Chapter 723
James said, ’When Finn Cook first started to work at Hotmesh Research, it's Tobey Kitsch who mentored him."
Isaac understood right then.
Since things ended badly for Tobey, he must be aiming for revenge against Irene.
So that was the reason for that phone call?
Isaac sprang to his feet at the thought-lrene was in danger at Hotmesh.
"Get my car..." Isaac began as he put on his jacket, but changed his mind. ’ Forget it. I'm driving there myself."
James wanted to say something, but Isaac already left his office.
He simply shrugged and smiled, and mused to himself that people do change.
He used to think that Isaac would never get worried. But these days...
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMeanwhile, Irene ran into yet another disgruntled colleague who wanted to mess with her soon after leaving
Dennis's office.
Yolanda King was in her forties, and also unhappy that Irene was airdropped as the next director. Still, she was
pompous, and always pulled rank and threw her weight around just because she had seniority, and she certainly
loved to be the center of the attention!
Irene was still pondering what to do with Finn and accidentally stepped on Yolanda's toes, so she began to hound
Irene relentlessly, not stopping even after she apologized.
"Are you blind? I'm right here, and you're saying you didn't see me? You obviously did it on purpose!"
Irene listened quietly as Yolanda rambled on.
She had already apologized, but there was nothing she could do since
Yolanda was not accepting her apology.
Since they were not far from Dennis's office, he found out immediately and tried to reason as well. "But Irene has
already apologized..."
"She obviously doesn't mean it, and I just put on these coveralls. How am I going to enter the lab now?"
"Just get changed!" Dennis snapped, pulling her aside. "I'm retiring soon- why are you trying to upset the next
director? What good would it do you? Aren’t you afraid that she would make life hard for you because of this?"
Yolanda thought about it, but she said, ’Director, shouldn't you at least tell me who's her backer? She looked like a
fresh graduate, and her competence aside, do you think people would be satisfied when she becomes director,
given her age and resume? I've worked here for more than ten years and I started in my twenties. I'm forty-one
now, but I'm supposed to work for her... Like, what the hell?!"
She certainly could not accept this, but she would not have said a word if it was someone superior.
However, the entire hospital knew that Irene had a bigwig backer-that was how she got the job.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIrene lowered her gaze at Yolanda's words.
She always knew that everyone believed that she was succeeding Dennis by backdoor means and was inevitably
frustrated to have to hear it twice in one day.
Even so, Dennis tried to reason. "She has what it takes. She used to work at Mead Clinic, and she was the one who
got the research data we published earlier-'
"That's not her work. It was just theft in the end." Yolanda certainly did not consider the research data a
contribution, and she found Irene simply unsavory.
She was also convinced that everyone in Hotmesh could have done it too!
"You really don't know what's good for you... stay on that high horse all you want," Dennis snorted and turned
toward Irene. "You can go now. Just ignore her, or fire her if she keeps this up when you take my place."
Yolanda became flustered right then and grabbed Irene as she blurted,' You only slept your way to the top! You're
not making me leave, whoever your backer is! Not everyone can work here, and if you dare fire me, I'll make it so
that you won't get to stay either! Test me if you dare!"
"And how do we test you?"
An utterly intimidating deep voice boomed from the walkway.
