At half past six in the evening, the Bennett car stopped before the Woods' mansion.
Irene stood in the yard of the South Block. She was staring at the Main Block.
She spotted a silver car. A tall, elegant lady stepped out of the car.
Despite the distance, Irene could tell that Kasey was beautiful. Her curly, long, soft hair rested on her white fur coat.
The woman looked young, but she was dressed in the most fashionable and mature manner. She wore a tight red dress that winked beneath the white coat. She wore knee-high black leather boots, and her purse sparkled underneath the street lights.
Irene felt a lump in her throat.
She felt so envious of the beautiful clothes Kasey was wearing, the expensive purse she was carrying, and the phone she was holding; even the phone case Kasey used looked sophisticated.
The one thing that Irene truly felt envious of was the freedom Kasey had to tell the people under her who she liked, and how, by using her family's connections, they were able to arrange a meeting with the man she was interested in.
Mr. Woods and Mrs. Woods were at the door to welcome Kasey into the house.
Irene watched as the door to the Main Block closed, and the light in her eyes dimmed.
It was snowing, but she did not feel cold at all.
Lucas had managed to help her get her job back with the double pay she was promised, and before long, she would be able to pay off her debt. After that, she would only need to earn enough to make ends meet, so life would only get easier.
