Chapter 506

It was a worker, who appeared sloppy as he carried a stack ofdocuments and stood outside the door.

Irene's speech was cut short because of his sudden intrusion. Knowingthe abruptness of his arrival, he quickly lowered his head and walkedalong the wall.

He was here to deliver documents and had to use his elbow to keep thedoors open as he entered, since he was holding the stack of paper inhis arms. He just did not expect the doors to swing open so abruptlyand loudly, leaving him at a loss.

Still, the distraction was soon over, and Irene remained unaffected asshe finished her speech.

Isaac had been sitting at an inconspicuous corner, his gaze bypassingcountless others to stay fixed on Irene.

She seemed to sparkle when she spoke about her expertise, herconfidence making her glow bewitchingly.

He did not even realize that he was smiling faintly, but he certainlyadmired her at that very moment.

She was no naive, ignorant child, and he could feel the passion in herspeech.

And he admired her for that.

The forum was split over two days, and as they were done for the day,Irene slowly left the hall, with a hand clutching her belly.

That was when Mark suddenly appeared before her, giving her athumbs up. "I didn't think you were one of the researchers. Your speechleft me speechless.”

He did not expect Irene to have developed so well in the field, andwhile he did not know most of the jargon, he was absorbednonetheless.

“I didn't know that you were working at Mead Clinic. Actually, I've beenthere myself and was trying to poach a talented young doctor butfailed...

That said, are you interested in returning?"

Mark was already scheming again, intent on getting his previouslyunfinished business done-but Irene had no intention of returning soon.“Why not? But we are lacking talents like yours, y'know? If you'reavoiding-'

“Mark Wickers," an icy voice called out just then, cutting Mark short.They both turned to replace Isaac striding toward them, growling, "Do youknow who she is?’

Mark nodded. "Yes..."

'So why are you bothering her?" Isaac was exceedingly annoyed-Irenewas pregnant and the forum lasted the entire morning.

There was no doubt that she was tired, but he was still bugging her withhis nonsense!

Mark actually smacked himself on the forehead for forgetting it.

Irene was Isaac's lover, and clearly had no need for money!

In fact, he should be addressing her as “ma'am’ since Isaac hadinvested in his company!

There was little wonder why Isaac was so upset!

Smiling gingerly, Mark said, "Sorry, my bad."

Irene actually knew that Mark had been to Minerva and the reasonbehind the visit. She assured him, "Don’t worry-our country’s medicaltechnology would never fall behind.”

“Really? Do you know something that we don't?" Mark quickly pressed.Irene looked around to ensure that there was no one eavesdropping,before saying, "Isaac is now a shareholder of Mead Clinic."

Mark's eyes widened.

While he was obsessing over poaching talents, Isaac had outclassedhim by directly taking a piece of the pie and becoming a shareholder.He could not be more impressed-it only made sense that the manalways succeeded.

"Let's go," Isaac told Irene, putting a hand around her shoulder andasking, ' I guess you're hungry now? What do you want for lunch?"Irene was certainly hungry. "Curry..."

Isaac narrowed his eyes. "No," he said in refusal.

That stuff left the body heated and it was unhealthy for her pregnancy.pursing her lips, she said, "Then you choose.”

Okay."

He soon brought her to a restaurant offering private cuisine, ordering the place's speciality,and while they waited to be served, Irene watched him and asked, "Have you been in touchwith Zachary Slate?"

she was done with work, so it was time to talk about Lulu Adams.

"Mostly at work," Isaac said flatly-Zachary might be in charge of Slate Industries, but hisabilities as a businessman fell short compared to his abilities as a doctor.

In fact, their so-called business connection was mostly just Isaac helping him.

“Why mention him out of the blue?"

"I need to see him after this,’ Irene said, when Isaac's phone began to ring.
