Chapter 667
Irene felt spirited right then. Could it be a phone call from Isaac?
’Hello?"
However, it turned out to be Sheryl. "Irene, did you leave in the middle of the night?"
’Yeah," Irene murmured quietly, doing her best to hide her disappointment.
"Why'd you have to leave? How could you still be so unruly? Don't you understand the state you’re in?" Sheryl rebuked her right then.
Irene smiled and tried to assure her mother, saying, "I know. It won't happen again."
'You always say that, but you never actually do it."
It was not as if Sheryl wanted to scold her, but Irene really did make her worry all the time.
Irene naturally had to change the subject. "Mom, did something happen? Was that why you called me?"
"Yeah. Will you be home soon?"
’Yeah."
'Well, you will find out when you get home."
"Okay," Irene replied, and hung up.
Holding her phone and hesitating for a moment, she called Isaac's number again.
Meanwhile, in Franconia...
Remy's headquarters was grander than the office buildings in Zidonia.
Though the CEO's office here was furnished in Franconian style, it still had a staid air to it.
Isaac had actually come because he was upset at Irene and he needed time to calm himself.
He actually had work to do here, too-stacks of documents and folders were sitting on his huge desk.
Stan Hill stood nearby, grumbling, "James Cross doesn't want to come back at all, huh?"
As he spoke, he was watching Isaac as well-the man had transferred him here, but did not transfer him back at all.
Still, Isaac saw through him the instant he spoke and gave him a cool look. "James is much more reliable than you are. You should stay here instead!'
Bzzt-
While Stan was left speechless, Isaac's phone started to buzz on his desk.
