The Runaway Groom novel Chapter 299

Chapter 299

Turning his face so that half of it was buried in his pillow, Isaac said, “You can go if you want.”

Stan pursed his lips, understanding what was going on just then.

Truly, what goes around comes around… to think that the day had come that Isaac was kept on a leash- and on a very tight leash at that!

Despite what she said, Irene remained focused as she bandaged Isaac. “Stay here and rest.”

Isaac then took her hand and gave it a squeeze. “Come back soon. Have Stan stay with you.”

Irene nodded and left the ward.

Stan was ready waiting outside.

“Let’s go,” she said.

Stan quickly followed, appearing hesitant to speak his mind despite holding the car keys.

Unable to stand his fidgeting, Irene said, “Just spit it already.”

“It’s not much, but… I just wanted to say that you might be paranoid. Debbie and I are both indebted to Mr. Jefferson, and we’re definitely loyal to him-”

“Why do you think I’m paranoid?” Irene asked in return, cutting him short.

Stan became quiet since he had no response to that.

Even as he drove, they never said a word as they soon arrived at Debbie’s home.

When Stan knocked on the door, and Debbie opened it to see that it was him, she scowled. “Like I said, I’m not leaving the country. I’m just a secretary, so what can I do over there if Mr. Jefferson isn’t there-”

She soon trailed off as she spotted Irene behind Stan, and her eyes flashed briefly in wariness. “W-What are you doing here?”

“She came to talk to you,” Stan replied, answering for Irene.

“Here, have a drink.”

“Thank you.” Irene smiled, taking a seat on the couch.

With that, Debbie was once against lowering her gaze, afraid to meet Irene’s eyes. “There’s a reason I don’t want to leave the country.”

“Do tell,” Irene said as she took a sip of the tea.

In reality, Debbie was bright and outstanding, but she seemed to lose her glow in Irene’s presence.

Anyone would be looking at Irene first if they stood together, as Irene outshone her in both looks and flair

-her cool composure and the way she carried herself appeared affable, but people would still know enough to keep a respectful distance.

Looking up at Irene just then, Debbie asked, “Do you know what my job as a secretary entails?”

She was trying to fend off Irene by using her job as an excuse!
