Irene said, “No, Isaac isn’t furious, but I am—are you trying to drive awedge between us? I didn’t take you for such a person.”

Harvey only wanted to upset Isaac, and did it in the knowledge that hewould make things difficult for Irene.

He naturally could not argue now that Irene was upset with him, andsmiled apologetically. “Come on, don't think of it that way! If hebecomes distrustful and gets angry at you, it's a sign that he only lovesyou that much.”

“Fuck off,” Irene cursed at him right then.

This was neither about love or trust-she would be uncomfortable ifIsaac had ended up drunk and then shared a room with anotherwoman.

That was why she understood why Isaac was grumpy over that.

As for trust? Their relationship only began recently, and it was no flawthat they did not have unconditional trust in each other.

However, she was confident that they could do it as time went by.Suddenly, she said, “You'd better hand over all of last night's securityfootage to Isaac.”

Harvey stayed silent, and she frowned. “What, are you refusing? Don'tyou forget that I saved your mom, or is this how you repay me?”Harvey quickly said, “No, but...”

“But, what? Don't dilly—dally.” Irene was getting impatient.

As such, Harvey came clean. “I deleted all the footage except the partwhere I had my arms around you, and you tripped me..."

Irene’s face turned dark from frustration. “You did that on purpose.”Harvey nodded. “Well, yeah. I was going to show that to Isaac t00.”“Go to hell, Harvey Gooding.” Irene growed in rage.

It was the first ime Harvey saw her losing composure, and finallyrealized the gravity of the situation.” You're really upset?"

“What, do you think I'm faking it? Also, get out of my sight—I don’t havetime for you.” Irene was glowering. so furious at a person for the firsttime that she was at a loss for words.

Composing herself, she headed toward Stephen's office, thoughHarvey was following her. “Sorry, I didn't

mean to="

“Stop following me,” she snapped.

Harvey stopped in his tracks. “Are you really angry?”

Irene was not bothered to respond.

Stephen was having a discussion with a man when someone knockedon his office door.

He answered the door himself, and seeing that it was Irene, he said,"Come in.”

trene did not do so right away. “You have a guest?”

“It's a patient's family member and a friend. Come on in.” Stephen said.Irene nodded, though the man sitting in front of Stephen’s desk neverturned around.

Looking from behind, he projected a cold and stern presence, as if hewas hard to get along with.

“Mick, allow me to introduce you to Dr. Spencer. She might take overmy practice in the future.” Stephen told the man, and he finally turnedaround.

When Irene saw her face, she realized her hunch was right-he had theair of a stern man, and his chiseled facial features carried a sense ofgrimness.

Stephen then told Irene, “I'll be having a consultation with an old patientof mine tomorrow and you'll be assisting.”

“Stephen.” Mick Gooding was clearly reluctant to involve Irene.

Even so, Stephen told him, “Don’t worry. She is trustworthy, and she'llbe my stand-in if I happen to be indisposed for a surgery.”

When Mick appeared to be hesitant, Stephen continued. “Her conditioncan’t wait. I really hope you can make a decision as soon as possible.Also, you have nothing to worry about-there won't be a leak from ourend. Can't you trust me? Haven't we been friends for years?”

Mick turned toward Irene thoughtfully then.
