Chapter 801

Irene was hesitant to enter the diner, but Isaac called out from behind just as she was about to turn and leave."Why aren't you going in?"Turning and seeing him, she asked, "What's Zachary doing here?""He's buying us lunch, so it's natural that he's there," Isaac replied, gathering him in his arms. "It's almost one. Aren't you hungry?""I don't want to see him," Irene said.What?"Weren't you good friends?" Isaac said, actually feeling a little weird as he spoke.The fact that she and Zachary Slate had met each other before he met her always nagged at him. It was not jealousy since things were clean between them and lacked any attraction, but he was uncomfortable regardless.He could not explain what was wrong either!Irene rolled her eyes at him just then. "I heard from Lulu. She says she's getting married, and I wouldn't know how to respond if Zachary asked."Isaac said coolly and nonchalantly, "Just pretend you aren't aware."Irene sighed. "Yeah. Guess that's the onl

Isaac leveled a cool look at Zachary that pretty much said 'I knew it'."Shoot!"Zachary sighed again. "I wanted to ask Irene about Lulu, but she seemed wary about me so I didn't ask. Does she know something?""You're imagining things." Isaac told him off immediately. "Weren't you just putting your whole heart into your work lately? That's good, so keep that up."Zachary was speechless, wondering if Isaac could not understand him because he was leading a blissful life with Irene, so anyone else's business was not his. "Fine," Zachary said as he reclined against his chair.Isaac then put down his fork and knife. "Try to be nice if you meet a nice girl. It's not like there's only one woman in this world.""Really?" Zachary was not about to forget how Isaac brooded because of Irene in the past.Isaac stared at Zachary for several heartbeats before snorting. "I'm doing this for your own good. Don't talk about my past if you know what's good for you."Zachary chuckled. "I got you

Chapter 803

Mark got up and left the conference room, and Irene walked with him to the front entrance.She cheered up considerably after her conservation with Mark, and she then told Professor Lowe to contact New Sun Pharma, so that they could talk about the agreement New Sun Pharma wanted to sign with him. "I thought we should wait?" Professor Lowe asked—why the sudden change of plans?Irene said, "Someone will help us resolve the issue, so it went smoother than planned.""Oh… I shall go to them, then? Will you be coming too?" Professor Lowe asked."Actually, I'll pass," she replied—if she went, it would be no different from telling New Sun Pharma that she had a hand in this.Still, worried that Professor Lowe would get hurt if he went alone, she said, "My bodyguard will be going with you. He'll keep you safe.""Alright, thank you very much." Professor Lowe replied. With that, Irene sent Eagle to escort Professor Lowe to New Sun Pharma, while she waited back at Hotmesh Research.…Eag

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

Chapter 805

Irene tried to push the crushing weight on top of her, but she could not make it budge at all. She opened her eyes and immediately picked up the faint scent of alcohol hitting her nose.Frowning, she asked meekly, "Were you drinking?""Just a little," he answered vaguely, nestling his head against her collarbone. "You're heavy…" she murmured as she pushed at him again.Isaac kissed her neck and started to undress her, without forgetting to answer, "Nope."His breathing was soon short and rushed, and Irene forgot herself amid the sounds of his breathing.There was no telling they had been at it, but she was left so tired she did not want to move, while all her limbs were sore.However, Isaac remained vigorous and persisted."I still have work tomorrow… Umph…"He kissed her before she could finish, cutting her off mid-sentence.It was after a long while that she was finally willing to release her, and she lay limply under the blanket, rasping, "Get me my pills."Issac opene

Chapter 806

James called out to Erin. "Hey."It would have been better if he did not, as she quickened her pace when he did.James quickly ran after her and caught her wrist. "Why are you running?"His tone was relaxed and did not convey his frustration.However, Erin did not feel the same.She did not like James's touch because she considered herself filthy. "Let me go!" she snapped, dead serious.James refused. "I came all the way to see you. You'd hurt me if you still hid from me," He kept his tone as mild as possible so that Erin could let go of the past. "How about a movie tonight, seeing that I'm being sincere?"Unmoved, Erin snapped coolly, "Let me go!"James did not and kept smiling. "Whatever you say." Unable to shake him off, Erin was almost hysterical, and leaned down to bite his hand so that he would let go.He did not, even though she could taste blood. In fact, he was looking at her determinedly. "That brings me back."Erin then remembered her scuffle with James soo

Chapter 807

James had an idea of what Mick wanted to say, and so, he spoke first. "I'm convinced that time mends, and that Erin would eventually forget the trauma in the days to come. I don't believe that she'd be hurting forever, and I want to stay with her in the long run. You have nothing to worry about—you can entrust her to me, and I promise to make her happy for the rest of her life."Mick was going to ask James just that, and hence, he switched gears. "She still needs time to calm down. Give her some space.""I just wanted to see her," James said, nodding. "I didn't expect her to react that badly." "She's calm around us, but she can't do it around you," Mick explained. "That means she cares about you—what you think and how you'd feel. That's why she would lose control, so please understand her.""I know." James certainly understood and therefore did not take offense.Mick then asked, "Where are you staying? I have another house, you could—""At Swiz Hotel," James replied. "I took lea

Chapter 808

James's frown eased when he saw that it was Erin, and he soon appeared delighted beyond words. "You came? Missed me, didn't you? Can't bear to let my trip be wasted?"Erin lowered her gaze and immediately saw her bite marks on his hand. Still, the look of heartache lasted briefly in her eyes before she quickly hid it.Her fingers gradually clenching on her handbag strap, she tried to make herself sound as calm as possible. "I want to talk." James stood aside. "Come in first."She did so, and then noticed the food left untouched on the table."You didn't have lunch?"James smiled. "I'm not hungry. Would you like a drink? I'll get it for you."Erin sat down. "I'm not thirsty. Just sit—we need to talk."James was about to reach for a glass but paused.He took a deep breath, having sensed that Erin was here to break up with him.Calming down just then, he walked over and sat opposite her."I'm not breaking up with you."Erin could not help frowning, having been stopped befor

Chapter 809

James looked into Erin's eyes and smiled. "I like it that you're upset."It means that she cared about him, and that she did not want to share his body with other women.Erin lowered her head, her voice unwittingly turning raspy. "You're so annoying."James tenderly reached out with his arms to hold her.This time, she did not push him away, but she grabbed him by the collar instead as she forced back her tears.She was failing, even as she sobbed. "Could you not? Please don't make this difficult for me."Her shoulders were shaking and her tears started to roll, and she leaned against his chest. "I-I don't deserve to be with you…"James held her tightly then and kissed her hair and her cheek before whispering beside her ear, "You gave me your first time to me. I had you in your purest state.""No, I've been defiled…""Shush."James pressed a finger on her lips. "It's in the past, and I've punished the people who hurt you. They'll spend the rest of their lives in jail, and I'v

Chapter 810

James kept grinning in amusement. "Just pulling your leg."Erin rose to her feet right then. "Enjoy your meal."James quickly caught her wrist. "You're really upset, huh? Alright, it's your turn to pull a prank on me.""When did you change so much?" Erin asked, staring at him—she almost could not recognize him.He never behaved like this before! How did he change so drastically in such a short time? "I just wanted to cheer you up," James said, tugging at her so that she sat down. "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Here—take this slice and mess with me."Erin smiled despite herself."No way, that's so childish."James smiled as he watched her smiling face.There were not many others at the cinema when they arrived after James had his lunch, and it was just the two in the entire hall.Still, James put an arm around her shoulder and said, "Come on. Lean on my shoulder."Erin did so, like a delicate little bird.She suddenly said softly, "You never did this before.""Did wh
