Roxanne felt touched when she heard that. The atmosphere was heartwarming as they had dinner without Sonya around.
That was the first time Lucian didn’t need to leave in a hurry after dinner, so the kids could chat with both their parents until it was late at night.
While the kids were having a great time, Roxanne wasn’t in the mood to play with them, and Lucian still had some work to do.
They two tucked the kids in before returning to the study and the bedroom respectively. They did it so naturally that it felt as though. they had been living together for a long time.
The bedroom was still empty by the time Roxanne stepped out of the shower, so she figured he was still working in the study.
Seeing as it was quite late, Roxanne figured she would advise him to get some rest. She was about to step out the door when her phone started ringing on the nightstand.
Roxanne turned around and made her way over to pick up the phone. Seeing Jack’s name on the caller ID reminded her of what he said earlier, so she wasn’t sure if she should answer his call.
However, it didn’t seem like Jack was going to hang up anytime soon as the phone simply. continued ringing. Roxanne forcefully suppressed her reluctance and answered the call, “What is it, Mr. Damaris? It’s really late now.”
“Sorry, am I disturbing you? I didn’t want to call you this late at night, but I felt the need to apologize for what happened earlier,” Jack said apologetically. Roxanne frowned in confusion when she heard that.
What’s with Jack’s sudden change in attitude? Not wanting to make things awkward, she replied with a soft chuckle, “It’s fine. You had a little too much to drink earlier, so I’ll just pretend I didn’t hear that.”
Jack breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s good to hear. I wasn’t planning on saying that after I found out about your relationship with Mr. Farwell. Since we have been working together for a long time, I figured I’d just treat you as al business partner. However, I got a little too carried away today, and it just slipped. I’m sorry I lost my composure earlier. I didn’t scare you, did I?”
Why does it sound like he’s confessing to me again? Roxanne frowned at the thought of that and said coldly, “No. You just said some things that you shouldn’t have, that’s all. If you truly are sorry, then please stop bringing this up in the future.”
The look in Jack’s eyes grew cold when he heard that, but he maintained a cautious tone as he said, “All right, I’ll keep that in mind. By the way, you mentioned a couple of times about our profit-sharing model. It’s true that we should get that settled as soon as possible. I can’t believe I got so carried away that I forgot. about it.”
Roxanne felt a little better when he mentioned work. “In that case, how about we meet up to discuss that tomorrow, Mr. Damaris?”
Since Jack had wanted to see her anyway, he agreed to her request without any hesitation whatsoever. “Sure thing. I’ll go see you at the research institute tomorrow.”
Roxanne agreed to it after giving it some thought. The two then chose a time to meet before ending the call. Lucian happened to come in at the time, so he saw her putting her phone down. “Who were you talking to this late at night?” he asked with a frown.
“Mr. Damaris called to make an appointment to discuss the contract tomorrow. I was planning on meeting him at Damaris Group at first, but since he’s partially responsible for this delay, we chose to meet at the research institute instead, Roxanne replied evasively.
Given what happened between them, Roxanne figured it would be safer to meet him in her own territory instead.
