The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 583

Chapter 583

As Roxanne was still injured, it was hard for her to move around. Therefore, she had been resting at home ever since she returned from the hotel. As for the research institute, she contacted Colby through the phone most of the time.

On this fine morning, however, Jack gave her a call.

When she noticed the caller ID, Roxanne‘s eyes lit up. She could roughly guess the reason behind Jack‘s decision to call her.

Jack‘s call may very well be to discuss the specific issues regarding the partnership.

Upon thinking of that, Roxanne totally ignored the wound on her foot and stumbled into the study.

“I hope I‘m not bothering you, Ms. Jarvis,” Jack‘s voice rang out the moment the call was connected. There was a hint of happiness in his tone.

Roxanne smiled and answered, “Of course, not. Seeing that you called me so early in the morning, is there something important you‘d like to discuss with me, Mr. Damaris?”

On the other end of the phone, Jack deliberately kept the suspense by replying, “What do you think, Ms. Jarvis?”

Roxanne decided to jump straight into it and asked, “Is there any progress about the partnership?”

Jack smiled indifferently and continued to joke around with her, “Maybe I just want to chat with you, Ms. Jarvis.”

“Then we can do just that.” Roxanne laughed.

After all, she had only met with Jack twice, and it was mostly for work–related matters.

Roxanne never considered herself a charming woman whom Jack would like.

As expected, Jack chuckled at her response. He then directed the conversation to more serious matters. “You‘re right, Ms. Jarvis. The research institute‘s planning stage has been completed. We are now about to start with the research and development preparation.”
