Chapter 586
Even though both of them were of a similar status, Lucian still used that tone to speak to Jack, which made the latter feel quite displeased.
However, because Jack was standing in front of another person’s house, he had to maintain his composure. With slightly furrowed eyebrows, he turned to Roxanne, wondering what was her opinion on the matter.
Roxanne also felt Lucian was acting out of line. However, she was aware that if things continued down that path, Lucian would only cross the line even further.
Sensing Jack’s line of sight, she said apologetically, “Thank you for sending me back, Mr. Damaris. Sadly, it’s probably not a good idea to invite you inside today. I’ll be sure to thank you properly next time.”
The moment she finished speaking, Lucian’s eyebrows slightly furrowed. He promptly stretched his hand to hold her other arm.
Jack respected her decision and simply nodded with a smile. “It was nothing. Since you’re injured, I think it’ll be for the best if we talk about the collaboration on the phone.”
Roxanne agreed gratefully. Before he left, Jack’s gaze swept past Lucian. “If you need anything, Ms. Jarvis, just call me.”
She pursed her lips and smiled. “All right. Have a safe trip home, Mr. Damaris.”
Seeing how casual the two were acting around each other made Lucian furrow his eyebrows even more intensely. His grip on her arm also became tighter because of that. Roxanne frowned at him due to the pain.
When she saw his expression, a strange feeling appeared in her heart. Jack’s car slowly disappeared from their sights.
