The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 459

Chapter 459

Harvey lifted the employee ID dangling over Irene's chest and read it.

"Jane Tanner? I didn't think that it'd be you," he said in surprise. "I was actually wondering where I should start searching."

He was impressed that he recognized her despite the face mask, too.

As a matter of fact, Harvey had found out that Isaac might invest in the fully artificial heart project and was going to poach a certain doctor from Mead Clinic.

Since Isaac was known not to fail, he wanted to poach the doctor before Isaac could, and then put his own money in the project.

However, he had no experience in the medical field, let alone any contacts he could speak with.

As such, he came here looking like an idiot, and was kept out of the staffs quarters.

Frustrated, he paced around outside when he saw Irene came out, and grabbed her like he was grasping at straws.

"Come with me," he told her as he pulled her along.

Irene was at a loss for words, and simply grabbed the nearest scaffolding.

Harvey had to turn around right then, and when he saw just her eyes and forehead, he blurted out what he was thinking right then. "Irene...?“

He did not mean to say it out loud, but it left Irene terrified.

Panicking, she tried to hide, and Harvey saw the fearful look in her eyes.

Why? What did she have to hide?

"Who on earth are you?” Harvey growled, even as he reached out to pull off her face mask, and was left staring at the scars on her face and neck.

Those scars... those were burn scars, were they not?

And Irene was supposedly killed by an explosion, with her face left utterly unrecognizable...

"You..."

He almost did not want to admit it even as he was left astounded!

Those burn scars...!

"...You survived?"

Irene lowered her head while speaking in Minervese, "You have the wrong person."

She struggled as hard as she could, but that only made Harvey hold on tighter to her, preventing her from freeing herself.

"You were speaking in Zidonian to me before, and now Minervese?" Harvey pointed out as he leveled a piercing gaze at her. "You're definitely afraid, and you wouldn't be if you had nothing to hide."
