The Runaway Groom のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 721 - チャプター 730

Irene actually had an idea, but she just wanted Dennis to prove it."Tobey Kitsch, the former deputy director," Dennis said.Irene glowered—she was not surprised, but she was unhappy about it too.As she took a seat on the couch, Dennis asked, "Have you decided what to do about this?""You've been here for a while and you know the people here," Irene countered. "What do you think?"Dennis took the single-seat couch then, musing his words before saying, "It's not Finn Cook's fault. The boy is naive, and he's only sharp when it comes to academics. He made it here because he was the top of his class, and his score was much higher than the second-placer. Tobey instructed him after he arrived, though Tobey was still a head of department at the time, not deputy director.""He's from the sticks, but he got a state scholarship, so he's the type who's studious but not good with people. He's only being terrible partly because he was used, and because Tobey used to take good care of him. Yo

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 t

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

Irene did a double take. "W-What are you doing here?"Ricky was glaring at her. "Did you know that Lulu left?""I was just looking for you—""Did you know?!" Ricky was planning to have dinner with Lulu and went to her house to look for her, only to find that she was gone, along with all her belongings.She did not leave any message either, and Ricky remembered that she had been behaving strangely because she regained her memory.In that case, she most definitely would go to Irene!"Calm down first," Irene told him."Calm down? How?! I'm losing my mind looking for her!"Ricky had looked everywhere he could, and only came to Irene after he ran out of places to look."Why can't you? Lulu's not going to fall for you when you're bristling like a kid. Come to me again when you calmed down enough and can talk normally!"With that, Irene started to stride off, and Ricky panickily caught her sleeve. "Irene…"Irene held his gaze. "I'm serious. If you can't calm down and listen, I wo

Ricky was lying on the road and bleeding profusely from his forehead. The driver stood nearby, repeating in panic, "I didn't run into him, I didn't… He hit my car…""Just help me already!" Irene snapped—she could not move Ricky by herself.Moreover, he was at risk after having recently undergone a heart transplant, leaving his body weaker than most. She must get Ricky checked, and had no time for the blame game.The driver quickly went up and carried Ricky to Irene's car, but although the chauffeur floored the gas pedal, it was not until half an hour later that they reached a hospital.Although Irene did not work there, she had a medical license and was given permission to stay while a doctor examined Ricky.Fortunately, he was fine—just unconscious from a concussion. They cleaned the cut on his head and kept him for observation, and he would be allowed to leave if he did not feel unwell over the next 24 hours.As Irene stepped outside, she saw that the driver had come as wel
