Chapter 1420 Differing Treatments
Colton returned to his room only to discover a dozen missed calls on his phone. He was taken aback, and his brow
furrowed slightly. Who could possibly be trying to reach him so persistently at this hour?
He picked up his phone, and his brow quirked in surprise. Isaac?
Thus, he dialed back without a moment's hesitation. If Isaac didn't have anything of importance to discuss, he
would certainly give the man a piece of his mind.
"Hello, Colton, where on Earth have you been? Why didn't you answer your phone?"
Isaac's voice came through the phone, clearly irritated that Colton was returning his call at such a late hour. He had
made over a dozen calls. Yet, none were answered, which had left him quite frustrated.
Could it be that a woman had been keeping Colton's hands occupied, preventing him from answering his phone?
Of course, he only dared to voice such thoughts internally.
"I was out today and didn't have my phone with me. Is there something urgent you need?"
Colton cut straight to the chase after briefly explaining his situation.
"Today, Roxanna approached me and mentioned that the medical base is planning to recruit overseas talents, but
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthey are short on funds. Now, I've become one of their shareholders."
At this point, Isaac couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. After all, this was something Colton had wanted to do
previously, but now he was the one who had accomplished it. Colton can eat my dust, hah!
"What's next?" Colton's expression darkened slightly at the news. Still, he suppressed any negative emotions he was
feeling as he pressed for more information.
He hadn't heard anything about the medical base for quite some time. Instead, he had been preoccupied with
investigating Kendrick's company these past few days, leaving him with minimal sleep.
For some reason, even though Nicole was carrying another man's child, he couldn't help but learn about her
whereabouts.
He didn't probe too deeply because he knew those around him would keep him informed, so he wasn't overly
concerned.
"There's no 'next'. I invested two hundred million, and it stings."
Isaac feigned disappointment. Frankly, he hadn't anticipated Colton's reaction to be so indifferent. This was no fun
at all.
"Alright. Carry on, then. There's no need to update me."
With that, Colton ended the call, not giving Isaac a chance to respond.
Isaac stared at the phone that had been abruptly disconnected, slightly taken aback. He had to admit that this guy
was truly a master at ending calls so suddenly. Was he a professional at achieving such a strange skill set in his past
life?
As he grumbled about Colton internally, he set his wine glass aside and inexplicably took out his phone. Then, he
began scrolling through Roxanna's social media feed.
Roxanna was a simple, straightforward girl. If it weren't for the medical base, she wouldn't be concealing her
emotions at all.
However...
Isaac recalled the expression he saw on her face today and smirked slightly. "Still not quite adept enough."
Roxanna returned to the medical base and immersed herself in her work. She had to contact numerous overseas
personnel. Since these potential recruits were scattered across different countries, each of them had their own
unique work and rest schedules. To be honest, it was a daunting task.
In other words, she had to pull an all-nighter and make several calls while doing so.
She had finally wrapped up everything the following morning and sorted them into three categories: considering,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmrejected, and agreed. Then, she forwarded them all to Chloe in the form of files.
After she completed all these tasks, she was so exhausted that she fell asleep right there in her office.
…
"Isaac, the contracts have been coded."
The secretary walked in with a contract and handed it to Isaac.
To be frank, he hadn't expected Isaac actually to invest in the medical base. Although the medical base had
potential, it still fell short of the company's standards.
"Alright, leave it here," Isaac responded nonchalantly as he glanced up briefly and continued with his work.
He planned to deliver it personally later. Perhaps he could even use the opportunity to pay a visit to Roxanna. He
seemed to have developed a certain fondness for her ever since their encounter yesterday.
"Isaac, aren't we supposed to deliver this to Miss Miller?"
The secretary looked at Isaac, worried he might forget about this task. So, he quickly took the initiative to remind
Isaac.
This was an important matter, so Isaac really couldn't afford to overlook it. He was genuinely concerned. After all,
Isaac usually delivered such documents directly to the concerned party instead of instructing him to leave them on
the desk.
