"Mr. Lucas, are you hungry? I made pancakes for you. I think it's gone cold now. I will heat it up in the microwave." She knew that Lucas had come to the kitchen because he was starving and darted into the kitchen to get to work.

"Mr. Lucas, there's pasta in that pot over there. Do you want some?"

"I'll do it myself." Lucas was facing the microwave and had his back toward Irene.

Irene felt helpless when she could not see his face. "Mr. Lucas, I'm sorry! I know that I was wrong. Please don't be mad."
