The Runaway Groom Chapter 764
Be Careful Around Henry
Henry Walker sized him up and said, “I’m just going to put this out there first. I will allow you to join my company but only because of our past friendship. You won’t be getting the paycheck like other ordinary employees, for sure. Moreover… If you were to commit any crime…”
“Don’t worry. I won’t.” Tobey said, “I’m very grateful you’re willing to help me, Mr. Walker. Why would I implicate you? I understand that the medical scene in Substate is quite impressive, so I brought my girlfriend here to seek medical attention. I won’t do anything that is against the law.”
At the mention of a girlfriend, Henry looked toward Deirdre and discovered that she had a gentle, beautiful face.
Even though she had a blank stare and was dressed plainly, her mannerisms and facial features were extraordinary.
His jaw dropped, and he almost dropped the cigarette in his mouth to his pants. “Deirdre? You’re Deirdre? We used to go to the same middle school too! Have you forgotten already?”
Someone knocked on the door when Deirdre was getting some ingredients from the fridge to cook one night. She heard Henry’s voice saying, “Open the door quickly, Miss McKinnon!”
Deirdre pretended not to hear, but Tobey’s voice was heard coming from the outside. He could not articulate his words clearly, perhaps due to his drunken state. “Mr. Walker… Just send me to the door… will be fine…”
“How could I do that? You’re the pillar of our company, so I can only set my mind at ease after seeing you enter the house with my own eyes!” Henry knocked on the door in an appreciative employer’s manner. “Miss McKinnon, are you aware? Tobey had one too many drinks. Come and help him to his room quickly.”
