Layla took a deep breath. She went online to look for a photo of Eric. She copied the photo before sending it to her best friend.
When Amy saw Eric's photo, she replied with a series of question marks.
Amy: [Why are you sending me Eric Santos' photo? I'm asking you to send me a photo of that old person that you like!]
Layla typed with her rather numb hands, [He is that person!]
[Bloody hell! F*ck! F*ck! F*ck!]
[What sort of response is this?]
[I can accept! I can accept!]
[Amy, be serious!]
[I can accept Eric as my boyfriend! He is so handsome! Even if he is fifty years old, I would still love him!]
[… Don't try to steal him from me!]
[Are you two in a relationship? Does he like you as well? What is the situation between you two right now? Are you free to talk? Can I call you?!]

The butler was speaking to Irene in the Woods' mansion.
"Irene, has your pay been debited into your account? I told Mrs. Woods about your grandmother's passing. She knows that you have no support right now, and she pities you, so she decided to pay you the full amount despite, you not coming into work for a few days," the butler said, smiling.
"Sir, thank you! My pay is in my account already," Irene said gratefully, "The money that I owe you…"
"There is no rush. You owe other people some money as well, and you still need to get into college. If you insist on returning the money, you can return it once you have graduated and gotten a job!" the butler said. "Irene if only your face had not been ruined, you would surely have been a likable child."
"Sir, thank you."
