Chapter 1008 Roxanne Never Came To See Him
Jack had been staring at her ever since she returned. Naturally, he did not miss the look of anxiousness on her face earlier. “I believe it was rather rude of me to answer the call for you. I hope you don’t mind.”
Hearing that, Roxanne grinned as if everything was fine. “It’s okay.” Still, Jack probed, “I wonder why he called you. I tried asking him, but he refused to tell me.”
In response, Roxanne shook her head. “I don’t know either.” Intrigued, Jack raised his brow. Though Roxanne thought she had done a good job at concealing her emotions, he still saw through her.
After all, the change in her expression was too obvious from the moment she stepped into the tent. Indeed, the phone call stirred up some emotions in her heart.
Looks like Lucian has a special spot in her heart. This is interesting. Meanwhile, in the CEO’s office of Farwell Group, Cayden peered at Lucian fearfully.
Lucian had been looking unhappy ever since he hung up. To be more specific, he had been like that ever since Jack spoke. In fact, even the temperature around him lowered.
Judging from his experience in dealing with Lucian, Cayden knew he should keep his mouth shut to avoid triggering the former’s fury.
However, that was clearly impossible.
Cayden uttered carefully, “Mr. Farwell, how should we deal with the medicinal herbs.?”
Lucian had been sick for the past few days. During that period, he had instructed Cayden to order a batch of medicinal herbs from Herbscape Group’s branch.
At first, Cayden did not know what Lucian wanted to do with them.
It was not until Cayden witnessed Lucian making a call that he understood the situation.
The first thing Mr. Farwell did the moment he recovered was to help Ms. Jarvis solve her problem. At that realization, Cayden could not help but feel touched on Roxanne’s behalf.
Alas, it was the wrong person who answered the call, and Lucian’s kind intention was not made aware of.
Cayden could not help but pity Lucian.
He originally thought Lucian would give up on the idea of giving Roxanne the medicinal herbs out of anger.
To his surprise, Lucian fell silent for a moment before saying, “Send them over.”
Lucian’s words which were laced with anger stunned Cayden.
Did I hear him right? Isn’t he mad? Still, he wants to send the medicinal herbs to Ms. Jarvis?
Cayden hesitated, not sure if he should carry out Lucian’s orders.
When Lucian spotted Cayden still in his office, he uttered coldly, “What are you waiting for?”
Hearing that, Cayden straightened his back and responded, “I’ll work on it now!”
With that, he spun around and exited the office.
In the meantime, Lucian glanced at his darkened phone screen as his gaze darkened too.
Lately, Estella always returned home with an expectant look. Sometimes, she would even stay up late, claiming that Roxanne would visit and treat Lucian.
Of course, Lucian knew Estella had already reported his condition to Archie and Benny.
He surmised the boys would have already relayed the information to Roxanne and told her to see him.
The fact that Estella was so expectant made it hard for Lucian to not feel the same.
Never did he expect Roxanne to not give him a single call when he had been ill for almost a week.
If he had not taken the initiative to call her that day, he would never know she was with Jack.
A hint of mockery flashed past his eyes when he thought of that.
To Roxanne, her job is always the most important thing. Or is it because she’s working with Jack this time?
