The Runaway Groom

Irene tensed up immediately, her fingers clenching over her phone right then.

Still, she quickly feigned nonchalance and told Zachary, “Isaac just called me to his office. I'm going now."

"Yes, but Ms. Adams wants it to be done with and is asking for the next one already. She was very insistent.”

"Did the doctor agree to it?" Irene asked.

"He did when I asked, but he also stated that it would be exceedingly difficult,” Eagle replied. “The main reason is due to her health reasons, and the surgery caused further compromise."

"So you mean to say she went through with it, and there's a problem now?"

Eagle seemed afraid to respond as if afraid to upset her, taking a long while before saying, "Yes, ma'am.”
