The Runaway Groom
Chapter 803

Mark got up and left the conference room, and Irene walked with him to the front entrance.

She cheered up considerably after her conservation with Mark, and she then told Professor Lowe to contact New Sun Pharma, so that they could talk about the agreement New Sun Pharma wanted to sign with him.

“I thought we should wait?" Professor Lowe asked—why the sudden change of plans?

Irene said, "Someone will help us resolve the issue, so it went smoother than planned.” sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Oh... I shall go to them, then? Will you be coming too?" Professor Lowe asked.

"Actually, I'll pass,” she replied—if she went, it would be no different from telling New Sun Pharma that she had a hand in this.

Still, worried that Professor Lowe would get hurt if he went alone, she said, "My bodyguard will be going with you. He'll keep you safe." "Alright, thank you very much." Professor Lowe replied.

With that, Irene sent Eagle to escort Professor Lowe to New Sun Pharma, while she waited back at Hotmesh Research.

Eagle returned with Professor Lowe at seven, and Irene asked, "How did it go?"

“It went smoothly..." Professor Lowe replied. “Though I must admit I was scared for a moment.”

"What?"

"Oh, you have no idea," Professor Lowe said as he sat down. "The instant they heard that I was rejecting them and not to sign their agreement, their expressions darkened and they were all at my throat. I just gave it to them straight like you said, and told them I didn't fear them. They asked if I'd stolen the photos, so I said I did, and that they were the ones who messed with me first and I was just maintaining my personal rights. They tried to get physical right then, but they didn't reach me thanks to Eagle... that was when their boss got a call that they had internal issues and someone ratted them out, with the police getting involved. That meant they didn't have time for me, so they allowed me to leave without issue... But honestly, that was close." Irene smiled. "As long as you're safe.”

"Were you the one who sent the police on them?" Professor Lowe asked.

Irene did not tell him the truth. "It might be someone they offended before.”

Professor Lowe nodded, not appearing skeptical at all. “True. They're so despicable they would definitely have made other enemies." Breathing a sigh of relief then, he exclaimed, "Let's sign the agreement then!"

"Sure," Irene said, and she had Finn Crowe bring the agreement they drafted before.

Professor Lowe signed it without even reading, having grown to trust Irene after what happened.

"I'l come here tomorrow to start work."

Irene shook his hand. “Thanks for joining us."

Professor Lowe nodded. "I certainly look forward to our success.” Irene said, "I'm sure it's just a matter of time after you join us.”

“I'l do my best. I won't let you down—not after the lengths you went for me!" Professor Lowe declared earnestly.

Their research would develop quickly with Professor Lowe's skills, and while things got busy for Irene, she did not feel all tired, and everyone was motivated just like her.

James Cross arrived at Isaac's office with a stack of documents, appearing hesitant to speak.

Isaac did not notice the look on his face and simply gestured for him to put it down. "You can go back to work now."

James, however, stayed and asked tentatively, "Do you have a moment, sir?"

Isaac looked up. "You have something to ask?"

James nodded. “I need your permission.”

Isaac put aside the document he was holding and reclined against his chair. "Shoot."

"Please take a look at this." James said, and passed him a document. Isaac was puzzled, since James was always candid at work.

What had gotten into him today?
