Irene said, “No, Isaac isn’t furious, but I am–are you trying to drive a wedge between us? I didn’t take you for such
a person.”
Harvey only wanted to upset Isaac, and did it in the knowledge that he would make things difficult for Irene.
He naturally could not argue now that Irene was upset with him, and smiled apologetically. “Come on, don’t think of
it that way! If he becomes distrustful and gets angry at you, it’s a sign that he only loves you that much.”
“Fuck off,” Irene cursed at him right then.
This was neither about love or trust–she would be uncomfortable if Isaac had ended up drunk and then shared a
room with another woman.
That was why she understood why Isaac was grumpy over that.
As for trust? Their relationship only began recently, and it was no flaw that they did not have unconditional trust in

However, she was confident that they could do it as time went by.
Suddenly, she said, “You’d better hand over all of last night’s security footage to Isaac.”
Harvey stayed silent, and she frowned. “What, are you refusing? Don’t you forget that I saved your mom, or is this
how you repay me?”
Harvey quickly said, “No, but…”
“But, what? Don’t dilly–dally.” Irene was getting impatient.
As such, Harvey came clean. “I deleted all the footage except the part where I had my arms around you, and you
tripped me…”
Irene’s face turned dark from frustration. “You did that on purpose.”
Harvey nodded. “Well, yeah. I was going to show that to Isaac too.”
“Go to hell, Harvey Gooding.” Irene growed in rage.
It was the first time Harvey saw her losing composure, and finally realized the gravity of the situation.” You’re really
upset?‘
“What, do you think I’m faking it? Also, get out of my sight–I don’t have time for you.” Irene was glowering. so
furious at a person for the first time that she was at a loss for words.
Composing herself, she headed toward Stephen’s office, though Harvey was following her. “Sorry, I didn’t
mean to=”
“Stop following me,” she snapped.
Harvey stopped in his tracks. “Are you really angry?”
Irene was not bothered to respond.
Stephen was having a discussion with a man when someone knocked on his office door.
He answered the door himself, and seeing that it was Irene, he said, “Come in.”

Irene nodded, though the man sitting in front of Stephen’s desk never turned around.
Looking from behind, he projected a cold and stern presence, as if he was hard to get along with.
“Mick, allow me to introduce you to Dr. Spencer. She might take over my practice in the future.” Stephen told the
man, and he finally turned around.
When Irene saw her face, she realized her hunch was right–he had the air of a stern man, and his chiseled facial
features carried a sense of grimness.
Stephen then told Irene, “I’ll be having a consultation with an old patient of mine tomorrow and you’ll be assisting.”
“Stephen.” Mick Gooding was clearly reluctant to involve Irene.
Even so, Stephen told him, “Don’t worry. She is trustworthy, and she’ll be my stand–in if I happen to be indisposed
for a surgery.”
When Mick appeared to be hesitant, Stephen continued. “Her condition can’t wait. I really hope you can make a
decision as soon as possible. Also, you have nothing to worry about–there won’t be a leak from our end. Can’t you
trust me? Haven’t we been friends for years?”
Mick turned toward Irene thoughtfully then.
