Thus, she could only stay for the time being and seek out another trustworthy researcher. She told him about the subsequent project arrangements and had him take Colby’s place temporarily.
Worried, Lucian kept watch beside her.
By the time Roxanne was done giving her instructions, it was already evening, time for everyone to get off work.
Getting to her feet, she left with Lucian.
No sooner had they reached the entrance of the research institute than a Rolls-Royce suddenly screeched to a stop before them with great fanfare.
Roxanne found the car in front of her a tad familiar, but she couldn’t remember whose vehicle it was at that very moment.
Before she could figure out the answer, the driver’s door had already swung open. Jack alighted from the car with a concerned expression on his face.
“Mr. Damaris?”
At the sight of him, a myriad of emotions brewed within Roxanne.
Prior to Colby’s detention, she had little trust in Jack. Therefore, she hadn’t contacted him recently.
Seeing him right then, she felt both apologetic and surprised.
Beside her, Lucian expressionlessly inclined his head at Jack in greeting.
On the contrary, Jack grinned at the man amicably. “Thank you for intervening in this matter and clearing up my name, Mr. Farwell!”
When Lucian heard that, his expression darkened a shade.
Meanwhile, puzzlement inundated Roxanne. “You already know about it?”
