Chapter 616
When Colby wanted to continue updating her about the progress of projects at the research institute, Roxanne stopped him. “I have to take care of some matters now. You can leave first if there’s nothing important.”
Colby could not quite see the expression on her face as she was facing downward.
Knitting his brows, he glanced at the roses beside her.
It was obvious that the roses had affected Roxanne’s emotions.
In the past, as someone who took her work seriously, Roxanne would have checked on the progress of the projects with him whenever she was away from the research institute, but she seemed a little different today.
Hence, Colby was overwhelmed by conflicting emotions.
Since he only had limited interaction with Roxanne, he did not know who gave her the flowers.
Most importantly, he had no idea how Roxanne felt about the person.
Roxanne lifted her eyes, noticing Colby was still standing in her office. Giving him a puzzled look, she asked, “What’s wrong? Is there anything else you want to tell me?”
Colby returned to his senses as he lowered his eyes and replied, “Nothing. I’m going out now. Feel free to call me if you need help.”
Nodding, Roxanne watched him leave the office.
As the door gradually closed, Roxanne was left alone in the office.
She looked away and tried to suppress her anger, hoping to focus on her work.
Yet, the bouquet was so distracting that she could not stop herself from staring at it.
Feeling annoyed, Roxanne put aside her work and walked to the bouquet, but she did not know what to do with it.
She thought Lucian would have listened to her after the call she made last weekend.
I didn‘t erpect him to deliver the flowers here! Given his character, he‘ll still do it in the future. His action will cause further misunderstanding among my staff if they see this!
Deep in his heart, he was a little frustrated with himself. I wonder how she reacted to the bouquet since I ordered someone to send it to the research institute without her permission.
