Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1365 About Our Partnership

Isaac stared at Chloe, who looked like a grumpy, raging cat as she glared at him. He knew that he must have annoyed the woman with his actions. "I'm sorry. I knocked on the door, but you didn't respond. The guards rang your phone, but you didn't pick up either. They let me in and I knocked on your door again, but you still didn't say anything. I asked someone to make sure that you were in the office, and I got worried that something might have happened to you, so I decided to come in. Yet, you still misunderstood me." Isaac let out a sigh.

He explained himself in a single breath, and Roxanna didn't get a chance to say anything at all. She ended up not knowing what to say at all. She hadn't intended to put all the blame on the man, and she felt rather pleased and surprised to hear the man explaining himself so thoroughly. "You really misunderstood me," Isaac said as he lowered his head. He looked like a sad and sorry child who had been wrongly accused.

"Alright, alright. It's my fault, okay? I shouldn't have blamed you for this. Is there any reason you're here, Mr. Quill?" Roxanna hastily apologized for her mistake. Today seems like an unlucky day for me. How did I end up in this situation? She no longer looked the man in the eye after that, as she didn't know how to comfort him.

As Roxanna was looking away, Isaac sneakily lifted his head up and he curled his lips into a cheeky smirk. He hadn't expected the woman to be so easily fooled by his act. Of course, he had been completely honest with his explanation—he had no reason to lie to Roxanna. He simply hadn't expected her to be such a fun person to fool around with, and he couldn't help but feel the urge to tease her a little more.

"I heard that you guys started another research center overseas, and I got rather worried about our partnership, so I dropped by to talk to you about it. I hadn't expected you to be so hostile with me."

Isaac got into the mood a little before he began to play the role of a victim again. He sounded rather disappointed as he spoke.

Roxanna seemed a lot more alert upon Isaac's mention of the partnership. She snapped her head back to stare at the man, only to see his miserable and meek expression. She found herself extra guilty as she reflected on her earlier actions. "I'm so sorry, Mr. Quill. I hope a generous man like you can forgive me this once. You should take a seat if you're here to talk about the partnership," she replied.

Roxanna nearly forgot about how Isaac was technically her client. She deeply regretted her actions when she recalled the way she had treated him earlier. I must have gotten a little too comfortable around here, and I totally forgot how some people can be calculative and mean. I hope Isaac isn't one of those guys, Roxanna thought to herself. She silently prayed that the man wouldn't fault her for her actions.

Meanwhile, Isaac stole a glance at Roxanna to see the look on her face. Then, with the same hurt expression on his face, he sank into the seat that Roxanna had pointed him toward. "The last time we spoke about the partnership, we agreed that my company will be the only one partnering up with you for the makeup products, right?" Isaac wasn't just there to tease the woman; he was also there for work. He wasn't the sort of person who would fool around when it came to business.

Roxanna seemed rather shocked to see the sudden change in the man, and she took a while to come to her senses. I can't believe how quickly he changed. He's really something else, she thought to herself. "Miss Miller?" Isaac prompted when he noticed how silent the woman was. This girl isn't just silly; she's also really slow. She's such a fun target to tease.

After hearing about the research center, Isaac was concerned that his brand's credibility would be compromised once it appeared in other countries. Even with the agreement that they had, Isaac still

considered this to be a serious matter, especially since the announcements of the overseas research center had been made public. He figured that he would have to drop by to get some confirmations just to be sure. Perhaps it wasn't necessary for him to make a trip over, but he did it anyway.

Roxanna paid attention to the man's explanation for a while, but she found his concerns increasingly ridiculous after a while. However, she had no choice but to entertain the man's concerns since he was their client. He's the CEO of a company—how could he be so silly? What makes him think we'll breach the contract? We wouldn't dare to do so! Roxanna thought to herself. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
