New Role

Lyra smiled broadly, her feelings were mixed. She still couldn't believe that she had and would eventually reach that stage. Even though Lucas refused to have sex with her several times, in the end he was still a man who would be tempted too.

Lyra feels much more confident now, she is sure that sooner or later she will have Lucas' heart completely and that way maybe she can take the opportunity to start a new life with a man who is much richer and better than Jonathan Smith.

"I noticed that you have been smiling since earlier, Miss?" Kerry asked her who seemed quite curious about the happy look that Lyra showed on her beautiful face.

"Does my face look like it's always smiling?"

"It seems like something good happened today."

"What kind of person do you think Lucas is?"

"Mr. Lucas?"

"Yes, you can just tell me general things. For example, he is a quiet man, cold or whatever. I'm sure questions like that are fine?" Lyra tries to find an opportunity by persuading Kerry and her two friends to tell Lyra everything they know about Lucas.

Lyra feels that she has fallen in love with Lucas, in her eyes Lucas is the perfect man. He is very handsome, he is very rich and he has extraordinary charisma. Slowly, she began to bury all her hopes of becoming Jonathan Smith's wife again when her contract with Lucas Schneider expired. She doesn't want to go back into the same hole and she also wants to prove to Jonathan and Sophie that she can find a much better man.

"I think Mr. Lucas is quite good, even though he is cold and very strict. But he has a good side." Kerry said with a little hesitation. Lyra, who heard her answer, felt that Kerry's answer did not sound sincere.

"Hmm...really? But why do you look so doubtful?"

"It's not like that, Miss. I'm just confused about what to say. I've only been working at this mansion for four months, so-"

"You've only been working for four months?"

"That's right, Miss."

"I'm only two months." Mona said, continuing Kerry's words.

"How about you, Judy?"

"Judy is still quite new here, only three weeks."

"Kerry's right, I've only worked here three weeks."

"Oh my God, the three of you must be stressed facing the Schneider brothers. Do your master's younger brothers often come to this mansion?"

"The only ones who often come are Mr. Aiden and Mr. Gavin. Meanwhile, Mr. Jacob and Mr. Levi only come once every two weeks or when master ask them to come."

"What about Keith and Lucien?"

"Mr Keith has a little strange habit,"

"A little strange how?"

"He often appears suddenly, sometimes he hunts in the forest behind the mansion and brings his catch to be cooked by the chefs."

"He's really haphazard, isn't he? What about Lucien?"

"Mr. Lucien is Mr. Lucas' representative, the two of them often share duties. You often ask Mr. Lucien to replace him if there are sudden business matters, because usually Mr. Lucien will only come at certain times."

"Is that so? It's a shame, even though out of the seven of them, only Lucien can be a pleasant friend to chat with. But you said earlier that Aiden and Gavin are the ones who come most often?"

"That's right, it seems like Mr. Aiden and Mr. Gavin are the closest to Mr. Lucas. They always accompany Mr. Lucas wherever they go."

"Just like an accomplice, right? Even though Aiden is the least friendly compared to the others. I didn't expect him to be the most obedient."

"Mr. Aiden really respects Mr. Lucas, that's why he will be very angry if something bothers Mr. Lucas."

"Do you think I'm as bully as Aiden thinks?"

"I-it's not like that, Miss Lyra. I mean-"

"Hahaha...I'm just kidding. But I think what you said is true. Compared to the other Lucas brothers, Aiden is the cruelest to me. It's very clear he hates me, maybe because he thinks I'm the one with the most potential to become a nuisance."

"I don't know."

"Okay, enough combing my hair. I want to go to the garden because since I came to this place I rarely go outside to breathe fresh air."

"It would be better for me, Judy or Mona to accompany you, Miss."

"Will I be suspected if I even go to the park? Do you think I will run away like the other day?"

"It's not like that, Miss Lyra. We are only carrying out our duties to supervise and help you while you are here."

"You don't believe me, do you? You must think that I still have the possibility of escaping, right?" Lyra frowned. She knew that her three maids still didn't believe her.

"We're sorry, Miss Lyra. We were just carrying out our duties."

"Yes, okay, I understand. It's up to you if you want to come to the park with me. Besides, I don't have the desire to run away either."

"Is it true?"

"I think it's quite interesting here too, that's why I think I'm starting to enjoy my new role here."
