Right Person, Wrong Time

The employee at the door walked in, placing the documents on the desk somewhat hesitantly. "Roxanna, these are some preferences we managed to gather about Mr. Quill."

She looked at Roxanna, feeling a bit uneasy. After all, they had spent the entire night investigating and had only found Isaac's basic preferences.

Roxanna, excited about the results, didn't pay much attention to what the employee said. She immediately opened the documents and began to examine the contents closely.

"Send a message to Mr. Quill and tell him we need to discuss matters regarding the production line. Our research has yielded successful results." Roxanna nodded in satisfaction. For her, this information was more than enough. Her goal was to please Isaac and secure collaboration with him.

The employee nodded and left the room, not daring to disobey Roxanna's orders.

Since Nicole and Chloe had left, Roxanna had transformed into a different person–serious and determined. Yet, her employees didn't mind this new side of her; in fact, they liked it. After all, who wouldn't appreciate a boss who could lead them to success?

Once the employee left, Roxanna carefully examined the information. If she could keep Isaac under her influence, their future collaborations would be as smooth as butter.

Back in Florend, 'Nicole, I'm heading out. Stay home and take care of yourself. Don't move around too much,' were Chloe's final words before she left for work.

Chloe had taken to repeating these lines to Nicole every day before leaving for work. She would keep saying them until Nicole became impatient before she left. Of course, Nicole's apparent impatience was just a facade because deep down, she felt truly happy.

Taking a deep breath, Chloe prepared to discuss Nicole's situation with Kendrick. A few days ago, she hadn't told him everything, only mentioning that Nicole wasn't feeling well. She needed time to figure out how to approach the topic with him.

"Miss Yelton. please come this way." A secretary approached, looking at Chloe with a bit of discomfort but leading her into Kendrick's office nonetheless. Since the arrival of Chloe and Nicole, Kendrick's usual behavior had taken on a significant turn. This had made the staff uneasy.

Chloe nodded slightly and followed the secretary. She had always wondered whether Kendrick had some strange quirks, considering that the secretaries were always women. Is Kendrick into office romance, perhaps?

Such thoughts made Chloe suddenly reluctant to cooperate with Kendrick. The idea of working with someone like that sent shivers down her spine.

"Miss Yelton, is something the matter? Mr. Hofstead is inside. You can go right in." The secretary guided Chloe to Kendrick's office door, intending to bring her directly in. However, she sensed something was off and turned around to find Chloe lost in thought.
