NovelAppShe headed to the South Block and realized that Lucas had left home, so she went to the back kitchen of the Main Block.
When Mrs. Flores saw her, she smiled and said, "Mr. Lucas isn't htoday so you could have rested at home!" "He askedto cover at noon, so I came," Irene helped to prepare the food and said, "but he's not home." "He went to the Bennett lady's birthday party! I think he just left!" Mrs. Flores said. "Mr. Woods went with him and they brought a lot of gifts with them." Irene was stunned for a moment when she realized that the 'thing' he had to do was attend Kasey's birthday party.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"What a coincidence!" she thought. "Ms. Bennett's birthday is on the sday as mine." "I heard that they invited a lot of powerful people to the party today! It takes place at Bennett's mansion, and Mrs. Woods can't even go if she wanted to because the Bennetts only invited Mr. Lucas. Even Mr. Woods will have to chlater!" Mrs. Flores blurted out. "How lucky Mr. Lucas is to catch Ms. Bennett's eyes! Her parents didn't try to stop this which means that Mr. Lucas has a chance with Ms. Bennett." "Mr. Lucas is handsome, and it's normal for girls to like him!" Irene agreed.
"Haha! Do you like him, too?" Mrs. Flores glanced at Irene and said, "There's no one else here, so you don't have to be shy. If I were twenty years younger, I would be enticed by his looks as well. He doesn't look like Mr. Woods at all. I heard that he looks like his mom, who I imagine is a woman of great beauty." "Yeah. Mr. Noah and Mr. Sam look like Mr. Woods, especially Mr. Sam," Irene said.
"Right. Mrs. Woods keeps accusing Mr. Woods of favoring Mr. Sam, probably because Mr. Sam looks more like Mr. Woods. Mr. Sam's tuition overseas costs a fortune! I heard that it was way more money than Mr. Woods had paid for Mr. Noah. I also heard that he would slip Mr. Sam an extra allowance as well. It's all under the table though," Mrs. Flores whispered.
Irene recalled Sam's offer to pay her debt and realized that he indeed had the ability to do so.
"No matter what, all three of them are Mr. Woods' sons, so he must care for all of them, but I think he favors Mr. Lucas most at the moment. If Mr. Lucas gets to marry Ms. Bennett, Mrs. Woods will never dare bully him again," Mrs. Flores said before glancing at Irene. "Don't be too upset, Irene. Mr. Lucas was bound to marry someone of equal status. Ordinary people should never dream of being with him." Irene smiled awkwardly. "I'm happy as long as Mr. Lucas is happy." "Yeah, he is treating you well. We all know that he hired that tutor for you so that you can make ends meet without losing focus on your studies. You need to get good grades on the exam to repay Mr. Lucas." S "I know. I will." Irene stayed in the back kitchen to have lunch with Mrs. Flores, and she also helped to tidy up the place before returning to the South Block as the tutor was scheduled to cin that afternoon.
Lucas promised to celebrate Irene's birthday at night, so she was not overly upset even though Lucas was not hat the moment.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMrs. Flores was right. Lucas was the son of the Woods family, and Kasey might not be the only highborn lady who would want to marry him. He could take his pick and live a comfortable life in the future while Irene would never be more than a servant to him. Lucas had promised to hire her as a servant in the future, and the thought itself filled Irene's heart with bitterness.
She did not want to be someone's want servant for life. She studied hard because she wanted to escape et poverty and be accomplished. Her grandmother had always said that she would do great things indife as long as she studied hard. Tflew and soon, it was night-time.
She cooked herself ssoup. She heard someone knocking on the door as she was washing the dishes.
Thinking that it was Lucas, she set the dishes down and hurried over to open the door.
"Mr. Sam." "I thought Lucas was back! You could have stayed htoday!" Sam said. "Don't you know that he went to celebrate Ms. Bennett's birthday? He probably won't be back tonight." "But Mr. Lucas said that he would be back tonight."
