The Runaway Groom Chapter 882
Why did Finn have to tell her at the research center?
Still, entering the building just then, Irene called out, “Finn?”
He usually would be scuttering toward her whenever he saw her before, but he was nowhere to be
seen today.
Or maybe he was not around?
But he sounded like he was already there when he called her just now.
“Finn—”
Before she finished, there was a pop just then, and confetti shot into the air.
Then, a group of her colleagues streamed into the lobby, encircling her as the colorful confetti and party
poppers floated down over her,nding on her hair and shoulders.
She was left staring nkly—what was going on here?
Finn suddenly appeared out of nowhere, eximing, “Congrattions!”
Irene appeared dumbstruck. “For what?”
“The patient with the artificial heart woke up and is perfectly healthy, showing no signs of difort,
organ rejection, or other conditions.”
Irene was actually surprised. “He woke up already?”
She smiled as Finn nodded.
“There’s more good news,” he then said.
Still, Irene quickly guessed it this time. “The medical board approved it?”
Finn nodded, and Irene was jubnt.
It was certainly worth celebrating!
“Anyway, we’re going out to celebrate tonight. You haven’t bought us dinner ever since you became
director. How does tonight sound?”
“Alright.” Irene smiled. “Everything is on me tonight, but I’m not going.”
“Why not?” Finn asked. “It would be pointless without you! You’re the main event.”
“I have things to do at home,” Irene excused herself. “I can’t leave…”
Someone joked just then, “Who doesn’t know that Director Spencer has a rich husband? What’s the
agenda for tonight?”
“Wait, maybe she’s still upset that we harassed her when she first joined?”
“No.” Irene smiled. “It really isn’t that.”
Finn leaned in to whisper, “Aren’t you resigning? Shouldn’t you tell everyone your thoughts in the end?
We’ve been working together for so long, or do you not care about us at all?”
Irene looked at everyone’s eager gazes, the rejection she had in mind stuck in her throat.
“Come on, just say yes.” Finn joined in with the rest. “We’ll have a project if you stay.”
Irene, however, had made up her mind—she was definitely resigning, and Tommy’s tantrum today only
made her even more determined.
And she would not cave.
“Alright!” She agreed to it, thinking this would be a chance to tell everyone that she was leaving. “You’re
reserving the ce, Finn!”
“Okay,” Finn said.
“Make sure it’s a nice ce. Director Spencer can afford it,” someone said.
“Got it,” Finn replied.
Irene began, “I’m not that rich…”
“No, but your husband is.”
Irene was speechless.
She could not argue since everyone else knew.

Irene smiled helplessly and headed for her office, where she took out her phone to call Isaac.
He soon answered, and she quickly said, “I’m not going home tonight.”
They would have to dy their ns to watch a movie together with Tommy.
“Okay,” Isaac said quietly on the other end without asking her why.
Irene naturally did not exin—she would do it once she was done over here, so that she could
surprise him!

Later in the evening, they arrived at the ce Finn booked—a private room at a fine restaurant serving
local cuisine.
Everyone was especially enthusiastic about serving her tonight, and Irene smiled as she asked, “Could
it be that everyone has found out that I’m leaving? Is that why you’re all celebrating?”
The air in the room turned cold right then!
