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.
Lucas did not stop. He exited the front door. She had no clue as to where he was going.
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 come home for 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, let me help 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.
"Which university is Mr. Lucas going to? When is he leaving? He's mad at me and won't tell me anything."
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 come by 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.
