An hour later, Lucas saw Kasey out of the house. The silver car disappeared into the distance as soon as she got inside the car, and Lucas returned to the South Block, halting when he spotted Irene standing dazedly in the yard.

The snow was brief and light, but there was already a thin layer of snow on Irene's head and shoulders.

"What are you doing?!" He reached out to clear the snow on her head. "Isn't it cold out here?"

She sobered and said, "Mr. Lucas, I saw Ms. Bennett. She is so pretty."

"Did you stand here the entire time because you wanted to see her?" He dragged her back into the house.

"Not entirely... You are having dinner in the main block tonight, so I didn't have to make dinner. I got bored!" Her face and nose were red from the cold, and her skin began to itch once they went indoors. "You are so stupid!" He studied her face and cursed, immediately regretting his words as soon as they left his lips. "If you catch a cold, who is going to take care of me?"

She grinned at him. "I am wearing enough layers so I won't catch a cold. It's snowing out there, but it's not a storm. A snowstorm would freeze me, so I wouldn't have been out there if there was a storm." "The doors to the Main Block are shut, so what exactly were you even trying to see?" he said before adding, "Do you want to make more money?"

Without hesitation, she nodded. "Do you have any ideas, Mr. Lucas?"
