The Runaway Groom Chapter 823
Lulu told Martin very softly, “It’s Johnny.”
Johnny was one of their colleagues and gossip would be inevitable if they were caught as newlyweds coming out to
get another new bed when they already got one for their wedding!
How could it not be weird? Johnny and the rest would certainly start gossiping or asking questions directly.
How would Martin and Lulu answer them when that happened?
Even if Martin was usually sharp and stern at his job, he was rather bumbling when it came to his own personal
matters.
Nodding repeatedly then, they moved to hide behind a nearby wardrobe.
They waited a long while and only left when Johnny did.
With that, they continued to look for a bed and made an order.
However, when they were going to leave, someone called out, “Cap?”
Lulu was speechless.
They were seen despite all their effort, huh?

Lulu was even more speechless.
Everyone in the team knew him, and he would be recognized straight away if he did!
He was usually so sharp at work—when did he get so stupid?
Still, he soon said, “Getting spotted is bad, you said? I’ll just pretend not to hear him. Let’s go!”
He pulled Lulu along.
In reality, he had every reason to respond to Johnny. An excuse such as getting new furniture was acceptable, since
they had already ordered a bed and they were nowhere near that department.
What a mess!
As they left the furniture store, Johnny seemed to be following them out.
Martin said quietly, “Let’s not go to the car. Let him leave first.”
Lulu nodded and they headed in the opposite direction from their car.
Johnny actually thought that he really did see Martin, but decided the man was not since he was not even turning
around.
With that, he left.
Noticing that he was gone, Martin heaved a quiet sigh of relief.
Lulu watched his silly reaction and could not help giggling.
“What’s so funny?” Martin asked.
She composed herself. “Nothing.”
They waited a while longer, and he said then, “Let’s go home.”
“Yeah,” Lulu replied.
However, just as they reached their car, Johnny appeared out of nowhere and ambushed Martin. “That was you in
there, right, cap?”
Martin raised a brow. “Where did you come out from?”
“I thought I saw you after I got a bookshelf. You ignored me when I called you, and I thought I had the wrong guy…
until I saw your car. I just waited here for you since I know it’s you.”
Martin shot him a glare. “Waiting for me? What’s wrong with you? Don’t you have anything better to do?”
Johnny felt puzzled by his glare and pouted. “I just wanted to know if it was really you. I mean, it’s no issue to see
you here, right? What were you sneaking around for?”
Did Martin do something that should not be seen?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I’m here to get furniture too and I heard you. I just didn’t want to talk to you.”
With that, Martin opened his car and got in with Lulu, before quickly driving off.
Johnny was left speechless.
Did he do something wrong? Was he not supposed to greet Martin?
…
Irene had been riding her horse for an hour when Isaac gestured for her to stop for a break.
After having a glass of water, she asked, “Are we staying here the entire day? Don’t you have work? Do you really
have time to hang out with me? Just go if you’re busy—I’ll go home.”
“It’s no trouble,” Isaac replied.
Even if he was, he would spare some time to spend with her or she would start imagining things!
“You seem quick interested in riding. Should I bring you here more often?” Isaac asked, watching for her reaction.
Irene was about to speak when her phone started ringing on the table.
She picked it up and saw that it was from Ray Hall.
Could it be about Dennis Turner?
Was it good news or bad news?
She answered the call nervously regardless.
“Hello?”
