Even though you didn't bother to tell me,"He said and Jordan let out a nervous laugh."Boss, we are at the office,""Okay, I know,""Really Lucas?"He asked looking around, Lucas did too but he might not have wen anything wrong with him being here, again that was making everyone else uncomfortable, Lucas was the unreachable boss before he got together with Kat and now he was sitting next to him."Okay, okay, I get it,
