The Runaway Groom
Chapter 804

James was certainly not acting normal, and Isaac flipped through the document he passed him while feeling puzzled.

It was a company dossier and he did not notice anything out of place. "Can we build a partnership with them?" James asked just then.

Isaac frowned in confusion at James at that—it was a Minervan company, a manufacturer of cosmetic products.

What reason would they have to work with them? They were not involved in that field, and even if they intended expansion, it would definitely not be in this field.

James quickly explained, “I heard that Erin is working there. If we're partners with that company, I have a reason to meet her."

Isaac was speechless. Going through all that just to meet Erin Gooding?

"What if she resigns when she sees you?"

While James was left speechless, Isaac pressed on. "And if she gets a job in F&B after that, does that mean we have to expand into that business as well?"

James could not say anything to that.

Isaac got up and walked to his side, clapping him on the shoulder, and said, "Just go to her if you want to see her. There's no need to make things complicated—just be direct.”

James would certainly like that, but he was just worried that Erin would refuse to see him.

Despite his disappointment, Isaac told him, "Are you really giving up even before you try?"

James thought about it and he had to agree.

Even if he did not want to meet Erin directly, he could just take a peek and make sure that she was fine. He would certainly be relieved that way, instead of having to worry all the time. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

With that, he whipped out his phone and booked a plane ticket!

Once that was done, James asked, "Did Irene agree to my suggestion last time?"

Isaac returned to his seat. "I haven't discussed it with her."

Irene had been so busy lately she would always come home late, and he had yet to discuss it with her.

On the other hand, James actually thinks that Isaac would not hesitate if he believed that the plan was viable—dragging his feet was not his style.

"Do you have misgivings about the plan?"

Isaac tapped his fingers on his desk as he said, "It probably isn't as simple as we'd think. You're saying that we could draw out the mastermind if we isolate Irene, but they did not leave any traces even after sending that gang after her. It's clear that they were very prudent, and it'd be an obvious trap if we suddenly isolate Irene. They won't fall for it that easily."

James had to agree. "But shouldn't we do something, at least?"

Isaac actually had someone he suspected, but did not want to startle his quarry since he did not have any evidence. "There's no rush.” Harvey Gooding was not a concern, and with Stan Hill keeping an eye on him, he would never dare to get out of line, nor would he have the time or strength.

As for a person who knew him and wanted to hurt him through Irene? It was not difficult to guess.

"Okay." James had faith in Isaac's judgment, and that he must have a plan if he was this calm.

He had no reason to worry as he traveled to Minerva now.

It was past 10 PM when Finn walked up to Irene, asking, "Do you want supper?”

Their research was now at the practical phase, and they were testing it on animals.

Irene was operating, having scrubbed up, and was holding a scalpel in hand. Putting it away, he proceeded to the stitching.

"What time is it?" she asked without looking up.

"Almost eleven," Finn replied.

“I'l pass. I will be heading home soon anyway."

Someone must stay back to observe the vitals of the condition of the animal with the heart transplant.

Once the stitching was done, exhaustion started to hit her. "You can clean up the rest. I'll be here early tomorrow."

"Okay. You have nothing to worry about—just leave it to me," Finn said. Irene took off her scrubs and had a drink.

She had been standing beside the surgical table for three hours and her limbs were sore.

After a short break, she left Hotmesh Research, with Eagle driving her home.

When she returned home and saw that Isaac had not returned, she actually heaved a sigh of relief—she was worried that he would complain about her coming home late.

She took a bath and quickly went to bed, falling asleep quickly since she was tired.

Still, she vaguely felt something pressing on her and she had trouble breathing!

"Ugh..."
