Right Person, Wrong Time

I closed the deal in just half an hour!

Even as Roxanna left the place, she still couldn't believe what she just did.

Isaac had a faint smile on his face as he stared out the window and watched as Roxanna left. He seemed to be in a good mood.

When Simon saw the way his boss smiled, chills ran down his spine.

Usually, when the president of a company smiled like that, it meant that someone was about to suffer.

The situation is becoming even more amusing than I thought it'd be.

Isaac was still smiling. He had long since heard that Colton's ex-wife was in charge of the medical base.

While he didn't know why they had gotten a divorce, he had a fairly good understanding of his friend. He was certain that Colton must have done something to drive her off.

"What's next, Mr. Quill?" Simon asked respectfully.

Isaac cocked his eyebrows. "Prepare the agreement. This is going to be a great help to Quill Corporation."

"Yes, Mr. Quill." Simon nodded and left. Soon, he was out of Isaac's sight.

Meanwhile, Roxanna had a skip in her step, though the professional outfit she wore was a little too tight for comfort. It made her a little breathless as she cheerfully sought praise from the person on the other end of the earphone.

"How about that, huh, Nicole?"

Nicole couldn't help but chuckle at how pleased Roxanna seemed to be with herself.

"Hahaha!"

The sound of laughter made Roxanna frown in confusion. "Why are you laughing, Nicole? Didn't I do a good job?"

"Of course you did. You did great today, Roxanna. Once you get the contract, have the lawyers take a look at it. If there's nothing wrong with it, you can go ahead and sign it."

Nicole quickly complimented Roxanna on doing a good job.

She was not one to be stingy with her praise for those around her.

Roxanna nodded in acknowledgment, but after a brief lapse, the words registered and she asked, "Nicole, will they consider the contract valid if I'm the one who signs it?"

Everyone recognized Nicole as the person in charge of the medical case. It wouldn't be surprising if the other party didn't consider the contract valid if Roxanna, a mere administrator, signed it instead.

"It's fine. I've given you the authority to handle all domestic matters. Your signature is recognized in the eyes of the law. You can let the lawyers inform them about this. Hurry back."

As soon as Nicole finished speaking, she ended the call.

Click.

Roxanna didn't even get to respond before the call was cut off.

"What's the rush?" she grumbled with a pout.

Nevertheless, she picked up the pace. She knew that Nicole would have only urged her to hurry back because there was something important they needed to discuss.

All of a sudden, Roxanna remembered that Nicole was going to leave tomorrow and was reluctant to see her go.

Though she never showed such emotions in front of Chloe and Nicole, it didn't mean she didn't feel that way.

Roxanna sighed and looked up. She didn't even realize she had made her way back to the medical base.
