NovelOnlineIrene placed a basin of water before Lucas.
"Mr. Lucas, the things | said to Mr. Sam... they were not true. You know how people say things they don't mean when they are
angry. | think that as long as you work hard, you won't be worse than Mr. Noah or Mr. Sam."
Lucas finished washing his hands. He said coolly, "I don't care about your opinions on any of us."
"That's good. Mr. Lucas, you should be like that. Just focus on your studies. Don't care about what other people say." Irene placed
the basin aside and spooned ssoup into a bowl for Lucas. "Mr. Lucas, you have to eat more. If you don't, I'll be embarrassed to
take my pay."
Lucas was speechless.
Cooking a single meal was indeed easy work.
Lucas did not have a huge appetite. Usually, Irene only needed to cook up two dishes and a soup.
"Mr. Lucas, are you good in foreign languages?" Irene asked when he had finished his food and began drinking his soup. "If you're
going to Edelweiss, you have to learn their language."
Lucas glanced at her.
"Mr. Lucas, I'm not bad in foreign languages when it comes to reading and writing, but | can't speak the language well. So, | can't
help you with that. After all, going there, it's more important to know how to speak. You can get your father to get you a language
teacher, specifically on learning languages." Irene suggested.
"What do you think | was doing today?" When Lucas said this, Irene instantly understood what he meant.
"Mr. Lucas, seeing you change, I'm really happy for you," Irene said. "I've decided that after you leave, | won't work for the Woods
family anymore."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLucas did not respond to that.
"My teacher toldtoday that | could take a loan from a bank once I'm in university. It's interest-free, so | don't think I'll need to
work as | study," said Irene, detailing her plans. "Mr. Lucas, I'm really thankful for you. The past few months should have been the
toughest tof my life. Thank you for not giving up on me. Thank you for taking care of me."
At that, tears could not help but well up in Irene's eyes.
Lucas did not know how to respond to that, so he buried his head in his soup.
"Mr. Lucas, have another bowl! Today's carrots are extremely sweet." Irene wiped her tears away and took his empty bowl and
scooped more soup out for him.
Lucas had two bowls of soup and was about to head back to his room when Irene's phone rang. He could not help but stop.
Irene placed the things in her hands down and took her phone out. When she saw who the caller was, she fearfully answered the
call.
"Mr. Swen, | haven't received my pay yet. Once | have my pay, I'll immediately transfer the money to you," Irene murmured.

Her phone did indeed indicate that the battery level was low.
She only had 10 percent of the batteryleft enough to last her trip home. Every day she ran hfrom work, and during her run,
she did not need to use her phone.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter the call, Irene was in a daze for a few seconds.
"Passyour phone. I'll go charge it," said Lucas from behind her. His voice brought her back to her senses.
"Oh..." Irene wanted to tell him that it did not matter if her phone ran out of power, but she had reflexively handed her phone to
him.

Lucas took her phone back to his room. After plugging the charging cable into it, pressed the power button.
There was a lock on her screen.
Her screen lock was a series of patterns that one has to draw with their finger. He tilted her phone under the light to see the
pattern to unlock her phone.
After unlocking her phone, he looked at her call log.
