The Runaway Groom Chapter 888
Irene smiled. “Thank you.”
She was grateful that the patient’s parents would offer such blessings.
Living long could be a double-edged sword, but she really hoped that she and Isaac could stay
together for that long.
Still, Finn could tell that Irene was not used to this. He told the patient’s parents, “Well, you’ve met her
now. We should go if there’s nothing else.”
“Of course, of course,” the couple replied, and the father did not forget to tell Irene before they left,
“You’re the best doctor I’ve ever met.”
The best doctor?
Irene was actually emotional from that, and felt for an instant that it was all worth it.
Still, she was left staring at the scroll in her hand as they headed off into the distance. She asked Isaac,
“What do I do with this?”
“Hang it up, of course,” Isaac replied. “It’s a token of honor.”
Irene looked up into his eyes. “You’re not mocking me, are you?”
“Of course not,” he said, putting a hand around her shoulder. “I’m proud of you.”
“Really?” Irene never knew he took pride in her career.
Isaac frowned. “Are you doubting me?”
Irene was speechless. Could she say yes?
She certainly did not dare to say it!
“No, of course not,” she said.
“Alright, let’s go in already!”
“But what about this?” Irene asked. “Do I leave it in the car?”
As she spoke, she turned to open the car door, but Isaac stopped her. “Hold on to it.”
“For what?” she asked, puzzled.
“Hang it in my office since you have no ce to put it.” Isaac grinned.
Irene was speechless again. It would stick out like a sore thumb against the decor of his office!
It would be hrious if he hung it there!
Certainly not wanting that, she quickly put it in the car—there was no telling what Twinrise employees
would think if they saw it!
However, she just did not know that Tina, the front desk receptionist, saw what was happening outside,
took a photo, and sent it to her colleagues’ chat group.
Everyone there was a Twinrise employee, and they were left guessing what Irene’s job was after
seeing it.
Someone even typed: [Could it be just for show? Is Mr. Jefferson being tricked? What even is her job,
where someone would give her a scroll outside our office? Isn’t that just weird?]
Tina, however, was convinced that Irene was nice, especially because she was given a raise for
helping Irene.
Tina argued: [You’re just jealous. They are thanking her, meaning she did something good.]
[I mean, it’s either to brag or just to make herself look good in front of Mr. Jefferson.]
[True. Isn’t it weird giving it to her here at our office? She doesn’t even work here.]
[Yeah…]
The others seemed to agree with that, leaving Tina flustered. [Why are you people like this?!]
She sent the video in hopes that others would see the good side of Irene, only for their spection to
go astray.
[It’s not like we want to think badly of her, but rumor has it that she was so clingy to Mr. Jefferson the
last time she visited. You can also see how pretty she looks—she’s definitely the type who can bewitch
men.]
Tina was speechless. [This is getting ridiculous!]
[Well, Mrs. Jefferson is beautiful. Maybe that’s why Mr. Jefferson likes her, so cut it out, people.]
[She does look like a subus…]
Tina could not stand that remark, and she snapped: [Subus?! You’re just jealous, aren’t you?]
[Hey, that’s nder.]
Having had enough, Tina tried to delete the video, but realized that it was saved since it had already
passed the time limit.
She huffed angrily. [Alright, that’s enough.]
[You posted it, didn’t you?]
[I just wanted everyone to see that she’s really nice!]
[Or maybe you just wanted to fawn over her? Everyone knows you were even given a raise for that
before. A receptionist, getting paid as much as us regr desk jockeys…]
As thements in the chat group erupted into pandemonium and all sorts of inappropriate remarks
about women were spewed, Tina angrily left the group.
Irene, however, waspletely oblivious and leaning on Isaac intimately, not knowing that doing that
would make her look just like the seducer theybeled her.
Somehow, being beautiful was a crime!

Even so, thepany’s employees greeted her warmly wherever she went, not letting what they typed
in the chat group show at all.
They were certainly shrewd.

Entering Isaac’s officeter, Irene asked, “Am I supposed to just sit here and do nothing while you
work?”
Isaac looked up as he took off his suit. “Make me a coffee.”
Irene took it and said, “Fine.”
She put it at the jacket rack and went to make a coffee, though she opened the door to find Tina
standing at the doorway, catching her by surprise!
