The Runaway Groom Chapter 298
Irene replied, "When I went with Ricky to court, I saw this woman… Huh, maybe it's nothing." Some people just bear a striking resemblance with others, after all, and she did not want to add to Isaac's troubles since he was very busy at the moment.Nonetheless, Isaac frowned. "What is it? Aren't you going to finish your sentence?""Like I said, it's nothing." Irene laughed. "Anyway, we can put the matter aside after Samantha White's funeral tomorrow."Knock, knock.Irene had barely finished when someone knocked on her door."Come in," she said, and the door only opened at that.It was Stan, and he was carrying a box containing a mess of documents and random items. He put the box on the table before coming to them and said, "They appointed Ian Jefferson as CEO.""Yeah," Isaac grunted in acknowledgement—he was not surprised by the outcome. It was all part of his plan anyway, since Quincy would only let down her guard once he was gone from Light Group.Still, Stan felt indign

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

Irene was not intimidated however, and asked nonchalantly, "Does this have anything to do with your insistence on staying?""I'm not your run-of-the-mill secretary in charge of answering calls, preparing for meetings, and other measly errands. I am always on standby, waiting for any instructions from Mr. Jefferson as well as planning his itinerary. I also have to keep a constant eye on any documents submitted by other departments and appraise them before getting Mr. Jefferson's signature. Since I have many tasks, I would always have to prioritize, but what I do is primarily to pave the way for my boss. If Mr. Jefferson isn't leaving the country, what would I even do there?"Debbie's words were prim and her message clear, and Irene patiently listened and waited until she was finished. "Oh, so you're mainly worried you have nothing to do over there?""Yes, that would be the case if Mr. Jefferson isn't there."Irene nodded and smiled. "What if I offered you a different position?"Deb

Both Debbie and Spencer understood each other tacitly after their conversation!Stan was curious. "How did you convince her anyway?"Irene was not in the mood to answer, however. "Do you really have to gossip so much?"Stan chuckled—he was certainly eager to find out, but her response made it clear that she did not want to tell, so he should not ask.Soon, they returned to the hospital, and Irene headed inside.…"Mom, look at this." Ian, who was now appointed CEO of Light Group, was almost losing his mind after seeing report after report detailing their losses.Quincy was naturally scowling as well. "I know Isaac and what he's capable of. There shouldn't be this much loss…""Did he do this on purpose?" Ian was certainly surprised by the revelation that the seemingly vibrant and dominant exterior of Light Group hid an entity that was already at death's door.Quincy thought about it. "I don't think so—maybe Isaac just wanted to hide it from the board.""That just means he to

Any new leader tends to flex his newfound authority, and Ian was certainly doing that during his first meeting with his key personnel!Every head of department was sitting with clenched buttocks, afraid to make a sound. However, they were just wary of Ian since they were not familiar with him—with Isaac, they were earnestly reverent instead. Still, Ian was confident after his recent promotion."Starting with Finance, everyone will report any noteworthy events as well as department objectives over the last six months," he said proudly and formally from the chairing seat.However, his confidence proved a little excessive, as the Head of Finance rose to his feet and gave a lengthy account of everything the department saw through over the last six months.The long and short of it was that there was no income, only investments. "Here's everything on the projects and investments we oversaw in that timeframe," he said as he handed a thick document folder to Ian, who was scowling now
The Runaway Groom Episode 303
Irene was holding Tommy, and pretended not to see Robin as she went to sit with Mrs. Watson at a quiet spot near the window.Robin, however, remembered how she failed to humiliate Irene last time, and ended up being punished with having to wipe the floor of the sports complex over two days. It made her the laughing stock of her department, and even her colleagues constantly reminded her of it.She very much wanted to resign, but she had also lost her dependency since Ian was not seeing her. As such, she had to keep her job and bear with the contempt.On the other hand, Irene had lost everything, but it somehow still felt like she was mocking Robin.Before Irene knew it, Robin was already standing beside her table, growling, "Don't get so smug, Irene Spencer. You were only lucky once—it won't happen again."Irene was playing with Tommy, and slowly looked up when she heard Robin.Even so, she was exceedingly calm in contrast to Robin's clear irritation. "I don't know if things wi

Isaac asked, "Why her?""She's stupid and easy to manipulate," Stan replied. "She's not chaste anyway, and it spares us from having to choose a new person."Isaac stared at him but stayed silent—Stan took it for a silent approval.In reality, Stan only did that because he had come to understand that Isaac did not care about Kathy at all.From his point of view, there were just two reasons why Isaac had not kicked Kathy to the curb—the first was that she had saved Isaac's life before, and he could not be too harsh on her despite his indifference.The second was that she was still useful to them. Still, that made Stan think—why the difference in treatment between Kathy and Irene? Both of them had saved Isaac's life, and yet one one was treated like a tool, while the other was being pampered to kingdom come. Seeing that certainly left Stan clicking his tongue.Truly, it hurt to see the contrast!"How are things going on over there?" Isaac asked just then, seemingly not interest

Irene smiled. "My baby can say 'mommy' now."'Isaac shot her a look, and instructed their son indignantly. "Say 'daddy.""Mama…""Da…Da.""Mah… Mah…"Isaac looked like he would keep going, and Irene could not bear to look—Tommy was just mouthing some syllables that sounded like 'mommy' and not actually saying it. How would he ever say 'daddy'?Taking Tommy off Isaac's arms, she said, "Time for your milk, baby."With that, she went looking for Mrs. Watson, leaving Isaac alone and speechless.However, the more she was trying to cold-shoulder him, the more he wanted to stay with her.Following her downstairs, he said, "I'll carry Tommy. You can get the milk."Irene quickly said, "Mrs. Watson can do it."Isaac was once again speechless. Did he offend her somehow?Mrs. Watson hid a smile as she watched them, and took Tommy off Irene's arms. "I can feed Tommy. He's going to sleep soon anyway."Irene sighed, and returned inside their room, while Isaac followed and closed the do
