"What are you doing?!" He reached out to clear the snow on her head. "Isn't it cold out here?" She sobered and said, "Mr. Lucas, I saw Ms. Bennett. She is so pretty." "Did you stand here the entire tbecause you wanted to see her?" He dragged her back into the house.
"Not entirely... You are having dinner in the main block tonight, so I didn't have to make dinner. I got bored!" Her face and nose were red from the cold, and her skin began to itch once they went indoors.
"You are so stupid!" He studied her face and cursed, immediately regretting his words as soon as they left his lips. "If you catch a cold, who is going to take care of me?" She grinned at him. "I am wearing enough layers so I won't catch a cold. It's snowing out there, but it's not a storm. A snowstorm would freeze me, so I wouldn't have been out there if there was a storm." "The doors to the Main Block are shut, so what exactly were you even trying to see?" he said before adding, "Do you want to make more money?" Without hesitation, she nodded. "Do you have any ideas, Mr. Lucas?" "You can live here! Mrs. Flores is a live-in servant as well, isn't she? That way, you can save up on rent and living expenses." Not wanting her to misunderstand, he said, "And if I want food in the middle of the night, I can get you to cook for me." "Oh!" She hesitated. She could be a live-in servant, but her "condition" could complicate the situation.

After a few moments, she said, "I think it's best if I don't live here, Mr. Lucas. I don't want your dad to misunderstand. I don't want to make another mistake and cause you any more trouble. If you want to eat in the middle of the night, I can go hlater." "My dad suggested that you are trying to seduce me?" he asked, although he already knew the answer to his question.
"Mr. Lucas, we are around the sage, and I was careless before, so it's normal that they would misunderstand. It's best that I live in my own apartment," she said before beaming at Lucas. "I will go hlater tonight. Letknow if you want something to eat." "I ate a lot tonight, so I don't need more food." He sat down on the couch and looked at her. "Have you been studying these past few days?" "Of course!" "Have you been looking for another job?" "I got sfreelance work. My late grandma's friend gotthe job. I can't earn much with it, though," Irene said. "Thank you for gettingmy job back, Mr. Lucas. You have donea great favor, and I will repay-" "The more tI spend with you, themore you remindof my dog," he interrupted her, not wanting her to thank him. "Every tI reached home, my dog was the only one waiting for me. He was the only one who had stayed by my side the entire time." "I know how that feels, Mr. Lucas. I grew up with just my grandma, and now that she's gone, returning to an empty hall alone can feel really lonely sometimes. I have no one to talk to, so I enjoy talking to you." "Which is why you don't have to read too deep into what I did for you." "Okay, Mr. Lucas." She grinned from ear to ear. "I'm really thankful no matter what drove you to dothis kindness." "It's late. Go hand rest! Cback earlier tomorrow." Lucas felt a little tired.
Irene picked up her backpack and grabbed the garbage bag before leaving the South Block.
