Chapter 795 What Happened Between Them
Roxanne’s car was nowhere in sight by the time Lucian drove out of her house. With a frown on his face, Lucian pulled over by the side of the road and gave Cayden a call.
Cayden was about to give Lucian a call as well, so he quickly answered the phone when it rang. “Hello, Mr. Farwell.”
“Find out where Herbscape Group will be signing the contract with Damaris Group,” Lucian ordered coldly. I can’t believe I let her get away! I will not allow her to spend time alone with Jack without my supervision!
Cayden replied, “Mr. Elias wants to have a meal with you at the Twin Petal Hotel. He tried calling you, but you weren’t answering your phone. So…”
The look in Lucian’s eyes turned gloomy when he heard that. I think I know why Dad wants to see me. He probably wants to talk me into marrying Aubree. I just sent her over to their place yesterday, and now Mom sends Dad here to lecture me. That woman sure knows how to gain their favor!
“Tell him I already have plans for tonight,” Lucian replied after giving it some thought. “Got it.” Cayden hung up the phone and began looking up where Herbscape Group and Damaris Group would be signing the contract.
He gasped in surprise when he found out about the location and called Lucian back as soon as possible. “Herbscape Group and Damaris Group will be signing the contract at Twin Petal Hotel tonight. Would you still like to cancel your appointment with Mr. Elias?”
Lucian frowned after hearing that. “No, I’ll head over and see how things go.”
“All right.” Lucian then hung up the phone and drove straight to Twin Petal Hotel. Meanwhile, Roxanne’s car slowly came to a halt outside the hotel.
Jack and Larry were chatting with each other while waiting for her at the entrance. Roxanne took a moment to regain her composure before getting out of the car and walking up to them. “Sorry to have kept you guys waiting.”
“It’s fine. The guys from Herbscape Group aren’t here yet,” Jack replied with a casual smile. The three of them chatted away as they rode the elevator and headed over to the private room to wait for Herbscape Group’s representatives.
After about ten minutes, the hotel staff entered the private room with three gentlemen dressed in suits. “Hello, Mr. Damaris, Mr. Morrison, Dr. Jarvis!” said one of them respectfully as they all took turns shaking hands.
As they had already discussed the terms of the contract beforehand, the entire process went by rather smoothly. After going through the contract one final time to make sure everything was correct, Jack, Roxanne, and Larry signed their names on it.
Roxanne spaced out a little when she saw Jack chatting with the representatives from Herbscape Group. It reminded her of what Lucian said before.
Herbscape Group was originally going to sign a contract with Farwell Group but canceled it at the last minute and went with Damaris Group instead. I wonder what happened between them…
She was snapped out of her train of thought when the representatives from Herbscape Group got up and left.
“Is there anything else you two would like to discuss? If not, I’ll be heading back now. Archie and Benny are still waiting for me at home,” Roxanne mumbled absent-mindedly as she stood up.
She was about to leave when Jack stopped her and said, “We still have a celebratory party to attend. Everyone knows you’re the main reason we could sign this contract successfully, so they’re all waiting to raise their glasses to you. What will I tell them if you just up and leave like this?”
Roxanne froze when she heard that and recalled what Jack told her before.
He said one of the terms of the contract with Herbscape Group required me to attend their events. I didn’t take it seriously at the time, but it looks like Jack wasn’t kidding…
