Chapter 724

Irene looked up when she heard the voice and saw him.

His towering figure, and the presence he carried-honed after weathering trials and tribulations, seemed to strike

like a powerful gust as he made his way towards her.

But although Irene felt a moment of security from Isaac's arrival, she soon felt a headache-rumors that she slept

her way to the top were all but proven now.

She took a deep breath and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Isaac remained silent, but he was leveling a sharp look at Yolanda.

On the other hand, Dennis might be upset with Yolanda, but he did not want her fired.

In fact, most of the employees there were quite competent.

Knowing very well that Isaac was far less tender than Irene, he was really worried Isaac would want Yolanda fired!

Smiling apologetically, he said, "Oh, it's just a little misunderstanding-"

"Really?" Isaac's lips curled up as he turned sharply toward Yolanda. "Was that a misunderstanding?"

Utterly dwarfed in presence alone, Yolanda tried to hide behind Dennis, but she put on a brave face although she

was obviously cowed. "She stepped on my foot. I was just talking things out..."

At the same time, Dennis turned toward Irene with a pleading look, hoping she would help Yoanda out—it would just

get worse if this escalated, not to mention that Irene's work would be affected.

Noting the cue from Dennis, Irene locked arms with Isaac and pulled him along. "Come on, let me show you

around."

Isaac lowered his gaze at her. "Don't you need my help?"

Irene shook her head. "Nope."

He still did not budge. "Are you sure you can handle this yourself?"

"I'm going to work here. Why would I stay if I can't? Time to go," she said, pulling him along nonetheless.

Isaac understood that if she could not straighten things out with her colleagues, work would just be more

troublesome later.

He once again became reluctant to let her work.

What was wrong with staying home? Why did she have to toil herself out here?

Meanwhile, Irene did not actually take him on a tour, but instead headed to a quiet place and released his arm.

"Why did you come here?" 1

There was no way he would come here out of the blue.

Isaac stared at his arm after she took hers off, a brief flash of disappointment showing in his eyes.

"Can't I come here if there's nothing in particular?" he asked.

’You can come here anytime," Irene replied.

"Fine. I just came to tell you to be careful about this man called Finn Cook. He works here, doesn't he?"

As Isaac told her why he came, Irene was actually surprised. "You know him?"

Was he omniscient?

"He was the one who called you that one time."

’That was him?" Irene frowned, and soon understood. "He must be out to get me, but got scared when you

answered it instead. That's why he decided to just do it here..."

’He did something to you?" Isaac asked worriedly and began to check her body then. "You're hurt?!"

"I caught on. He failed!" Irene exclaimed.

'Where is he?!" Isaac growled.

He was already furious, only for things to turn out to be worse-there was more than one person out to get her!

If he could not even handle one, he did not deserve to be her man!

Irene naturally knew that he was upset, and she quietly assured him, "It's my problem. Let me handle it."

’You handle it? How?!" Isaac growled, his attitude overbearing. "Do you even know who he is? Why is he out to get

you? Letting him work here is asking for trouble. Deal with him if you want to keep working here, and mercilessly-or

it's never going to end."

’I know all of that, and that he was being used. I was just thinking about howto handle this."

It was Isaac's turn to be surprised. "He's being used? By who?"
