The Runaway Groom
Chapter 725

Chapter 725

“Tobey Kitsch's wife," Irene answered flatly with a wane smile.

She was the victim when it came to the research data leaks and was somehow targeted for relation.

People were certainly as complicated as they were sinister.

'So? Have you thought about what you'd do?" Isaac asked, glowering. It was clear that he was very unhappy about this, especially after Irene suffered so much because of those leaks.

And yet, they plotted revenge instead of being repentant, and the sheer inane attitude from that alone deserved no mercy.

Seeing that Irene was silent, he quickly said, “I'll handle it."

Irene looked up at him then, her dark eyelashes fluttering.

After more silence, she said, "You can handle anything that happens outside this building. I'll handle what's within." S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FɪndNovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Isaac became quiet, because he wanted to handle both for her.

And judging from her look of hesitation, she was not going to be tough on them.

"Irene..."

“I never tell you what to do at work, so I would like you to not meddle too much with mine as well."

It was not as if Irene could not be merciless.

However, Dennis insisted that Finn was a good kid, and it was Mrs. Kitsch who goaded Finn into this anyway.

If Finn was actually sharp or scheming, he would not have allowed himself to be used.

She was going to be the next director, and Finn would have enough foresight to tell that no good would come of upsetting her.

Even if he managed to hurt her-or kill her-he would end up in prison, let alone be able to keep his job.

Judging from that alone, he was no schemer... not when he could not even see that far ahead.

It just proved what Dennis said about him being naive.

And since Irene was going to work here, she needed at least a couple confidants-people who were trustworthy.

She decided that she could afford to hold back and study him, while giving him a chance to change.

Meanwhile, Isaac was holding her gaze for a while, but eventually strode off, pouting in silence.

Irene did not chase after him-she would not compromise where her career was concerned just because Isaac was her husband.

Likewise, she never asked what new recruits or new projects Remy had recently, because she did not understand any of it, let alone be able to offer the right suggestion.

Likewise, Isaac did not know the nature of her job, and what he believed was good for her might not actually be.

Different fields meant different styles.

Moreover, it was still working hours, and she still had not spoken to Dennis about Finn.

That was why he did not chase after Isaac, though she planned to talk things out with him at night.

Having composed herself, she headed to the director's office, but got no response when she knocked on the door.

Someone told her that he went to the back garden, so Irene went there, where she found him speaking with Yolanda.

She was near enough to hear what they were saying too.

"Look, just talk to Irene, and be nice if you want to keep your job," Dennis suggested.

'1 did nothing wrong." Yolanda refused, since she would rather have her pride.

"You really don't want to keep your job, do you?' Dennis asked, and broke it down for her before she could answer, “Irene can be agreeable, but do you think that's the same for Isaac Jefferson?" “Why didn't you tell me he's her backer?" Yoland pursed her lips.

“I thought you knew. Wasn't everyone constantly gossiping about her backer? So why would you behave like an idiot?"

“It's all just talk and rumors. It's not like we'd know who itis."

And they certainly did not.

“Well, now you do," Dennis said, clapping her on the shoulder. "Just decide for yourself which is more important: your pride or your job. I can't help you now, and you saw for yourself how protective Isaac Jefferson was. Unless Irene pleads in your favor, well... I'm sure you know the man's style."

Yolanda was naturally frustrated. "Well, what am I supposed to do? Just ask?"

Dennis certainly could not help her out there.

Still, he saw Irene standing nearby just as he turned to leave!
