Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1419 The Alliance

Isaac savored a sip of his coffee within the confines of the private room as his gaze fell on the cup across from him. The same cup that was touched by a woman's lips. Soon, a faint smile played at the corners of his mouth.

The proposition Roxanna had brought up was something he and Colton had previously considered. However, at that time, Colton had hinted at the emergence of a traitor within the medical base.

The exact cause remained a mystery, but the issue was eventually resolved. Now that they had independently arrived at this solution, he did not need to broach the subject in a manner that painted him as a villain seeking to seize their medical base.

Soon, there was a stir outside the door.

This time, she didn't bother knocking. Instead, she gently pushed the door open, sauntered in, and took a seat opposite Isaac.

Isaac's smile faded as he silently observed her, patiently awaiting her response.

As long as the women agreed to his conditions, the two hundred million would be transferred instantly.

"Isaac, about the contract, we..."

Roxanna lifted her gaze to meet Isaac's eyes. She had barely begun her sentence when he interjected, "Alright, I'll draft the contract. You can review it later to ensure that it's satisfactory. As a future shareholder, you can always approach me if the base encounters any difficulties."

Isaac swiftly took control of the conversation. He didn't want to dally any longer. Once this matter was settled, he would immediately contact Colton, who was abroad.

"Ah, okay."

Frankly, she was slightly taken aback. She couldn't fathom why Isaac was in such a rush, seemingly more so than herself.

Still, since Isaac was being strangely considerate of their circumstances, she had no further objections to the matter.

"Then, Isaac, I have some matters to attend to at the base. I'll be taking my leave." Roxanna gestured towards the door.

"Okay," he responded with a smile.

She cautiously moved toward the door. When she saw that he made no attempt to stop her, she finally felt comfortable enough to depart.

It's like he's a changed man or something, Roxanna thought as she descended the stairs with a contemplative expression.

As soon as she reached the ground floor, she felt a multitude of eyes upon her.

Roxanna was more than accustomed to this. She often felt that the employees of this company had never seen a woman prior to this. Perhaps, to be more precise, they had never seen a woman in

Isaac's company.

Otherwise, why would so many people stare at her merely for discussing business with Isaac?

Suddenly, her thoughts drifted back to the untouched dessert on the table. If he understood a woman's heart so well, why didn't he have a woman in his life?

The instant Roxanna left the private room, Isaac promptly dialed Colton, who was abroad. Alas, he received no answer, which left him disgruntled.

However, he finally noticed that she hadn't touched the dessert on the table.

Seeing this, Isaac felt a pang of disappointment. Was he so intimidating that she couldn't eat at all, or did she simply not like them?

But these were all items he had specifically requested from the staff here. They even swore up and down that these desserts were the ones that girls usually adored.

Isaac suddenly felt rather dispirited. After all, she seemed somewhat fearful of him, which dampened his spirits.

Little did he know that his expression earlier had terrified her out of her wits. It was so scary that Roxanna had only dared to take a sip. She didn't dare to drink more, let alone eat anything.

Nevertheless, she relayed the good news to Chloe and Nicole. By the time she did, Chloe had already returned to the apartment. Today's progress had been very promising, which was excellent news for all of them.

Chloe excitedly discussed the next steps with Nicole. If Nicole hadn't been exhausted and in need of rest, Chloe certainly wouldn't have let Nicole leave until she had said her fill.

Nicole watched Chloe exit her room, a smile tugging at her lips. This was indeed good news for the medical base.

However, if Kendrick discovered this, he would likely deduce their stance. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Of course, it wasn't exactly an issue, as it could also serve as a warning to Kendrick. A sign that he couldn't act recklessly, especially with her keeping a close eye.

Once she had sorted through her thoughts, she finished her usual glass of milk, turned over, and settled into bed. Perhaps her mind was finally at ease as she quickly drifted off to sleep.
