The Runaway Groom Chapter 890
As their eyes met, Irene pretended to be pensive. “Well, yeah. I’m too beautiful I bewitched you, making me fall so
deeply in love with me…”
Isaac was speechless—when did she become so thick-skinned?
Irene sighed then and cupped his face with her hands. “I’m now the subject of gossip no thanks to you.”
Isaac smiled and put a hand on the back of her head, before leaning in to give her a light kiss. “Being gossiped
about means you have their attention.”
Irene pouted. “I don’t want that. Who knows what they are saying behind my back even though they keep smiling in
front of me.”
Isaac rose to his feet, making an angry look. “I’ll go warn them right now.”
“Stop,” Irene exclaimed as she caught his wrist. “They’d say that I bewitched you if you really did.”
“Right,” Isaac said, giving her a meaningful look. “You only warm my bed, after all.”
Irene was speechless for a moment and gave him a shove. “You’re despicable.”
Isaac chuckled and caught her hand. “Get over here.”

Wrapping her arms around his neck, she leaned her head over her shoulder and purred playfully, “From now on,
don’t you take notice or get upset if you hear gossip about me.”
“Yeah,” Isaac replied lovingly.
Bzzt…
Irene’s phone was vibrating, and she took it out to answer.
It was Finn, telling her that Dennis’s funeral was arranged for the day after tomorrow, and that everyone from
Hotmesh Research would attend.
Irene was being informed since she was being invited too.
“Okay,” she said, hung up, and pocketed her phone.
Turning to Isaac, she said, “They are probably done investigating Dennis’s death. They are arranging for the funeral
already.”
They would not have proceeded so quickly if there was still an issue.
Looking deep into Isaac’s eyes just then, she said, “Thank you.”
Dennis’s case would not have been resolved so easily if not for Isaac, and she leaned on Isaac, brushing her cheeks
against his chest before rearing her head to kiss him. “You’re so good to me.”
Isaac leaned downward to meet her lips, and they were at it for a while as he replied vaguely, “Yeah… Who would I
be good to, if not you?”
She smiled and poured more passion into their kiss, the air in the room becoming rife with hormones as they
tangled.
Isaac was panting slightly, and he reached under her blouse to caress the fair skin on her waist. “You’re doing this
on purpose, aren’t you?”
She was tempting him just because he could not go over the line just yet.
Why else would she do this right now?
Still, she pulled away just then and wiped the wetness over his mouth, her finger brushing over his soft, damp lips.
“Nope.”
She was not doing this on purpose—she simply loved him and wanted to kiss him.
She would convey her feelings, because words were not vivid enough.
“Is my presence interfering with your focus at work?” she asked softly.
Isaac tightened his arms around her waist. “No.”

“Okay,” Isaac replied.
Irene had nothing to do and idling was boring.
Remembering that she would soon be resigning and staying home, she would first have to improve her culinary
skills to take care of her home. That meant learning a few specialized dishes first.
“Is there a bookstore nearby?” she asked.
Isaac was putting away a stack of documents, and paused to look up at her. “What, you want to check out some
books? I’ll ask Elliot to buy them for you.”
“I’d like to check it out myself,” Irene insisted.
Isaac said, “Well, it’s not far.”
Irene held out a palm. “Car keys.”
Isaac opened a drawer and took it out for her. “Use the GPS if you don’t know the way. And drive slowly.”
“Yeah,” she murmured sweetly and left his office with the keys.
Everyone greeted her with warm smiles when they saw her, and she smiled in return.
Once she entered the elevator and was alone, her smile gradually faded.
