The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 469

Chapter 469

Having hatched a plan in her head, Erin was feeling buoyed and refrained from bugging James.

Clasping her hands behind her back, she was grinning even as she left.

She found a potential means of breakthrough, so it was not as if the day was wasted.

On the other hand, James was feeling less than happy.

Even as he kept walking, he was looking behind to check that he was not being followed, worried that Erin would latch on to him again.

If she did, it would be a catastrophe!

Later in the evening, James got a call from Irene.

"It's Dr. Tanner. Is the patient free at the moment? I can help him with the treatment now."

"Of course," James replied. "We're at Olston Hotel, Room 909."

"Okay," Irene said and put away her phone.

She stood in front of her mirror, checking her disguise and ensuring that it was flawless before heading over.

At the same time, James headed to Isaac's room to inform him, "Sir, Dr. Tanner will soon arrive for your treatment."

Isaac was sitting on the couch with his laptop on his lap. He just happened to read the last email and casually threw it aside, leaning back and rubbing the bridge of his nose, appearing quite tired.

Since he left James behind because Erin was latching herself to him, James had no idea how negotiations with the Raideens went.

"Did the talks go well?’ he asked.

"More or less," Isaac replied flatly.

Even if they had leverage against the Raideens, they should not threaten them on the outset.

A hard sell would lead to resistance and the outcome might not be ideal for both sides.

They were all businessmen, and they were all in it for the money.

It was therefore just a question of balancing the carrot and the stick­mastering that, and one would earn leverage against anything.

Handshakes and armistices brought greater profits, not burning bridges.

"That's better than I thought." James was naturally surprised.

Isaac gave him a look, and said, 'TH be working with Wes, and the Raideens ' representative agreed that they would join us as a partner."

"Oh?” James gasped in surprise, though he soon understood.
