Their car stopped outside the front entrance of Twinrise Enterprises.
Stan alighted, walking around the car to open the door for Irene.
Arching her back as she got out, she then stood upright before the building.
Even if she was not used to this, she did her best to make herself look imposing.
After all, she understood that if she appeared too weak in Isaac's absence, the company would fall to chaos.
She needed to look strong, even if she had to pretend!
Stan was actually concerned if Irene could keep everyone in line, but she never seemed to be cowed.
It afforded him slight relief.
But this time, Irene was not acting like before—she was solemn throughout, without a hint of a smile.
She had Stan gather the executives, but not in the conference room.
She wanted to speak to them in full view of everyone in the building.
Once everyone was there, Stan headed to Isaac's office to inform Irene. "Mrs. Jefferson…"
He found her sitting behind Isaac's desk, clicking on various pages about company management!
Stan was a little speechless… Was she doing some last-minute studying under these circumstances?
Irene certainly was—she had no experience otherwise.
All she did so far was not faint from taking the stage, but she knew nothing else!
She had to consider enrolling herself in business school when Isaac returned, or she would never understand the nature of his work.
Closing the laptop, she rose to her feet. "Just checking out if there is anything I can use. It's not like I can learn anything on the fly."
"Of course," Stan replied.
