The Runaway Groom

Chapter 216

Chapter 217 
Isaac appeared solemn. “What else would I be talking about? I want an answer before this evening
With that, he rose to his feet, pausing for a moment when he remembered something “Send me an email -show me what you have on lan’s sugar baby”
“Yes, sir,” Stan replied
Irene had yet to return when Isaac returned to his office, so he sat down before his desk, turned on his laptop, and checked his email.
After scanning through the dossier Stan sent, he became pensive
It appeared that lan had not had any affairs with other women for six months after meeting his latest sugar baby
This was certainly rare-lan’s relationships lasted a month on average, but somehow he was with this one
for six.
He could actually be in love, but there was no telling for certain
Meanwhile, Irene had returned from her tour, and strode in when she saw Isaac, asking. ‘Is there a way to save Tommy?”
“Calm down,” Isaac said distractedly as he moved the cursor to delete the email, but Irene vaguely saw that it was a dossier on a woman.
“Who is that?” She asked.
Isaac frowned–her eyes were too sharp for her own good ‘A woman
“Who?” Irene pressed when Isaac simply held out a hand to her
Irene stared at his palm. The lines on it were distinct, and after a moment of hesitation, she put hers on his, and he firmly held on it, gently tugging so that she walked around his desk toward him.
Then, pulling her by her waist, he made her sit on his lap
Irene was a little uncomfortable since it was a very compromising position, not to mention that they were in his office. How embarrassing would it be if Debbie or his other employees entered and saw them?
She tried to struggle a little, but Isaac only held on tighter, even leaning in to whisper beside her ear,” Don’t move.”
He then moved the cursor and clicked on the email. “That is lan’s girlfriend.”
Irene turned to look at him. “Are we working on her?”
Isaac shook his head–even if she was special to lan, there was nothing decisive enough to be used against lan.
However, he could still send a woman to approach her and get some information in turn.
“She and lan are close, so I’m just thinking that approaching her might help us find out where they are keeping Tommy for now.”
“I volunteer,” Irene offered.
“No,” Isaac refused right then. “They know you-don’t forget that their family had a hand in getting us married.”
Irene blinked. “But I never met them.”
“Yes, but according to my sources, your father did.”
“My father?” Irene simply presumed that Lionel Spencer had wanted her to marry Isaac for his wealth and connection, and was certainly unaware that lan had a hand in the matter.
In truth, even Isaac had no idea that Lionel had a deal with lan’s family, but Stan looked into the matter and found out that they made contact-even though Lionel had passed away since.
“That doesn’t matter now,” he said as he tightened his embrace on her. “I’m thankful that they brought you
to me.”
Irene flushed-though Isaac’s words were not cringeworthy, she still felt a little embarrassed…
And a little happy, too.
Was he saying that he loved her?
He had said as much before as well…
Shaking her head to clear her mind, she decided that her priority was to save Tommy.
Suddenly feeling inspired, she said, “lan’s family knows me, but not this woman, so I could still approach her. I just have to avoid meeting lan and they won’t realize that I’m there–also, I have to do something because Tommy has been taken from us, right?”
When Isaac did not give a nod, she tugged at his collar, cajoling him, “Please?”
Her voice was hardly coquettish and her tugging almost stiff.
Despite her lack of charm, however, it simply worked on Isaac!
Her willingness to act cute around him was enough.
“Fine.”
And with that, they headed out!
