The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 803

Mark got up and left the conference room, and Irene walked with him to the front entrance.

She cheered up considerably after her conservation with Mark, and she then told Professor Lowe to contact New Sun Pharma, so that they could talk about the agreement New Sun Pharma wanted to sign with him.

"I thought we should wait?" Professor Lowe asked—why the sudden change of plans?

Irene said, "Someone will help us resolve the issue, so it went smoother than planned."

"Oh… I shall go to them, then? Will you be coming too?" Professor Lowe asked.

"Actually, I'll pass," she replied—if she went, it would be no different from telling New Sun Pharma that she had a hand in this.

Still, worried that Professor Lowe would get hurt if he went alone, she said, "My bodyguard will be going with you. He'll keep you safe."

"Alright, thank you very much." Professor Lowe replied.

With that, Irene sent Eagle to escort Professor Lowe to New Sun Pharma, while she waited back at Hotmesh Research.

…

Eagle returned with Professor Lowe at seven, and Irene asked, "How did it go?"

"It went smoothly…" Professor Lowe replied. "Though I must admit I was scared for a moment."

"What?"

"Oh, you have no idea," Professor Lowe said as he sat down. "The instant they heard that I was rejecting them and not to sign their agreement, their expressions darkened and they were all at my throat. I just gave it to them straight like you said, and told them I didn't fear them. They asked if I'd stolen the photos, so I said I did, and that they were the ones who messed with me first and I was just maintaining my personal rights. They tried to get physical right then, but they didn't reach me thanks to Eagle… that was when their boss got a call that they had internal issues and someone ratted them out, with the police getting involved. That meant they didn't have time for me, so they allowed me to leave without issue… But honestly, that was close."

Irene smiled. "As long as you're safe."

"Were you the one who sent the police on them?" Professor Lowe asked.

Irene did not tell him the truth. "It might be someone they offended before."

Professor Lowe nodded, not appearing skeptical at all. "True. They're so despicable they would definitely have made other enemies."
