The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 889

Tina was looking at Irene apologetically, "Mrs. Jefferson…"

Irene asked, "Were you looking for me?"

Tina nodded.

"Well, just come in…"

Tina quickly shook her head, and seeing that she had her concerns, Irene asked, "Is there somewhere quiet?"

She was not that familiar with this place, after all.

"The stairs are usually quiet," Tina suggested, and Irene followed her there.

After closing the doors behind them, Tina said, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Jefferson. I messed up."

"You should tell the person in charge if you messed up at work," Irene told Tina. "Not me. I won't meddle in this company's affairs."

Tina shook her head. "It's not about work."

"Then what is it?" Irene asked.

"I took a video of you receiving that scroll outside," Tina explained. "But when I sent it to the chat group among colleagues, they all said that it was just for show. I felt like I messed up, so I came to apologize."

Irene appeared speechless for a moment, though she quickly got over it.

Still, she soon understood and asked, "What did they say?"

Tina quickly threw her hands up. "N-Nothing."

"No way," Irene said. "They must have said something else, right?"

Tina hung her head, while Irene leaned against the wall and continued, "I rarely come here, so I would understand that people would talk about me."

Tina looked up right then. "You knew?"

"Yeah. I guess they must be talking about what Mrs. Jefferson is like, and why she managed to marry Mr. Jefferson?"

Tina stayed silent, but she might have admitted it.

Irene certainly understood why people would talk.

If she was someone of equal wealth and influence, she and Isaac would have held a grand wedding when they got married, and people would not speculate so much.
