Chapter 198: What A Shame.
Lucifer couldn't help but admire her strong will.
Most women would have taken the opportunity to share a kiss with him or more without hesitation.
Yes, he was being very straightforward and bold, and it wasn't like he didn't know that. But he also knew how to make himself seem appealing, and he was using all his charm right now.
And yet, Jane had remained firm and refused to be swayed by him. It seemed like she wouldn't easily give in to his advances.
Lucifer liked that about her. It made him even more curious to see how long it would take to win her over and claim her as one of his own.
Moreover, he enjoyed seeing the blush on her face and the way she tried to act cool, even though her heart and mind were probably racing inside.
It reminded him of his sister Layla's behavior when he teased or joked around with her.
She was always cold and professional, trying to appear like nothing fazed her, though whenever she was with him, she became a different girl.
"Alright, then," Lucifer replied, giving Jane an amused smile.
Jane felt relieved that he didn't push the matter further, but at the same time, there was a strange feeling of disappointment that he didn't insist on it. After all, it was a romantic setting, and she couldn't deny that there was some attraction between them.
But it was probably for the best that she kept things professional. She knew the consequences of giving in to these kinds of impulses, especially when it involved someone like him who could never be a permanent part of her life.
After a moment, Lucifer got off the recliner bed and walked back to his room to change before heading down to have breakfast.
Jessica and Jennifer had also woken up, and they were already at the breakfast table with frowns on their faces when he came inside the dining hall.
"Good morning," Lucifer said, looking at both of them before taking a seat at one end of the table. "What's with those expressions on your pretty faces?"
"You know what happened last night. I thought you were going to do something with me after coming out of the bath... And yet, I found myself lying on the bed alone, waiting for you... And then, somehow, I fell asleep." Jessica replied in an agitated tone as she stared at him.
Jennifer, on the other hand, sighed and spoke in a disappointed voice, "Although I wanted to go to your room myself after sometime, but somehow I also fell asleep... Do you think we were drugged or something?"
"Drugged?" Lucifer chuckled at that. "Don't worry, you weren't drugged or anything. You two just drank a lot and got high. That's why you two fell asleep early last night. So, nothing to worry about there. Just forget it."
"But I wanted to have fun with you after so long," Jennifer complained as she crossed her arms. "Now, I have to go back to work without getting satisfied."
"Me too! I can't continue to be with you or my husband will get suspicious." Jessica sighed.
"It's okay. I will make it up to both of you. I am not going anywhere, so don't worry about that." Lucifer said with a reassuring smile.
Both women nodded their heads and tried to lighten their mood, though they still seemed a little upset about the previous night's events.
After a few minutes, Jane came to the dining hall, followed by another maid who was carrying a trolley with their breakfast on it.
