Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1328 A Familiar Feeling

In a private room, Nicole sat upright with her gaze fixed on the two documents resting on the table. She pursed her lips, knowing that success or failure hinged on this crucial moment.

Albert had advised her that cooperating with Kendrick could greatly facilitate their endeavors. With his support, their medical base could swiftly expand internationally, allowing them to investigate the true mastermind behind the Yael Family.

When she glanced at her wristwatch, she noticed that there were still 10 minutes until their scheduled meeting. She swallowed nervously, maintaining a calm exterior while contemplating how to broach the conversation.

"Miss Anderson is in this room, Mr. Hofstead."

It looks like he has arrived. Nicole's eyebrows furrowed slightly as she stared intently at the entrance of the private room.

Yesterday, when she read through Kendrick's profile, she was surprised to find that he was two years younger than Colton. Despite starting from scratch, he managed to achieve his current position through his efforts alone. This left her quite impressed.

Neither Nicole nor Colton could be considered starting from scratch, as Colton had the backing of the Gardner Family, and she had her master. In contrast, Kendrick had nothing but his abilities. It seems that he might not be an easy person to negotiate with.

Although she felt nervous, she was not afraid of him, and she had confidence in the potential success of this collaboration. After all, the technology we possess is unparalleled in this world, and it's precisely

this unique aspect that has attracted him to come for the meeting. Of course, all of this was just her speculation.

"Hello, Miss Anderson. I'm Kendrick Hofstead." A somewhat unfamiliar masculine voice resonated, infused with a deep and alluring tone.

At the sound, she lifted her head, her gaze meeting a face that seemed both unfamiliar and strangely familiar. She felt like she had seen this person before, but the memory eluded her.

"Hello, Mr. Hofstead. I'm Nicole Anderson," she said confidently, devoid of any timidity. Without hesitation, she stood up and shook hands with him before both of them took their seats.

Her first impression of Kendrick was that of a gentleman. In the short span of their interaction, his refined manners and upbringing were readily apparent.

"Miss Anderson, I've carefully reviewed your documents. In order to ensure optimal development, I believe we should diversify our approach rather than focusing solely on one aspect."

Suddenly, he nodded at her, directing his gaze toward the desserts placed on the table—a selection he had ordered at the reception before their meeting. "Feel free to enjoy the desserts, Miss Anderson," he said with a polite smile.

She hesitated for a moment before nodding in gratitude. "Okay. Thank you, Mr. Hofstead."

Pausing for a moment, she began to consider his suggestion before responding, "Mr. Hofstead, your suggestion is valid. However, our medical base is still in the process of being established, so initially, we may only be able to focus on one area. Of course, if you have any concerns, I completely

understand."

From an angle hidden from her view, Kendrick subtly arched an eyebrow, his gaze filled with curiosity as he observed her. He remained silent, as if anticipating her continuation.

"Nevertheless, certain matters will require further detailed discussion," she continued after a moment of contemplation.

As she spoke, he listened attentively, and after she finished speaking, he proceeded to share his thoughts. "I have heard of your capabilities, Miss Anderson, and I believe there is room for further discussion in our collaboration. Therefore, I suggest we postpone the decision to sign the contract until we have thoroughly deliberated on the terms."

She was highly satisfied with his straightforward attitude. His directness meant she didn't have to speculate or guess. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Alright, moving forward…" She opened the folder in her hands, and the two of them engaged in a brief discussion about some specific details.

Unbeknownst to her, his gaze remained fixed on her throughout the conversation, showing no signs of avoidance.
