Chapter 2895 - 85: She and Harrison Lucas Plan to Start Dating
Ben Lucas: "I’ve already had my people accompany Miss Connor for three dances, which is the best way to treat a guest. What, Miss Connor still thinks it’s not enough and wants more?"
Three dances.
He hadn’t even danced with Debby once, but here was this woman taking him away three times.
If this isn’t considered preferential treatment, Ben Lucas really doesn’t know what is.
If it weren’t for Commander Nelson watching nearby, and for Debby’s status in the army, Ben Lucas would have asked Jennifer Connor to leave right after the waltz started.
"I didn’t mean that..." Jennifer Connor didn’t understand how she had offended this man in front of her, why Major General Lucas had to speak to her in such a tone.
She just wanted to spend a little more time with Harrison Lucas, but when Major General Lucas spoke, it made her sound like a greedy woman.
Jennifer Connor didn’t want to ruin her image in Harrison Lucas’s eyes and explained, "I just found Miss Lucas and I getting along very well, and we are considering seeing if we can pursue a relationship. I wonder if Major General Lucas could allow Miss Lucas to stay, so we can get closer."
Jennifer Connor liked Harrison Lucas, it was almost love at first sight.
The Connor family came from a lineage of military and political leaders. Mr. Connor had a decisive personality, and Jennifer Connor took after him, developing a straightforward and candid character, almost as if it was passed down from Mr. Connor.
She was interested in Harrison Lucas and wanted to spend more time with her to get to know each other better, with no intention of letting her go.
However, Jennifer Connor didn’t know that her words ’pursue a relationship’ not only left Harrison Lucas stunned but also made someone else’s already cold mood hit rock bottom.
Ben Lucas spoke with a tone as cold as ice: "You and Harrison Lucas are considering pursuing a relationship... very well, that’s the decision you made after three dances."
No wonder Harrison Lucas appeared so happy and chatted endlessly with this woman while dancing, it turned out they had already decided to try dating during the dance.
Harrison Lucas only agreed to date him last night, and today she’s already seeing another woman.
What’s going on?
Does Harrison Lucas only see him as a ’secret lover,’ planning to have a girlfriend in public to hide ’her’ orientation, while secretly having an affair with him?
Harrison Lucas didn’t know that Ben Lucas’s thoughts had gone to such an alarming extent; she just wanted to quickly explain when she heard Jennifer Connor’s words.
Harrison Lucas: "Miss Connor, when did we ever say about pursuing a relationship? I don’t remember agreeing to that."
Upon hearing Harrison Lucas’s question, Jennifer Connor’s expression, which was quite cold and firm when facing Ben Lucas, immediately became gentle.
She smiled softly at Harrison Lucas and said gently, "Archie, have you forgotten? When I asked you just now if you had a girlfriend, you said no. I then asked if I could try to be your friend, and you said yes. By saying that, weren’t you accepting my hint and implying you were willing to date me?"
Harrison Lucas looked bewildered: "..."
What, that’s what pursuing a relationship means?!
As a very straightforward person, Harrison Lucas didn’t catch Jennifer Connor’s suggestion. It was true she didn’t have a girlfriend, and when Jennifer Connor asked to be her friend, she couldn’t very well refuse straightforwardly.
This was all just polite social interaction, especially considering Commander Nelson and Commander Connor’s presence, so how did it turn into her agreeing to pursue a relationship with Jennifer Connor?
