After lunch, Roxanne freshened up and requested Lysa to accompany her to the meeting. When they arrived, they

noticed Jack was already waiting for them by a table next to a window.

When he saw Roxanne had to walk with the support of another person, he went up to her. “Are you injured? Why

didn’t you tell me in the morning?”

Roxanne responded with a faint smile. “It’s just a minor injury. I can still walk.”

Jack frowned after taking a glance at the leg that was hanging mid-air. He then helped her to her seat. Lysa sat

outside and waited by the door.

After taking her seat, Roxanne noticed the stack of documents in front of her. Her tone instantly got serious. “I

believe we have a lot of things to go through today, so let’s not waste time anymore and dive right in.”.

Jack nodded in agreement. He was a big fan of a career woman like Roxanne.

“We have long finalized the details of the collaboration between the two research institutes. We had to delay the

process because of the Damaris family. So it’s time for us to discuss how we can compensate you for the delay.

Please take a look at this.”

Jack took out a document and placed it in front of her.

Roxanne nodded and read through the document.

To make it up to Roxanne, the Damaris family had made an adjustment to the profit-sharing arrangement for each

project.

The adjustment might seem insignificant, but since all the projects under the Damaris family involved astronomical

figures, the minor changes would still make a big difference to the research institute.

“So what do you think? Are you happy with the adjustment?” Jack asked.

Roxanne looked away from the document and gave him a formal reply.

“I’m fine with it.”

Roxanne would not have minded even if the Damaris family did not make that adjustment.

Having a chance to collaborate with them was already a dream come true for her.

Upon seeing the satisfied look on Roxanne’s face, Jack continued discussing the next course of action with her.

Both of them continued chatting and lost track of time.

Roxanne checked her watch and soon. realized it was time to pick the children up from kindergarten.

Lysa, who waited by the door, also started to feel anxious.

In the last few days, she was in charge of picking up Archie and Benny from kindergarten. Now that she was stuck

with Roxanne, she could not fetch the boys.

However, if she went to pick up the boys, Roxanne would be alone here.

While Lysa was still in a dilemma, Roxanne’s voice emerged from behind. “It’s getting late, Lysa. Could you please

fetch the kids? Don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine here.”

At first, Lysa wanted to urge to leave with her, but upon seeing how well their meeting went, she hesitated. She also

knew it was rude to interrupt a pleasant discussion with her business associate. In the end, she agreed to go and

fetch the boys.

Roxanne returned to the table and continued her discussion with Jack. By the time they finished going through all

the documents, it was already late.

Upon noticing how she limped when she was about to leave, Jack volunteered to send her home. “Let me drive you

home.”

Roxanne was not sure how to react to his offer. Before she could turn him down, the man continued saying, “I

believe we’re friends, right? I can’t just sit here and do nothing since my injured friend needs assistance.”

“Besides, even if you only view me as your business associate, I should still take care of you to ensure nothing goes

wrong with our projects. Let’s assume I’m doing this for our collaboration. What do you think?”

After hearing everything he said, Roxanne had no reason to reject him. She had no choice but to accept his help.

“Thank you, Mr. Damaris. Sorry to trouble you.”
