You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 116

Irene returned home directly after leaving the hotel. On her way home, she realized that she had made a mistake. How was she supposed to explain her relationship with Edric to Wilson?

The next day, when she went to the company, her thoughts were all over the place. She was afraid that Wilson would ask about her relationship with Edric, but it turned out to be completely different from her expectations. Wilson's attitude towards her was the same as

usual. He didn't seem to be interested in gossiping about her and Edric at all.

Irene breathed a sigh of relief. She was secretly glad that she had met a good manager. What she didn't know, however, was that he wasn't uninterested. Rather, he was too afraid to ask. The previous night, after she was taken away by Edric, John had a few words with him. In a brutish manner, John had instructed Wilson to treat Irene well, and that if he ran into any problems, John would be happy to help.

What luck! With John's help, Wilson could easily excel in his career. He was no fool; money made the world go round after all. To h*ll with gossip!

At lunch, Irene received a call from Rowane. That was when she realized that the emerald pendant she usually wore around her neck had disappeared. Her mind flashed back to when that beast, Edric, was tearing her clothes off in the bathroom. That must have been when it fell off. The emerald pendant was left to Irene by Myra; luckily, Rowane had found it.

Irene went to the cafe next to her office to meet Rowane. Rowane took out the pendant and handed it to Irene. Irene thanked her, taking it. She was about to stash it away into her bag when Rowane suddenly prompted her, "Miss Nelson, don't you want to check it first?" "What would I be checking it for?" Irene was taken aback.

"Aren't you afraid I'll rip you off?" Rowane asked, half-jokingly.

"You must be kidding me. I've always known you as a person with integrity, Miss Wood," Irene responded.

Rowane asked again, "That emerald pendant looks very expensive. It must be very valuable. Was it inherited from your family?"

Irene smiled. "It's not worth that much, but it's very valuable to me. After all, my mother left it to me. I can't thank you enough, Miss Wood."

Rowane felt a twinge of excitement by Irene's reply. "Your mother is from San Fetillo, isn't she?"

"Yes, she was born and bred in San Fetillo!" Irene answered.
