Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 1423

Chapter 1423 Tension

Roxanna watched as Isaac paced back and forth in her office. Soon, a sense of frustration bubbled within her, and she questioned whether this was her office or his.

Had she ever been this nonchalant in his office?

Suddenly, she couldn't help but feel a sense of injustice. She hadn't really taken the time to observe his office the last time she was there. Instead, she had always maintained a respectful distance. Yet, he was clearly different.

Little did she know that Isaac was merely feigning relaxation as he looked around. In truth, he was afraid that she would perceive his discomfort.

"Do your legal department employees always take this long?"

Still, the moment he noticed that she seemed to be loosening up a bit, he decided to tease her.

Now that she wasn't as tense, it was the perfect time to lighten the mood.

"What?"

Unfortunately, she was definitely still lost in her own thoughts. So, she couldn't quite understand what he was getting at.

"Forget it."

Thus, he simply shook his head as he wondered what was going on in her mind. Were his words really that difficult to grasp?

Knock. Knock. Knock.

Someone was at the door.

"Come in."

She responded without hesitation. At this point, the only people who would see her were from the legal department.

"The contract is on the desk. Review it. If there are no issues, Isaac and I will sign it immediately," she spoke as she gestured to the contract. Her actions were swift and decisive. It was evident that she wasn't one to waste any time.

Isaac sat nearby, a smirk playing at the corners of his mouth as he observed Roxanna in her element. He had to admit she was like a different person when she was focused on her work.

The lawyer nodded, picked up the contract, and began to read. Nonetheless, he didn't expect that Isaac was also present.

As the minutes ticked by, Roxanna sipped her coffee leisurely. As she held the cup, she seemed to recall something and glanced at Isaac.

His hands were empty, and he was just smiling at her.

Only then did she realize her oversight. She had forgotten to offer him a drink. So, she slowly rose, poured a cup of coffee for him, and placed it in front of him.
