"Mr. Lucas, why aren't you wearing your pants?" Irene blushed and turned around. "I'll go get you your pants. Get up quickly. Don't make the tutor wait for you."
Ten minutes later, Irene pulled Lucas out of his room. The tutor looked at them tugging at each other and furrowed his brows.
However, looking at the scar on Irene's face, his brows relaxed.
"Sir, I would like to speak to you alone," Lucas said to the tutor.
The tutor nodded and followed Lucas to the side. About 15 minutes later, they had both finished talking. The tutor furrowed his brows a little and walked over to Irene.
"Let's begin!"
Irene was stunned for a while and looked at Lucas. "Mr. Lucas, come and join the lessons!"
"Go. Show me your notes after the lesson. Stop talking. The tutor is paid by the hour," said Lucas as he settled himself on the sofa. He began scrolling through his phone. "You two have your lessons in another room. Don't disturb me."
Irene was speechless.
The tutor said, "Irene, let's go!"
Irene thought that the entire exchange was rather peculiar, but she could not begin to describe why she felt that way. She led the tutor into an empty room.
After wiping the table, she took the books out of her bag.
"Irene, which subject do you need reinforcement on? Which areas are you weak in? Tell me," the tutor said.
Irene said, "Sir, didn't you talk to Mr. Lucas just now? You can base your lessons on the areas he needs help in. I'll take notes and give them to him."
The tutor smiled. "He told me to teach you. You needn't worry about him."
After a session of lessons, Irene went to the kitchen to make some food.
After dinner, the tutor and she had two more sessions.
The tutor was paid by the hour, and he was to be paid based on the number of lessons he had given her that day. Therefore, as long as Irene was up for it, the tutor would be able to teach her a few lessons a day.
At eight in the evening, Irene sent the tutor off. After sending the tutor off, Irene returned to the South Block and closed the door.
"Mr. Lucas, thank you for getting the tutor to teach me! When I go to college…" Irene walked over to Lucas and said excitedly.
Lucas had goosebumps. "When you get into college, you no longer need to be my servant."
Irene was stunned. "Mr. Lucas, is this your intention?"
