The Runaway Groom Chapter 249
They left the hospital with the bodyguards escorting them, not to Isaac’s mansion, but to the residence where he kept Irene prisoner before.There weren’t many who knew about this place, and it was relatively safer than Isaac's mansion. Moreover, he had arranged for people to keep constant watch for additional security. Zachary arrived just as they put Tommy on the bed—Isaac had called him here.He wasn’t a doctor now, but he still had enough connections to find the best and most reliable pediatrician to act as Tommy's attending physician, no matter how much it cost Isaac. Although he had to resign as a doctor, which was his favorite job, he had to go with his mother's arrangement to work at Slate Industries for Lulu Adams's sake.Zachary searched his memory for a while, and soon came up with the right man for the job."Leave this to me," he said. Isaac said, "Make it fast.""Okay," Zachary replied, and glanced at Irene. "Why would you need another doctor for your baby, though

Once the first board member loyal to Isaac spoke out, more board members nodded. Some rose to their feet and declared their support for him to keep his position as CEO.They had all seen Isaac’s ability, and knew that they were only paid dividends despite holding small portions of the company's shares because Isaac constantly led Sky Group to new heights. On the other hand, would they really be able to enjoy the same benefits without hard work if there was a change in leadership? They were naturally suspicious. Not to mention, Ian’s crime called his father's character into question. That being said, Henry only called for the board meeting because he had privately contracted many board members, asking that they endorse Greg—that was why Greg appeared so confident. Naturally, Henry would rather support Ian because Ian was young and more or less capable. Unfortunately, Ian was now under investigation for his casino ship. There was no way Ian could be here, just as the board was un

Isaac did not slow down or turn to look at Greg as he left, leaving Greg seething, "You see, Dad?! You spoiled him—he has no manners at all!"On the other hand, Henry was pensive. He understood Isaac's temper. Does Isaac really not care about staying as CEO of Sky Group? Perhaps he had some trick up his sleeve?"Dad—""Shut up!" Henry shot Greg a glare. He wondered to himself how his own son could show next to no composure, completely losing in style to his own nephew. Nonetheless, he noticed that things weren’t going his way, and quickly decided to call off the meeting. "Since everyone has their own thoughts on this matter, we won't be coming to an agreement so soon. Let's call off this meeting for now."However, some of the board members were still vocally supportive of Isaac. "Henry, I'm sure there is a reason for this. Isaac has always managed the company flawlessly, and everyone can see that—moreover, nobody’s perfect. I’m sure we don't have to change CEOs over this."

Irene froze instantly.On the other hand, the woman didn’t notice her, and was still engrossed with caressing the desk…while imagining Isaac sitting there at work."Bah…"Tommy suddenly murmured, and Debbie the secretary promptly snapped out of her fantasy. She turned around but saw no one, although she found the door slightly ajar.Still, as she quietly walked up and opened the door she found nobody in sight. Breathing a sigh in relief, she straightened her clothes and left, closing the door behind her. Irene, who had been hiding behind a corner, appeared weirded out by Debbie's behavior.She looked down at Tommy, and took a deep breath to relax herself.The baby was blinking his large eyes and staying fixedly at her in turn, understanding none of it.Irene leaned in to give him a peck on the forehead, adjusted her hold on him, and then turned to take the elevator downstairs.It wasn’t until she returned inside the car that she relaxed.Even so, she felt the creeps and cr

Anything goes, as long as it appeases Isaac. "Well, has Dr. Kyle agreed to work as Tommy's attending physician?" Irene asked."No," Isaac replied.In fact, Peter Kyle did not appear attracted by any offer, no matter how much money he was promised. It seems that ambitions are just like Zachary’s and Irene’s, though he promised to come immediately should Tommy fall sick again.Zachary recommended Dr. Kyle because he had come into the country to further his career—to be precise, his girlfriend was local, and he decided to take up a career here to stay with her. Anyway, someone as talented as him was bound to find success anywhere he went. Dr. Kyle’s reason for not working as Tommy's attending physician was because he has to help other children as well—such was his obligation and compassion as a doctor.Irene was sure most doctors shared that compassion, and wasn’t surprised by Peter's response.Bzzt—Irene's phone suddenly started to ring, and she answered it outside.It was Mi

Irene’s question left Isaac Jefferson frowning—it seemed to come out of the blue.Why suddenly mention Debbie? That change in conversation was too quick and too random."She's just my secretary. Why did you ask that?" Isaac replied, realizing then that he had never observed Debbie.Irene's brow was wrinkled as she remembered what Debbie did with his desk. "I saw her in your office when I went there…"There was an edge in her voice, but Isaac thought it was fine since Debbie entered his office from time to time while he was away. "So? What of it?"Irene's lips twitched—was she being paranoid?But she clearly saw Debbie laying on Isaac's desk, and what she did was…Maybe she was imagining it?But she clearly was not!Still, Isaac's permanent scowl turned to a smile. "Are you jealous, Irene? If you feel insecure that I have a woman working closely with me, I can get a change in personnel."Irene blinked. "You think I'm being jealous?""Aren't you?" Isaac chuckled.While Irene

Isaac could never resist Irene when she was being so charming.Smiling begrudgingly, he said, "Fine."Irene beamed, and he lifted a brow. He asked, "Are you really that happy about this?""I just wanted to see what she's up to," Irene said. Isaac turned to study her—she was as indomitable as she was a risk-taker, but he liked that about her.He never cared for women who were too soft, something which Irene was not.She was actually tough and smart, but she wasn’t hard as nails—her body was just so soft that he didn’t want to let her go whenever he had her in his arms. She certainly was the best of both worlds.They soon arrived at a mall, and Irene got a trolley once they alighted from the car. Mrs. Watson had always been making Isaac's meals, and all his other needs were seen by other personnel too—he had therefore never been to a mall himself.Since he wasn’t used to it, he stayed quiet as he watched Irene and followed her around, eager to stay close and so he wouldn’t b

Irene was staring at Robin from the back, her lips curling in a smile as she was almost certain what Robin was up to now.While the other personnel were timing their clocks, Irene waited at the break room, where a man approached her. "Are you an instructor?"Irene shook her head. "No.""A fellow judge, then?" He continued—he was one of the judges as well. Like most male dancers, he was slim and exceedingly well-groomed, with his hair combed meticulously. The getup did not seem to make him shady, however, thanks to his sunny disposition.Irene was just about to answer when she spotted Robin nearby, and quickly pretended to look guilty as she whispered, "I'm a judge, but I’m actually acting as a stand-in.""Oh! I was just wondering that I've not seen you before, since I've been judging most competitions and met most of the other judges. You're not exactly a familiar face.'Irene hung her head low. "Actually, this is my first time, so I don't know much about anything.""It's fine
