Chapter 446
Early the following morning, Roxanne saw the message Larry had sent last night as soon as she awakened. It read: Are you free tomorrow? How about a meal together?
She mulled over her work that day before texting back: At noon, then. We‘ll have lunch near the research institute.
On the other end of the phone, Larry promptly agreed.
As soon as it was noon, Roxanne received a call from Larry.
“Have you finished your work? I‘m waiting for you at the research institute gates.” Larry‘s voice rang out the instant she answered the call.
Roxanne happened to be discussing a recent project with Colby. When Colby saw her taking the call, he timely halted the conversation and waited at the side.
Hearing that Larry had already arrived, Roxanne reflexively glanced at Colby, who was standing across from her. Then, she murmured apologetically, “Please wait for a while, Larry. I‘ve got something to wrap up on my end. You can come in and wait.”
Larry declined with a chuckle. “It‘s okay. I‘ll just wait for you at the gates. Take your time.”
Roxanne murmured in acknowledgment. Subsequently, she hung up the phone and continued speaking to Colby about the project.
In the few days to come, she wanted to concentrate on preparing for the Damaris family‘s medical consultation. Furthermore, the work at the research institute had long since stabilized, and the issue with the medical herb suppliers had been resolved. Therefore, she planned to entrust the matters at the research institute to Colby.
After they talked for quite a bit, the handover of the work at the research institute finally came to an end.
Roxanne still wanted to remind Colby of a few other things, but the man commented with a chuckle, “I‘ve been with the research institute for a long time, and I‘ve also been handling things with you all this while. You don‘t have to worry. Just leave everything here to me. Someone is waiting for you, no? Hurry up and go!”
Upon hearing that, Roxanne hesitated for a second before she nodded smilingly.
Speaking of that, he has been working at the research institute even longer than I have. And ever since I came over, we‘ve been handling things together. Indeed, I don‘t have to worry.
