Layla took a deep breath. She went online to look for a photo of Eric. She copied the photo before sending it to her best friend. When Amy saw Eric's photo, she replied with a series of question marks.
Amy: [Why are you sendingEric Santos' photo? I'm asking you to senda photo of that old person that you like!] Layla typed with her rather numb hands, [He is that person!] [Bloody hell! F*ck! F*ck! F*ck!] [What sort of response is this?] [I can accept! I can accept!] [Amy, be serious!] [I can accept Eric as my boyfriend! He is so handsome! Even if he is fifty years old, I would still love him!] [... Don't try to steal him from me!] [Are you two in a relationship? Does he like you as well? What is the situation between you two right now? Are you free to talk? Can I call you?!] The butler was speaking to Irene in the Woods' mansion.

She knows that you have no support right now, and she pities you, so she decided to pay you the full amount despite, you not coming into work for a few days," the butler said, smiling.
"Sir, thank you! My pay is in my account already," Irene said gratefully, "The money that I owe you...' "There is no rush. You owe other people smoney as well, and you still need to get into college. If you insist on returning the money, you can return it once you have graduated and gotten a job!" the butler said. "Irene if only your face had not been ruined, you would surely have been a likable child." "Sir, thank you." "Sigh, don't mention it. The Woods family is the one who paid you. If you really want to show your gratitude take good care of Mr.
Lucas," the butler said. "Once Met Lucas heads to college, if you still want to work with the Woods family, I'Het Mrs. Woods know. We'll assign you to the back kitchen...But we'll have to see if you still want to work with us or not." "Sir, thank you so much. Once I finish my exams, I'll let you know." "Okay, go get busy!" "Hmm!" Irene quickly headed to the South Block. Lucas was putting together a model gun. He had gotten the butler to buy it for him. "Mr. Lucas, I got my pay today. Lettreat you to a meal!" Irene wanted to treat him to a meal to repay Lucas for finding her a tutor.
Lucas was focused on his model gun. He sounded lazy, "Don't you need to repay your debts?" "We won't eat anything too expensive," said Irene enthusiastically. "Mr. Lucas, let's go out tonight! It's lively outside.
haven't gone out at night before. I don't dare to go alone." S Lucas looked up. "You're askingalong just to feel a little braver?" "Let's go shopping! Aren't you bored staying at hall day long?" Irene had been studying hard for the past few days. She wanted to relax a little.
"We'll see in the evening." Lucas continued putting his model gun together.

The model was quite intricate. It needed a lot of patience to put it together.
Irene's eyes traced his long fingers, traveling upward till they touched his face. They had been seeing each other daily, and she knew what he looked like, but she had not studied his face this closely before. S First, it was rude to do so. Second, she did not dare do it.
However, at that moment, Lucas was so focused on the model that the serious expression he wore transformed him into a different person.
Irene forgot her fear. After looking at him for a while, she found him to be quite handsome.
"Have you had enough of looking?" Lucas looked up at her stunned expression, "You're starry-eyed!" Privacy
