"Don't be scared, doggie. I won't hurt you." She took a deep breath and attempted to soothe the dog enough that it would let her pass. "I'm just here to work. Let's be good friends. I will feed you delicious food every day!" She tossed a piece of bread over and the dog caught it in the air.

The heater in the living room had not been turned on so it was freezing, but the man was only wearing a green jacket. This was the illegitimate child that Mr. Woods had brought home, Lucas Woods.
As Irene gazed at him, he looked her up and down as well and froze when he saw the scar on her face, just like the dog in the yard did.
"Mr. Lucas. Hello. My- My nis Irene. I... I am turning eighteen this year. I might be young, but I work fast. Please letstay here and work for you," she said nervously, before bowing her head.
He scowled and said, "What's wrong with your face?" "I... When I was a child there was a fire, and I got burned." Not once had Irene forgotten the words the old woman had imparted to her. She would never tell anyone the truth. Worried that Lucas would dislike her, she said, "Have I scared you, Mr. Lucas? I'm sor—" "You scared my dog." Lucas glanced at the yard where his dog sat pathetically, not daring to enter the house.

"She didn't say that. She thinks that I'm ugly, and she thought that you would find it appalling to look at me," answered Irene truthfully. "If you dislike my looks, I can wear a mask, Mr. Lucas. I know that you've just returned to the family so you must feel a little uncomfortable, but at least you have a home, unlike me-" Suddenly, Lucas's stomach gave a loud growl.

S He sat down on the couch with a hand over his stomach and thought to himself, "Why is she so talkative? How annoying!" As though the gods wished to deny him his peace, his phone started ringing, causing his head to hurt as well.
When he saw that it was his mother who was calling him, he dropped the call and blocked her without hesitation. "Mr. Lucas, I boiled an egg." Irene walked out of the kitchen with a peeled hard-boiled egg.
Lucas stared at the egg in her hand with disbelief.
"How can one egg be enough?" he thought angrily. "And she dares tellthat she can work?" "Mr. Lucas, roll that on your face." She stared at the bruise on his face worriedly. "You will feel better that way." Lucas was puzzled. He had thought.
