Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1378 Thorough Preparation

With everything well-prepared, Roxanna held the report and the gifts as she arrived at the entrance of Quill Corporation's office building. Standing there, she looked up at the towering building and let out a sigh.

Such a stark contrast.

However, the research center was no slouch either. While it might not have such towering buildings, the area was quite spacious, and the staff dormitories were also pleasant.

Roxanna nodded to herself affirmatively, but her confidence was soon shattered.

But then again, they have money.

Shaking her head, she stopped overthinking it and marched into the Quill Corporation office building with her things. Having made an appointment beforehand, the receptionist recognized her and led her to the dedicated elevator, ensuring she got in before pressing the button.

Taking a deep breath, Roxanna watched as the floor numbers increased. Her nerves started to get the better of her, much like the first time they had met.

Back then, she had admired him, never imagining he was this formidable.

Anxiety gnawed at her as she worried that this encounter might leave a negative impression on him, jeopardizing the potential collaboration. If it turned out her words had caused any harm, she would never forgive herself.

"Miss Miller, welcome. Mr. Quill has been waiting for your arrival." The secretary smiled and respectfully informed her upon seeing her.

Roxanna smiled and nodded in response, following the secretary toward Isaac's office. Along the way, many employees either discreetly observed her or blatantly stared. Roxanna couldn't fathom the reason behind it; she was merely here for a business discussion.

Did Quill Corporation's employees not encounter this kind of situation before?

Rolling her eyes internally, Roxanna held her head high and walked into the office without feeling the

least bit bothered by their scrutiny.

"Good day, Mr. Quill," she greeted as she entered the office. To her surprise, Isaac was nowhere to be seen. The window was slightly ajar, allowing a gentle breeze to rustle the pages of the documents on the desk.

"Mr. Quill?" Roxanna called out again, unable to locate Isaac's presence. She didn't dare to look around; she stood still and called out softly. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Behind her, Isaac stood silently, holding a cup of coffee as he observed her docile demeanor. A faint smile curled up on his lips.

Roxanna called out several times but received no response. Given the circumstances, she didn't dare to search around. She had heard that a CEO's office held many confidential matters, and if she misplaced something important, she couldn't bear the trouble it might bring to the research center.

"Miss Miller, look behind you. You won't find me if you keep searching that way," Isaac finally said, deciding not to tease her further. He walked to a chair in front of his desk and took a seat.

Feeling a mix of anxiety and exasperation, Roxanna watched Isaac calmly seated before her. Her irritation flared up, but she suppressed it.

Was he there all along? She had called out so many times, and he just pretended not to hear and watched her make a fool of herself?

Raising an eyebrow, Isaac looked at her, curious to see if this would provoke her.

Seeing the nonchalant expression on Isaac's face caused Roxanna to swallow her anger. No, she couldn't afford to get angry now. If she did, all her efforts of the past few days would be in vain.

Taking a deep breath, she mustered a gentle smile and gracefully maintained her composure. "Mr. Quill, there's something I'd like to discuss with you today."

Isaac was slightly surprised by how calmly Roxanna took it. He had wanted to test her to see if he could rile her up.

"Sure, have a seat. Miss Miller, it must be tiring to stand," Isaac replied with a faint smile, his eyes holding a playful glint.

With that, Roxanna followed Isaac's suggestion and took a seat. She looked at him, momentarily dazed. He was quite different from how the rumors had painted him. He was actually a cunning and sly fox, yet he was rumored to be aloof and unapproachable.

That was a gross misjudgment.
