Chapter 15 The Dangers of Comparison
Irene didn't know whether Jordan was telling the truth or not, but she wouldn't give up any chance. Therefore, she immediately rushed to Hyatt Hotel.
She opened the car door and rushed into the hotel as soon as she arrived there. She sprinted to the elevator and saw Edric and Lily inside when she stepped in.
It was too late to get out. Besides, there was no need for her to pull back. She had always been upright and honest. Why should she be afraid of this pair of adulterers?
Seeing Irene entering the elevator, Lily immediately leaned on Edric. Edric was a little stiff. He glanced at Irene from the corner of his eyes. She didn't look at him at all. Instead, she just stood aside with her hands folded and there wasn't any emotion on her face.
Simmering with anger, he wanted to push Lily away at first. Yet being ignored by Irene motivated him to hold Lily even tighter in his arms.
Irene's eyes were not on them at all. The phone in her pocket rang again. She took out her phone in a hurry and heard Jordan's voice. "Thirty minutes are up!" "I'm already in the elevator!"
"I only gave you 30 minutes. This thing is done since you didn't follow the rules!"
Hearing Jordan's cold voice, Irene was wrought up. "Jordan, you can't do this! I'm already here. There was a traffic jam on the road. You can't blame me!"
Edric was furious when he saw the eager look on Irene's face. This d*mn woman. He always waited for her when they were together. She was late every time yet he had never seen her apologize. It was true that it was dangerous to compare oneself to others!
While Edric was left fuming, the elevator stopped. Irene rushed out and went straight to the room where Jordan was.
Lily noticed Edric's expression and knew that he was angry now. She seized the opportunity and said, "Miss Nelson seems to be with Mr. Reed now. A playboy like Mr.Reed..."
"How do other people's affairs have anything to do with you?" Edric was not in a good mood.
Lily felt a little embarrassed for being cold-shouldered by Edric.
Irene hurriedly pushed the door open. Jordan was sitting on the sofa, legs crossed, with David standing beside him. She squeezed a smile and said, "Mr. Reed!" "Okay!" Jordan squeezed out a word and looked at his watch.
"You're late, Miss Nelson!"
"Mr. Reed, I'm sorry!" Irene smiled apologetically.
"I'm sorry? Do you know my rules?"
"I know! I know! About the kidney, Mr. Reed..."
Jordan raised his bandaged wrist and blew on it. He glanced sideways at Irene and said, "The kidney is nothing difficult for me, but..."
Irene tried to be patient. "I will do anything as long as you can help me!"
"Anything?" Jordan said in a dragging voice.
"That... except that..." Irene stammered.
Jordan raised his eyebrows. This woman was quite interesting. Other women couldn't wait to be with him, yet she seemed to be very reluctant to get involved with him. Novelty seeking was his favorite thing. Irene was gorgeous and exactly his type. Rushing would not help him to get her heart.
Thinking of that, Jordan curled up his lips into a charming smile and said, "Do you still want to quit?"
"No, I won't quit!"
"Since that's the case, sign the contract!" Jordan pursed his lips at David. David opened the briefcase and took out a contract and handed it to Irene.
Irene inexplicably took over the contract. "What's this?"
"This is the contract of employment. Didn't you quit before? Let's sign a new contract now. I will find your uncle a new kidney, on the condition that you go back to the company to work for me."
Irene picked up the contract and read it. She didn't find anything odd. The doctor said that her uncle's illness couldn't wait any longer. She couldn't let anything happen to her uncle and would do anything to protect him. Thinking of this, she picked up the pen and signed her name.
Jordan fixed his eyes on Irene. Seeing that she signed the contract, he motioned for David to put the contract away and smiled at Irene. "The contract becomes effective now. I will fulfill my part and I hope you will remember your duty as well. Remember to be at my back and call!"
