Irene had thought that he would remain in his room like he usually did, but he walked out carrying a black backpack.
"Mr. Lucas, are you going out?" She set the bowl down and walked toward Lucas.

She stood by the door and watched as Lucas got into a car. The car drove off, vanishing into the distance, and she stared at it till it disappeared from sight. She felt that she and Lucas were heading down very different paths as she watched the car vanish from sight.
She stood there, feeling the wind brush against her, then she returned to the kitchen, washed the dishes, and left for the Main Block's kitchen since she did not know if Lucas would chfor lunch.
Lucas had completely shut her off, and their interaction was so limited that even normal employers would communicate with their servants more often.
"Mrs. Flores, lethelp you with that!" "Is Mr. Lucas out? I heard that he is traveling overseas." Mrs. Flores worked in the Main Block and was more aware of the latest developments.
Stunned, Irene asked, "To study, you mean?" "Yeah! Mr. Woods went to the South Block to talk to Mr. Lucas, didn't he? I guess they made a decision last night. Mrs. Woods was furious when she heard about it because apparently, it costs quite a lot of money," Mrs. Flores whispered.

Mrs. Flores was interested in this piece of gossip as well. "By the tMr. Lucas leaves, it'll be about tfor you to start going to university, too." św"Yeah." Irene lowered her head to wash the potatoes in her hands. Her heart filled with sorrow.
Still, she felt happy for Lucas as he would have better opportunities overseas, even if it was anger that drove him away.
At ten in the morning, the butler cand talked to Irene.
"Irene, there's something we need to talk about," the butler said with a smile. "Starting today, the tutor won't be coming. Mr. Lucas will be taking his lessons outside, and you can go back to school. Just cby before six every day to cook dinner for Mr. Lucas." Irene nodded.
"That means we won't be able to pay you double, though," the butler said. "Can you accept that?" Irene nodded frantically. "I'm grateful that Mr. and Mrs. Woods didn't fire me." "Mr. Lucas is the one who said that he needs you to cby to cook dinner, the butler said. "Probably because he doesn't want Mrs. Woods to fire you! He is really nice to you." "Yeah! I know. Sir, do you know which university Mr. Lucas will be going to?" she asked.
"I heard that he is going to Edelweiss." Irene immediately took out her phone and looked up the distance between Edelweiss and Taronia.
