While the two women had found a place to sit and talk. The father-son pair were walking around socialising. Lucas did not drink any of the wine and had asked one of the waiters to serve him grape juice instead.
He was sure he would get drunk fast because he had not eaten at all that day and in addition to his fatigue and the fact that he will have to take Jen back home at the end of the night dissuaded him from drinking at all. His father understood him because he also does this sometimes, especially when he plans on going back to work after an event.
After several introductions and meeting unfamiliar faces Lucas was finally given some reprieve by his father. He headed straight for where Jen was standing with Hellen. He found them surrounded by a group of women. Unsurprisingly Jen stood out since she was pretty tall. When he reached them he said a few pleasantries and his mother attempted to pull him in before he politely rejected her.
