The Runaway Groom

James was peeking because he was worried that the gift might be something that could hurt Erin's self-esteem, and he would rather spare her from having to feel that she was less than Isaac.

Having worked for Isaac for so long, he knew that Isacc spared no expense when it comes to his own people. In fact, they were more brothers than merely superior and subordinate.

It was exactly the case for when James was captured—Isaac was suffering from temporary blindness, but he carried on, calling favors and spending all the money he had to save James.

Bosses did not usually do that. In other words, Isaac was loyal to a fault, but he never liked to express it.

Even so, those who were with him knew very well that it was respect and a sense of security they would not get anywhere else.

On the other hand, Erin was even more expectant when she realized it was not money, and she was starting to fumble a little.

James simply reclined on the couch with the fresh juice, taking a sip and then saying, "Relax. It's a surprise.”

"Shut it, you," Erin snapped—it was up to her to decide if it was a surprise, and it would never be if they said it!
