The Runaway Groom
Finn could not and would not understand. “Don’t you understand? This is a very important moment for
Hotmesh Research. Am I hearing things?”
Irene sat behind her desk and said, “You heard me right.”
“Do you remember how everyone disliked you when you first arrived and constantly harassed you?”
Finn huffed angrily. “Everyone now accepts you after so much has happened, seeing your abilities as
they are and acknowledging them, but you’re leaving? I wouldn’t have accepted you if I knew you’d
leave so quickly—I know it’s a difficult job, but everyone has been working hard. Our seniors have even
been working here for over ten years, but they still stick with their positions, while you’re leaving just
because of what happened with the former director? Do you really like this job?!”
Irene lowered her gaze at his barrage of questions.
She certainly wanted to keep working, but she had a family and children.
She would be too selfish if she remained engrossed in her own pursuits, especially when there was so
much to do at home.
Staring at Finn, she asked, “Are you married?”
Finn stared at her blankly and shook his head, unsure as to why she would suddenly ask that question.
“Well, you won’t get it if you’re not, and I can’t explain it either.” Irene smiled. “Even so, I have to thank
you for supporting me and helping me.”
Finn stared at her, speechless for a while. “Can’t you wait until the board’s approval is received before
you leave?”
Irene, however, did not want to wait, so Finn instead asked, “What’s your plan for the patient? Are we
giving him an artificial heart or not? I think you should decide before you leave.”
Irene remained silent and she certainly understood Finn’s intent—she should at least wait until the
artificial heart’s development was announced as a success.
She would at least have a respectful departure that way.
Even so…
Irene closed her eyes.
She was just too tired.
“Or else, I’m not letting you leave,” Finn declared, moving to stand at the doorway.
Irene watched him do so in amusement.
“How could you be so childish?”
“I don’t care.” Finn shrugged nonchalantly.
“Fine, you do it, then!” Irene told him.
Finn gaped. “You’re saying yes?”
“Yes, I am.” Irene nodded.
“You should also consider who will take your place,” Finn said just then. “I’ll now inform the patient of
the good news.”
Irene watched as he celebrated with a smile, but she remained silent.
She had already made up her mind—there were plenty of candidates with experience and the right
attitude.
She had nothing to worry about handing over leadership.
–
Zachary Slate was drunk.
He did not drink in front of Isaac because he wanted to appear calm, so he only started drinking alone
after Isaac left.
He inevitably got drunk and slept the night in his private room.
“Sir?” A waitress woke him gently just then.
Zachary slowly opened his eyes, and frowned when he felt a splitting headache.
“What time is it?” he asked.
“It’s almost 9 AM, sir,” the waitress replied.
Still on his back, Zachary heaved a long sigh as the waitress asked, “Would you like a glass of water,
sir?”
Zachary looked up at her but he shook his head. “It’s fine.”
“Very well. Here’s your check, sir.”
Zachary whipped out his wallet and took a card out. Handing it to her, he said, “There’s no PIN.”
The waitress swiped it as he watched before returning it to him.
Slipping his wallet back in his pocket with the card, Zachary got to his feet, draping his suit over his
shoulders as he left.
The sun was perfect today but he narrowed his eyes, finding it blinding as he looked up.
Still, he smiled.
It was all in the past.
From here on out, Lulu was no longer a part of his life.
He got into his car and drove off… until he was stopped at the traffic light!
