Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1424 Misunderstanding

Roxanna felt a blush creeping up her cheeks in a momentary lapse of composure.

She was the only one who had signed the document earlier, a detail she had inadvertently overlooked due to her nerves.

Isaac signed the contract and placed a copy of it on the table. "Alright. If that's all, I'll be taking my leave."

With that said, he turned and exited the office.

Roxanna stared at the contract on the table as if it still held the warmth of Isaac Quill. He was such an enigmatic man.

"Miss Miller, the contract…"

Upon seeing Isaac leave, the lawyer mustered up the courage to step forward and cautiously inquired about the document on the table.

He could not help but feel that Roxanna was more challenging to deal with than Nicole, especially with how frequently Isaac visited her.

"Okay. Thank you for your hard work."

She had no energy to think about anything else. She nodded silently before turning her attention back to the matters at the base.

Seeing this, the lawyer picked up the document and exited the office.

He was somewhat aware of the recent happenings in the company. It was likely that the multitude of issues was leaving her in a rather agitated mood. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Meanwhile, at Hofstead Corporation in another country.

"Darcy, you look stunning today."

As Darcy walked through the company building, she was showered with compliments and praises. Things had been like this for a few days now.

A smug smile spread across her lips. This was the effect she desired.

However, she was running out of money. At that thought, Darcy frowned. Ever since that day, Kendrick had been treating her like he always had, with no noticeable changes.

This made her uneasy.

"Darcy, are you going out for dinner with Kendrick today? I heard he made a restaurant reservation."

An employee from the secretary department came to congratulate Darcy with his face full of joy.

He believed that Kendrick wanted to surprise Darcy, which was why he entrusted such an important task to him. Since he owed his promotion to Darcy, he naturally wanted to please her.

As Darcy was contemplating whether Kendrick was deceiving her, the new information made her heart flutter with happiness.

Did this mean that what Kendrick said that day was true?

"Keep a hold of your tongue."

While Darcy seemed to be reprimanding the employee on the surface, her voice was actually filled with pride.

As soon as she finished speaking, Darcy walked past the employee to sit down at her desk. Her every move exuded the air of someone who owned the place.

The employee happily returned to his seat. This promotion was a chance he had been granted by luck, so he could not let it slip through his fingers.

Darcy's reputation within the company grew exponentially. She had always liked to keep a high profile, but now she was even more so.

As the saying went, oppression bred rebellion.

Many female employees were dissatisfied with Darcy's behavior, but with Darcy at the height of her popularity, they could only growl in silence.

With Darcy's temperament, she would certainly not stoop to their level.

With a stack of documents in hand, she walked over to Kendrick's office door. Her hand, poised to knock, halted mid-air.

Was she now his girlfriend? If so, could the rule of knocking before entering be abolished?

After all, she was the woman he liked. She should be an exception, right?

With that thought in mind, her hand fell down to reach for the doorknob, and she opened the door.

With her head held high, she walked toward Kendrick. "Mr. Hofstead, I have a few documents that need your approval."

Kendrick looked up at her and completely ignored the documents in her hand as he stared at her.

As if he was trying to decipher something from Darcy's expression, his eyes were deep and captivating.

Silence fell as their eyes locked while everything seemed to freeze.
