Chapter 1434 Awakened
Without a moment's delay, Nicole forwarded the screenshot of the news article to Chloe. Kendrick's actions were
indeed perplexing.
Logically, if a man of Kendrick's stature had romantic feelings for his secretary, they would have been an item long
before now. Why did he choose to do this at such a crucial moment?
After all, Ryan had been dealt with by Colton earlier today. Could it be that the secretary is a key player in all this?
Chloe was swamped with work and had no time to even glance at her phone. Nicole, who was aware of this, didn't
mind whether Chloe responded to her message or not.
She simply found the entire situation too coincidental and difficult to decipher.
Eventually, Nicole sent a message to Kendrick on her phone, expressing her desire to meet him and discuss the
next course of action.
She assumed Kendrick would decline. After all, he was already in a relationship, and he would likely reject such a
private meeting.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, Kendrick's response was surprising. He promptly replied to her message.
Kendrick: Okay. You can choose the location.
Nicole clutched her phone tightly.
In the VIP ward of a local hospital.
Isaac was deep in slumber. He appeared to be in immense pain with his eyebrows knitted together as if he were
trapped in a nightmare.
"No!"
Isaac abruptly opened his eyes and yelled.
He took deep, ragged breaths, his chest heaving rapidly, indicating the terror induced by the nightmare.
He instinctively looked around then. Is this...a hospital?
He suddenly noticed someone sprawled on his hospital bed.
"Roxanna?"
Isaac's voice was slightly hoarse. If he hadn't been so startled, he might not have been able to utter a word.
The woman was peacefully lying on the edge of the bed, seemingly content in her sleep. The blissful smile gracing
her face was a stark contrast to his nightmare.
Why was she here?
Isaac regained his composure. Such a question abruptly crossed his mind, but soon, he pieced it together.
When he had fainted the previous day, Roxanna had appeared before him. He had even requested her assistance
in retrieving some documents.
The documents!
He quickly scanned the room and finally spotted the documents on the table next to him. Seeing that they were
untouched, he heaved a sigh of relief.
The task assigned to him by Colton was finally accomplished. The next step involved their overseas operations.
"Hmm."
The woman groaned and slowly sat up. She unconsciously stretched, and as she opened her eyes, she found the
man in front of her staring at her.
She froze in place with her arm suspended mid-air. What should she do now?
How could she alleviate the current awkwardness? But it seemed that no matter what she did, she couldn't salvage
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe situation.
She confessed that she hadn't intended to fall asleep on the bed the previous day. She was simply exhausted.
Would Isaac accept her explanation?
She resignedly closed her eyes, bracing herself for Isaac's reprimand.
"How did you know I was there yesterday?"
Isaac studied Roxanna for a while before slowly voicing his query.
Indeed, he had been pondering over this question. Could it be that Roxanna and Ryan shared some sort of
connection?
But as far as he was aware, Ryan was single. Could she be a secret girlfriend?
Isaac mulled over various possibilities, his expression growing increasingly grim. The only relationship between a
man and a woman that needed to be concealed seemed to be clandestine lovers.
Roxanna was deep in thought. Wasn't Isaac the one who had messaged me? Why is he questioning me now?
Did he sustain a head injury when he fainted? However, she distinctly remembered that she had helped Isaac up in
time.
Before she could make sense of it, she looked up and found that Isaac now wore a terrifying expression.
Did I do something to piss him off?
