Chapter 511 The next evening, Roxanne planned to leave work early to pick the children up from school.
It had been a long time since she did so as she had been trying to avoid Lucian. Now that meeting him was inevitable, there was no need to hide from him.
Holding that thought, Roxanne gave Lysa a call, letting the latter know that she would pick up the children herself.
Lysa agreed at once.
Upon ending the call, Roxanne threw herself back into work.
Even though the Damaris family’s research institute was still in the planning stage, a lot of details still needed to be confirmed with Roxanne’s research institute. Furthermore, Roxanne, not wanting to disappoint the Damaris family, had to make sure that her preparations were comprehensive enough.
Meanwhile, Colby had finished his work in the research facility and came over to provide her with a progress report. The moment he stepped in, he sat quietly opposite her when he saw how engrossed she was in work, hoping to speak to her when she was done.
It wasn’t until a long while later that Roxanne shifted her attention away from the screen. At the sight of Colby, she was stunned. “Dr. Galloway, why are you here? When did you come in?”
Colby grinned. “I just got here. Since you were busy, I didn’t want to disrupt your work.”
Roxanne gave him a slight nod. “What is it? How are things at the research facility?”
Colby replied, “I was just going to talk to you about it. The projects over the last few days have been going smoothly. Therefore, you can prepare for our collaboration with the Damaris family without worry.”
Colby had barely finished when he added in admiration, “Everyone in the research institute is talking about the upcoming collaboration. They are looking forward to it and feel grateful to you for securing such an opportunity.”
