His And Her Marriage (Lucian and Roxanne) novel Chapter 878

Chapter 878 Not Free
With the efforts of the four people, all the medicinal herbs were quickly transferred to the storage room.
After moving the last bottle of medicinal herbs, Roxanne walked to a corner and looked at her phone.
There was nothing on her screen.
There were no missed calls, much less a reply from Lucian.
She stared at her blank screen for a few seconds and stubbornly wondered if she should call Archie and Benny and ask about it.
Just then, she heard the sound of footsteps behind her and turned to look.
Jack and Colby were walking over together while chatting.
Meeting her eyes, they stopped talking and smiled at her.
Roxanne frowned. She kept her phone and made her way to them.
“What are you two doing here?” she asked in confusion.
“You disappeared in a flash after we finished moving the medicinal herbs, so we had to find you,” Jack replied.
“Sorry, I was busy with something, so I left first and forgot to tell you. Sorry for making you worry.”
Jack nodded nonchalantly. “It’s all right. I’m glad you’re fine.”
Colby’s eyes darkened for a moment before quickly returning to normal as he looked at Roxanne.
“Dr. Jarvis, since we’re all here, why don’t we check out the equipment we were talking about two days ago?” Colby suggested after a while.
As the research institute needed some new medical equipment, Roxanne and Colby had been speaking at length about this matter.
Unfortunately, Roxanne had been busy with Damaris Group’s project and hadn’t had the time to see the equipment.
Now, hearing Colby’s suggestion, she felt a little hesitant.
I promised Archie and Benny that I would return as soon as possible, plus I’m not in the mood to work anymore. Even if I go to see the equipment, I may not be able to concentrate.
Just when she was wondering how to reject Colby, Jack’s voice rang out.
“I almost forgot, but Archie and Benny are not feeling well, so Ms. Jarvis must be worried. If it’s not urgent, she can take a look at it another day. I can also accompany you two,” he said considerately with a smile as he sauntered toward Roxanne.
A grateful look appeared on Roxanne’s face when she heard that.
She didn’t know why Jack had helped her find an excuse, but she went along with it. “Sorry, Dr. Galloway, but I’m not free today.”
“It’s all my fault. I knew Archie and Benny were sick, yet I still got you to help me with this. They must resent me for this,” Jack chimed in.
Roxanne immediately shook her head. “They won’t. They’re very understanding.” Then she turned to Colby. “Getting new equipment for the research institute is not that urgent, so we can check it out in a few days. If you’re in a hurry, you can take a look first, and if there’s a company you like, we can check it out together at a later date.”
There was a note of finality in her voice.
Since Archie and Benny were sick, Colby had no reason to refuse and could only relent while pretending to be thoughtful.
“I see. I sensed there was something off with you today. Turns out Archie and Benny are not feeling well. Please send them my regards. I’ll visit them when I’m free.”
“I will,” Roxanne replied, smiling appreciatively.
She then waved them goodbye before striding out of the research institute and hailing
