Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 1422

Chapter 1422 Slumber

Isaac cast a wary glance at the two men as he stepped into the medical base. There was an unsettling aura about these security guards, though he couldn't quite pinpoint what it was.

Regardless, he reminded himself that the contract signing was of utmost importance.

So, he quickened his stride towards the office building and found his thoughts straying from the contract. He was keen to see Roxanna, curious about her current activities, and her reaction upon his arrival.

He quickly located Roxanna's office since he had visited numerous times. Thus, he was well-acquainted with its whereabouts.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

Isaac gently rapped on the door. Alas, there was no response from within after several knocks and a lengthy wait.

Could she be absent from the office?

He had specifically inquired with an employee downstairs earlier, who had assured him that she was indeed in her office.

So, he hesitated momentarily before cautiously pushing the door open. The sight that met his eyes was Roxanna, slumped over her desk. The window behind her was ajar, allowing a gentle breeze to brush against her face.

She had dozed off here, seemingly unconcerned about the risk of catching a cold.

A small smile played at the corners of Isaac's mouth at the sight. Then, he quietly approached her and spotted a thin coat nearby.

Hence, he picked up the coat and gently draped it over her.

Her face in slumber was serene, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly in the breeze.

He swallowed hard, unable to tear his gaze away from her.

Perhaps she had sensed a stranger's presence in the safety of her office as her eyes fluttered open. When he saw that she was roused from her sleep, he quickly averted his gaze, feigning interest in the view outside.

Roxanna, still groggy from her nap, didn't notice anything unusual. Instead, she couldn't help but feel puzzled as she rubbed the sleepiness away from her eyes.

She distinctly remembered leaving it on the couch before she dozed off. Could she have been so drowsy that she didn't recall putting it on herself?

"Are you awake?"
