The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 226

Chapter 226

Evervone at the dining table looked at Roxanne with more admiration. They even had the urge to take her in as their disciple.

However, recalling that she had rejected even Gerald‘s offer, they felt embarrassed to speak up.

Gerald quickly changed the topic, but the conversation still stayed within the medical field.

Because of Roxanne‘s performance earlier in the afternoon, whenever Gerald raised new questions in the conversation, everyone would immediately turn their gazes to her.

Roxanne felt as though she had joined another conference, with everyone placing the main focus on her.

Fortunately for her, such an atmosphere did not last long. Gerald soon realized the atmosphere had turned a little too solemn for the occasion, so he quickly navigated the conversation to something more relaxing.

Being the juniors among everyone else, Roxanne and Larry became their main targets to tease.

Whenever a senior offered her drinks, Roxanne couldn‘t find an excuse to reject them. She would accept every drink her seniors gave her.

After having several drinks in a row and noticing how her seniors still intended to give her more, Roxanne quickly made an excuse to go to the washroom when she was only finding an opportunity to leave the private room to get some fresh air.

The restaurant was named Ocean Restaurant, and its decoration mainly was in dark blue with a touch of white, which gave the restaurant a mysterious yet calming atmosphere.

After wandering around the door to the private room, Roxanne finally felt sober. She knew she couldn‘t make her seniors wait for too long, so she decided to head back inside the private room.

“Dr. Jarvis?”

Right after she turned around, she ran into a middle–aged man. His white shirt seemed a little too tight because of his beer belly, and the buttons on his shirt seemed as though they could pop at any moment. Also, the man‘s cheeks were flushed, indicating that he was drunk.

Seeing that Roxanne had turned around to look at him, the middle–aged man took a couple of steps forward. He looked as if he was about to stick his face closer at Roxanne to confirm if he recognized her correctly.
