You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 81

After Irene went out of the cafe, she received a call from Jordan. He asked, "Where are you?" "I went to see Kinsey," she lied.

"Why didn't you call me and say that? I came all the way here for nothing," Jordan complained.

"Sorry, I left in a hurry, so I forgot," she apologized. Jordan decided to let it pass. "I'm going back to the company. See you later."

After hanging up, Irene got on the taxi. It was rush hour, so there were a lot of cars on the road. Needless to say, she was caught in a traffic jam. Fortunately, her boss was Jordan, so she wasn't afraid of being reprimanded for being late. Thinking of Jordan, a sweet smile appeared on her face.

A familiar voice rang out, "How long are we going to be stuck in this traffic?"

Irene turned her head and looked over. It was Marie.

Marie used to be an attending doctor for her infertility. Hence, Irene had a lot of consultations and appointments with Marie. As she so often appeared in Marie's office, those who went to see Marie thought that she was Marie's daughter. Some of them even remarked that both of them looked alike.

Irene felt uncanny about the fact that she and Marie looked alike too. She and Marie didn't know each other and didn't have any blood relationship. However, they did look similar to each other. To be exact, she saw her mother in Marie.

Due to that reason, Irene naturally felt close to Marie. She firmly believed in Marie's words and had never switched to another doctor.

Didn't Marie work in Alsburg City? Why was she here in San Fetillo?

Marie did not notice Irene. She was grumbling to the man beside her. When Irene looked closely at that man beside her, she was positively shocked. Wasn't that Jordan's father, Malcom? Why would Malcom be out with Marie? Was Marie the woman who made Malcom abandon Jordan and his mother?

It was true that there was such a possibility. Marie still looked charming even though she was at least in her forties. Evidently, she must have been a great beauty when she was younger. Every man would probably fall over her bewitching charm. Irene's affection towards Marie vanished at that moment. She hated mistresses; all of them were despicable.

After returning to the company, Irene saw Jordan talking to David. When they saw her coming in, they stopped talking. David got up and left. Jordan grumbled at her, "If you weren't here in a few minutes, I was planning to go and look for you." "I was caught in a traffic jam," Irene said with a smile.

"Come here, I have something to tell you." Jordan waved his hand. "Joanne has come to San Fetillo. She came yesterday. I'm guessing that she's here for you. If she contacts you, you must remember to tell me."

"It's too late. She's already contacted me," Irene replied.

"Didn't you say that you went to see Kinsey? How dare you lie to me." Jordan raised his eyebrows, about to lose his temper.

"I was scared that you might worry about me." Irene reached out and held Jordan's hand. Her initiative extinguished Jordan's anger. He then turned his hand around to hold Irene's hand much more tightly. "What did she say to you?"

"Do you really want to hear it?" Irene raised her eyebrows and looked at Jordan with a faint smile. "She told me about the love story between you two. She wanted me, the mistress, to quit the game."

"Irene, let me get this straight, we weren't anything like what she had told you. Please firmly believe in that standpoint!" Jordan got a little anxious.

Irene glared at him. Jordan chuckled after pondering
