The Runaway Groom Chapter 779
Irene quickly turned toward Isaac, who had released her without her realizing it and stood there, looking all-
serious.It was as if she was the one brazenly trying to kiss him.
“Mr.Jefferson.” The employees at the door greeted Isaac just then.
“Yeah,” Isaac replied flatly.
“Come in.” He took Irene’s hand then and stepped outside, not forgetting to introduce her as they went.
“She’s my wife. Greet her properly the next time you see her.”
“Yes, Mr.Jefferson.”
The employees all agreed with one voice and turned toward Irene.
“Hello, Mrs.Jefferson.”
“Hello.”
Irene smiled politely, but she loathed Isaac just then for making her look like a fool.

completely ruined her image! Once inside Isaac’s office and the door closed behind them, she grabbed Isaac by the
collar down to eye-level.
She had no choice since he was too tall—it was the only way to look into his eyes without standing on her toes.
“You wanted that, didn’t you? You wanted to embarrass me in public, Isaac Jefferson!” Isaac arched his back to play
along.
“It’s not embarrassing.You just wanted a kiss from your husband, and they just happened to spot you.You’re my
legitimate wife and not some secret mistress— what are you worried about?”
“I’m not worried,” Irene growled in utter frustration.
“It’s the impression I’m leaving.” Isaac smiled.
“Did I ruin it for you?”
“You think?!” she snapped indignantly.
“Others would think that I’m just…” Isaac smiled as he pressed, “Just what?”
Irene tapped his chest with a knuckle.
“Stop it already.You’re always bullying me, too…”
“Myr. Jefferson…?”
Elliot the secretary was standing at the doorway, holding a tray of coffees and unsure if he should enter or leave.
“Sorry, I forgot to knock.”
After the mess with Debbie the secretary, Isaac made sure to hire a male as his secretary this time since he
needed the help.
Elliot kept his head down tactfully as if seeing nothing.
At the same time, Irene was speechless and slowly released Isaac’s collar, turning her back to the door since she
was too embarrassed to face anyone.
Isaac straightened himself then, adjusted his collar, and said, “Put it on the table.”
Elliot entered and put the coffee on the table, before hurrying outside and closing the door behind him.
“The coffee here is good.Try it,” Isaac told Irene then.

Isaac caught her.
“Are you upset?”Irene was certainly indignant.
“I wanted to leave work with you, not embarrass myself.” Isaac hugged her tenderly then.
“What’s embarrassing about this? Flirting and squabbling is a way to make things exciting for married couples.They
are all envious after seeing us—they won’t be laughing at you.”
“Don’t try to swindle me—I’m not an idiot.You’re a man with stature, so how are people going to think when you
have such a coquettish wife?”
Irene’s eyes were red from sheer rage.
“It’s all your fault.”
“Fine, it’s my fault.” Isaac apologized.
“I’m sorry. I won’t make you kiss me in the office. Let’s kiss once we get home.”
Irene was speechless again, but he caught her hand when she tried to hit him again, saying, “You won’t beat me.”
While Irene could not say a word to that, he leaned in and whispered into her ear, “I won’t make you kiss me,
honest —but I’ll kiss you.” With that, he pressed his lips against hers. Irene’s eyes widened in surprise!
