Days later.
If Sarah was the first woman Beauty ever saw by Lucas's side, then this woman was the first woman she encountered in his home.
Having been granted a mini vacation from school and with Laura not being home, Beauty was the only one left in the villa.
Relishing the peace, she slept till noon.
While passing by Lucas's room, she surprisingly found his door slitly open.
Usually, whenever he wasn't home, his door would always remain shut.
Assuming the maid was cleaning his room, she was about to walk away when she heard a woman's voice coming from inside the room.
Just by her voice, the woman sounded as cheerful as a canary.
As though compelled by some unseen force, Beauty pushed open the door only to witness an unsightly scene.
Lucas was lying on the bed, half-naked, with an indecipherable expression on his face, neither pleased nor displeased.
A woman in a thin strapped dress was provocatively positioned on top of him.
The door let out a slight "squeak".
