Chapter 667

Irene felt spirited right then. Could it be a phone call from Isaac?"Hello?"

However, it turned out to be Sheryl. "Irene, did you leave in the middleof the night?"

'Yeah," Irene murmured quietly, doing her best to hide herdisappointment.

"Why'd you have to leave? How could you still be so unruly? Don't youunderstand the state you're in?" Sheryl rebuked her right then.

Irene smiled and tried to assure her mother, saying, “I know. It won'thappen again.”

"You always say that, but you never actually do it."

It was not as if Sheryl wanted to scold her, but Irene really did make herworry all the time.

Irene naturally had to change the subject. "Mom, did somethinghappen? Was that why you called me?"

“Yeah. Will you be home soon?"

"Yeah."

“Well, you will replace out when you get home."

"Okay," Irene replied, and hung up.

Holding her phone and hesitating for a moment, she called Isaac'snumber again.

Meanwhile, in Franconia...

Remy's headquarters was grander than the office buildings in Zidonia.Though the CEO's office here was furnished in Franconian style, it stillhad a staid air to it.

Isaac had actually come because he was upset at Irene and he neededtime to calm himself.

He actually had work to do here, too-stacks of documents and folderswere sitting on his huge desk.

Stan Hill stood nearby, grumbling, "James Cross doesn't want to comeback at all, huh?"

As he spoke, he was watching Isaac as well-the man had transferredhim here, but did not transfer him back at all.

Still, Isaac saw through him the instant he spoke and gave him a coollook. "James is much more reliable than you are. You should stay hereinstead!

Bzzt-

While Stan was left speechless, Isaac's phone started to buzz on hisdesk.

Isaac looked up at the screen, his gaze lingering on it.

He missed her, and he could not ignore her even if he was upset withher.

Still, he stayed aloof despite answering and restrained his voice. "Whatis it?"

Irene could not wait to talk to him, but she was hesitant to speak."Isaac?" she eventually murmured, pursing her lips. "It's nothing... Youdidn't tell me that you were leaving."

While Isaac remained silent, she hung her head and asked, "Are youupset with me?"

"No," Isaac coolly replied.

Irene pursed her lips.

She knew that he was upset, but she asked anyway, "Do you missme?"

Isaac was speechless, but he would never admit it because of hispride. 'l just left.”

Irene smiled. "Well, absence makes the heart fonder, right? Isn't thathow it goes?"

Isaac's fingers clenched on his phone and he leaned against his chair,staring nonchalantly at the scenery outside. "Do you miss me?"

'I do," Irene replied.

Isaac's heart softened right then and all the grumpiness he felt washalved.

"Yeah." There was a lightness in his voice now as well.

"When are you coming back?" Irene pressed.

"Well, work is going to take a few days..."

Irene giggled and teased him. "I thought it would be half a month."Isaac laughed despite himself. “You knew, huh?"

The car reached the hilltop mansion just then and Irene got out once itstopped. "Come home once you're done. I miss you."

Isaac wanted to fly home when he heard those words, but he couldonly reply quietly, "Yeah."

“I'l hang up now?"

"Yeah.

Irene put away her phone after hanging up and she entered themansion to a shocking scene in the living room!

"Mom, what is going on here?"
