Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1439

Chapter 1439 Each Caught up in Their Own Thoughts

Chloe gazed at the pizza before her. She distinctly remembered requesting the staff to divide it into eight slices. Why are there only six? A frown creased her forehead.

"Just a moment, Nicole. I'll slice it again."

She picked up the pizza and pivoted toward the kitchen. The moment she crossed the threshold, the look on her face changed.

She had overheard Nicole's words earlier. However, Nicole was already heavily pregnant. She couldn't burden her with such petty concerns.

She had contemplated discussing matters with Isaac, but she still hadn't made up her mind. What if they misconstrued her intentions if she hastily approached Isaac? How would Roxanna face Isaac in the future?

After all, they were now work partners, and Isaac was a shareholder. It was inevitable that they would cross paths again.

Nicole watched as Chloe retreated to the kitchen as if she were fleeing. Nicole let out a soft sigh then. She understood Chloe's predicament. The situation was indeed complex.

Chloe swiftly emerged from the kitchen with the freshly sliced pizza and set it before Nicole, urging, "Nicole, eat while it's hot. It won't be as tasty once it cools."

Seeing this, Nicole nodded and refrained from bringing up Roxanna's situation again. With one issue cropping up after another, she hoped that Kendrick's matter could be resolved as soon as possible.

Isaac returned home with his entourage and stared at the chat box featuring Roxanna on his phone screen, uncertain of what to type.


Roxanna had seemed out of sorts when she left today. There must have been some issue. Since he was pursuing Roxanna, should he inquire about it?

Should he ask?

For a moment, Isaac felt a wave of timidity.

In the end, he steeled himself and sent the message. Now, he was awaiting Roxanna's response.

If the other party was responding, it would display "typing..." at the top, but there was no such indication. Had she not seen it?

Should he call her?

Isaac clutched his phone tightly, contemplating other strategies while waiting for a reply.

He had never felt so indecisive. When he was courting girls in the past, he was adept at employing various tactics. But now, with Roxanna, none of them seemed applicable.

"Sigh."

Isaac hung his head in frustration, momentarily at a loss.

"I should just call and ask. After all, I'm the one pursuing her. I can't just wait for her to seek my help."

Having made up his mind, Isaac stared at the familiar number and pressed the call button.

Roxanna sat until dusk without touching a morsel. The dinner that was delivered at four o'clock remained untouched at eight.

Bzzz… Bzzz…

It had been over two hours since Nicole had called her. Who could be calling her now?

She didn't feel like answering.
