The Runaway Groom Chapter 9

Chapter 9

“Tell him I said no. And get me a coffee,” Isaac growled as he strode into his own office, heading straight for his desk.

“But Mr. Gooding said that he won‘t leave unless you see him...”

Isaac turned to look at his secretary, who quickly lowered her head.

“Bring him here,” he said, before sitting down and unbuttoning his suit.

Soon, the secretary returned with Harvey and Isaac‘s coffee.

Harvey appeared very upset, and snapped at Isaac immediately, “Where did you find that woman?”

Isaac picked up his coffee and gestured for his secretary to leave, before finally looking up at Harvey.

“Look what she did!” Harvey continued, pointing at a distinct slash mark on his neck, before showing the bandage on his wrist. “She almost cut off my tendons, too!”

Isaac’s gaze darted between Harvey‘s injuries, feeling slightly delighted just then. Although he knew the answer, he asked, “What happened?”

Harvey appeared traumatized. “That woman had a scalpel ! And she was somehow breathtakingly efficient with it! The doctor at the hospital told me she‘d barely missed my jugular! Honestly, I almost died before getting any action.... That‘s why I‘m asking again—where did you find that woman?”

On the other hand, Isaac was in a good mood to hear that Harvey did not manage to get his way with Irene. Leaning on his chair, he maintained his usual aloof visage as he asked, “Why are you looking for her?”

“For revenge, of course!” Harvey exclaimed indignantly, since he had never been humiliated this much.

Moreover, Irene did not tell him anything about herself,

so she remained an enigma.

“If it‘s for revenge, you‘ll have to find her yourself.”

Harvey was stumped for a moment, but soon snarled viciously, “Fine, I‘ll come up with something! If I get to her first, I‘ll cripple her hands– let‘s see how she‘ll swing a scalpel then!”

At the hospital, Irene had just stepped out of the examination room when she shivered from a mysterious chill.
