His Eagle Eyes on Me

At nine in the morning, Irene finished her breakfast and walked out of the kitchen. She intended on going through her notes as she waited for Lucas and the tutor.

Shortly after, someone came knocking. She went to open the door and spotted Sam outside the door.

"Mr. Sam."

Irene did not understand why Sam enjoyed coming to the South Block so much. If Lucas was home, she would never have dared to let Sam in, but even in Lucas' absence, she did not have the courage to let him in.

"See? I was right!" Sam said before pushing the door open to enter the living room. "I told you that he wouldn't be back."

"Is there something you need, Mr. Sam?" Irene did not want to talk about Lucas with Sam, but Sam insisted on continuing the subject.

"Irene, I know that Lucas has been taking care of you, so you are protective of him," he said as he sat down on the couch, "but listen to me. Don't dream about getting anywhere with him."
