Chapter 254
Irene’s question left Isaac Jefferson frowning–it seemed to come out of the blue.
Why suddenly mention Debbie? That change in conversation was too quick and too
random.
“She’s just my secretary. Why did you ask that?” Isaac replied, realizing then that he had never
observed Debbie.
Irene’s brow was wrinkled as she remembered what Debbie did with his desk. “I saw her in
your office when I went there…”
There was an edge in her voice, but Isaac thought it was fine since Debbie entered his office from time
to time while he was away. “So? What of it?”
Irene’s lips twitched–was she being paranoid?
But she clearly saw Debbie laying on Isaac’s desk, and what she did was…
Maybe she was imagining it?
But she clearly was not!
Still, Isaac’s permanent scowl turned to a smile. “Are you jealous, Irene? If you feel insecure that I have
a woman working closely with me, I can get a change in personnel.”
Irene blinked. “You think I’m being jealous?”
“Aren’t you?” Isaac chuckled.
While Irene would admit that she was shocked to see what Debbie was doing and cringed at it, she
wasn’t actually jealous. Moreover, she was doing it to herself while Isaac was not
in the office!
“I’m not jealous.”
Isaac pulled her to him and gathered her in his arms. “Really? Hmm?
As he leaned in beside her ear, his dank, warm breath sprayed all over her ear. It tickled, so she shrunk
into her shoulders and gave in. “Fine, I’m jealous, okay?”
Isaac gave her a peck on her cheek and nuzzled her ear. “Well, that’s just proof that you love me.”
His voice was a little quiet, and noticing that, she quickly said, “You hadn’t been eating, have you? I’ll
go cook right now…”
With that, she pushed him away and headed to the kitchen. Mrs. Watson wasn’t here, so no one was
cooking for them.
Irene opened the fridge to find that it was empty.
“Should we go to the mall?” she asked.
Isaac entered and wrapped his arms around her from the back. “We can just eat outside.‘
“Not right now,” she said quietly. “We can do that, but Tommy’s almost weaning. Not having anything in
the fridge is just a little inconvenient.”
Isaac couldn’t say no since their child was concerned. “I’ll go with you.”
Irene suddenly looked up at him, noticing that he hadn’t been busy with work for a while
now.
“Why do I get this feeling that you have a lot of free time lately?”
Isaac simply smiled. “That just means I have more time to spend with you. Isn’t that a good thing?”
Irene smelled a rat, but did not press the issue since he wasn’t going to say anything.
“Yes.” She smiled.
“Good. Now, let’s go.”
They left the house, and told the bodyguards to inform them right away should Tommy wake up.
“Of course.” The bodyguards nodded. Isaac put a hand around Irene’s shoulder as they entered his
car.
“There’s something else,” Irene told Isaac after some thinking. “Ricky poisoned Tommy because
someone abducted his mother from prison. That’s why…”
As she continued, Isaac appeared impassive as he drove, but he was actually listening intently.
“I’m thinking that they must hate the both of us. That’s why they want Tommy dead–but I have a clue
now,” Irene said, summing up what she learned from Miss Lang. “I have a feeling it’s lan.”
“Why him?” Isaac asked.
“Do you remember his girlfriend, Robin Lynd? She wants me to be the judge in a dance. competition. I
don’t think it’s as simple as it looks–there must be a trap, but I also want to find out if it was her and lan
who tried to hurt Tommy.”
“I’ll look into it myself. You don’t have to go,” Isaac said, worried that Irene would get caught in danger.
“I’ll be fine–there’ll be many people at the sports complex. Plus, she’d never do anything in public,”
Irene countered.
When Isaac still disagreed, she wrapped her arms around him and quipped, “If you’re still worried, you
can put on a disguise and keep an eye on me from the darkness. You happen
to be free the next few days, right?”
