Chapter 1403 Doubt
The video conference concluded as such. It was already 6:30 p.m. in Restrad. A seemingly simple contract issue
had taken both parties over an hour to resolve.
"Miss Miller, it's been a pleasure working with you," Isaac stood up frankly, looking at the woman beside him who
still seemed reluctant to look at him, and smiled.
Roxanna looked slightly puzzled, gazing at Isaac. Suddenly, she remembered Chloe's earlier words, "Chloe just
mentioned adding your contact information, but we don't have it yet, so I can't give it to her."
Isaac's back paused slightly, and he slowly turned around, taking out his phone and displaying a QR code for
Roxanna.
"Here, scan it to add me."
His voice was very gentle, unlike anything Roxanna had heard before.

added him.
"Alright, I've added you. It's getting late, so I won't see you out," she said, her voice tinged with an inexplicable
sadness. She couldn't understand why she felt upset after the successful cooperation.
Roxanna lowered her gaze, turned, and turned to leave.
Isaac was puzzled by her sudden change in mood. However, he had matters to attend to in his company and had to
leave.
The office fell silent, save for the sound of the door closing behind her.
Roxanna let out a faint sigh, gazing at the figure outside the floor-to-ceiling window before exiting the office.
She didn't forget to forward Isaac's contact information to Chloe. At the moment of sending, her heart felt heavy.
Elsewhere, Nicole closed her laptop and looked at Chloe with a somewhat peculiar expression, then asked, "Chloe,
why did you ask Isaac for his number?"
In reality, Nicole had seen through Roxanna's little scheme, but in such situations, she always enjoyed teasing
Roxanna a bit.
She had everything under control but hadn't expected Chloe to request Isaac's contact information afterward.
Nicole didn't believe Chloe had developed an interest in Isaac. She was more concerned that Chloe might discover
some dangerous factors related to Isaac in Roxanna's eyes. After all, Chloe had always been more astute in judging
people.
Thinking about this, images of the person who had been thrown into a prison cell flashed in Nicole's mind.
"I might be overthinking this, but have you also noticed what Roxanna is up to?" Chloe's movements stiffened
slightly, and she turned to look at Nicole.
Initially, she thought Nicole was oblivious to Roxanna's intentions, but if Nicole was really oblivious, she wouldn't be
asking Chloe about it now.
"Yeah, but Chloe, you've never been one to overthink. Go on, we still have time," Nicole reassured, glancing at the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmclock.
Nicole used to stay up much later in the past, but in recent months, due to her pregnancy, she had been going to
bed early. However, the pregnancy-related morning sickness often disturbed her sleep, so staying up a little late
wasn't a big deal.
Despite Nicole's reassurance, Chloe's lips trembled slightly, unsure if her thoughts were rational.
She had always been adept at understanding people's thoughts. Initially, she thought she was overly sensitive, but
her speculations had always turned out to be true, including the major incident at the base.
"Chloe, go on. It's okay," Nicole urged gently, noticing that Chloe seemed lost in thought.
Chloe hesitated for a moment, then sighed. "I don't believe someone like Isaac wouldn't be interested in Roxanna,
who is so straightforward and lacking in cunning. It's just that everything seems too coincidental, which makes me
start to doubt Isaac's motives."
She paused, then added, "Roxanna is too naive. She doesn't understand my concerns. I just want to keep an eye on
them all the time, hoping to spot something and intervene in time."
