Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1486 Don't Worry, I'm Here

Time in the room seemed to stand still. The two occupants remained frozen in their positions, neither willing to interrupt the other.

Upon hearing Isaac's words, she instinctively knew it was somehow connected to Kendrick.

However, she didn't mind if he refused to tell her the details. His company was all she needed.

Isaac was lost in the intoxicating scent of Roxanna. She hadn't applied any perfume, yet her natural fragrance was surprisingly appealing.

At that moment, he realized that any scent from her was a delight to his senses.

"Alright, I must leave now," he announced.

Glancing at the wall clock, Isaac noted the late hour. If he didn't leave soon, he would have to miss his sleep tonight.

Roxanna was taken aback, but she had anticipated this. She knew from Nicole and others how demanding their schedules had become. After all, they had Wendy on their side.

"Mhm, you should head back. We'll catch up when we find time. Once this situation is resolved, we can be together without any distractions." Roxanna nodded and didn't insist on his stay. She held his hand, intending to walk him out.

Isaac followed her in silence. They strolled towards the entrance of the medical base, one after the other.

The entrance was deserted, as everyone was out for dinner.

Roxanna paused at the entrance, watching Isaac walk ahead.

Just as she thought he wouldn't look back, he spun around and embraced her tightly.

"Isaac, once we get through this busy phase, we should go on a proper date," she suggested, patting his back and smiling gently.

Isaac nodded and released her, giving her a lingering look before he turned around. He didn't stop until he reached his car. Roxanna watched him drive away. Only when his car disappeared did she turn around and re-enter the medical base.

She felt the need to discuss it with

Nicole and others. If things

continued this way, not just Isaac

but even Colton might be

overwhelmed by Kendrick.

After leaving the medical base, Isaac headed straight to Gardner Corporation. They were scheduled to have a meeting to strategize against Kendrick. "Why hasn't Isaac arrived yet?"

Beryl, who was sorting out recent information, glanced at the time and frowned.

The Isaac he knew was never late. He should have been here by now.

He had hoped to wrap up the meeting early and have dinner with Wendy.

"Let's wait a bit longer," suggested Colton, glancing at the time. There were still two minutes left.

Beryl didn't argue as he was genuinely concerned about the situation.

"I'm here. Sorry for being late." Isaac entered the meeting room at the last minute, panting heavily.

Seeing Isaac's sweaty forehead, Beryl sighed. He suspected that Isaac had used this time to visit his girlfriend at the base.

He had only discovered this after returning to the country. Isaac had done a good job keeping it a secret.

Initially, Wendy was against it when she found out. After all, Roxanna was a close friend of hers. Wendy couldn't help being concerned about Roxanna being pursued by a playboy like Isaac.

However, Wendy eventually realized that Isaac's feelings for Roxanna were genuine. She stopped objecting then.

Beryl admired his friend's proactive

pursuit of love. At the very least, Isaac didn't have to rely on his family

to communicate with the person he liked.

"You're not late. Come sit down; let's start now." Beryl shook his head.
