Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1309 Watch Yourself

Roxanna was rather listless as she headed back to the medical base. She wanted to stay in her room for a while.

However, before she could head over to the dorms, an employee rushed over to stop her.

"Roxanna, someone's in the hall asking to see Miss Anderson. We told them that she had left, so they asked to see you instead. We can't get them to leave."

The employee was fretting. They didn't know what to do.

It was their first time encountering something like this. They didn't know how to deal with this situation.

Roxanna was startled at first, but she then said, "Got it. I'll head over to the hall. You can get on with your work." Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Her voice was completely calm. Why is someone looking for Nicole now? Why are they insisting on seeing her after finding out that she is not around?

Roxanna let out a soft sigh and headed to the hall.

She had to deal with these things before she even had the time to get over her sadness.

"Who is it? Nicole has left. If you want to talk to her, you'll have to wait until she gets back."

A gloomy Roxanna walked into the hall and called out indifferently. She wasn't keen on entertaining whoever it was that came.

"You seem a little different compared to the way you were during our meeting yesterday, Miss Miller."

She regained some life in her when she heard the familiar voice.

She looked up and saw Isaac getting up from the couch with an unreadable smile.

Yikes! What's he doing here?

"If I recall correctly, Mr. Quill, our meeting went quite well. I didn't expect you to bring the contract over yourself today. What an honor it is for us to have you come over."

Roxanna didn't panic. Instead, she greeted him cordially.

Before Isaac could speak, the man who had been sitting beside him stood up and turned toward Roxanna.

Roxanna was taken aback. She assumed that Isaac had come with one of JL's lawyers. She didn't expect Colton to be here instead.

What is he of all people doing here?

She was beginning to get a headache. Whatever you worry about is indeed bound to happen.

Colton made himself presentable and dragged Isaac over first thing in the morning just so he could see Nicole.

He didn't think she would leave this early.

"You're telling me that Nicole has really left?" After a brief moment of hesitation, Colton voiced his question.

Roxanna nodded. Is he still hung up on Nicole? I hope not. Nicole has already decided to focus on her career.

She secretly prayed that Colton wasn't hung up on Nicole and was merely expressing his concern as an ex-husband.

The latter seemed extremely unlikely, but it didn't stop her from hoping it was the case anyway.

Isaac didn't speak. He simply observed Roxanna's reaction in silence.

My, my. Even Nicole's friends don't want them to be together anymore.

"I brought the contract over. Do you want to get your lawyers to take a look at it?"

Isaac cut them off and held a folder out to Roxanna as he spoke.

Roxanna nodded and said a few words to the employee waiting on the side.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Quill. Our lawyer will be right out."

Isaac nodded in response before dragging Colton back to their seats.

The subject of Nicole was left at that.

Roxanna exhaled in relief. As long as he doesn't ask about Nicole again.

She wouldn't know what to do if he did ask more questions.

Meanwhile, Colton knew what his friend was thinking. Since Isaac had cut him off, he kept quiet and took his seat.

Roxanna didn't want to engage either one of them in conversation, so she pretended to be occupied in a discussion with one of the staff.

Isaac saw right through her, but he didn't expose her.

Soon enough, the lawyer came over. For the first time ever, Roxanna wished the lawyer could have taken his time.

The lawyer took the contract from her and studied it carefully.

Everyone else waited around without saying anything.

Meanwhile, the flight was going to take some time.

Nicole and Chloe didn't sit around idly. Instead, they discussed work so that they could hit the ground running when they landed.
