Wendy wos tempted to urge Beryl to hosten his work, but observing his eornest dedicotion, she found herself unoble to voice her impotience.

Whot drives him to work so diligently? She found herself ot o loss for words os she wotched Beryl's unwovering focus.

She opened her mouth to speok, but ultimotely, she remoined silent, shifting her ottention to her phone insteod.

It's probobly best not to disturb him, she thought.

After ottending to the motters ot the medicol bose, Roxonno wos preporing to retreot to her room. She hod been preoccupied with evoluoting the copobilities of the recruits ond hodn't hod o moment to rest. Now wos her only window of respite.

A fomilior mole voice echoed from behind her. Roxonno spun oround in surprise to find Isooc.

Token obock to see Isooc opprooching her, Roxonno voiced her ostonishment.

She hod recently messoged Isooc, who hod responded by soying thot he wos swomped with work ond wouldn't be ovoiloble thot doy.

She hodn't thought much of it os she understood the demonds of his recent colloborotion with Kendrick.

Even Nicole, who wos overseos, wos occupied with motters following childbirth ond wos under constont stroin.

Wendy was tempted to urge Beryl to hasten his work, but observing his earnest dedication, she found herself unable to voice her impatience.

What drives him to work so diligently? She found herself at a loss for words as she watched Beryl's unwavering focus.

She opened her mouth to speak, but ultimately, she remained silent, shifting her attention to her phone instead.

It's probably best not to disturb him, she thought.

After attending to the matters at the medical base, Roxanna was preparing to retreat to her room. She had been preoccupied with evaluating the capabilities of the recruits and hadn't had a moment to rest. Now was her only window of respite.

"Roxanna."

A familiar male voice echoed from behind her. Roxanna spun around in surprise to find Isaac.

"Why are you here?"

Taken aback to see Isaac approaching her, Roxanna voiced her astonishment.

She had recently messaged Isaac, who had responded by saying that he was swamped with work and wouldn't be available that day.

She hadn't thought much of it as she understood the demands of his recent collaboration with Kendrick.

Even Nicole, who was overseas, was occupied with matters following childbirth and was under constant strain.

Because of that, Roxanna hadn't anticipated Isaac's visit. She had mentally prepared herself for his prolonged absence.

"I managed to wrap up my work and carved out some time to visit you. It's been a while since we last saw each other."

Without another word, Isaac swept Roxanna off her feet, spinning her around several times before gently setting her down.

As it was the end of the workday, numerous employees paused to observe the spectacle.

It was the first time they had witnessed the typically stern Roxanna behaving so girlishly.

Roxanna noticed the onlookers out

of the comer of her eye and hastily tapped Isaac on his shoulder, murmuring shyly, "Why did you lift me in front of everyone? They're all watching."

She usually maintained a stern demeanor to manage her

subordinates. After all, when Nicole

Waround, she was the one

playing the good cop.

Now that Nicole was overseas, she had the responsibility of running- such a large base single-handedly, necessitating the establishment of her authority.

"It's alright, I'm here. Let's head to your place and chat. I have to return to the office later, so I might not be able to join you for dinner."

Isaac glanced around and, emboldened, took Roxanna's hand.

Isaac glanced around and, emboldened, took Roxanna's hand.

Roxanna flushed red at that, and she buried her face in Isaac's chest, gripping his hand and swiftly leading him to her room.

Regardless of her shyness, she had no choice but to treasure this rare moment.

Isaac amiably greeted the surrounding people before he quickly followed Roxanna.

He knew that his woman was so bashful that she struggled to face people. If he lingered any longer, she might become upset out of embarrassment.

The two retreated to Roxanna's room, which was more akin to a suite, resembling a presidential suite in a hotel but with a homier decor.

Perhaps because she was back in her own space, Roxanna seemed more at ease. She wasn't shy in front of Isaac and confidently invited him to sit. "Have a seat. I'll go prepare some fruit for you."

Roxanna guided Isaac to the couch. Just as she was about to rise to fetch some fruit for him, a firm pull drew her into a familiar embrace. "Roxanna, our time is limited. Can we forgo the fruit, please?"

Isaac's voice, which was a whisper in Roxanna's ear, sounded almost bewitching.
