Time in the room seemed to stand still. The two occupants remained frozen in their positions, neither willing to interrupt the other.
Upon hearing Isaac's words, she instinctively knew it was somehow connected to Kendrick.
However, she didn't mind if he refused to tell her the details. His company was all she needed.
Isaac was lost in the intoxicating scent of Roxanna. She hadn't applied any perfume, yet her natural fragrance was surprisingly appealing.
At that moment, he realized that any scent from her was a delight to his senses.
"Alright, I must leave now," he announced.
Glancing at the wall clock, Isaac noted the late hour. If he didn't leave soon, he would have to miss his sleep tonight.
Roxanna was taken aback, but she had anticipated this. She knew from Nicole and others how demanding their schedules had become.
After all, they had Wendy on their side.
"Mhm, you should head back. We'll catch up when we find time. Once this situation is resolved, we can be together without any distractions."
Roxanna nodded and didn't insist on his stay. She held his hand, intending to walk him out.
Isaac followed her in silence. They strolled towards the entrance of the medical base, one after the other.
The entrance was deserted, as everyone was out for dinner.
Roxanna paused at the entrance, watching Isaac walk ahead.
Just as she thought he wouldn't look back, he spun around and embraced her tightly.
"Isaac, once we get through this busy phase, we should go on a proper date," she suggested, patting his back and smiling gently.
Isaac nodded and released her, giving her a lingering look before he turned around. He didn't stop until he reached his car.

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!!!...
