Luke, Olivia, and Liz arrive with Lunch

Luke was internally laughing at his situation.

Although Luke was a tall and muscular man, capable of intimidating most people, he was being escorted. While Luke pushed a cart full of food, he was being flanked by two gorgeous women. On his left Olivia walked searching the crowd, she was a little taller and heavier than Luke. She tried to look intimidating, but Luke just thought she looked adorable. In contrast to Olivia, Liz was of average height and weight and used her evil eye to scare off anyone who got close.

"What you smiling about?" Liz asked,

"Oh, nothing," Luke said wrapping his arm around Liz, before kissing her on the head.

"Stop that!" Liz protested, pushing him away.

"We need to get to Rebecca's before your good looks attract a thirsty woman with a 'Breeding Pass'?" Liz said while searching the crowds.

"You think I am attractive," Luke asked smiling at Liz.

"Shut up!" Liz snapped in reply.

"Liz is right. Shannon said to escort you back to the store. We don't want to lose you. Women can only be affected by the 'Breeding Pass' once. While men could be trapped in a constant loop of sex by a group of women." Olivia said not looking away from the crowds.

"Fine, if you insist," Luke said reluctantly.

Taking their time they reach the elevators and left the second level.

"Finally we can breathe again. There were a lot of people around the food court." Luke mused to himself.

"Ya, the heart of the mall is bursting with people. I wonder what the person limit is for the food court." Olivia said relaxing a bit.

"Hey stay focused, we are not out of the woods yet," Liz said not looking away from shoppers walking the mall.

"Relax, we are almost there," Luke said cheerfully.

With fewer people to avoid, the trio picked up the pace.

"We're back!" Luke cheered walking into the store.

Penny and Ashley both looked up and smiled despite themselves. They didn't like how they were both **** into motherhood by Luke, but they couldn't stop feeling happy to see him.

"Welcome Back!" Penny said cheerfully as she eyed Luke and his company.

"Where is Shannon? And who are your friends?" Ashely asked

"Oh forgive my manners. This is the lovely Elizabeth. She is the Head Chef of 'The Grande Donna' 4 Star Restaurant. She is Shannon's cousin." Luke said gesturing to Liz with a smile.

"And this beauty is Olivia, she also works at 'The Grande Donna'. These generous women helped cater today's lunch," Luke said gesturing to the food cart.

"My my, I thought Shannon was just going to get sandwiches or something. This is amazing. I am starved." Penny said eyeing the food containers.

"Aw, that's right you asked about Shannon. She when to investigate the magical stranger handing out the passes. I believe she is returning here shortly." Luke said looking around.

Luke pulled out his phone to see if he got any new messages. Nope.

"Hmm, 12:55 PM. Hope she is doing alright" Luke said under his breath.

"Aw, Luke you're back! I thought I heard your voice." Holly said walking into the store from the back.

Luke looked up to see his favorite bookworm.

"Holly! You're just in time. This is Olivia and Liz. They are close friends joining us for lunch." Luke said pushing the cart through the store.

"Ladies please continue through that hallway. You will find the breakroom and kitchen. I need to step into the storage room for a bit." Luke said smiling at Olivia and Liz.

"Sure thing," Olivia said taking the cart.

"Holly, I still need to process this morning's shipment. Could you help unpack lunch, our guests might not know where everything is." Luke said cheerfully.

"Sure, but don't worry about the morning shipment. I already processed the items," Holly said surveying the food cart as it passed.

"That's great! You're the best inventory assistant a man could ask for. Now we can enjoy lunch together." Luke said putting an arm around Holly.

Holly smiled at Luke's praise, before walking with him into the breakroom.

"Penny you can go help set up lunch. I will mind the store." Ashly said eyeing the few customers.

"You sure? You must be just as starved as me." Penny asked rubbing her tummy.

"Well ... I ate two of Shannon's candy bars ... the ones she keeps at her desk," Ashly said sheepishly.

"Oh, she is going to kill you," Penny said playfully.

"Shush you, don't tell anyone. Shannon is too busy with today's events to notice missing candy.." Ashly said looking out into the mall.

"Okaaay," Penny said before walking into the back.
