The Runaway Groom Chapter 235

Irene was at a loss for words–why did she have to go to Isaac’s office with him?

“How could you be so childish?” She was at once tired and amused.

Somehow, a man as indomitable as him could be adorable Although the journey was quiet as they headed to Sky Group’s headquarters, the mood between them was relaxed, even a little sweet–as if they were dating.

Arriving downstairs, Isaac parked the car and said, “Come on. Let’s get you a drink since you’re here anyway.

Irene was speechless.

She could tell what he was going to say later: you already had a drink, so just stay and we could leave work together later.

He couldn’t get more childish than that, but Irene felt a little happy inside at the thought of how clingy he was being.

Taking the elevator straight to his office on the top floor, Isaac told Debbie the secretary as they walked past her desk, “Two coffees, please.”

“I can get them.” Irene smiled. “How do you take yours?”

Debbie butted in, saying, “Dark.”

Isaac gave Debbie a cool look, and she promptly lowered her gaze.

“I didn’t know that before,” Irene said, as if jealous.

Isaac’s lips quickly curled up in a smile–he liked it when she cared.

Irene’s eyes met his, and she quickly turned away. “I’ll make our coffee.”

Debbie had shown Irene around the floor, so she knew where the lounge was.

After Irene brewed their coffee, however, she saw Kathy at the doorway.

Stan had demoted Kathy to a low–level administration personnel at one of the branch companies, and employees of her rank weren’t supposed to enter the offices of executive personnel. However, Kathy was here. again because of Isaac. It was only natural since she did everything she could just to stay in Sky Group–as long as she was still around, she had a chance.

In order to make him fall for her, she even brought the silver crucifix. It was the reason Isaac allowed her to stay in his company before. She was planning to make Isaac allow her to transfer back to headquarters, so that she could see him more.

At the same time, the loud shattering of the coffee mugs alerted Isaac from his office.

When he stepped out, he found Irene sitting on the ground drenched miserably in coffee, frowning at the stains on the face and her blouse, which was sticking to her lingerie due to the wetness.

“What happened here?” he asked as he held out a hand to her.

Irene beat Kathy to it. “I sprained my foot. It has nothing to do with Miss York.”

There was an edge to her words–despite sounding like she was defending Kathy, she virtually stopped short of saying that Kathy did it.

As she looked up at Isaac’s palm, she gently put hers on his. He held it, pulling her up to his arms.

Kathy was livid, but tried to explain, “I didn’t touch her.”

Irene knew she shouldn’t say a word, and simply pressed herself against Isaac’s chest. She asked gingerly, “Should I go?”

Isaac turned to glare at Kathy and snapped angrily, “Who let you in here?!”
