Chapter 1007 Slightly Uneasy
“Where’s Roxanne?” Lucian’s voice finally rang out again after some time. Only then did Jack let out a chuckle. He kept quiet for a moment and finally uttered, “Ms. Jarvis is busy. I can help you convey your message to her instead.”
A grim look instantly spread across Lucian’s face. Roxanne’s with Jack again, huh? And she even let him take care of such a private device?
When he thought of the purpose of his call, the atmosphere around him grew terrifyingly tense. Cayden, who was standing opposite Lucian, felt his heart sink when he saw the scowl that spread over the latter’s face.
Cr*p. Who on earth answered the phone? Who can make Mr. Farwell so furious? “That won’t be necessary,” Lucian snapped coldly. “Since she’s busy, then I’ll call her later to talk to her myself.”
Meanwhile, Jack arched a brow. “I’m afraid you might’ve misunderstood something, Mr. Farwell. I’m just working with Ms. Jarvis out here. If you don’t believe me, I can get her to answer the call now.”
While saying that, he instructed someone beside him, “Get Dr. Jarvis—”
Before he could finish, Lucian interrupted in a threatening tone, “Of course, I believe you’re working closely with Roxanne. However, I hope you should at least have some self-awareness. Stay away from her unless it’s related to work. I don’t mind personally teaching you a lesson when it is necessary.”
With that, he hung up without waiting for a response from Jack, who eyed the darkened phone screen in amusement.
I was just playing a little trick on him. Who would’ve known Mr. Farwell would actually lose his cool and threaten me? Looks like Roxanne and Mr. Farwell are much closer than I thought. Or maybe he’s thinking the same about me and Roxanne.
With that thought in mind, Jack cast a meaningful glance outside the tent where Roxanne’s voice came from. I wonder what Lucian means to her.
Just then, the employee asked tactfully, “Mr. Damaris, should I still get Dr. Jarvis to come in?”
Her voice immediately brought him back to reality. Returning Roxanne’s phone to where it was, he shook his head and said, “No. It’s all right.”
After all, he only said that to put on an act. Hearing that, the employee gave a brief response and returned to her seat. At the same time, Roxanne had finally freed herself from the children and entered the tent with all smiles.
“Someone called you just now, and I answered it for you,” Jack stated truthfully when he saw her coming in. Roxanne immediately froze in her tracks. “Who was it?”
Feigning confusion, Jack explained, “It was Mr. Farwell, but he refused to tell me what the matter was.” Lucian?
Roxanne’s heart skipped a beat. Why is he still calling me? Isn’t he already dating Aubree? Has he finally come to his senses and wants to apologize to me?
All those speculations made her feel uneasy. In the past, Lucian had always been displeased with her interaction with Jack. Now that Jack had answered the phone on her behalf, she could not imagine what Lucian would feel.
Realizing what she was thinking, Roxanne clenched her fist to snap herself out of it. No. He’ll be fine. Lucian was just using me. I’m sure he was just faking his displeasure in the past.
With that, she put her thoughts away and gave Jack a firm nod. “Okay. I’ll take care of it.”
