The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 823

Lulu told Martin very softly, "It's Johnny."

Johnny was one of their colleagues and gossip would be inevitable if they were caught as newlyweds coming out to get another new bed when they already got one for their wedding!

How could it not be weird? Johnny and the rest would certainly start gossiping or asking questions directly.

How would Martin and Lulu answer them when that happened?

Even if Martin was usually sharp and stern at his job, he was rather bumbling when it came to his own personal matters.

Nodding repeatedly then, they moved to hide behind a nearby wardrobe.

They waited a long while and only left when Johnny did.

With that, they continued to look for a bed and made an order.

However, when they were going to leave, someone called out, "Cap?"

Lulu was speechless.

They were seen despite all their effort, huh?

Martin then asked her, "Should I turn around?"

Lulu was even more speechless.

Everyone in the team knew him, and he would be recognized straight away if he did!

He was usually so sharp at work—when did he get so stupid?

Still, he soon said, "Getting spotted is bad, you said? I'll just pretend not to hear him. Let's go!"

He pulled Lulu along.

In reality, he had every reason to respond to Johnny. An excuse such as getting new furniture was acceptable, since they had already ordered a bed and they were nowhere near that department.

What a mess!

As they left the furniture store, Johnny seemed to be following them out.

Martin said quietly, "Let's not go to the car. Let him leave first."

Lulu nodded and they headed in the opposite direction from their car.

Johnny actually thought that he really did see Martin, but decided the man was not since he was not even turning around.

With that, he left.

Noticing that he was gone, Martin heaved a quiet sigh of relief.

Lulu watched his silly reaction and could not help giggling.
