Hearing Roxanne’s apology, there was a flash of smugness in Colby’s eyes, but his tone was full of concern.
“As long as you get better, it doesn’t matter how tired I get. I thought… Forget it. Let’s not talk about this. Why did you call?”
Uneasy, Roxanne said, “I’m afraid I’ll have to continue to trouble you.”
Colby was busy since yesterday after she fell unconscious.
Recently, they needed to carry out an investigation. Due to that, they had to ask for Colby’s help to grant them free rein.
For everything Colby had done, Roxanne felt nothing but sorry for him.
Colby, on the other end of the phone, was working overtime at the research institute, handling the surveillance footage of the research facility.
He froze momentarily when he heard what Roxanne said but soon returned to normal. “What is it? Go on. I’ll try my best to help.”
Roxanne said with a grateful smile, “Mr. Farwell and I want to investigate yesterday’s incident. In the process, we will need permission to access the research institute. Thus, we’ll need some help from you.”
At that, Colby became tense and felt his throat tighten.
He was fine with Roxanne carrying out an investigation but didn’t expect Lucian to be involved.
I only asked Lucian to come yesterday to watch him fight with Jack, not to investigate me. It will be trouble if Lucian intervenes.
Colby wasn’t confident to hide the truth from Lucian’s discerning eyes.
“Dr. Galloway?” Roxanne urged in confusion since she didn’t receive a reply from him.
Colby abruptly returned to his senses and tried to sound calm. “I’m sorry. I was up all night yesterday, so I zoned out. All right, I got it. Feel free to tell me when you need help.”
