Meanwhile, Lucian had wanted to go and fetch Estella after he got off work. However, Jonathan had called him and asked him out for a meal.
Lucian had wanted to turn him down, but Jonathan had been talking to him about Roxanne for the past couple of days. He might talk to me about her again tonight.
With that in mind, Lucian said yes to him. After Lucian hung up the phone, he told Cayden to fetch Estella, while he went to meet Jonathan.
When he arrived, Jonathan was already waiting for him. Jonathan waved at him when he saw Lucian walking in..
Lucian saw him and walked toward him. The moment Lucian sat down, Jonathan asked, “How was it? You didn’t fight with Dr. Jarvis at noon, did you?”
Upon hearing that, Lucian couldn’t help but recall how Roxanne had rejected him at noon that day, and his expression turned solemn.
Jonathan noticed the look on his face, so he asked, “Did it not go well?”
If Roxanne doesn’t fancy me at all, she wouldn’t have reacted that way when she heard what the server said, would she? Lucian frowned. “The process wasn’t pleasant, but I’m not too sure about the ending.”
Indeed, Lucian actually thought there. was still hope for him when he saw her reaction. Jonathan was astonished. It seems that he’s satisfied with how it ended. What exactly happened at noon?
“Why do you say so?” Jonathan asked. Lucian glanced at him and gave him a summary of what had happened.
Jonathan was even more surprised whent he found out that Lucian had confessed his feelings to Roxanne despite having his flowers rejected by her. What was even more surprising was the fact that Roxanne had questioned Lucian’s sincerity instead of shutting him out entirely. Although he wasn’t there to witness the interaction, he thought Lucian might have a chance here and that he was getting better at pursuing women.
After listening to what Lucian had to say, Jonathan sighed and answered, “That’s good, then. I was worried you might drop the ball, so I’ve even come up with a backup plan. I think it could come in handy if you mess things up with Dr. Jarvis.”
After getting off the phone with Lucian that morning, Jonathan had taken the initiative to come up with a plan to back Lucian up in case things were to go south. Judging by how things went, I don’t think Lucian needs the backup plan anymore.
“Well, Dr. Jarvis’ attitude shows that there’s still hope! At times like this, you mustn’t give her the time to react!” Jonathan cheered Lucian on.
Lucian furrowed his brows when he heard that. “I’m still thinking about what to do next.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Jonathan mysteriously whipped out something from his pocket. In response, Lucian cast him a confused look.
“Coincidentally, I got my hands on two concert tickets this morning.” Jonathan passed him the tickets. “Go to a concert together and improve your relationship with her.”
Lucian raised his brows when he saw those two VIP concert tickets. “Why, thank you!” Lucian uttered with a smile. “Well, I’ve already given you an idea. Now, it’s up to you to come up with a plan to ask Dr. Jarvis out.”
In fact, Lucian had yet to think about that. When he heard those words, he went quiet for a while before grunting in response.
