Let Me Love You (Forbidden Love Series Book 7)

Chapter Six

Lucas's conference was postponed to 2 o'clock in the afternoon. So he decided to drop in at Violet's apartment to see her. As he got ready to leave as luck would have it, he received a call from Tyler. He was on his way to LA with his PA, to attend some important meetings. He requested Lucas to receive them at the airport. 

Lucas drove his Audi to the airport to receive them. The flight arrived and he greeted Tyler and his  beautiful PA, River Ann Wilson. He could see that Tyler was whipped with her already. So he decided to pull his leg and have a little fun at his expense. Tyler didn't talk to him much after the rift that Meredith had created between tthem. Lucas missed the bond they used to share when younger. 

After dropping a very pissed off Tyler and his PA at his hotel,  he left to shower and get ready for his conference. He was impatient to finish everything and go to see Violet.  The conference started forty minutes late and stretched till 4:30 in the afternoon. He returned to his penthouse to freshen up. 

Sarah called him urgently on the intercom. Two officers from the Gang and Narcotics department of the Los Angeles Police Department had arrived and arrested one of the guests at their hotel. There was a lot of chaos.

By the time normalcy prevailed, it was 9 o'clock in the night. He dragged himself to his bed to sleep. Tomorrow he had to accompany Tyler to all the Parker Suites of LA for an inspection tour. He sighed thinking about Violet. He would get her number from the employee file and call her. He should have noted it down when Sarah had handed it over to him. He soon dozed off to sleep out of exhaustion.

The next morning, he woke up late. He had to go to Tyler's penthouse at the Parker Suites on Santa Monica beach. He didn't have time to talk to Sarah about Violet or get her number. He decided to meet her when he returned to the hotel.  He rushed out to Santa Monica. After the first tour he went to meet the owner of the villa he liked at Santa Monica and fixed the deal. He would consult a lawyer for the legal formalities. He had another meeting with an important client who wanted to have a tie up with their Parker suites for holding conferences. 

By the time he was free, it was evening and Tyler invited him for dinner. He could never say no to Tyler. He loved him like an older brother although he only managed to only irk Tyler and pull his leg more. 

After dinner, he went back to his hotel to sleep. It was too late to visit Violet anyways. 

The next day Tyler and River returned back to Las Vegas. Lucas had grown close to River and approved of her as his sister-in-law. It was obvious that they loved each other. Lucas had to fly to their hotel in San Francisco early the next morning. There was a press conference on their new hotel that had been launched a few days back. The whole day he was busy. He was summoned by his father to Las Vegas by evening to attend the Board of directors meeting the next day. He directly flew from San Francisco to Vegas. 

The next morning he went to their Staywell group's head office to attend the meeting. He was twenty minutes early so he sought out River at her cubicle. 

"Hi, when did you come  to Vegas?" She asked him.

"Last night," he said, looking heartbroken and down.

"What happened to you?" River asked in concern.

"Ann, how do you feel when you're in love?" He asked, looking like a lost puppy. He called River by her middle name. 

"Well, you have this uncontrollable wish to be with the one you love all the time," she explained and he nodded. 

"And?" He asked curiously. 

"And you miss him the moment he's away from you," she continued and Lucas nodded.

"And?" He prodded.

"You want to do it all only with him. Your heart beats faster when you see him. You're in heaven when he kisses you," she said and he nodded enthusiastically.
