Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1305 The Night Before Their Departure

Roxanna stiffened.

She could feel her cheeks flushing.

How mortifying!

"Oh. Got it." Roxanna wanted nothing more than to dig a hole and bury herself in it, but after seeing the employee's puzzled expression, she quickly responded.

She wasn't going to let the employee know just how awkward she felt. She simply couldn't!

The employee nodded doubtfully before leaving.

She wasn't sure if Roxanna understood what she said. After all, the latter had run off before she finished passing along the message.

Roxanna would be even more mortified if she knew what the employee was thinking.

"If the deal is a success, Nicole, we can leave without having to worry about the medical base."

Chloe only just found out that the deal was halfway to being finalized. She had been in the research center the whole time. Albert would not have let Chloe leave if Nicole hadn't summoned her back.

"Yeah. Once the deal with JL is finalized, the medical base will be fine as long as everyone focuses on their jobs, just like they did in the past. There won't be any insurmountable crises."

Nicole nodded. Though she claimed to be confident about leaving matters to Roxanna, she was still afraid to let Roxanna handle everything herself.

Therefore, she did her best to get everything in order before she left.

Roxanna was frozen outside the door. After hearing their conversation, her eyes grew a little misty.

They're still worried about me.

Roxanna only allowed herself to feel sad for a brief moment. She soon composed herself again.

I won't disappoint Nicole and Chloe. I won't give them any reason to worry about me.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

Roxanna slowly knocked on the door.

Nicole snapped out of her thoughts. She patted Chloe before getting up to open the door.

"Why did you ask me to rush back, Nicole? Is there something we need to discuss?"

Roxanna was careful with her movements. After all, Nicole was pregnant.

She led Nicole back to her seat and sat down beside her. The grim looks on both women's faces made her assume that something bad had happened.

Her expression grew solemn too as she quietly waited for Nicole to speak.

"Actually, no." Nicole's expression was serious, but as soon as she spoke, she started grinning.

Roxanna saw the smile on Nicole's face and quickly glanced at Chloe, only to find that a smile had broken out on Chloe's face too.

She finally realized that the two of them were pranking her.

"You two are so mean!"

Roxanna could barely speak but she forced those words out stiffly anyway. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

The three of them stared at each other for a second before they began to laugh. The room echoed with the sound of their laughter.

Evening fell.

As soon as dinner was over, Roxanna dragged Chloe along and declared her desire to sleep with Nicole tonight.

After all, it was their last night together and they didn't know when they would see each other again.

Despite calling Roxanna foolish, Chloe tagged along anyway.

It looked as if Roxanna was dragging Chloe over, but in reality, Roxanna barely exerted any force.

Nicole made the bed. She prepared three sets of pillows and blankets.

"Thankfully, the bed's big enough," she mused.

"Chloe and I are here, Nicole."

Roxanna marched into the room in excitement. When she saw the bed that was all set up, she couldn't resist throwing herself onto it.

"Go and wash up first, Roxanna," Chloe reminded with a faint smile as she fought the urge to laugh.

Nicole watched in silence, but it was obvious that she was in a good mood.

"Yes, yes. I know." Roxanna sat up and threw a resentful glare at Chloe before trudging reluctantly to the bathroom.

Chloe and Nicole smiled at each other. They understood each other without having to speak.

Roxanna readily accepted all of Chloe's nagging as she wouldn't be hearing it anymore for quite some time.

Alas, she was still too reluctant to part with them.
