Lucas said, "I'm not." Irene said, "You are blushing. I can clearly see that." "I'm not treating you as a friend." Lucas looked at the dark sky. "Being friends with people likedoes not cwith any benefits." "You don't make friends because you want benefits. Friends share their thoughts with each other, and when one of them is in trouble, the other does whatever they can to help. Mr. Lucas, you're a person who is worthy of a good friend.

"This meal is my treat," said Lucas after he glanced at the menu. Afraid that Irene was going to argue with him, he said, "Didn't you say that we are friends? You can buya meal once you finish paying your debts." Irene furrowed her brows. "No, I can't let you do this." "It's fine. Don't you want to get your grandmother's bracelet back?" countered Lucas.

S Lucas showed Irene the card his father gave him. "I have a card." Irene was speechless. She had almost forgotten that he was the heir to the Woods family.
