Isaac was quiet for along time.Her parents died early and he went unloved too.
However, he did not go through the disappointment of being unloved while his loved ones were around.
"I know that this is selfish of me..." Sheryl continued.
"I understand."
Isaac was not upset because he had since come around.He and Irene were supposed to be equals.
If he forced her to make sacrifices for his own benefit, that makes them unequal.
She was already devastated after what happened to Erin, and yet he fought with her instead of offering
her comfort.
Sheryl was left puzzled for a moment.
"Are you agreeing to her getting a job?"
"Trying to stop her was my bad," Isaac replied.
Sheryl had more to say, since she really wanted to help her daughter get her right to keep her job.She
was therefore surprised that Isaac was being so agreeable, and she was unsure what to say.
Isaac rose to his feet and started to leave just then.
"I still have work to do."
"Yeah, yeah, you should go."
Sheryl nodded, before adding, "Actually, I..."
Isaac turned around.
"We're family.It's nothing."
While Sheryl was left at a loss for words, Isaac paused and told her, "I'm happy that Irene has you, and
that her blessing is mine too."
He obviously could tell that Sheryl genuinely wanted the best for Irene, and that she was a good
mother.
On the other hand, Shery] was actually left speechless, unable to wrap her head around what just
happened.
Still, she could tell from Isaac's expression that he was not joking around, and could not help smiling.
It was around 4 PM when Irene returned to Zidonia.
She headed straight to Hotmesh Research instead of going home after disembarking, since it had been
two days since she left.
She just assumed the role of director, only to be absent for two days —she was worried that the good
impression she just managed to gain was lost again.
However, Murphy's law seemed to apply, and she was near the front door when she saw Yolanda King
speaking to her colleague.
"Look, I was just being vocal about my support at that meeting because she might harass me if I offend
her."
The other woman raised a brow.
"So it's just empty promises?"
In reality, Irene did manage to persuade Yolanda, but she also had her own motive in mustering her
courage to stand up and showing support for Irene.She was worried that Irene would try to make life
hard for her.
"I'm always open and candid in what I do.
Cloak and dagger isn't my thing, so don't worry—I won't take your words to heart."
Yolanda stiffened when she heard Irene, and she did not dare to look around as Irene strode inside.
Left feeling utterly awkward, Yolanda hesitated for a couple heartbeats before giving chase, and tried to
explain.
"Listen, Director..."
Irene paused then, and leveled her a cool look.
"Just do your job and do well.Don't bother with anything inconsequential.I dislike politics and fence-
sitters, but do what you will."
Yolanda tugged at Irene's sleeve.
"Sorry..."
She genuinely realized her mistake, but Irene quietly pried her hand off.
On the other hand, Finn Crowe genuinely acknowledged her, and he was surprised to see her show up.
"What are you doing here? Work hours are almost over...Wait, you look terrible.Have you been
sleeping well? Did the patient recover? uw Irene shook her head—she did not know, since she had not
been home.She made a quick tour around the building, and she was pleased to see that everyone was
being diligent despite her absence.
"Don't you want to take a break?"
Finn asked in concern.
He used to hate her the most, but now afforded Irene some warmth in this ice-cold place.
Still, she headed to her office for a short nap instead of going home, only to fall completely asleep.
It was 9 PM when she woke up, and she hurried home.
The children went to bed early, while she was haggard and worn out from travel, having not bathed for
a couple of days.
As such, she headed straight to her room to take a bath instead of checking on the children, though
she saw Isaac the instant she opened the door.
His muscular figure was wrapped in a white bathrobe, loosely open at the collar, baring his chiseled
chest.
His black, dank hair dangled between his eyes, making him appear affable.
Their eyes met!
