Chapter 360
There was no one in the bedroom.
Irene blinked. Could he be in the study?
Quickly closing the door, she hurried to study and opened the door… Only to find Stan, standing in front of the desk and sorting some documents.
Frowning, she asked, “What are you doing here, Stan? Where’s Isaac?”
Mrs. Watson said, “I was going to tell you just then–Mr. Hill came, not Mr. Jefferson.”
Irene’s face fell just then, while Stan appeared to be done and carried a stack of documents out of the study.
Before he left, he offered Irene some kind advice as she stood by the door, “You should contact Mr. Jefferson if you’re not busy, ma’am.”
Ever since Irene refused to leave the country with Isaac the other day, Isaac had been scowling, feeling constantly irritable and checking his phone constantly.
He was certainly unable to put aside his pride to call Irene, and was hoping for her to do it first… But she never did.
Irene was actually left speechless, because she had not exactly been idling.
But it was not as if she did not miss him.
Following Stan out of the mansion, Irene called out, “Stan.”
Stopping in his tracks, Stan asked, “What is it?”
Walking up to him, Irene asked, “Is Isaac abroad for work?”
Stan shook his head. “No.”
“Then what for?” Irene pressed.
Stan hesitated for a moment, but eventually decided against telling her. “It’s something very important to Mr. Jefferson. You should have been there with him…”
“But what is it?” she asked urgently.
“It would be more appropriate for Mr. Jefferson to tell you himself. Sorry, but I have to go now,” Stan said and got into the car.
Irene walked up to him. “How long before he comes back?”
“Not so soon,” Stan replied.
