Mr. Woods had not expected his son to make such a request.
"Why are you so nice to her, Lucas? Are you into her?" Mr. Woods asked. "Forget the fact that she's an orphan, but just looks alone... Are you sure..."
"Why would you insult her?" Lucas suppressed his anger. "You slept with one woman after another out there. Considering how messed up your personal life is, who are you to ask me who I like?!"
"Why you!" Mr. Woods would have beaten him once again had Kasey not requested to see him. "I can leave you alone, but you are not to cross Ms. Bennett in any way! I will send someone to bring Irene back! Satisfied?"
"I don't care about what you say or promise. I will believe it when I see her," Lucas said before hopping out of bed.
Mr. Woods was annoyed by Lucas' thug-like behavior, but he turned his focus on the blood stains on Lucas' shirt and said, "Have you put ointment on your back? Why don't I help you with that?"
"I told you to save it. Did you not understand me? Do as I say and I will meet with that Bennett girl. You can get out now!" Lucas grabbed a t-shirt from his bag and made his way to the bathroom.
"Alright! I will go outside now! Remember to drink the soup!"
Forty minutes later, Irene arrived at the Woods' mansion.
The bodyguard who picked her up had only told her that she could continue working for the family, but he did not tell her why. It was the reason she immediately rushed to the South Block in hopes of seeing Lucas.
"Mr. Lucas, why didn't you respond to my messages? I sent three and you didn't reply to any of them." Irene found Lucas and asked, "Did you not recognize my number?"
Lucas shot Mrs. Flores a look. "You don't need to be here from now on."
