The Runaway Groom Chapter 802

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 good, huh?”

Isaac ignored him and strode off then.

Still, he paused at the doorway, and since he wanted Zachary to give up instead of obsessing over finding Lulu, he

said, “I heard Irene saying that Lulu chose to start over. Give up already.”

With that, he started to head outside, but stopped in his tracks again when Zachary caught up.

“What is that supposed to mean?”

“Sleep on it,” Isaac replied flatly, and then warned, “And don’t be so casual with Irene.”

Zachary was speechless, but since Isaac might get a little upset if he did not play along easily, he decided to mess

with him.

Surely he could not let Isaac off so easily!

“We’ve always been like this for a while. It’s not going to be that easy to change a habit. I’ll try to change, but it

might take some time”

With those words, Zachary left Isaac behind as he strode off with a huge strut in his gait.

While Isaac was left speechless and staring at Zachary’s back, he wanted nothing less than to kick him so hard he’d

fall flat on his face, with his rump in the air!

…

As soon as Irene returned to Hotmesh Research, Finn informed her that someone was asking to see her.

“Who is it?”

“I don’t know. I asked him to wait for you in the conference room.”

Irene started to head there while giving him some instructions on his work, and Finn soon left, while Irene entered

the conference alone.

Opening the door and seeing that it was Mark Wickers, she entered and asked, “You’re here already?”

“Of course. I’ve done what you asked,” Mark smiled.

Irene was certainly surprised. “That’s quick.”

“Well, New Sun Pharma is in the same business and a rival, so getting dirt on them is really easy.”

Irene sat down and held out her hand. “Where is it?”

Mark did not give it to her right away, but instead asked her what she wanted it for.

“Why would you want to upset New Sun Pharma out of the blue?”

Irene did not hide it from him or treat him like a stranger. “I had no choice—I got the photos, but I’m still worried

that they would resort to other dirty moves and harass Professor Lowe.”

“Let me help you with this,” Mark offered.

Though Irene was grateful, she did not want to trouble him further. “Getting dirt on them is already too much

trouble. I can’t let you get dragged into this because of me.”

However, Mark had clearly made up his mind and was brimming with confidence. “Oh, they’re my rivals and they

tried to backstab me before. They’d know it’s me if their dirty laundry was exposed, but they won’t do much since

it’s just payback from me. On the other hand, if they realize that it was you, and that you’re trying to poach

Professor Lowe from them, they’d come for you like a pack of wild dogs—it’s really better to just leave this to me.”

“Thank you,” Irene said.

“Oh, it’s fine. I know you work for the sake of advancing our medical field and contributing, and we can all imagine

what it’s like if New Sun Pharma gets their hands on it instead. That’s why I’m not just helping you—please don’t

feel burdened.”

With that, Mark rose to his feet. “I shall head back to prepare now.”

Irene said, “They’re still bugging Professor Lowe to sign an agreement…”

“It’s fine to show your hand. Leave the rest to me,” Mark said confidently.
