Irene froze instantly.
On the other hand, the woman didn’t notice her, and was still engrossed with caressing the desk…while
imagining Isaac sitting there at work.
“Bah…”
Tommy suddenly murmured, and Debbie the secretary promptly snapped out of her fantasy.
She turned around but saw no one, although she found the door slightly ajar.
Still, as she quietly walked up and opened the door she found nobody in sight. Breathing a sigh in
relief, she straightened her clothes and left, closing the door behind her.
Irene, who had been hiding behind a corner, appeared weirded out by Debbie’s behavior.
She looked down at Tommy, and took a deep breath to relax herself.

of it.
Irene leaned in to give him a peck on the forehead, adjusted her hold on him, and then
turned to take the elevator downstairs.
It wasn’t until she returned inside the car that she relaxed.
Even so, she felt the creeps and cringed hard when she remembered what Debbie had
done.
At the driver’s seat, the bodyguard asked, “Heading back, ma’am?”
Irene nodded. “Yes.”

After they were gone, Irene finally asked, “Was there a problem?”
Isaac looked into her eyes. “No, Tommy’s fine. Do you think I’d let his poisoner live?”

“Well, have you calmed down now?” she asked.
“What, you’re not upset?” Isaac studied her. “Are you siding with him just because he was threatened?”
