Is Jonathan sud, the moment she arrived, someone wiis alrcadly there waiting for her.
Roxanne introduced herself before following the person out of the airport,
After geuung in the car, the duver asked respectfully, “Mr. Ziegler had already booked you a hotel room. Would you like me to send you to the hotel, or would you like to go to the office first?”
Roxanne didn‘t bring anything with her, so she answered, “If Mr. Ziegler is free now, perhaps we should go to his ottice first,”
She just wanted to get it done with as soon as possible.
The driver nodded in acknowledgment and immediately drove toward the othce. When they were on the way there, he had also called Jasper Ziegler to keep him posted.
When Roxanne arrived. Jasper was already waiting for her in his oflice.
“Hi, Dr. Jarvis. I‘ve heard a lot about you.” Jasper got up and reached out his hand for a handshake the moment he saw her.
Roxanne shook his hand and greeted him politely in response.
After exchanging some pleasantries, Roxanne decided to cut to the chase. “Mr. Ziegler, the reason I‘m here today is–”
Jasper interrupted her speech and said, “I know. You‘re here to talk about the possibility of working together. There‘s no rush, though. After all, I‘m not the only party who is interested.”
Roxanne was stumped when she heard that. She thought Jasper had changed his mind, so she hesitated for a while before saying, “I‘ve already prepared the proposal. Would you like to look through it firsi? We can always make adjustments based on your requests.”
Jasper smiled and waved his hand dismissively. “You‘ve misunderstood what I meant. Since Mr. Queen introduced you to us, we won‘t go back on our words. What I mean is that our company is holding a banquet tonight, and I was hoping that you could join us. Representatives from the other companies will be there as well.”
Roxanne heaved a sigh of relief. However, she was still hesitant. “Oh, I see. I can wait. About the banquet…”
She had never worked with Jasper‘s company betore, so she thought it would be awkward if she were to crash the party.
Jasper didn‘t know what was on her mind, so he continued to persuade her by saying, “According to Mr. Queen, you‘re well known across the globe, Dr. Jarvis. We would be honored to have you there. Besides, prominent figures from all over the country in the pharmaceutical industry will attend the banquet. Perhaps you could even build your contacts when you meet them. By
attending the banquet, we‘ll both reap the benefits!”
Before Jonathan recommended Roxanne to him, Jasper had already asked about Roxanne‘s background. He knew how well she did during the medical conference back then. Coincidentally, a lot of prominent figures in the pharmaceutical industry were expected to attend the banquet. He thought most of them would know Roxanne.
That was why Jasper wanted her there. If I can get her to attend, not only will I be able to show the guests how connected I am, but I can also show my appreciation toward Jonathan and Roranne.
Upon hearing that, Roxanne had no choice but to accept the invitation. “Since you‘ve already said so, I shall attend the banquet, Mr. Ziegler. I‘ll bring the documents with me when I go over in the evening.”
Jasper immediately rejected that suggestion of hers by saying, “That‘s not necessary. We‘ll just have a discussion with everyone else tonight, okay? Let‘s not be so formal. Since you‘re not in a hurry, we can go over the agreement tomorrow.”
Roxanne hesitated briefly before agreeing to his suggestion.
Jasper told Roxanne the time and place for the banquet before getting the driver to send her back to the hotel.
