As much as Lucas was determined to leave the office early, he was not able to. He had squeezed out all of the potential out of his employees but he was not able to achieve the initially impossible feat.

What he had been able to do is completely free up his weekend as opposed to only having Sundays free. As his work day ended, he checked up on Jen as he left his office and was a bit reassured when she told him that she had eaten lunch and was going to take a short nap before making dinner.

Lucas got into the car with a scowl on his face. He looked like he was pissed off at the world and he really was. He just wanted to see his girlfriend, but it was so difficult. He finally started understanding his father's meaning for making him do this work in the first place.

He took off his jacket and removed his tie as his mood gradually worsened. He had a bad premonition even though he had just talked to Jen.
