The room was as silent as a crypt, neither party daring to break the silence.
Roxanna had just spilled out all her thoughts in one breath. Once she was done, her gaze nervously
darted to Isaac. She couldn't help but gulp as her body tensed in anticipation.
Although she had said her piece and her mouth was parched, she paid it no mind.
She was unsure if he would agree to such a venture. Their acquaintance was brief at best, and she
wasn't certain if her forthrightness was appropriate. For her, this was a massive gamble.
She desperately hoped that this time, her gamble would pay off.
Isaac was staring at Roxanna, their eyes locked in a silent conversation. Neither uttered a word, and
their expressions remained unreadable.
Her anxiety escalated in the face of his dispassionate demeanor. She had never been this nervous
before. Due to his impassive demeanor, she couldn't tell whether he was leaning toward declining or
accepting her proposal.
All in all, she was left in the dark.
"Miss Miller, perhaps you'd like to take a sip of your coffee?"
After what seemed like an eternity, he finally broke the silence, nudging the coffee towards her.
She managed a small smile in response. Yet, her heart was pounding, and her palms were slick with
sweat. Still, she forced herself to maintain her composure.
Even though she was thirsty, she had started to mentally berate Isaac. He should at least give me a
clear answer as to whether he was going to shoot me down or not. What was the point of offering me
coffee without saying anything?
Nevertheless, she had no choice but to take a tentative sip of her coffee under his watchful gaze. Of
course, she set it back on the table after just one sip as she refused to show anything but placid
calmness.
She feared that if she downed the entire cup, Isaac might perceive her as impolite and refuse to
cooperate.
After a quick mental tug-of-war, she decided to play it safe, taking only a sip before setting it down.
Her subtle actions didn't escape his keen eyes. It was these same eyes that seemed warm and inviting
and rather out-of-place for a businessman.
"Miss Miller, I understand your proposal. However, I won't invest in your company without a solid
reason. I'm a businessman, not a philanthropist."
Isaac suppressed a chuckle, but his gaze was serious.
Although he was somewhat fond of Roxanna, it wasn't enough for him to risk the entire Quill
Corporation for the medical base.
Meanwhile, Roxanna felt a glimmer of hope upon hearing his words. Isaac hadn't outright rejected her
proposal. So, she looked at him expectantly and urged, "Mr. Quill, please go on."
"So, I'm willing to buy some of your shares. I'm not asking for much… Perhaps 10%? In return, Quill
Corporation will invest two hundred million in the medical base."
Isaac shifted in his seat, slowly articulating his terms, and held up two fingers.
Two hundred million?
Roxanna's eyes widened in surprise. With two hundred million, the medical base would be saved from
their financial crisis!
"I need to discuss this with Nicole. Please give me some time, Mr. Quill."
Roxanna quickly regained her composure. She was representing the medical base and couldn't afford
to appear naive. So, she forced herself to remain calm and collected.
She couldn't let Nicole and Chloe down.
"Of course, take your time."
Isaac smiled and swept his hand across the table in a gentlemanly gesture.
Roxanna nodded, retrieved her phone, and exited the room. She had taken more than ten steps before
finally relaxing and dialing Chloe's number.
Chloe, who was overseas, was reviewing some reports. So, when she saw Roxanna's call, she
answered immediately.
"How did it go? Any progress?" Chloe asked, her voice laced with anxiety.
She had received Roxanna's email earlier and thought her proposal was promising. She had also
informed Nicole about it, who had readily agreed.
Now, everything hinged on Isaac's decision.
"He agreed, but..."
Roxanna relayed Isaac's terms to Chloe, both women understanding the gravity of the situation.
This decision would shape the future of the medical base and had to be handled with utmost care.
"Okay, I understand." Chloe nodded, "Wait for my call."
Then, she swiftly ended the call.
