The Runaway Groom

The Runaway Groom Chapter 5

Chapter 5

Zachary had come hitching a ride from Isaac to meet up with Irene.

When he saw that it was Whitney coming instead, he alighted. “I‘m leaving.”

After he left, Whitney got in and sat opposite Isaac, feeling insecure since she realized that Isaac had mistaken her for someone else.

However, she already experienced the benefit of his influence – the chief of the hospital had always admired Irene, but Isaac just had to speak, and Whitney was given the internship at the Second Militarized Zone instead.

She had made up her mind to keep him.

Such an opportunity –such good fortune–only happens once in a lifetime. It was a blessing from the gods, and she must therefore seize it.

“Let‘s just be friends for now.”
