Right Person, Wrong Time Chapter 1379

Chapter 1379 Lost in Thought

"Miss Miller?" Isaac furrowed his brows when Roxanna remained silent with her gaze fixed on him.

Is she angry? Is she so upset that she doesn't even want to speak? Otherwise, why is she just staring at me without

saying anything for no reason?

Thinking this, Isaac felt an inexplicable sense of annoyance in the depths of his heart. He couldn't help but feel that

what he had done was wrong.

"Apologies, Mr. Quill. I got lost in thought." Roxanna snapped back to attention, her face flushing slightly. She

lowered her head, placed the report she had brought on the table in front of them, and began to speak confidently.

"Over the past couple of weeks, we've hit another milestone in our research. We've had similar studies before, but

we hadn't found the right partner for collaboration, so those were put on hold. However, meeting you, Mr. Quill,

prompted us to revisit our past research. As a result, we've accelerated our efforts, and now let's take a look

here..."

Isaac watched Roxanna speak with confidence, momentarily lost in thought. Indeed, one shone best when they

talked about their expertise with poise and rationality.

The conversation between the two flowed smoothly from there. Roxanna easily answered Isaac's various questions,

and her responses were convincing enough to persuade him.

"Very well, let's proceed with this plan then. Miss Miller, I'll leave the next steps to you. I hope you can show us

desirable results." Isaac nodded in satisfaction. Closing the document in his hands, he placed it on the table and

looked at Roxanna thoughtfully, his lips parting slowly.

"Miss Miller?" Isaac furrowed his brows when Roxanna remained silent with her gaze fixed on him.

Roxanna heaved a sigh of relief, gathering the documents and glancing at the gift box she had placed on the

ground. Her gaze shifted slightly.

"Mr. Quill, you did mention the possibility of further collaboration during our last meeting, didn't you?" she

tentatively inquired, hoping for confirmation. If Isaac acknowledged it, she would take out the gift box and present it

to him.

"Yes," Isaac responded, met with Roxanna's hopeful gaze. He couldn't possibly refuse that fervent look, and besides,

he did indeed have intentions in that direction. Of course, the collaboration wasn't solely because of Nicole.

Roxanna's capabilities and the research center's collective work ethic had convinced him.

With such a promising partner, why wouldn't he seize the opportunity? He was a businessman, after all.

Roxanna reached down and retrieved the gift box from the floor, confidently handing it to Isaac. "These are some

gifts I selected based on your preferences. I hope you like them."



Isaac was slightly surprised by the gift. He hadn't expected Roxanna to prepare something like this. Initially, he

thought she was about to take it away, which was why she hadn't immediately placed it on the table. Little did he

know it was meant for him.

This revelation caught Isaac off guard.

"As for the overseas research center, Mr. Quill, it's something you should get to know better, especially since we'll

be working more closely in the future," Roxanna continued without observing his expression, her attention on her

explanation instead.

"The overseas research center is still in its early stages. The facility is currently being established in collaboration

with a foreign company. Our research is being conducted in one of their major facilities. Our partnership is

straightforward: they supply the necessary research materials, and we collaborate on research. However, they fully

respect our opinions and input in the collaboration, so you can rest assured on that front."

Roxanna hadn't spoken this much in a while, mainly because her daily routine didn't require too much talking.

Speaking so much all of a sudden made her mouth feel a bit dry.

Isaac was observant, noticing Roxanna repeatedly licking her lips. His lips curved slightly as he leaned forward and

poured a cup of tea for her.

"I'm not sure what you prefer to drink, Miss Miller, so I prepared a cup of tea for you," Isaac said with a smile.

Realizing that he had overlooked this, he couldn't help but laugh at his own lack of attentiveness. He knew they had

been talking for quite some time, yet he hadn't even offered her a drink.
