Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1620

Chapter 1620 Acting Fast

Linda urged Roxanne to have her lunch after being swamped with work the entire morning.

Since she was dealing with a huge shipment of medicinal herbs, Roxanne thought of having a quick bite nearby before resuming her work.

A series of honks sounded just as she left the premises.

However, she did not bother about the noises made and kept walking ahead, which resulted in the car honking at her repeatedly.

It took Roxanne a while to realize the honks were directed at her.

She turned around and saw a car parked not too far from the entrance to the research institute. The window was half-opened, revealing Jack's face.

“Ms. Jarvis.” Jack grinned at her the moment she looked in his direction.

Frowning, Roxanne had no intention of approaching him. “I'm sorry, Mr. Damaris. It's a busy day at work. Please excuse me.”

With that, she turned and headed toward the restaurant.

Suddenly, the honks rang out again as Jack maneuvered the vehicle to trail her from the back.

“Ms. Jarvis, let's preserve our relationship even if there's no business deal between us. Aren't we friends? Can't you spare me a few minutes?”

Jack's voice and car honks rang out at the same time, making heads turn as people walked out from the research institute.

Roxanne dreaded the unnecessary attention. Hence, she stopped and said, “What is it that you want to tell me, Mr. Damaris? You can say it now.”

A cold glint flashed across Jack's eyes when she conceded. He opened the car door and said, “Come on in. Let's chat inside.”

Roxanne stood rooted to the spot and kept her guard up.
