Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 409

Chapter 409

Roxanne pursed her lips in annoyance and tried to free herself from his grip. However, her effort was futile.

Lucian noticed her intention, and he said with a solemn expression, “Are you really going to hail a taxi, dressed like that? Can‘t you see what the weather is like?”

“You don‘t have to worry about me, Mr. Farwell. I can take care of myself,” Roxanne replied coldly.

.

That was when Lucian realized he had made his concern for her too obvious. He then furrowed his brows and said, “I doubt you can get a taxi now. By the time you get a taxi, you‘ll be late for the banquet.”

Hearing that, Roxanne turned her head to check out the street. He‘s right. Neon Boutique is in such a secluded area, and the road barely has cars passing by. Heck, I don‘t even see a tari in this area unless I walk further down the road. Even so, I don‘t want Lucian to give me a ride.

Roxanne then turned her head back toward Lucian. When she was about to say something, her phone suddenly rang.

Roxanne frowned and raised her gaze toward Lucian.

In response, Lucian slowly let go of her wrist.

Roxanne whipped out her phone and saw that it was Jasper calling her.

When she answered the phone, Jasper uttered in an uplifted tone, “Dr. Jarvis, where are you? The other business partners are already here. Even Mr. Lynch has arrived, and he said he‘s eager to see you!”

Roxanne checked the time right after that. Although the banquet is not starting anytime soon, Mr. Ziegler said Mr. Lynch has already arrived. I can‘t let Mr. Lynch wait for me for too long.
