The video conference concluded as such. It was already 6:30 p.m. in Restrad. A seemingly simple contract issue had taken both parties over an hour to resolve.
"Miss Miller, it's been a pleasure working with you," Isaac stood up frankly, looking at the woman beside him who still seemed reluctant to look at him, and smiled.
Roxanna looked slightly puzzled, gazing at Isaac. Suddenly, she remembered Chloe's earlier words, "Chloe just mentioned adding your contact information, but we don't have it yet, so I can't give it to her."
Isaac's back paused slightly, and he slowly turned around, taking out his phone and displaying a QR code for Roxanna.
"Here, scan it to add me."
His voice was very gentle, unlike anything Roxanna had heard before.
"Thank you, Mr. Quill," she replied softly, not daring to look at Isaac's face. She quickly scanned the QR code and added him.
"Alright, I've added you. It's getting late, so I won't see you out," she said, her voice tinged with an inexplicable sadness. She couldn't understand why she felt upset after the successful cooperation.
Roxanna lowered her gaze, turned, and turned to leave.
Isaac was puzzled by her sudden change in mood. However, he had matters to attend to in his company and had to leave.
The office fell silent, save for the sound of the door closing behind her.
Roxanna let out a faint sigh, gazing at the figure outside the floor-to-ceiling window before exiting the office.
She didn't forget to forward Isaac's contact information to Chloe. At the moment of sending, her heart felt heavy.
Elsewhere, Nicole closed her laptop and looked at Chloe with a somewhat peculiar expression, then asked, "Chloe, why did you ask Isaac for his number?"
Nicole used to stay up much later in the past, but in recent months, due to her pregnancy, she had been going to bed early. However, the pregnancy-related morning sickness often disturbed her sleep, so staying up a little late wasn't a big deal.
Despite Nicole's reassurance, Chloe's lips trembled slightly, unsure if her thoughts were rational.
She had always been adept at understanding people's thoughts. Initially, she thought she was overly sensitive, but her speculations had always turned out to be true, including the major incident at the base.
"Chloe, go on. It's okay," Nicole urged gently, noticing that Chloe seemed lost in thought.
Chloe hesitated for a moment, then sighed. "I don't believe someone like Isaac wouldn't be interested in Roxanna, who is so straightforward and lacking in cunning. It's just that everything seems too coincidental, which makes me start to doubt Isaac's motives."
She paused, then added, "Roxanna is too naive. She doesn't understand my concerns. I just want to keep an eye on them all the time, hoping to spot something and intervene in time."
