"Haha! I bet he won't be back tonight. Do you think the celebration only lasts for a day?" Sam said confidently. "Let's see if he comes back tomorrow! Father sent him off to Bennett's mansion, and he said that the celebration is going to last for two days!" "Oh... Thank you for tellingthis, Mr. Sam. I will get off work later, then," Irene said.
"Sure. Why do you look disappointed?" Sam teased. "Have you fallen for my brother?" "It's not funny, Mr. Sam," she said expressionlessly. "Mr. Lucas toldto chere tonight. I'm just his servant. I do as he commands." "I want to ask you something, Irene." Sam sat down on the couch and said sincerely, "Is Lucas really more charming than Noah and 1?" "I don't know about that, Mr. Sam. I might be able to answer your questions if you had askedabout my studies." Irene was smart enough to know not to cross Sam.
"Haha, I know the answer. He just looks better than us, but so what? You can make a living with looks alone. That Bennett girl is so short-sighted," Sam said with frustration. "Father is so happy that one might think that Lucas and the Bennett girl have already gotten engaged." Not knowing what to say, Irene asked, "Do you want a glass of water, Mr. Sam? I'll bring you a glass!" "I'm fine." He looked her up and down. "I offered to pay your debt the last time. Did you consider it?" She froze. "Mr. Sam, I don't need you to pay off my debt. I thought I had been clear with you about that the last time." "You don't get paid that much. It's barely enough to cover your debt. What about your university tuition fees?" Sam desperately wanted to help her. "Are you refusing my help because Lucas has already helped with your debt?" Irene shook her head.

She shook her head again. "Mr. Sam, Mr. Lucas isn't that talkative. He rarely talks toor speaks ill of others in front of me." "You might be young, but you sure are cautious," Sam commented.
"I don't understand what you are referring to, Mr. Sam. Did I do something wrong?" she asked.
He stood up with a smile. "Nothing. I just dropped by because I saw that the lights are on." "Oh. I will work on my assignments here for a while and head back later Mr. Sam." Irene moved to see him out.
"Your apartment probably doesn't have a heater, does it?" "Yeah. It's cold there so Mr. Lucas toldthat I can do my assignments here." "Alright, I won't stop you from working on them, then," Sam said before walking out.
Irene closed the door and returned to the dining room before sitting in one of the dining room chairs.
Lucas had promised to celebrate her birthday with her, so she had to wait, but having spoken to Sam, she realized that she could not blLucas for not returning. Kasey was clearly more important than her. She took out her books from the backpack and began revising.
At nine, she took out her phone and sent a message to Lucas. [Mr.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLucas, are you coming hvel.ne tonight? If you aren't coming back, I will go hnow.] She waited five minutes, then ten minutes. She continued waiting till half an hour had passed, but there was still no reply from Lucas.
At almost ten, Irene decided that she should leave, but she was worried that Lucas might cback at any time.
She desperately wanted to call Lucas to ask him if he was coming home, but she could not gather the courage to dial his number.
She stared at the screen of her phone with a troubled expression, and when the clock signaled ten, she picked up her backpack to leave. After closing all the lights in the South Block, she walked outside and closed the doors. The night was silent save for the croaking of the frogs.
Her shadow was long beneath the streetlights, and before heading home, she got out her phone and called Lucas.
