The following morning Jen received a call from Lucas giving her the details on the event he was planning to take her to that night. He said that his company is holding a welcome party for him which was just another opportunity for networking since a lot of people are going to be around from the same circle.
When Jen heard this, of course, she became very hesitant. She didn't think she was ready for such an upscale event, she felt a bit of pressure. She had almost automatically declined his offer, but after thinking that Lucas was probably going to go there alone and he even asked her nicely and bought her a dress she reluctantly agreed.
