Chapter 641
“I’ll send Ms. Jarvis back,” came Jack’s voice from the side.
Roxanne froze, and she quickly said, “It’s fine.”
Even though they were close enough to be considered friends, Roxanne did not think that they were that close enough for Jack to send her home.
She rejected Larry’s offer because she felt that it would be inconvenient to do so.
However, she rejected Jack because she felt that they were not close enough for him to send her back.
Naturally, Jack could see the difference between Larry and him. Still, despite knowing that, he was disappointed.
“There’s no need for you to be this courteous with me, Ms. Jarvis. We’ll be working together in the near future. I just wish for us to get closer so that we can work better together.” Then he tamped down the rising strange feelings in him. “Also, I’m about to go back to my place, and your house is on my way. It won’t be
troublesome at all.”
A crease appeared between Roxanne’s brows.
Every excuse she could think of to reject Jack had been dismissed by him before she could even voice it. Even though she still felt that it was inappropriate for him to give her a ride, she simply could not come up with any reason to reject his offer.
Larry didn’t think much of it as he chimed in, “In that case, just accept Mr. Damaris’ offer, Roxanne.”
Without a doubt, Larry would rather have Jack send Roxanne back than have Roxanne take a cab home.
Since they both had said that, Roxanne had no choice but to agree to it. “Sorry for the trouble, then, Mr. Damaris.”
Jack let out a sigh inwardly and gave her a reassuring smile in response. “It’s nothing but a small matter.”
The three of them then waited for the two drivers to come by the hotel entrance as they talked about the collaboration.
In the middle of their conversation, various
footsteps could be heard from behind them.
They guessed that a group of people had just finished their meal and were coming out of the hotel together.
