The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 1098

While the store assistant was away, Erma returned.

Dropping to a crouch and grabbing Lulu's leg, she cried, "Please, lady! I'm begging you—let me keep working for Mr. Slate! I promise not to mess up!"

Many people outside were quickly drawn by the commotion, and upon seeing the plainly-dressed woman crouching on the floor, they were immediately in an uproar!

"What is this, bullying?"

"No way. Carrying a baby?"

"Should we record this and post it online?"

Sensing danger, Lulu promptly lowered her head, glared into Erma's flustered eyes, and cleared her throat. "Look—Mr. Slate will be leaving work soon. I'll call him and talk about your situation, and I won't argue if he agrees to take you back!"

People would misunderstand if they kept tussling and causing a scene!

And as soon as Lulu was finished, Erma briskly rose to her feet, grinning ear-to-ear. "Thank you, lady! Don't worry—as long as Mr. Slate is willing to meet me, I won't bother you ever again!"

Just then, the store assistant returned with the bags of clothes. Seeing that, Erma reached for it smilingly. "I'll carry those for you, lady!"

"Nope!" Lulu snapped and coolly took the bags.

She could not help being paranoid—with the way Erma was hounding her, there was no telling if Erma just wanted her job back or intended something else.

Naturally, Lulu was definitely not letting Erma touch any of Luna's belongings!

As they stepped out of the store, the sun had dimmed considerably.

Lulu started to head back to the apartment, with Erma constantly following her.

Then, just as they were heading into the apartment compound, a voice spoke behind them.
