After lunch, Roxanne freshened up and requested Lysa to accompany her to the meeting. When they arrived, they noticed Jack was already waiting for them by a table next to a window.
When he saw Roxanne had to walk with the support of another person, he went up to her. “Are you injured? Why didn’t you tell me in the morning?”
Roxanne responded with a faint smile. “It’s just a minor injury. I can still walk.”
Jack frowned after taking a glance at the leg that was hanging mid-air. He then helped her to her seat. Lysa sat outside and waited by the door.
After taking her seat, Roxanne noticed the stack of documents in front of her. Her tone instantly got serious. “I believe we have a lot of things to go through today, so let’s not waste time anymore and dive right in.”.
Jack nodded in agreement. He was a big fan of a career woman like Roxanne.
“We have long finalized the details of the collaboration between the two research institutes. We had to delay the process because of the Damaris family. So it’s time for us to discuss how we can compensate you for the delay. Please take a look at this.”
Jack took out a document and placed it in front of her.
Roxanne nodded and read through the document.
To make it up to Roxanne, the Damaris family had made an adjustment to the profit-sharing arrangement for each project.
The adjustment might seem insignificant, but since all the projects under the Damaris family involved astronomical figures, the minor changes would still make a big difference to the research institute.
“So what do you think? Are you happy with the adjustment?” Jack asked.
Roxanne looked away from the document and gave him a formal reply.
“I’m fine with it.”
