The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 778

The Runaway Groom Chapter 778

The front desk receptionist put down the phone and told Irene, “I’m sorry, but Mr.Jefferson refused to see you.Please leave.”

“What?” Irene exclaimed in disbelief.

Isaac refused to see her? Did he do something here that she was not supposed to find out? Whipping out her phone from her bag, she called him directly, but no one answered.

As she frowned, the elevator nearby jingled before the doors opened and a ringtone could be heard.She looked up to find his towering figure striding toward her.

His shirt collar was a little loose, while his straight cut trousers hugged his long legs.He was hardly his usual impeccable appearance in suit and tie.

Irene stared at him then, realizing then that this was how he usually looked while he was at the office, and it somehow made him appear mundane.

The receptionist saw the ringing phone Irene was holding, and then at Irene.She wondered then if she was Isaac’s bride for that wedding, which had to be called off for some reason.

As Isaac strode with a steady pace to Irene, Irene hung up, and the ringtone on his phone stopped right then.

“Weren’t you refusing to see me?” she asked.

“It’s a spot-check, isn’t it?” Isaac chuckled.

“That means I have to receive you personally.” The receptionist was left speechless.

Was that man really their boss, Isaac Jefferson? When did he fawn over women so much? He was always cold to everyone in the office and rarely smiled.

His exchange with Irene certainly broadened her horizon! Irene was actually embarrassed by Isaac’s joke since there were people around.

As she shot him a glare in silence, he simply put an arm on her shoulder and said, “Come on.Let’s go upstairs.”

He then paused and turned to the receptionist, “This is my wife.Just let her upstairs the next time she comes here.”

“Yes, Mr.Jefferson,” she replied, though her eyes were on Irene.

She was certainly in awe that a woman like her tamed Isaac, though her good looks were undeniable.

Irene finally spoke once they got inside the elevator.
