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.
