Chapter 71
Isaac did not return home that night, but Irene thought
nothing of it.
Without a job, she lounged around in the mansion, taking
her time to nurture her body while working part-time as
an online medical consultant.
Though she never left the house, she took no notice of
the scandal Samantha fabricated, let alone find out how
far things had gone.
When Isaac did not return over the next few days, Irene
decided that this was the best chance to run away, and so
told Mrs. Watson, “Can you give me the check for the
cleaners? I’ll pick up the laundry.”
“Oh, I can get it for you!” Mrs. Watson suggested.
“Actually, I want to leave the house for a while too.”
Irene smiled. “Picking up the laundry afterward is just
convenient.”
In reality, she would leave once she picked up her laundry.
As Mrs. Watson passed her the check, she looked at Mrs.
Watson for a while before reaching out to give her a hug, saying, “I’m going to miss you, Mrs. Watson.”
Mrs. Watson laughed. “What are you on about, silly? It’s
not like we won’t see each other again.”
Irene could not say anything to that, and so simply smiled before leaving.
She had just reached the cleaners when her phone rang,
and she stayed outside to answer it.
“Irene? Do you remember me?”
Irene had to search her memory for a while before finding
a name. “Ms. Lang.”
“Yes, it’s me. As you know, my husband owns a company
researching pharmaceutical products, and they are
celebrating their latest breakthrough with a banquet
tonight. I had a dancing instructor who would be
performing a solo dance tonight, but she got injured and
couldn’t take the stage. That’s when I remembered you,
and you’re certainly skilled enough for that…”
“Actually…” Irene quickly interrupted, “I can’t perform
either.”
She was pregnant, and dancing in heels was a no go.
Moreover, Latin dance attire was skimpy and tight on the spots it covered, which would reveal her
swelling belly.
Ms. Lang became silent. “I see…”
“Sorry,” Irene quickly added.
“Actually, I think you could have a piano recital instead— I happened to see how well you played for the
students during one of your classes. To tell the truth, I’m not trying to push this on you, but we’re really
one short and
the schedule has been fixed. Every other instructor in the
studio has their own programs, too.”
Ms. Lang was asking earnestly, and Irene turned to glance at the laundromat just then.
It would have surely been difficult for Ms. Lang’s husband
to research that anti-cancer medication, and their
success was certainly worth celebrating.
Moreover, she could afford to wait another night.
“Very well.”
“Thank you!” Ms. Lang exclaimed happily. “I’ll make it worth your while.”
Irene was not concerned if she did not profit from this, however-she did this mainly because Ms. Lang
and her husband were good people.
“Well, I’ll see you at eight tonight. The venue is No. 109,
Dorime Pharmaceuticals, Cura Route.”
“Okay,” Irene replied, and then asked, “Do I have to
prepare anything else?”
“No, of course not,” Ms. Lang replied. “Your presence is
more than enough.”
With that, Irene left the laundromat. Since she was out
anyway, she took a stroll instead of heading home
immediately.
Then, she noticed that some of the people around her
were pointing and gesturing at her, so she had to head
5/6
back to the mansion-one must admit that the internet was certainly a tremendous influence in today’s
world!
Samantha’s drama had certainly damaged her reputation so thoroughly that she was being picked out
even on the
streets.
When Mrs. Watson found her returning empty-handed, she asked, “Where’s the laundry?”
“There’s a few that weren’t done yet,” Irene smiled in reply. “I’ll pick them up later.”
She arrived punctually at the designated venue.
Ms. Lang had already prepared an exquisite gown for her.
It looked a little like a wedding dress with its layered
frills, completely concealing her stomach while accentuating everything that made her beautiful: her
thin neck, her beautiful collarbones, and slim arms.
While she was backstage, the makeup artist helped her put on light makeup-she was a natural beauty,
and too much makeup would instead ruin her appearance.
Ms. Lang then told her that she will be the first to
perform on stage.
4.***
They were supposed to start with a dance number, but
had to change because of the sudden change.
The host began with a motivating speech, followed by a word from the CEO before the banquet
formally began.
As Irene slowly headed onstage, Mark Wickers — seated beside Isaac beneath the stage-asked the
man, “Mr. Jefferson, do you happen to remember Ms. Spencer?”
