Chapter 617

Before Roxanne could say anything, the man continued, “Besides, you did

send the flowers back to my office, didn’t you? Do you want to know how my staff talked behind my back?”

Lucian said it matter–of–factly.

His reply rendered Roxanne speechless for a moment. After a short pause, she gritted her teeth and retorted, “That’s because your action has caused inconvenience to me, Mr.

Lucian let out a baffling laugh. “Your action has caused me inconvenience too, Ms. Jarvis.”

“Lucian Farwell!” Roxanne called out his name with a raised voice. “You knew what I meant!”

Lucian’s expression turned grim as he responded in a solemn voice, “You knew my intention as well. Why wouldn’t you give me a chance?”

Their conversation kept hitting a deadlock.

Roxanne pressed her lips, remaining silent for a while. After regaining her composure, she said calmly, “Let’s meet and talk it out.”

She had to think of a way to end this quickly as she did not want to play this with him anymore.

Upon hearing that, Lucian arched his brows, surprised that she would want to meet up with him. But it seems she just wants to turn me down in front of me.

The man pursed his lips as he agreed, “Sure. You decide the time and place, then.”

Roxanne acknowledged at once.

After ending the call, Lucian returned to the conference room. However, this time, he looked less intimidating.

Those who talked behind his back immediately zipped their mouth, looking all businesslike once again.

“Let’s continue,” Lucian ordered.

With that, someone stood up and continued with the meeting.

During the meeting, Lucian’s phone started blinking again.

Arching his brows, he glanced at the screen, noticing the text from Roxanne. She told him to meet her at a café near the research institute during lunch break.

The people in the meeting noticed the tension on Lucian’s face had eased after he looked at the phone screen.

In fact, he seemed to be in a good mood by the time the meeting ended.

It was already noon when he left the conference room and returned to his office.

Glancing at the time on his watch, Lucian felt concerned about the meeting with Roxanne, as he had not thought of what to say later.

Their meetings in the past had ended on a sour note, and Lucian knew things would not get better this time because Roxanne was determined to reject him.

Of course, Lucian would not let things go her way.

Feeling vexed at the thought of the intense exchange that might happen later, he decided to give Jonathan a call.

It did not take long for Jonathan to answer his call. “Yes, Lucian. How can I help you?”

Lucian replied in a deep voice, “I’ll be meeting her later.”

Hearing that, Jonathan froze for a moment, but he soon realized who Lucian was talking about.

“So… I suppose you’ve made good progress?” Jonathan asked in surprise.

Lucian said frankly, “She’s planning to reject me.”

His reply left Jonathan speechless. Did Lucian do anything wrong? Why does Dr. Jarvis keep on rejecting him?

Had the person involved in this been someone else, Jonathan would have advised him to give up.

However, since the center of the drama revolved around Lucian and Estella’s biological mother, Jonathan had no choice but to come up with ideas to help Lucian

out.

Yet, Jonathan had run out of ideas since Lucian said Roxanne was determined to turn him down.
