The Runaway Groom Chapter 779
Irene quickly turned toward Isaac, who had released her without her realizing it and stood there, looking all-serious.It was as if she was the one brazenly trying to kiss him.
“Mr.Jefferson.” The employees at the door greeted Isaac just then.
“Yeah,” Isaac replied flatly.
“Come in.” He took Irene’s hand then and stepped outside, not forgetting to introduce her as they went.
“She’s my wife. Greet her properly the next time you see her.”
“Yes, Mr.Jefferson.”
The employees all agreed with one voice and turned toward Irene.
“Hello, Mrs.Jefferson.”
“Hello.”
Irene smiled politely, but she loathed Isaac just then for making her look like a fool.
First impressions were vital, and what were the people in this building going to think of her now? Isaac had completely ruined her image! Once inside Isaac’s office and the door closed behind them, she grabbed Isaac by the collar down to eye-level.
She had no choice since he was too tall—it was the only way to look into his eyes without standing on her toes.
“You wanted that, didn’t you? You wanted to embarrass me in public, Isaac Jefferson!” Isaac arched his back to play along.
“It’s not embarrassing.You just wanted a kiss from your husband, and they just happened to spot you.You’re my legitimate wife and not some secret mistress— what are you worried about?”
“I’m not worried,” Irene growled in utter frustration.
“It’s the impression I’m leaving.” Isaac smiled.
“Did I ruin it for you?”
“You think?!” she snapped indignantly.
“Others would think that I’m just…” Isaac smiled as he pressed, “Just what?”
Irene tapped his chest with a knuckle.
