The Runaway Groom

The Runaway Groom Chapter 14

Chapter 14

Truth be told, Stan was not sure.

He had been puzzled and shocked himself to see Irene and Zachary holding a cheerful conversation over lunch he would never have known if he had not coincidentally passed by that restaurant either. “Should we call Dr. Slate and ask?” he suggested.

“Yeah,” Isaac flatly replied, and Stan quickly left to make the call.

Zachary arrived after around twenty minutes, and the instant he stepped into Isaac‘s office, he said, “Perfect timing. I was just going to-”

“You know Irene Spencer?” Isaac asked.

Interjected before he could finish, Zachary was taken aback, but he soon nodded. “I do–she‘s my junior, and she‘s the one who treated your injury that time.”

That was her?

It was actually surprising.

“Right, so...” Zachary continued as he entered and took a seat. “Can‘t you be nicer to her, Isaac?”

Isaac raised a brow and loafed even more casually just then, but those who knew him understood that the more casual he was, the more pensive he actually was.

Zachary was actually close to Irene?

Somehow, he felt upset–and he actually had no idea why he felt that way.

“Are you siding with her?” he asked quietly. “What is she to you?”
