His Eagle Eyes on Me

"They won't come here," Lucas said calmly. "You can go once they are inside the house."

"I... I'm not scared." Irene shut the door and turned around, slightly calmer but still awkward. "Mr. Lucas, Mrs. Woods really didn't send me. Even if she wanted to do something to you, she wouldn't ask for my help. In her eyes, apart from my ugliness, the rest of me is insignificant."

"No matter how hard you try to explain yourself, you still spent that money." Lucas still felt wary, but he was no longer as angry.

While she had spent the money, he was the one who had eaten the food and used the medicine.

"I didn't spend all of it. There is around sixty dollars left." She took out the change from her purse. "I will throw it away."

"What's the point of throwing it away now?" He shot her a cold look. "Don't cry."

She froze, thinking that he regretted shouting at her. Just when she felt moved by his words and was about to forgive him, he continued, "You look horrible when you cry."

"... Mr. Lucas, you called me ugly just now, and you are saying that again. How can you say that?"

"Do you think you look great when you cry?"

"It's rude to insult someone's looks!"
