With everything well-prepared, Roxanna held the report and the gifts as she arrived at the entrance of Quill Corporation's office building. Standing there, she looked up at the towering building and let out a sigh.
Such a stark contrast.
However, the research center was no slouch either. While it might not have such towering buildings, the area was quite spacious, and the staff dormitories were also pleasant.
Roxanna nodded to herself affirmatively, but her confidence was soon shattered.
But then again, they have money.
Shaking her head, she stopped overthinking it and marched into the Quill Corporation office building with her things. Having made an appointment beforehand, the receptionist recognized her and led her to the dedicated elevator, ensuring she got in before pressing the button.
Taking a deep breath, Roxanna watched as the floor numbers increased. Her nerves started to get the better of her, much like the first time they had met.
Back then, she had admired him, never imagining he was this formidable.
Anxiety gnawed at her as she worried that this encounter might leave a negative impression on him, jeopardizing the potential collaboration. If it turned out her words had caused any harm, she would never forgive herself.
"Miss Miller, welcome. Mr. Quill has been waiting for your arrival." The secretary smiled and respectfully informed her upon seeing her.
Roxanna smiled and nodded in response, following the secretary toward Isaac's office. Along the way, many employees either discreetly observed her or blatantly stared. Roxanna couldn't fathom the reason behind it; she was merely here for a business discussion.
Did Quill Corporation's employees not encounter this kind of situation before?
Rolling her eyes internally, Roxanna held her head high and walked into the office without feeling the least bit bothered by their scrutiny.
"Good day, Mr. Quill," she greeted as she entered the office. To her surprise, Isaac was nowhere to be seen. The window was slightly ajar, allowing a gentle breeze to rustle the pages of the documents on the desk.
Seeing the nonchalant expression on Isaac's face caused Roxanna to swallow her anger. No, she couldn't afford to get angry now. If she did, all her efforts of the past few days would be in vain.
Taking a deep breath, she mustered a gentle smile and gracefully maintained her composure. "Mr. Quill, there's something I'd like to discuss with you today."
Isaac was slightly surprised by how calmly Roxanna took it. He had wanted to test her to see if he could rile her up.
"Sure, have a seat. Miss Miller, it must be tiring to stand," Isaac replied with a faint smile, his eyes holding a playful glint.
With that, Roxanna followed Isaac's suggestion and took a seat. She looked at him, momentarily dazed. He was quite different from how the rumors had painted him. He was actually a cunning and sly fox, yet he was rumored to be aloof and unapproachable.
That was a gross misjudgment.

What a waste of reading! This could have been an excellent novel if it hadn't skipped chapters after 531 and then everything is garbled. Get your act together if you still want a reading audience!!!...
