With that, Yannie turned and sprinted in Lucas' direction.
Since Yannie's mother, Mrs. Flores, used to work as a nanny for Luna and Joshua, Yannie was naturally familiar with Lucas.
Thomas remained motionless, his lips curving into a small smile as he watched Yannie sprint nimbly towards Lucas.
That was his girl; kind, soft, and adorable.
However, the next second—
Thomas watched as Yannie arrived at Lucas' side and, while talking to him, reached out to wipe the sweat from Lucas' forehead.
His smile immediately froze on his face.
Yannie never treated him that kindly before!
Why was she helping Lucas wipe his sweat? Could he not do it on his own? Did he not have hands that were capable of accomplishing this task?
Lucas instinctively glanced in Thomas’ direction when he felt a cold, steely gaze on him His heart leaped into his throat when he met Thomas' gaze.
Lucas immediately took a small step back and glanced sheepishly at Yannie. "Sir ordered me to pretend as though I had found this metal plate by accident."
With that, he reached out to Yannie and said, "Give it to me, then."
Thomas was still watching him, so he did not dare to continue chatting with Yannie at all.
Yannie furrowed her brow, puzzled as to why Lucas seemed so unwilling to talk to her.
She wanted to continue the conversation, not because she had anything to share with Lucas, but because if her interaction with Lucas was too short and abrupt, it would arouse Gwen's suspicion.
However, this was not what Lucas thought. Instead, he did not want to spend any minute longer than necessary with Yannie, considering the fact that Thomas was watching him like a hawk.
