The Runaway Groom

Chapter 203

Isaac took two steps backward, avoiding Kathy.

Naturally, she was disappointed to miss, and asked Isaac tearfully, “How could you do this to me?”

As Isaac remained impassive, she bawled miserably. “I saved you, didn’t I? Those men almost had their way with me!”

“I will not work at the branch company!” she cried hysterically. “Even if it kills me!”

Isaac frowned in disdain just then.

“You were raised overseas, weren’t you? I could arrange a job for you at a foreign company instead,” he said-not relenting despite her tantrum.

“Why can’t I stay at headquarters? Was my performance lacking? I can improve-”

“I arranged a job for you because of my grandfather and because you were the owner of that silver crucifix. Do you think I would be here otherwise? I’m already being kinder than I should be just by being here, and if your answer is still no, you can forfeit it entirely ”
