Chapter 506
It was a worker, who appeared sloppy as he carried a stack of documents and stood outside the door.
Irene's speech was cut short because of his sudden intrusion. Knowing the abruptness of his arrival, he quickly lowered
his head and walked along the wall.
He was here to deliver documents and had to use his elbow to keep the doors open as he entered, since he was holding
the stack of paper in his arms. He just did not expect the doors to swing open so abruptly and loudly, leaving him at a
loss.
Still, the distraction was soon over, and Irene remained unaffected as she finished her speech.
Isaac had been sitting at an inconspicuous corner, his gaze bypassing countless others to stay fixed on Irene.
She seemed to sparkle when she spoke about her expertise, her confidence making her glow bewitchingly.
He did not even realize that he was smiling faintly, but he certainly admired her at that very moment.
She was no naive, ignorant child, and he could feel the passion in her speech.
And he admired her for that.
The forum was split over two days, and as they were done for the day, Irene slowly left the hall, with a hand clutching her

That was when Mark suddenly appeared before her, giving her a thumbs up. "I didn't think you were one of the
researchers. Your speech left me speechless."
He did not expect Irene to have developed so well in the field, and while he did not know most of the jargon, he was
absorbed nonetheless.
"I didn't know that you were working at Mead Clinic. Actually, I've been there myself and was trying to poach a
talented young doctor but failed...
That said, are you interested in returning?"
Mark was already scheming again, intent on getting his previously unfinished business done-but Irene had no
intention of returning soon.
'Why not? But we are lacking talents like yours, y'know? If you're avoiding-’
'Mark Wickers," an icy voice called out just then, cutting Mark short.
They both turned to find Isaac striding toward them, growling, "Do you know who she is?’
Mark nodded. "Yes..."
'So why are you bothering her?" Isaac was exceedingly annoyed-lrene was pregnant and the forum lasted the
entire morning.
There was no doubt that she was tired, but he was still bugging her with his nonsense!
Mark actually smacked himself on the forehead for forgetting it.
Irene was Isaac's lover, and clearly had no need for money!
In fact, he should be addressing her as 'ma'am' since Isaac had invested in his company!
There was little wonder why Isaac was so upset!
Smiling gingerly, Mark said, "Sorry, my bad."
Irene actually knew that Mark had been to Minerva and the reason behind the visit. She assured him, "Don't worry-
our country’s medical technology would never fall behind."
'Really? Do you know something that we don't?" Mark quickly pressed.
Irene looked around to ensure that there was no one eavesdropping, before saying, "Isaac is now a shareholder of
Mead Clinic."
Mark's eyes widened.
While he was obsessing over poaching talents, Isaac had outclassed him by directly taking a piece of the pie and
becoming a shareholder.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe could not be more impressed-it only made sense that the man always succeeded.
"Let's go," Isaac told Irene, putting a hand around her shoulder and asking, ’ I guess you're hungry now? What do you
want for lunch?"
Irene was certainly hungry. "Curry..."
Isaac narrowed his eyes. "No," he said in refusal.
That stuff left the body heated and it was unhealthy for her pregnancy.
Pursing her lips, she said, "Then you choose."
"Okay."
He soon brought her to a restaurant offering private cuisine, ordering the place's speciality, and while they waited to be
served, Irene watched him and asked, "Have you been in touch with Zachary Slate?"
She was done with work, so it was time to talk about Lulu Adams.
"Mostly at work," Isaac said flatly-Zachary might be in charge of Slate Industries, but his abilities as a businessman fell
short compared to his abilities as a doctor.
In fact, their so-called business connection was mostly just Isaac helping him.
"Why mention him out of the blue?"
"I need to see him after this,’ Irene said, when Isaac's phone began to ring.
