The Runaway Groom

Chapter 288

Walking up to Isaac, Irene asked, “You’re already awake? How are you feeling?”

Isaac did not answer, however, and kept staring at her-she was not hurt, but she had yet to change her clothes, which were now a filthy mess.

Noticing him staring at her clothing just then, she shrugged, “Didn’t have time to change.”

“If you don’t like Debbie, I can have her transferred elsewhere.”

He had clearly heard her conversation with Stan, and she had asked him about Debbie before as well.

Perhaps she did not like women hanging around him?

Meanwhile, Stan frowned.

What had gotten between these two? Why was Debbie suddenly involved?

Naturally, he voiced his own opinion on the matter. “She’s serious with her work, and I don’t think she’s ever made any major mistakes.”

In reality he was hoping that Isaac did not transfer Debbie since he would need time to develop a new partnership if a new secretary came.

Moreover, they had been longtime colleagues and their partnership had been great, so he was thinking about it from a completely professional standpoint. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Meanwhile, Irene gave Isaac a look. “I don’t hate her or anything-I was just asking Stan about her since she’s one of the people close to you. I simply wanted to know more about her.”

It was a good enough explanation, and Stan felt that Irene was not that petty. In fact, he came to find her smart and easygoing, and she was not the type to harass anyone, let alone Debbie.

Isaac, on the other hand… was acting like a total slave to her.

Here Irene was, just asking about Debbie, and he was already thinking that she was jealous?

The man was not like that before-love certainly changes a man, and this was the first time Stan had ever seen Isaac being so eager to earn a woman’s favor.

What a rare sight!

Isaac then turned toward Stan and saw the eagerness on his face to gossip.

His gaze darkened, and he growled, “If you have so much free time, why don’t you clean up every toilet at the headquarters?”

Both Stan and Irene were speechless, though the former was soon throwing up his hands in surrender.

One must never poke their nose into their boss’s private affairs, it seems.

Chuckling fawningly, he said, “Actually, I’m quite busy.”

On the other hand, Irene was utterly confused as to why Isaac suddenly turned his crosshairs on Stan.

She just did not know that Isaac was very familiar with the people around him, and had immediately seen that Stan was keen on gossiping.

“Keep an eye on Quincy Moore’s movements,” Isaac said.

“Yes, sir. I’ll personally see to it,” Stan replied. “Also, I’ve passed the document to Kathy York and told her

to deliver it to Quincy Moore. I think she’s convinced that the document is genuine, and would now be contacting Light Group’s various shareholders to prepare a coup.”

“Good. Now go about your business,” Isaac growled.

Stan hence tactfully left the ward, carefully closing the door behind him.

Irene arched her back, staring at him as she asked softly, “Are you hungry or thirsty?”

“Neither,” Isaac replied, and held out a hand.

Irene put hers on his, and locked fingers with him!

“Thank you,” she said, her eyes a little red just then..

She remembered how she felt when she saw that rock wedged on his back, which got there because he was shielding her, keeping her unscathed.

She would certainly not have been fine otherwise, and she had never felt this protected in her life.

At that very moment, her emotions were burgeoning, and her heart raced uncontrollably-she was almost. rejoicing.

If Ricky’s dud bomb did not really test him, the real one certainly did.

Sitting on his bed, she gently placed her head over his chest, listening to his strong, rhythmic heartbeats!
