"Mr. Lucas, are you hungry? I made pancakes for you. I think it's gone cold now. I will heat it up in the microwave." She knew that Lucas had cto the kitchen because he was starving and darted into the kitchen to get to work.

"Mr. Lucas, there's pasta in that pot over there. Do you want some?" "I'll do it myself." Lucas was facing the microwave and had his back toward Irene.
Irene felt helpless when she could not see his face. "Mr. Lucas, I'm sorry! I know that I was wrong. Please don't be mad." "You are just a servant. Remember your place. Apart from cooking and cleaning, do not speak tounless it's absolutely necessary," he said coldly.
"Oh... Okay, Mr. Lucas. I won't bother you again. I will get back to the lessons. Just put the dishes in the sink once you are done, and I will wash them later." When Lucas did not respond, she went back to the tutor.
"Let's go to the guest room instead!" she said to the tutor as she gathered her books.
The two went into the guest room and closed the door behind them.

"Yeah. It's my fault. I said something wrong," Irene said sheepishly.
"Haha. He has a bad temper. Don't let him get to you," the tutor said to her with a smile.
"He's not that bad, actually. You just think that he has a bad temper because you don't know what he's been through," Irene said. "He grew up with his mom, who needed to work and rarely cared for him. Had he grown up in a normal family, he wouldn't have turned out this way." "You have a strong sense of empathy." "Because I'm just like him. Everyone thinks that I'm independent, but I'm not born that way. I wouldn't have survived if I'm not independent." Irene forced a smile. "Let's get back to studying!" In the evening at the Main Block, Mrs. Woods glanced at Sam. "Sam, I thought that you responded to Layla's search for her suitor? Has she replied? I heard that the first round of filtering has been done and they picked fifty-two candidates." "I haven't gotten anything. Has Noah received a response?" Sam asked in embarrassment.
"No. I guess it's because we don't own 1.5 billion dollars!" Mrs. Woods said before shooting a displeased look at her husband. "What a shit is to let such a great opportunity slip by just because of that!" "Don't look at me. I won't be able to ret get 1.5 billion even if I try borrowing it. We are not the only ones who have our eyes on Layla Tate." Mr. Woods desperately wanted Layla to be his daughter-in-law and had asked around, only to find that a lot of his friends who had sons that fulfilled the age requirement had emailed Layla. "Dad, how are things between Lucas and the Bennett girl?" Sam changed the subject. "I saw him this morning, and he seems to be in a bad mood." "Ha! He has horrible alcohol tolerance and got drunk shortly after arriving. The Bennetts informedthat he was.drunk and could not chome. As for how things went between those two, I guess it's something only they would know. I don't want to ask Lucas about it, though. Anyways, he won't answer my question even if I did ask him. He's upset that I forced him to go to Kasey's birthday party."
