Chapter 726

Dennis was about to speak when Irene simply turned and left, while Yolanda caught his sleeve.

'You’ve always been nice to Irene, Director. She would definitely listen if you asked."

However, Dennis was smart enough to judge that the best option here was for Irene to handle this herself. Even if

Irene was willing to spare Yolanda, Yolanda must first be direct with her.

"Do it yourself-you're not a child. Why can't you let go of your pride?"

With those words, Dennis strode off.

Yolanda was going to have to think through this herself, and anything anyone else would say was pointless.

With that, Yolanda was left sitting on the stone bench with a major headache.

It was not as if she did not know how to weigh a situation, and she certainly understood that her job was more

important.

She just could not put aside her pride.

Moreover, she was the one who messed with Irene first, and with Irene being so much younger than she was,

Yolanda knows that once she apologized, she would never get to pull rank with Irene.

She certainly would lack stature in her presence after that.

Later, Irene went to meet Dennis again to talk about Finn. "I want him to help me."

"W-Wait. That's your decision?’ Dennis was at once surprised and confused. 'You're allowing someone who tried to

hurt you to be close to you? What are you thinking?"

'I would like to observe him."

"And...?"

"If he's naive but kind as you have said, I won't pursue the issue any further. As long as he's going to do his job

properly and contribute to our research efforts, I'll consider that he has made up for his mistake."

Dennis sighed lengthily at that, his furrowed brow easing.

He had been worried that Irene would mete out serious punishment to Finn, and he was surprised despite himself.

He naturally felt that he made the right choice-lrene was young, but she was considerate in her actions.

She certainly made the right choice with Finn, and her magnanimity was a quality all superiors should have.

"Alright, I’ll talk to him right now."

’Of course."

Even after Irene returned to work, Yolanda never came to her to apologize.

In fact, she was nowhere to be seen-one might even be forgiven if they thought she was hiding from Irene already.

Irene thought nothing of it too and focused at work, leaving when it was time to do so.

She was not working overtime for the day since she had to go home and talk to Isaac and explain that she was

rejecting his help not just because, but due to the differences between their work environment.

However, after getting changed and heading to the front entrance, she saw Moneypenny jogging toward her.

He was panting-even if he was not sick, he was still showing his age.

"Madam Irene," he greeted her respectfully.

Still, Irene did not wait for him to tell her why he was there, and she quickly said, "I told you-don't come looking for

me ever again. I'm not going to see him."

"Master Jefferson understands that, which was why he came instead," Moneypenny told her. "He's waiting for you

outside."

Irene frowned-this was the second time they ambushed here.

How was she supposed to work in peace if they keep doing this every day?

Breathing a deep sigh, she said, "Lead the way!”

She must make it very clear to Henry Jefferson so that he would not come all the time.

As they went, Moneypenny said, "Master Jefferson is in bad shape and shouldn't be out here, but he came anyway,

disregarding his health-’

"That has nothing to do with me." Irene cut him short right then.

She would never buy any appeals to emotion, not to mention that he was Isaac's grandfather, not hers.

Moneypenny opened the door for her when they reached Henry's car, and Irene shot him a look before getting

inside!
