The Runaway Groom

Chapter 127

As Lionel stepped inside his ward, he told Samantha, “You can leave. I don’t need you here.” NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Samantha quickly tried to appease him. “You can’t be alone, right? I’ll stay.”

However, Lionel had already seen through her and what she wanted.

“You just want my inheritance, don’t you?” he asked, exposing her right then.

“No!” Samantha quickly explained. “I’m fine without it, but you have to take care of Ricky. He has a criminal record, and there’s every chance he won’t get a good career. You have to think of him!”

Lionel was not bothered with her rant, and simply lay down in bed!

Was he that stupid that he would not look after his own son?

Meanwhile, Irene had left quietly, and Ricky followed her out of the building.

“Sis,” he called out to her.

Turning to look at him with an impassive expression, she asked, “What?”

“I heard that you’re the one who got a specialist to help Dad,” Ricky said earnestly, his .hostility toward her before nowhere to be seen. “Thank you.”

“You don’t have to thank me. He’s my father too,” Irene replied, and left.

They had nothing else to talk about anyway.

Back at Light Group’s offices, Isaac released the girl beside him the instant Irene turned around.

Her name was Kathy Young, and she was a secretary that Stan had hired for Isaac!

Naturally, Isaac had another secretary and did not need Kathy-in fact, Kathy was

incompetent and inexperienced, and had nothing going for her aside from a certification from a famous university.

Stan kept her just for her looks, and she was a good choice to make Irene jealous.

“Mr. Jefferson…”

She had felt despondent when Isaac removed his hand.

“Tell Stan Hill to come downstairs,” Isaac coolly told her, and strode away.

Kathy was puzzled – he was being intimate one moment, and icily distant the next. What was he thinking?

Still, she was new here and should not ask too many questions, and did as she was told. When Stan arrived downstairs, he walked up to Isaac’s car. “Yes, Mr. Jefferson?”

“She saw us, but she’s not upset. Does that mean he really doesn’t care about me?” Isaac asked him

Isaac was smart, but tended to fumble when it came to Irene perhaps he was having tunnel vision, or because he was just too impatient to conquer her

It was also why he bought Stan’s advice.

Naturally, he was despondent to see that Irene could smile even when she saw him with Kathy

He was hence irritated and convinced that Stan’s idea was a dud Irene was not jealous at all!

“Are you sure she’s not pretending?” Stan asked

“Just send that woman away,” Isaac snapped, and drove off

Stan was left behind, feeling that Isaac was already giving up on a good plan halfway!

After all, it might not be enough for Irene to see them together once

As he turned around and headed inside the building, he found Kathy waiting

“Did I make a mistake?” she asked softly. “Is Mr Jefferson upset?”

Upset?

Stan wanted to tell her right then that Isaac was suffering a terrible case of unrequited love!

Nonetheless, he suddenly had the idea of sending her to Isaac’s mansion, to cook him his

favorite food, but mostly to get Irene to react.

“Can you cook?” he asked.

Kathy shook her head.

So that was another dud.

“Well, what can you do?” Stan asked.

“Sing and dance,” Kathy replied.

Stan was speechless.

“Mr. Hill, you’re not really hiring me as a secretary, are you?” Kathy asked just then. ” Everything you’ve told me to do isn’t within a secretary’s job description…”

“A secretary’s job is to care for their boss,” Stan retorted. “Walk with me.”

Kathy nodded and followed him, and Stan issued instructions as they walked. “There’s something you need to do, and do well.”

“Of course. Tell me,” Kathy said.
