Roxanne smiled and answered, “Of course, not. Seeing that you called me so early in the morning, is there something important you‘d like to discuss with me, Mr. Damaris?”

Roxanne decided to jump straight into it and asked, “Is there any progress about the partnership?”
Jack smiled indifferently and continued to joke around with her, “Maybe I just want to chat with you, Ms. Jarvis.”
“Then we can do just that.” Roxanne laughed.
After all, she had only met with Jack twice, and it was mostly for work–related matters.
Roxanne never considered herself a charming woman whom Jack would like.
