Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1368

Chapter 1368

“Are you going to Jadeborough for business?” Roxanne couldn't hold back the question any longer as the car picked up speed.

Lucian nodded in response to her question, his eyes never leaving the road. “There's a problem with the account, and I need to check it out.”

Suspicion shone in Roxanne's eyes. “And you have to go there yourself?”

She thought Lucian showing up to check the account was a bit much despite her limited business knowledge.

Lucian's expression remained unchanged. “The person in charge is someone from the Farwell family. Anyone else may be unable to keep them in line, so I must go.”

It was a reasonable explanation, one that Roxanne reluctantly accepted.

She assumed Lucian's job entailed nothing more than sitting in the office and devising strategies, oblivious to the fact that many trivial matters still demanded his time and attention.

“Well, what about you? Why are you going on a business trip after just recovering?” Lucian turned and gave her an unreadable look.

Guilt snapped her back to the present. She had mentally braced herself to tell him the truth, but words eluded her now that she was sitting beside him.

“I...” Roxanne hesitated for a long moment before answering evasively, “I'm going to help out with an emergency in a nursing home in Jadeborough.”
