Chapter 877 Reaction
“I believe Mr. Farwell will be happy to,” Jack said ambiguously before glancing at Roxanne.
Roxanne had sharp senses and could feel Jack’s eyes on her. When he heard his words, her feeling that something was off intensified.
Colby’s eyes also darkened when he noticed Jack’s cryptic gaze.
Although he didn’t know the truth behind many of the incidents, Jack’s eyes revealed many things.
Last time, when Roxanne was under fire, I remember Farwell Group took action in the end. This time, she became Herbscape Group’s technical advisor, and soon, Herbscape Group was involved in a big scandal. No one would believe it if Lucian didn’t do all those things for her. Moreover, I saw him appear in her house in the middle of the night. Lucian and Roxanne are already so close. Now, there’s Jack in the picture.
Colby’s heart was filled with jealousy when he realized how competent the other men around Roxanne were compared to him.
I have no chance of competing with them unless I can be like them and be more outstanding than Roxanne! I must be as good as her at the very least!
Roxanne was also spacing out, feeling conflicted about Lucian and Estella.
“Ms. Jarvis, watch out!”
Just when she was lost in her thoughts, Jack’s voice sounded behind her, pulling her back to reality.
Roxanne stopped in her tracks, but it was too late.
As her mind was filled with thoughts about Lucian and Estella, she didn’t notice where she was walking, resulting in her losing her footing.
Then she felt herself leaning forward.
Roxanne’s heart clenched, and she didn’t even have time to scream. She only hugged the medicine tight against her chest.
It wasn’t easy for them to obtain the herbs, so it would be a huge loss if they were damaged.
She slipped down a few flights of stairs, and just when she was about to slam into the ground, a pair of strong arms grabbed her waist and steadied her.
Roxanne finally caught her balance and took a few deep breaths, holding on to those arms before calming down.
“Are you okay?” Jack asked as he helped her stand straight.
Realizing how close they were, Roxanne was startled for a moment and the color rose on her cheeks. “Thank you, Mr. Damaris.”
Jack narrowed his eyes and scrutinized her. “Something seems to be on your mind, Ms. Jarvis.”
Roxanne shook her head, trying to appear calm. “It’s nothing. I was just careless just now,” she said before lowering her head to check the medicinal herbs in her arms. “Thank goodness nothing happened to the herbs.” She sighed in relief.
“It’s just a few bottles of medicinal herbs. You should be more concerned about your own safety if such incidents happen in the future. It’s not like the Damaris family can’t afford the medicinal herbs. Besides, compared to the herbs, a person like you is more precious,” Jack said with a frown.
Roxanne flashed him a small smile. “Thank you. I will be more careful next time.”
Then, she gave Jack a slight nod before entering the storage room with the medicinal herbs.
Colby was a few steps behind them. When he reached the door to the storage room, he coincidentally saw the scene where Jack held Roxanne up.
Immediately, he froze in his tracks when he saw their intimate pose, and his face clouded over.
I wonder what Roxanne’s reaction would be if it was me holding her up!
