The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 1053

"Just tell me," Irene said—she did not have to worry about money with a backer like Isaac.

She was just concerned that Eagle's idea might not be reliable, and Lulu was very weak at the moment—there must be no slip-ups.

"There's this female colleague of mine who is strong and shows a strong sense of duty," Eagle explained. "However, hiring her is expensive, though I could ask her over if you're willing to keep an eye on Ms. Adams. She might not be meticulous as a care worker since her expertise is combat, so you can hire a care worker in addition to her so Ms. Adams would have both care and protection. What do you think?"

"Let me think about it," Irene replied.

Money was not a problem—the problem was that she did not know a thing about the woman Eagle was talking about, making her no different from a stranger.

On the other hand, it might be ideal if she had Eagle stayed instead and hired an additional care worker as he suggested.

"It's late, you should get some sleep. There's no danger here anyway," she then told Eagle.

"Yes, ma'am," Eagle replied and left the room.

Irene then checked the time and decided Isaac would still be awake at the moment.

She walked up to the window and called him, and he picked up soon enough.

"Still awake?" she asked.

Isaac's voice was a little hoarse. "I'm at the office."

"Are you busy?"

"Yeah."

Irene had more to say but decided that he sounded busy, so she said, "Always remember to get some rest."

"When are you coming home?"

"Soon," she replied, refraining from giving anything specific to surprise him.

Isaac was silent for a while, so Irene asked, "Do you miss me?"

"Yeah," he replied, before being silent for a while. "I'd miss you aside from while I'm working."

"I doubt it." Irene smiled, leaning against the window. "You can't miss me while you're asleep."

She meant a person could not think while they were asleep, so how could he miss her?

"You're being unreasonable now." Isaac sighed feebly. "How are things on your end?"

"This is going to take a while. Anyway, I was calling to ask if there are more reliable people at the company where you hired Eagle."

Honestly, that man…

Whatever. She still had issues to resolve over here.

However, she kept tossing and turning in bed but was unable to fall asleep.

Her phone was still in her hand, and she really wanted to call Isaac to ask if he was angry.

Why else would he suddenly hang up?

However, she had tapped into his contact details, but her fingers hovered over it for a long while in hesitation… and she never pressed to call.

She sighed, and decided to give up and sleep instead, sliding her phone beneath her pillow.

She would just have to properly sweet talk him once they met.

Meanwhile, Isaac was staring at his phone in turn.

He wondered if Irene felt his anger.

If that was the case, should she not be calling him again now?
