As Irene strode into the elevator, James followed her like he usually did with Isaac.
"Mrs. Jefferson." Some of the employees in the building greeted Irene when she passed them.
Irene would respond with a small nod and a faint smile.
Then, arriving outside Isaac's office, she said a little too loudly, "James, inform everyone that we will be having a meeting soon."
And with that, she headed inside Isaac's office right away.
Having heard that, some of the employees slid up to James, asking, "Mr. Cross? Is Mrs. Jefferson really calling for a meeting? What's going on here?"
"Mr. Jefferson mentioned before that she would start learning management of the company," he replied. "She'll probably announce that at the meeting and properly introduce herself."
"Really?" someone exclaimed softly. "But isn't she the director of Hotmesh Research? I just saw the video of her being interviewed days ago. It had a lot of views."
"She resigned," James said.
"I see!" Someone else came up, butting in. "Such a shame… Everyone was saying Mr. Jefferson married her for her looks, but it turns out that she's already so accomplished despite being so young."
James quickly added, "She spent time studying at Mead Clinic in Minerva."
"Oh, I know that place. It's the world's top medical research center," yet another person added.
People were starting to flock around James and they were all very very interested in Irene, mainly because she was Isaac's domestic partner.
"That's the one," James replied. "Once she returned to Zidonia, she took up the post of director of Hotmesh Research, and led the successful development of an artificial heart. She's a famous heart surgeon as well, but since both her and Mr. Jefferson were too busy at work and could not spend time at home, she decided to resign to take care of their family. However, she's also used to working and cannot calm down, and since Mr. Jefferson is heading to Remy now, he's letting her learn a couple things about company management while she's free."
News of the successful development of the artificial heart was everywhere, and almost everyone at Twinrise Enterprises had seen that video interview.
Irene had certainly been down-to-earth and candid, and judging from her response to the interviewer's questions, she was not one who hogged the spotlight.
She also did not claim all credit, and everyone naturally had a good impression after watching the interview.
