Irene pressed her phone against her ear. Her heart raced as she listened to the dial tone, wondering what he was doing and whether he would pick up.
Just as she thought that he was not going to pick up, the call was answered.

Stunned at first, Irene immediately recovered and said, "I... I am one of the servants of the Woods family... I'm looking for Mr. Lucas..." "Oh, a servant? Lucas is drunk so he's spending the night at my place," Kasey said. "Which servant are you? Have I met you before?" Panicking, Irene was at a loss for words. "N- No." "You sound young! How old are you?" Kasey asked suspiciously.
Sensing the hostility in Kasey's voice, Irene's heart sank as she would lose her job if she crossed Kasey.
If she had known that Kasey would cto the phone, she would have never made that call.
"I..." She stuttered, not daring to mention her age.
Kasey hung up, and Irene sighed a breath of relief. To her bewilderment, Kasey video-called her shortly after using Lucas's phone. Irene took a deep breath and gathered her courage to answer the call.

The phone belonged to Lucas, after all, so Kasey could not actually throw his phone away.
Irene returned hgloomily, not knowing if she was depressed because Lucas did not celebrather birthday with her, or because Kasey called her ugly after seeing her face. After a while, she recovered slightly from her sadness.
Had Kasey seen her real face without the scar, Kasey might have called the Woods immediately and asked them to fire her. After all, Kasey had gone video-called her simply because she sounded young.
Irene suddenly realized that her grandmother had her reasons for asking her to wear the mask. Had she not worn it, she would have been in much greater trouble than she was.
At seven the next morning, Irene arrived back at the South Block as usual, but Lucas had yet to return. According to what Sam said the day before, Lucas should be hsoon.
