Chapter 724
Irene looked up when she heard the voice and saw him.
His towering figure, and the presence he carried-honed after weathering trials and tribulations, seemed to strike like a powerful gust as he made his way towards her.
But although Irene felt a moment of security from Isaac's arrival, she soon felt a headache-rumors that she slept her way to the top were all but proven now.
She took a deep breath and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Isaac remained silent, but he was leveling a sharp look at Yolanda.
On the other hand, Dennis might be upset with Yolanda, but he did not want her fired.
In fact, most of the employees there were quite competent.
Knowing very well that Isaac was far less tender than Irene, he was really worried Isaac would want Yolanda fired!
Smiling apologetically, he said, "Oh, it's just a little misunderstanding-"
"Really?" Isaac's lips curled up as he turned sharply toward Yolanda. "Was that a misunderstanding?"
Utterly dwarfed in presence alone, Yolanda tried to hide behind Dennis, but she put on a brave face although she was obviously cowed. "She stepped on my foot. I was just talking things out..."
At the same time, Dennis turned toward Irene with a pleading look, hoping she would help Yoanda out—it would just get worse if this escalated, not to mention that Irene's work would be affected.
Noting the cue from Dennis, Irene locked arms with Isaac and pulled him along. "Come on, let me show you around."
Isaac lowered his gaze at her. "Don't you need my help?"
Irene shook her head. "Nope."
He still did not budge. "Are you sure you can handle this yourself?"
"I'm going to work here. Why would I stay if I can't? Time to go," she said, pulling him along nonetheless.
Isaac understood that if she could not straighten things out with her colleagues, work would just be more troublesome later.
He once again became reluctant to let her work.
