Chapter 1053
"Just tell me," Irene said-she did not have to worry about money with a backer like Isaac.
She was just concerned that Eagle's idea might not be reliable, and Lulu was very weak at the moment-there must
be no slip-ups.
"There's this female colleague of mine who is strong and shows a strong sense of duty," Eagle explained. "However,
hiring her is expensive, though I could ask her over if you're willing to keep an eye on Ms. Adams. She might not be
meticulous as a care worker since her expertise is combat, so you can hire a care worker in addition to her so Ms.
Adams would have both care and protection. What do you think?"
"Let me think about it," Irene replied.
Money was not a problem-the problem was that she did not know a thing about the woman Eagle was talking
about, making her no different from a stranger.
On the other hand, it might be ideal if she had Eagle stayed instead and hired an additional care worker as he
suggested.

"Yes, ma'am," Eagle replied and left the room.
Irene then checked the time and decided Isaac would still be awake at the moment.
She walked up to the window and called him, and he picked up soon enough.
"Still awake?" she asked.
Isaac's voice was a little hoarse. "I'm at the office."
"Are you busy?"
"Yeah."
Irene had more to say but decided that he sounded busy, so she said," Always remember to get some rest.’
"When are you coming home?"
"Soon," she replied, refraining from giving anything specific to surprise him.
Isaac was silent for a while, so Irene asked, "Do you miss me?"
"Yeah," he replied, before being silent for a while. "I'd miss you aside from while I'm working."
"I doubt it." Irene smiled, leaning against the window. "You can't miss me while you're asleep."
She meant a person could not think while they were asleep, so how could he miss her?
"You're being unreasonable now.' Isaac sighed feebly. “How are things on your end?"
"This is going to take a while. Anyway, I was calling to ask if there are more reliable people at the company where
you hired Eagle."
Over at the offices of Remy, Isaac was reclining against his chair behind his desk where stacks of documents stood.
He rubbed between his brows as he glanced at the bright lights reflecting off the glass wall outside.
So, she called him because of that, and not to ask about their children or because she missed him?
Would she have called at all if she did not actually need help?
"Isaac, I..."
"I'm busy," he growled unhappily. "Don't worry. Eagle is very reliable."
And with that, he hung up, flinging his phone away while loosening his collar irritable.
His shirt hung loosely, baring his long neck-even the curve over Adam's apple was as bewitching as it was alluring.
Not even his wrinkled shirt could hide his masculine charm.
Irene stared at her phone after Isaac hung up, blinking.

And here she was going to tell him she missed him, but he hung up before she could.
Honestly, that man...
Whatever. She still had issues to resolve over here.
However, she kept tossing and turning in bed but was unable to fall asleep.
Her phone was still in her hand, and she really wanted to call Isaac to ask if he was angry.
Why else would he suddenly hang up?
However, she had tapped into his contact details, but her fingers hovered over it for a long while in hesitation... and
she never pressed to call.
She sighed, and decided to give up and sleep instead, sliding her phone beneath her pillow.
She would just have to properly sweet talk him once they met.
Meanwhile, Isaac was staring at his phone in turn.
He wondered if Irene felt his anger.
If that was the case, should she not be calling him again now?
