The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1131

Chapter 1131

Jack froze for a few seconds before coming to some kind of realization and agreeing to it.

The two of them then went out of the research institute.

A look of delight danced across Colby’s face when he saw them leave.

Ever since Jack came for Roxanne, Colby had been keeping his focus on the two.

Therefore, he saw the look of struggle on Roxanne’s face.

Evidently, what he had said in the morning was effective.

Meanwhile, Roxanne came to a stop in her tracks at the entrance of the institute with mixed feelings still surging in her heart. In the meantime, Jack stopped behind her.

“Sorry.” Roxanne had calmed herself down on their way out and realized that she had been a little too carried away earlier.

Jack raised a brow and teased, “What’s the matter? Why are you apologizing to me all of a sudden? You couldn’t have secretly done something terrible to the project, could you, Ms. Jarvis?”

Roxanne shook her head immediately. “Of course not.”

I’ve done so much for this project. Why would I do anything bad to it?

Jack chuckled. “I’m just joking. Still, I have no clue as to what could possibly make you apologize to me other than this.”

Roxanne lowered her gaze. “I just think that my attitude earlier wasn’t too good.”

“I don’t think it’s a big deal. I don’t mind any kind of attitude from you as long as your research goes well.”

Jack was making it clear that they only had a professional relationship.

However, Roxanne only felt even guiltier upon hearing his words.
