Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1451

While the reporters' photos depicted a woman standing at the helicopter door, Jack knew Lucian was behind it.

He thought the matter had ended when the celebrity scandals dominated the public consciousness that afternoon. Thus, the next day, he planned to meet up with Roxanne by using the project as an excuse.

To his surprise, her assistant told him she wasn't in the research institute.

In fact, he received the same answer over the next few days.

By then, no matter how stupid Jack was, he could still realize what was happening.

He knew Roxanne had left with Lucian, so he wondered how long it would take them to return.

To his surprise, it was a whole week, and that enraged him.

Jack was still upset as he spoke. “Even though the development of our project was about to begin, the person in charge of the research institute was nowhere to be found. What do you think I should say about that, Ms. Jarvis?”

When he brought up the project, Roxanne felt guilty and apologized further. “I'm really sorry. Due to a personal issue, I had to lie low for a while and inadvertently delayed the project. You've every right to be angry, Mr. Damaris. I promise that I won't disappear again after the project starts. You'll be able to find me whenever you want!”

Her answer satisfied him. Knowing where she went with Lucian or what she did during the past week doesn't matter. What matters is that I can win her over as long as she remains within my reach!

When his train of thought ended there, Jack complained with a softened tone, “Don't you think you should make up for all my wasted trips here, Ms. Jarvis? An apology isn't enough!”

Upon detecting the change in his tone, Roxanne sighed in relief in her mind and grinned. “Of course! Tell me when you're free, and I'll treat you to a meal.”
