The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1535

Needless to say, Lucian instantly noticed the discontent and guilt laced in Roxanne’s voice.

“Jack even said he’d issue bonuses to my staff in his name. I had already considered doing it myself, but he beat me to the announcement. After that, I was just too embarrassed to turn him down… Will the staff think that Jack treats them better than I do? Then again, our research institute is only collaborating with Damaris Group…” the latter muttered.

She hadn’t been able to shake off the nagging feeling that something was off, so she had no choice but to discuss it with Lucian.

After hearing Roxanne’s worries, the man softened his gaze and comforted her, “You haven’t done anything wrong. He’s the one who has crossed the line. Your talent and passion lie in the medical field, so there’s no need to worry about the management aspect. Feel free to come to me if you ever need any assistance. I’ll be your advisor.”

“What should I do now, then?” Roxanne asked, knowing she could rely on Lucian.

Naturally, the man was more than happy to help. “Have you guys ironed out the profit-sharing agreement?”

“I told him we should talk about that first, but he turned it down,” Roxanne replied as she shook her head.

“In that case, you should find an opportunity to draft a detailed profit-sharing contract. Make sure all the terms and conditions are clearly stated. If you’re still worried, I can check the draft when you’re done.”

“Sure. I’ll let him know as soon as possible,” Roxanne piped up, sounding much more relaxed now that she had Lucian’s advice and support. “I’m sorry I have to trouble you again.”

Lucian chuckled. “It’s an honor to serve you.”

Seeing Roxanne become wary of Jack suits me just fine. It sure beats seeing them getting closer and closer. After all, I’m the only one she needs.
