The executives of the research institute concluded their meeting with a unanimous agreement to venture into the cosmeceutical industry.
Such an endeavor would not only improve their livelihood but would also net them more funds to conduct costlier experiments.
With her excellent memory, Roxanne recounted most of the details.
Fully convinced, the group had nothing else to add.
At last, however, Roxanne called Lucian to ascertain its feasibility once more.
“Go for it. Since Elektra is on board to invest and most of the shares are yours, I'd say give it a shot.”
Lucian's affirmation made Roxanne feel more at ease.
That afternoon, she called Elektra to express her agreement and also ask when the capital could be secured.
Elektra told her she would be getting thirty million for the first phase, seventy million for the second phase, and additional funding as needed for the third phase.
Best of all, the capital could be secured on the same day.
Roxanne was impressed by her partner's efficiency. She immediately instructed Linda to expedite the company registration process.
That evening, Roxanne gathered the core personnel, including Peregrine and his team, and took them to a hotel. Elektra, accompanied by some investors who had a long-standing business relationship with her family, met them there to sign the agreements.
It was in that simple manner that the partnership began.
After the formalities, the feast began.
However, it soon became plain that both sides did not belong in the same social circle. Roxanne's people were all researchers who had nothing in common with the investors.
As a result, Roxanne had Linda make the arrangements to send them back after the meal.
The investors did not take offense. Instead, they chatted and drank among themselves before leaving not long after.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Abandoned Wife (Lucian)
GREAT! Chapter 1970 was actually a repeat of Chapter 1770! And the same up to 1976! Now Ive missed 6 chapters and no idea what is happening! Plus all those sections that are badly typed then typed again and then again correctly……what a waste of “chapters”....
Wish there was more to the story, like how the triplets end up and if the twins are as smart as their older siblings. Beautiful story 😊...
