Convincing her (Jen and Lucas)

Chapter 37: Jen Larson

Tyler's mood was thoroughly ruined as he scrolled through the article. He abruptly turned around and walked back into the hotel room, ignoring the girl that had been plastered against his back just a few seconds before. He called his assistant to pick him up from the hotel before going to the shower.

The girl was confused, she was still not aware of what had just happened. He was fine a few minutes ago and now he looked angry. His facial expression had made it so it was difficult for her to even ask about what had happened.

As she thought about it she got even more annoyed, but at the same time, she felt helpless because she was not in the position to question him. She sat on one of the posh chairs in the hotel room and poured herself a glass of wine. She had not dressed up yet and had only covered herself with one of the bedsheets.

A few minutes later she heard the bathroom door open and Tyler walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist and his wet hair slicked back showing more of his handsome face.

"I-is there something wrong?" she managed to find the courage to ask. Tyler's cold eyes briefly looked at her before ignoring her. His gaze had burned away all of the courage that she had managed to muster.

She watched him as he got dressed. She really wanted to see him again but did not know how to even begin telling him this. Tyler pulled on his black dress pants and his grey pull neck. He watched the girl as he shrugged on his suit jacket and gave her a chilling smile.

"I don't think I'll be meeting you again," Tyler said as he straightened up his appearance. He tousled his slightly damp hair and looked at the girl when he didn't hear her response. She had only managed to nod before Tyler continued.

"You can stay in the room till tomorrow so there's no need to leave tonight" Tyler continued as he looked at her. She nodded again looking pitiful, Tyler smiled coldly before walking towards her. He stood in front of her his chilling eyes looking at her. She was too afraid to look at him, so Tyler bent down and pulled up her chin with his index finger to look at her straight in the eye.

"Don't be hung up on someone like me, you can find someone that will actually cherish you, I am not capable of giving you that," Tyler said with a charming smile that did not reach his eyes.

He always said words like this to these women, not to make it look like there was something wrong with him, but rather mostly for his reputation. He did not want to be called an insensitive playboy who relieves himself with women before discarding them when he was through with them.

[A/N: That's exactly what you are though, just saying]

That is why to date, women still flock around him hoping that this man that was looking for love will be moved by them. His blue eyes were still as chilly as ever. The girl's heart thumped hard in her chest as she continued to look at him. She thought it was because she liked him but the reality is very cruel, the poor girl did not know her heartbeat had accelerated from fear instead.

Her subconscious was warning her but unfortunately, she was too captivated by his looks and money she had totally misread these physiological symptoms.

"My assistant will contact you for compensation," Tyler said and turned around to leave.

Until the door closed the girl was yet to snap out of her daze. Tyler walked straight towards the elevator and he watched the floor numbers change till he got to the underground parking. He saw his car immediately and his assistant got out to open the door for him.

He smoothly got into the back seat of the black Bentley. His assistant entered the passenger's seat and the car drove off. Tyler was handed his Tab and he was seriously scrolling through his emails before he looked at his assistant and started giving him instructions.

"The woman I was with at the hotel, give her a gift, a necklace or money, it doesn't matter. I don't want her bothering me later" Tyler instructed.

"Yes sir" His assistant Roy replied. He had gotten used to this routine, His boss would be periodically fixated with women who suspiciously looked like Miss. Larson before discarding them after amusing himself for a few nights.

"The party that father was insisting I attend, where was it held?" Tyler asked his assistant Roy nonchalantly.

"It was the Lewis family's party officially announcing the future heir of their company" his secretary replied with an emotionless voice.

Tyler stayed quiet for a few minutes after his response. There was no one who did not know of Lewis & Co. in their country. Although his family owned an IT company and he could throw his weight around, he cannot compare their company to Lewis & Co. since they dabbled in everything.

There were five very influential families in their country and his family is the second, the Larson's used to be on equal footing with them and if the old man did not hand over his company to his son, they might have already surpassed his family. The first was the Lewis family and the gap between the two families was already as great as heaven and earth.

Knowing that if he had actually listened to his father and gone to the party he would have met Jen made him feel sour.

"Find out what Jen Larson has been up to" Tyler instructed as he continued to go through his mail. His secretary was surprised when he heard this. For as long as he could remember, his boss did not want Miss. Larson's name mentioned before him for more than a year now.

He did not know why they had separated but after they broke up his boss had become an even more unfeeling person than before. Why does he suddenly want to know about her? Roy creased his eyebrows and knew not to question his boss.

"I'll get to it as soon as possible" Roy replied

"Mmmh" Tyler grunted as if to tell him the conversation is over and the rest of the ride went smoothly.
