Chapter 1366 Isaac''s Suspicious


    Roxanna wore a rather disdainful look on her face as she stared at the man sitting in her office.


    However, she tried her best to contain her emotions, as she didn''t want to show any distaste toward the


    man. She was worried that their partnership would be affected if Isaac saw the look in her eyes.


    However, Roxanna''s attempts at concealing her emotions made her seem like she was sympathizing


    with Isaac more than anything. This made Isaac rather confused—he wasn''t sure why the woman


    seemed to pity him. Did I make a wrong assumption? Well, this is just an excuse, anyway. I''m mainly


    here to help Colton ask about Nicole. There''s nothing wrong with that, is there? Isaac tried tofort


    himself. Regardless, he was certain that he had a valid reason to drop by.


    "Why do you keep looking at me like that, Miss Miller?" Isaac felt rather uneasy when Roxanna didn''t


    respond after a long time. She was simply staring at him with the same look of sympathy in her eyes.


    Roxanna returned to her senses then, and she realized how she might have gotten lost in her thoughts


    for a while. She hastily put on a pleasant and professional expression before exining herself. "You


    don''t have to worry about this, Mr. Quill. We will not breach or terminate the contract at all.


    Furthermore, we''ll definitely achieve what we''ve promised you guys. We''re earnest and responsible


    individuals even without the contact in ce."


    Roxanna hoped that Isaac would learn from his lesson after this time. She was concerned that he


    wouldn''t be able to maintain his position with an IQ like his. All of a sudden, Roxanna was reminded of


    some information that she had found about Isaac on the Inte. It''s true that the information online


    can''t be trusted. He sure is different from what was described online.


    Isaac didn''t know what was going on in Roxanna''s mind, but he could tell that it wasn''t anything good,


    because there was a rather disdainful look on the woman''s face. He met her gaze for a moment before


    he quickly looked away. He didn''t want to forget his actual reason for paying a visit. "Well, even though


    we''re just partners, and though I may not have the right to know more about your overseas research


    center, I''d still like to ask a few things about it. I want to know about your developments, as I''d like to


    use that information for further consideration in our future work together."


    Isaac spoke while observing the look on the woman''s face. He was hoping that he would be able to get


    something from her expression, and as he expected, Roxanna''s expression didn''t disappoint. Her facial


    features stiffened as she wondered why Isaac was inquiring for such information. However, she figured


    that it would not harm them if Isaac wanted to know more about thepany. After all, they both might


    benefit from it if theirpanies could form further partnerships.


    "Our overseas research center has already had some discussions about partnerships, but I can''t be


    sure about the details. If you wish to know more about this, I can hop into a meeting with some of the


    people from the overseas teams, and I can get back to you soon," Roxanna replied in a formal tone.


    She was careful not to reveal anything else, such as pieces of unnecessary information about Nicole.


    Isaac nodded. So far, everything that Roxanna had told him was information that he could obtain


    online. In fact, he felt like he had found more information on the Inte. "Well, if that''s the case, then I


    don''t have much more to say. I''ll head off now," he muttered. Then, he got to his feet to leave. Since he


    couldn''t get any information, he figured that there would be no point for him to stay around. He didn''t


    have a reason to sit in the woman''s office, either.

    Right then, Isaac noticed a few silly questions popping up in his mind. I should stop thinking about this


    nonsense, he thought to himself. Do I not have any control over my own mind? Meanwhile, Roxanna


    continued to observe the look on Isaac''s face. She couldn’t understand what was going on in his mind,


    but she tried to respond politely. "I have other matters to handle, Mr. Quill. You can see yourself out."


    Isaac returned to his senses and gave Roxanna a nod before he turned to leave. He was still


    ruminating over the unwee thoughts that had popped up in his mind earlier. I don''t know what''s up


    with me. I think I should head back to reflect on this and calm down for a bit, he thought.


    After watching Isaac leave her office, Roxanna let out a long sigh as she sank into her office chair.


    "He''s a handsome man, but he sure is dumb." Just momentster, she got to her feet and reached for


    her phone before typing out a chain of numbers on her screen. She had to tell Nicole about what


    happened that day, as she found Isaac rather suspicious.


    Soon enough, Roxanna''s call got through, and Nicole''s voice sounded from the other end of the line.


    "There''s something I''d like to talk to you about, Nicole."


    Nicole was surprised to hear the serious tone in Roxanna''s voice. They hadn''t spoken to each other for


    a while, and Nicole hadn''t expected the woman to seem so much stricter and moreposed.
