His Eagle Eyes on Me

She headed to the South Block and realized that Lucas had left home, so she went to the back kitchen of the Main Block.

When Mrs. Flores saw her, she smiled and said, "Mr. Lucas isn't home today so you could have rested at home!"

"He asked me to come over at noon, so I came," Irene helped to prepare the food and said, "but he's not home."

"He went to the Bennett lady's birthday party! I think he just left!" Mrs. Flores said. "Mr. Woods went with him and they brought a lot of gifts with them."

Irene was stunned for a moment when she realized that the 'thing' he had to do was attend Kasey's birthday party.

"What a coincidence!" she thought. "Ms. Bennett's birthday is on the same day as mine."

"I heard that they invited a lot of powerful people to the party today! It takes place at Bennett's mansion, and Mrs. Woods can't even go if she wanted to because the Bennetts only invited Mr. Lucas. Even Mr. Woods will have to come home later!" Mrs. Flores blurted out. "How lucky Mr. Lucas is to catch Ms. Bennett's eyes! Her parents didn't try to stop this which means that Mr. Lucas has a chance with Ms. Bennett."

"Mr. Lucas is handsome, and it's normal for girls to like him!" Irene agreed.

Do you like him, too?" Mrs. Flores glanced at Irene and said, "There's no one else here, so you don't have to be shy. If I were twenty years younger, I would be enticed by his looks as well. He doesn't look like Mr. Woods at all. I heard that he looks like his

three of them are Mr. Woods' sons, so he must care for all of them, but I think he favors Mr. Lucas most at the moment. If Mr. Lucas gets to marry Ms. Bennett, Mrs. Woods will never dare bully him again," Mrs. Flores said before glancing at Irene. "Don't be too upset, Irene.
