Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1393 The Solution

The atmosphere in the room was heavy as Chloe and Nicole sat next to each other. The topic they just discussed was something they had never talked about all along, but it existed in both their hearts nonetheless.

"Got it, Nicole. I'll do as you say," replied Chloe, her face darkening. This proved that the incident Nicole was thinking about was about to start ahead of time—it was starting before the research center could get stronger.

"However, if Beryl asks about me like he did last night, don't tell him anything."

Nicole nodded, finally bringing up the matter of Beryl talking to Chloe about her.

The two didn't talk about other things.

"Chloe, it's time for dinner. Let's eat. I'm hungry."

Nicole broke the silence first. She turned and smiled at Chloe as she spoke, pretending as if nothing had happened just now.

Chloe paused briefly as she looked at Nicole. A moment later, she smiled and said, "Sure, Nicole."

Such a situation would happen often in the future, so they had to solve these problems one by one.

Meanwhile, the following day in Restrad, Roxanna received an initial contract from Quill Corporation.

She had to admit that huge companies were quite efficient when it came to such things.

Roxanna couldn't help but be amazed at the speed Quill Corporation worked. Still, she didn't forget to take a photo of the contract and send it to Nicole, who was abroad. She also passed the contract to the legal department at the research center for initial review. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

After this was done, Roxanna sat back in her chair. He didn't come this time.

Roxanna gazed out the window, and Isaac's face instantly appeared in her mind.

"Why the long face, Miss Miller? Are you disappointed that I didn't come?"

A familiar man's voice rang out behind her.

When Roxanna heard that, she hastily turned around to see Isaac's face right in front of her. She rolled her eyes and said, "It's just a small matter, so there's no need for you to come here, Mr. Quill."

For some reason, something between them seemed to have changed a little when they met this time. However, Roxanna couldn't put a finger on it.

"Have you read the contract? What do you think?"

Isaac took a seat beside her. There was a faint smile on his face.

Roxanna's face turned red, and she hated it when Isaac behaved like that. It was a proper question, but it sounded wrong when he asked it.

"I've read the contract, and everything seems good. I have to show it to Nicole later, though. I don't

have the final say," replied Roxanna in exasperation. She didn't seem to be so scared of him now.

She didn't even know why she would be scared of him in the first place.

"Sure, I'll wait here for the results. If possible, why don't you start a video call with Nicole here? We can have a chat."

Isaac nodded and stopped smiling as he suggested earnestly.

Roxanna was stunned for a moment. "Let's do it tomorrow since I'm clocking out for today. Is 5.00PM okay?"

She paused, then continued, "She must be six months in. It wouldn't be good to wake her up in the middle of the night. Please understand."

Isaac widened his eyes, but he didn't say anything about it. He simply stood up quietly.

"I'll be leaving, then. I still have some matters to attend to at the company."

Roxanna was a little disappointed when she heard that, but she didn't express it. She just nodded calmly and said nothing.

When the door to the office closed, the question finally occurred to her. What did Isaac come here for?

He teased her a little, then said he wanted to talk to Nicole—that was it.

Roxanna stood at the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office and managed to catch sight of Isaac's

leaving figure. She fell deep into thought.

While Roxanna was pondering, Isaac suddenly turned around and looked in her direction.

Roxanna took a subconscious step backward, then turned around.

She felt like she was getting exposed for staring longingly at someone.

However, she quickly realized that when Nicole was renovating the office, the glass was made to be anti-theft. One wouldn't be able to peer in from outside, but it was possible to look outside from within.
