Jack waited for twenty-five minutes, but there was still no sign of Lucian. Jack’s face turned grim. Looks like Lucian is not coming. Earlier during our phone call, he made a solemn vow and claimed that he would be willing to do anything. but that doesn’t seem to be the case now. His feelings for Roxanne are nothing more than a joke!
“Mr. Damaris, half an hour has gone by, and Mr. Farwell isn’t here yet. Do you think I should give him a call?” asked Kevin gingerly. Jack answered coldly, “Yes.”
Kevin immediately took out his phone and called Lucian. Yet, Lucian hung up the phone without speaking a word. Kevin stared at his phone before looking up at his boss. All he saw was Jack’s contorted look.
The tense atmosphere in the office was unbearable. “Lucian! That swine! How dare he fool me again!” Jack cursed through gritted teeth. “One of these days, I’ll make sure he kneels down in front of me and beg me!”
Kevin wished that he could get away from there, but he sensed Jack looking at him. In the end, he had no choice but to ask, “Mr. Damaris, what should we do now?”
“There’s still another hour to go!” Jack raised his voice as he glanced at the time. “I don’t believe they can come up with the antidote! We shall continue to wait!”
If Lucian did not come and beg him, he would wait and receive the news of Roxanne’s demise ! Kevin secretly let out a sigh of relief when he saw Jack turn away. He then looked around the office for an excuse to get out of there.
Just as he was panicking, he saw something flying nearer and nearer to the Damaris Group building. It looked like a helicopter.
“Mr. Damaris, what do you think that is?” He quickly brought that to Jack’s attention. Naturally, Jack also noticed the helicopter that was getting nearer. He squinted his eyes for a few seconds and saw that the helicopter seemed to have the Farwell Group marking on it.
“Lucian! You’re here after all!” Jack smirked arrogantly when he saw the logo. As the helicopter disappeared from his sight, he sat down and crossed his legs.
Lucian must be worried that he cannot make it in time. That’s why he has arranged for a helicopter to send him over here! Jack knew that he was the only one who could save Roxanne! Everything was within his control!
Realizing that, Jack was exhilarated. In fact, he was willing to overlook Lucian’s tardiness. Once Lucian showed up, he would take his time and humiliate him!
Just as he was planning on ways to torture Lucian, there was a commotion outside his office door. It did not sound as if someone was knocking on the door. In fact, it sounded as if someone was trying to smash the door. Jack’s expression turned cold, and he looked at Kevin. “Go and take a look!”
Kevin was also a little shaken up when he heard the commotion outside the door. However, he had no wish to stay in the office any longer, so he did as he was told.
The moment Kevin opened the door, he came face to face with Lucian, who looked cold and austere. Standing next to Lucian were two bodyguards dressed in black who were prepared to kick the office door down.
They stopped only because Kevin opened the door. “Mr. Farwell, is this how you behave when you beg someone?”
Jack stood up slowly and eyed his visitors with a hint of caution. Nevertheless, he was feeling high and mighty at that moment.
Lucian looked at him without any expression and strolled into his office. Jack found his expression odd. He frowned and asked, “Are you planning to take it away by force?”
