Chapter 1160
Roxanne’s spirits finally lifted at the mention of their research.
We successfully completed the first stage of our research this morning, proving that the efforts we've put in all this time haven't been in vain.
Starting tomorrow, well be embarking on a new and even more challenging stage! Just thinking about the results their research would bring filled her heart with anticipation.She also greatly welcomed Jack's assistance.
"I'd be honored if you could come and help us, of course.Why would I find you a nuisance?"
He let out a low chuckle.
"That's good to know.It’s late, so I shan't disturb you any further.See you tomorrow."
Roxanne assented with a laugh.
Thanks to Jack's phone call, she gradually felt calmer.
Finally, she drifted into a peaceful sleep while thinking about the new research she would be doing the following day.
Early the following morning, she sent Archie and Benny to the kindergarten, then hurried to the research institute.She thought she was early, but to her surprise, Jack was there before her.
When she arrived, he and Colby were standing in the corridor, deep in conversation.
Both of them looked very serious.
Roxanne waited quietly at the side and did not interrupt.
It took a long while before they wrapped up their discussion, and only then did she pipe up apologetically, "I'm sorry I'm late."
Jack flashed her an understanding smile.
"That's all right.I know you have to drop off the kids at kindergarten.In any case, we're not on a time crunch here.Your children are much more important."
Since he had taken the words right out of Colby’'s mouth, the latter could only give a tight smile as he greeted Roxanne.
"Good morning, Dr.Jarvis."
Then, the trio walked alongside each other toward the research facility while chatting about the project's progress.
Suddenly, Jack turned to look at Colby and said, "Oh, right.I forgot to mention I'm officially participating in this research from today onward.I look forward to working with you, Dr.Galloway."
