Chapter 1423 Tension


    Roxanna watched as Isaac paced back and forth in her office. Soon, a sense of frustration bubbled


    within her, and she questioned whether this was her office or his.


    Had she ever been this nonchnt in his office?


    Suddenly, she couldn''t help but feel a sense of injustice. She hadn''t really taken the time to observe his


    office thest time she was there. Instead, she had always maintained a respectful distance. Yet, he


    was clearly different.


    Little did she know that Isaac was merely feigning rxation as he looked around. In truth, he was


    afraid that she would perceive his difort.


    "Do your legal department employees always take this long?"


    Still, the moment he noticed that she seemed to be loosening up a bit, he decided to tease her.


    Now that she wasn''t as tense, it was the perfect time to lighten the mood.

    "What?"


    Unfortunately, she was definitely still lost in her own thoughts. So, she couldn''t quite understand what


    he was getting at.


    "Forget it."


    Thus, he simply shook his head as he wondered what was going on in her mind. Were his words really


    that difficult to grasp?


    Knock. Knock. Knock.


    Someone was at the door.


    "Come in."


    She responded without hesitation. At this point, the only people who would see her were from the legal


    department.


    "The contract is on the desk. Review it. If there are no issues, Isaac and I will sign it immediately," she


    spoke as she gestured to the contract. Her actions were swift and decisive. It was evident that she


    wasn''t one to waste any time.


    Isaac sat nearby, a smirk ying at the corners of his mouth as he observed Roxanna in her element.


    He had to admit she was like a different person when she was focused on her work.


    Thewyer nodded, picked up the contract, and began to read. Nheless, he didn''t expect that


    Isaac was also present.


    As the minutes ticked by, Roxanna sipped her coffee leisurely. As she held the cup, she seemed to


    recall something and nced at Isaac.


    His hands were empty, and he was just smiling at her.


    Only then did she realize her oversight. She had forgotten to offer him a drink. So, she slowly rose,


    poured a cup of coffee for him, and ced it in front of him.


    "Isaac, have some coffee while you wait."


    This coffee was her favorite. Frankly, it felt wasteful to let him drink such fine coffee.


    s, Isaac was a guest, and it was only right to serve him.


    She released a soft sigh when she thought of time. It seemed she would have to stock other types of


    coffee in her office.


    Meanwhile, Isaac raised an eyebrow as he observed her shifting expressions. It was then that he


    noticed a tinge of regret on her face. What is she thinking?


    "Alright."


    Thewyer handed the contract to Roxanna.


    The contract was wless. Plus, some of the terms were even in favor of the base, which was


    surprising. Perhaps Miss Miller had made some private arrangements with Isaac.


    "Fantastic."


    She epted it, signed her name on the contract without hesitation, and handed the other copy to


    Isaac.


    "Isaac, I''ve signed the contract."


    He nodded in acknowledgment, took the contract, and examined the signature on it.


    Roxanna couldn''t help but exhale a sigh of relief. There shouldn''t be any issues now, right?


    Just as she was about to let her guard down, Isaac suddenly leaned in with the document. As a result,


    their proximity was rmingly close. It was as if they would be pressed tightly together if he had moved


    just a bit further.


    By the time she could snap back to her senses, he had already taken the other contract from her.


    "Isaac, what are you doing?"


    She frowned slightly, feeling both annoyed and embarrassed. There were still people here! What would


    she do if the rumor mill started to spew more nonsense about them?


    Thewyer sensed the tension in the room. So, he coughed lightly and said, "Miss Miller, I have other


    matters to attend to, so I''ll take my leave now."


    With that, he turned and exited the office without another word.


    Roxanna became even more flustered upon seeing thewyer''s reaction. She was so vexed that she


    ended up ring at Isaac. It was a much more natural look than whatever she was sporting earlier.


    "I haven''t signed the contract yet, so this isn''t valid. How can we proceed with our coboration?" Isaac


    stated calmly as he signed both contracts.
