Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1310 Stay Away From Isaac

"The location for the base is an extremely important decision. We should make some observations first. It's best if we find a place in the suburbs with a low-density population, just like our base back home."

Chloe made her suggestion while looking through the plan she came up with not too long ago.

Nicole was surprised by the woman's efficiency. She leaned in to take a look at the screen and couldn't help but feel taken aback.

Chloe had created a methodical plan that included the selection of the location and the construction work needed, as well as future development trends and possible partnerships. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

"You did a great job with the planning, Chloe!"

Nicole meant every word of her exclamation. She didn't expect such a surprise from Chloe.

"This is only my initial plan. I might have to make some changes according to the situation later on."

Chloe scratched her head sheepishly as she humbly responded.

She felt embarrassed by the sudden praise that Nicole heaped on her.

"When you said you were going to bring me along, I began to look into all the relevant information, but I wasn't able to come up with a solid plan yet. I only managed to pull one together after we boarded the plane. Once we land, we'll be able to get to work with clear goals in mind," Chloe added.

She wanted to show Nicole her efforts so that Nicole could trust her more.

She didn't want a pregnant Nicole to have to handle too much on her own.

Nicole nodded in agreement. Since Chloe had drawn up a plan, they would be able to work more efficiently.

Moments ago, Nicole had skimmed through the plan and found that she and Chloe agreed on a lot of things, though she didn't type them out on the computer.

Seems to me that I'll have an easier time since I have someone as attentive and methodical as Chloe with me.

…

Back in the hall, the group of them were still facing each other. Isaac and Colton had settled in quite comfortably.

Alas, the same could not be said for Roxanna. She felt as if she were sitting on a bed of needles.

"Everything is in order."

At last, the lawyer stood up and passed the contract back to Roxanna with a nod to confirm that she could sign it.

Roxanna nodded and took the contract. She skimmed through the contract before signing her name to it.

"Don't worry, Mr. Quill. There are cameras set up here. The contract is legally enforceable."

A thought had suddenly occurred to Roxanna, so she looked at Isaac and made that statement.

One of her tasks was to ensure that their business partner had nothing to worry about.

"Certainly. I trust you, Miss Miller. However, I do have a question. Does Miss Anderson know about this?"

Isaac casually brought up Nicole, all the while observing Roxanna.

Roxanna tensed up. Why is this Isaac guy so scary? I'm getting nervous for some reason.

"Rest assured, Mr. Quill. Nicole is aware of this."

Not only that but she was involved in the negotiations the entire time, Roxanna thought to herself.

She secretly pursed her lips as she categorized Isaac as one of the bad guys. I must stay away from guys like him.

"In that case, I have nothing to worry about."

Isaac nodded and acted as if he didn't notice Roxanna's pursed lips. Then, as if something had just occurred to him, he asked, "As a business partner, am I at liberty to know why Nicole has gone abroad?"

Roxanna was startled upon hearing that. She glanced at Colton and paused for a moment before responding evenly, "She has gone abroad to seek new opportunities. Rest assured, Mr. Quill. Our deal for the cosmetics line will proceed as usual."

She knew that if Nicole were here, the latter would have told Colton why she was going abroad too.

Roxanna was implicitly informing Isaac that it was best if he didn't try to pry into the reason for Nicole's departure, and that their agreement would go on.

Isaac and Colton had been in the business long enough to pick up on the subtext.

"Good. I have nothing to worry about, then. In that case, we won't keep you from your work any longer."

Isaac and Colton took their leave. They weren't going to stick around and be a nuisance.

After all, they got the information they came for.
