Chapter 460
Harvey swore under his breath. There was really no escaping Isaac!
Hurrying to Irene's side to block her from view, he whispered to her, "That man is one of Isaac's people. He's here to poach talents from Mead Clinic."
Irene turned to find Mark standing nearby.
At the same time, Jeff called out to Irene. "Jane? Mr. Wickers is quite sincere in his offer. Why don't we sit down together?"
Harvey was left gaping in shock right then.
The person Isaac was trying to poach... was Irene?
What the hell?!
Still, Irene simply told Jeff, "Like I've said, I won't agree to it or even think about it."
With that, she pulled Harvey along.
Jeff naturally could not do anything about it, since he could not force Irene in this matter.
Turning to Mark, he said, "I've told her about your proposal, but she refused. IV
Mark was left feeling disappointed, but as he turned toward Jeff, his eyes lit up again. "Actually, I think you would work too..."
"Nope," Jeff quickly waved him off. "I can't do it."
"But..."
'No 'buts'!" Jeff refused him resolutely, leaving Mark despondent.
Meanwhile, as Irene dragged Harvey along and left, Harvey stared at her for a while and asked, "Did you really manage to master Minervese so fluently in six months?"
He was left astounded just listening to her!
"I've already learned it earlier," Irene answered casually.
Harvey was left speechless. "Alright, then what other languages have you learned?"
"Franconian, Eiseng, Mariachi," Irene replied.
Harvey was actually stunned. "That many?"
"I had to," Irene explained.
"You had to? What?" Harvey was perplexed.
Remembering why Lionel Spencer had forced her to learn those foreign languages left Irene remembering Isaac, and her voice became quiet. "So that I would be more appealing to a certain man."
Harvey was speechless again. "...Who?"
Irene did not answer as she pulled him along to a diner, but Harvey kept pressing, "Wait, don't tell me it's Isaac?"
Irene gave him a look, and Harvey knew right then that the answer was a yes.
