Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1421 The Rumor Mill

Isaac slowly raised his head at the comment, his gaze falling on the secretary without uttering a word. Then, he placed his pen on the desk.

When the secretary noticed Isaac's gaze, he momentarily assumed there was something amiss with his appearance and quickly checked his immaculate suit.

So, he couldn't help but wonder why Isaac was staring at him when he found nothing wrong with his attire. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"Mr. Quill, is there a problem?"

The secretary asked, his eyes reflecting his confusion about Isaac's silent contemplation.

Isaac suddenly realized his secretary was rather dense. "I'll deliver it personally. There's no need for your involvement."

The secretary instantly recognized his blunder upon hearing Isaac's response.

Who was Isaac Quill? How could he ever make such a fundamental error?

"Yes." The secretary didn't dare to linger any longer and hastily fled the office.

He hoped that Isaac would overlook his mistake this time.

It wasn't until the secretary returned to his desk that he realized Isaac always treated Roxanna differently. Yet, he couldn't quite pinpoint why.

Isaac glanced at the documents on the desk as he thought things over. Then, he picked up the documents and exited the office.

The incident at the cafe yesterday had already caused a buzz in the office. This was the first time a scandal involving Isaac had emerged, and the other party was the head of the medical base. How could this not be shocking?

"Did you hear? Isaac and Miss Miller spent a considerable time in the cafe yesterday. Their relationship is probably still fresh. They're practically inseparable."

The company's employees were all abuzz with gossip. They chatted daily about which mistress the bosses of other companies were with today. Now that they had caught wind of their own boss' affairs, how could they let it pass?

"I also heard that Isaac invested in the medical base. Want to guess how much? Well, don't. It's two hundred million!"

Another gossip enthusiast couldn't help but gasp in shock upon hearing this.

"Doesn't the medical base not meet our investment criteria? How could Isaac make such a fundamental error..."

An employee was puzzled as he rubbed his hungry stomach.

It was lunchtime, and everyone was preparing to eat with their colleagues.

"How naive could you possibly be? It's definitely because of love!" A nearby employee immediately retorted in a somewhat exasperated tone.

Isaac, clutching the documents, appeared in everyone's sight. His face was adorned with a faint smile,

indicating his good mood.

He was now on his way to finalize the contract with Roxanna. The thought of seeing her so soon filled his heart with joy.

He probably didn't realize that his feelings for her had long crossed the line of simple fondness. It was no longer a mere curiosity but a deeper emotion.

Isaac didn't use a chauffeur. Instead, he drove away by himself.

After Isaac left, the crowd that had fallen to a hush immediately became lively again.

"Why is Isaac smiling so happily? Although he usually smiles, this feels completely different!"

"Yeah, could it be that he's going to see Miss Miller?"

Immediately, an employee speculated about Isaac's intentions, but it was just a conjecture, and no one took it seriously.

"Oh, I'm sure he is."

Although it was a conjecture, who could resist getting emotionally invested in some romance? So, they quickly concurred without even bothering to fact-check.

The secretary was about to enjoy his lunch when he overheard various rumors, some of which left him utterly stunned.

There was even a rumor saying that Roxanna was Isaac's long-time fiancée...

Isaac stood at the entrance of the medical base. When he saw that there was no one inside, he couldn't help but dawdle outside. Just as he was about to approach the security guards to ask for assistance, they greeted him without prompting, "Isaac, right? Please come in."

He had been frequenting the place these past few days, and the security guards were no longer surprised by his appearance. They had long noticed Isaac standing at the entrance and were wondering why he hadn't approached their doors. Just as they were about to inquire whether he needed help, they caught sight of Isaac sauntering over.

Could it be that he was interested in their boss? The two security guards thought to themselves, exchanging a knowing smile.

That wouldn't be too bad, as the two seemed rather well-matched.
