Chapter 1394 Deep Bond
"Okay, false alarm."
Roxanna instantly sighed in relief when she remembered the window.
"Miss Miller, there's an update from the legal department. They don't see any unreasonable terms for now or
anything that puts the research center at a disadvantage. However, some other conditions require your judgment."
An employee knocked on the door and came in, reporting with a serious expression.
Roxanna nodded when she heard that. "Like always, I'll discuss the details with Nicole. Relay it to the legal
department."
After she finished speaking, the employee left.
Roxanna sat alone in the office, reading the contract the employee had delivered. When she sent it to the legal
department just now, she only glanced at it, so she didn't know the exact terms listed.
She began to read them in detail so that she could discuss them with Nicole when the latter woke up.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe had to admit that Isaac prepared the initial contract well. If everything was alright, they could sign it right away.
"60:40?" Roxanna couldn't believe it as she repeatedly confirmed the numbers.
It was written clearly in black and white. The research center would get 60 percent while the remaining 40 percent
would be given to Quill Corporation.
Why was that, though? Even though the research center was the one working on the research, most companies
would split it evenly.
However, Quill Corporation…
Roxanna recalled Isaac's face. No wonder.
Many people in his company must have objected to his decision.
'Roxanna, I've seen the contract. It looks fine, but why did Mr. Quill settle for 60:40?'
When Roxanna saw her phone's screen lighting up, she glanced at it. It was a message from Nicole. She
immediately started a video call.
"I was going to talk about this too, Nicole, but the legal department didn't detect any tyrannical or unreasonable
demands in the contract. I don't know what's going on anymore."
Roxanna realized the sky was turning dark, so she wrapped the coat tighter around her body as she spoke to Nicole.
"He was going to talk to you today, but I booked a slot for 5.00PM tomorrow."
Nicole nodded solemnly on the other end of the line. Chloe was with her as well. The research center had made
huge progress today, so Chloe rewarded everyone by letting them clock out earlier. She had also returned home
early.
"Let's talk about it in detail during the video call tomorrow," suggested Chloe. Before Roxanna could react, she saw
Chloe's face appearing on the screen.
"Chloe!"
Roxanna looked at her phone in pleasant surprise. It had been a while since she last saw Chloe.
Every time she talked to Nicole, Chloe would be helping out at the research center.
They were in different time zones, so before Chloe could get off work, Roxanna would be asleep already.
"Roxanna, Nicole has told me everything. Great job."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmChloe nodded as she smiled. She still looked a little tired, though.
Roxanna could see the fatigue on Chloe's face, so she hastily said, "Hurry up and rest, Chloe. I don't have anything
else to say for today."
"Okay, I'll go rest now. Just talk to Nicole if there's anything else. Don't shoulder the burden on your own, alright?
You still have us."
Chloe smiled in reassurance. With that, she turned around and left.
She knew that Roxanna was worried about her. Things were quite hectic at the research center these days, and
Nicole was also pregnant, so she couldn't let Nicole worry.
Roxanna watched as Chloe left, then Nicole's face appeared on the screen again.
"Roxanna, there was a huge breakthrough at our branch today, and everything is going smoothly. Don't worry,
alright? If anything comes up at the local branch, just shoot us a message if you can't make up your mind."
Nicole watched as Chloe returned to her room. She was worried as well, but she forced a smile on her face as she
spoke to Roxanna so that the latter wouldn't worry.
"Okay, Nicole. Don't worry, everything is going well here. You and Chloe should take care of yourselves," Roxanna
said, choking a little.
