Chapter 712

The lunchbox was not from the cafeteria, and while the sliced fruits inside were not rare, it was not exactly common either.

Not even Sheryl knew that she liked it because of its sickly sweet taste, even compared to other fruits.

She loved it as a child, and since not many knew that, she soon had a hunch.

To no surprise, Seth appeared at the door and he entered with a smile. Irene’s expression was ice-cold, however. 'What are you doing here?" “Just checking in on you, or is that not allowed?"

"Nope," Irene said shortly.

Seth was not discouraged, however.

Even if he wanted to know what happened between Irene and Harvey badly, he was smart enough to not mention it.

'I remembered that you liked this fruit as a kid, so I bought it for you as dessert after your lunch.”

Irene lowered her gaze.

She did like to eat sweet food as a child, but that was because life has been tough for her as a child.

Now that she was an adult, she no longer relied on that stuff, and she did not hesitate to throw the lunchbox into the trash can.

"What are you doing?!" Seth gaped. "I went out of my way to buy that for you

“I've had plenty, so leave!"

Irene rarely thought about the mess with Harvey while she was at work, but the scene from that moment immediately flooded her mind once she saw Seth.

Seth pursed his lips. "Aren't we friends...?"

"Don't even say that!" Irene snapped sharply. "Don't ever bother me while I'm at work, and don't ever show up in my sight ever again! We will never be friends!"

"But we were! I even thought of you as my younger sister-"

“That was before.’ Irene cut him short. "Are you going to leave, or do I have to call for security?"

Seth refused to leave, however. "Look, I'm just here to apologize..." Irene called for security right then, and several security personnel quickly arrived.

She pointed at Seth, saying, "Don't let him in ever again.”

"Yes, ma'am."

Still, they did not get physical with Seth immediately, instead telling him calmly, "Sir, I'm afraid it's time for you to leave."

"We're friends," Seth quickly tried to explain.

“You have to leave, sir," the security personnel repeated, clearly not as kind this time-even appearing a little overbearing.

Seth scowled. "Look, I told you: we're friends-"

Two of them strode forward right then, seizing his arms and holding them behind his back as they began to drag him outside.

“Irene! How could you do this to me?! Even if you're upset, just tell me what happened..."

Seth's voice soon faded from the doorway, but Irene became restless and she could not calm down whatever she did.

She was in no mood to continue her work and she headed to a lab, locking herself inside and poured all her attention into it.

She slowly calmed down and her restlessness vaporized since she would forget about everything else once she gets focused.

Since she had a feeling that Isaac was not going home tonight either, she worked late into the night.

However, her stomach was hurting after skipping two meals, and she was leaning against her desk, arching her back as she sweated profusely from her forehead.

Still, she turned off her equipment before stepping outside.

When she opened the door and saw the man standing outside, she took her hand off her stomach as she felt at once excited and evasive. Lowering her head, she asked, "What are you doing here?"
