The Runaway Groom

Chapter 459

Harvey lifted the employee ID dangling over Irene's chest and read it.

"Jane Tanner? I didn't think that it'd be you," he said in surprise. "I was actually wondering where I should start searching."

He was impressed that he recognized her despite the face mask, too.

As a matter of fact, Harvey had found out that Isaac might invest in the fully artificial heart project and was going to poach a certain doctor from Mead Clinic.

Since Isaac was known not to fail, he wanted to poach the doctor before Isaac could, and then put his own money in the project.

However, he had no experience in the medical field, let alone any contacts he could speak with.

As such, he came here looking like an idiot, and was kept out of the staffs quarters.

Frustrated, he paced around outside when he saw Irene came out, and grabbed her like he was grasping at straws.

"Come with me,” he told her as he pulled her along.

Irene was at a loss for words, and simply grabbed the nearest scaffolding.

Harvey had to turn around right then, and when he saw just her eyes and forehead, he blurted out what he was thinking right then.

"lrene...?”

He did not mean to say it out loud, but it left Irene terrified.
