Chapter 623 After mulling over it, Roxanne ended up bringing the bouquet back to her office.

She didn't do that because she accepted Lucian’s gestures; she just didn't want the fresh flowers to go to waste.

That was why she had decided to send the flowers back to him prior to that. / wonder what Lucian did with the flowers | sent back to him. Did he throw them away as he told me to? When she was lost in her thoughts, someone suddenly knocked on her door.

Roxanne came back to her senses and told the person to enter.

Seconds later, someone pushed the door open and walked in.

At the sight of the visitor, she asked in puzzlement, “What brings you here, Mr. Damaris?” Jack smiled and answered, “I was in the area, and | heard you're here, so | decided to come and see how you are doing.” “Thank you for your concern, Mr. Damaris. I'm much better now.” Jack nodded and entered the office. As he walked in, he sized up the surroundings.

Upon seeing that, Roxanne grew anxious, and she subconsciously glanced at the bouquet she had left on the couch.

She had wanted to put them in a vase, but she had been distracted and left them on the couch.

She didn’t expect Jack to show up unannounced.

Although she knew Jack wouldn‘t know who the flowers were from, she still felt embarrassed.

“Oh? What do you have here?” Jack's gaze fell on the flowers, and he looked at Roxanne.

Roxanne was a bundle of nerves, but she tried her best to appear calm. “I received them this morning. | don’t know who sent it.

The deliveryman has most probably gotten the wrong address.” Jack raised his brows slightly and sized her up when he heard that. What a lame excuse! Roxanne steeled herself and met his gaze, smiling faintly.

Jack chuckled when he saw how she looked. Instead of dwelling on the matter, he said, “They seem to be freshly picked. What a thoughtful sender!” Roxanne forced a smile and changed the topic. “I suppose you're not just here to check on my injuries, Mr. Damaris. Is there something else you'd like to talk to me about?” Jack sat opposite her and nodded. “You're right. There is.” As an heir to a prominent family, Jack behaved exactly like one. Even when he was sitting down his back was straight, and he exuded an ascetic aura.

Seeing that Jack was willing the change the topic, Roxanne heaved a sigh of relief. She put on a serious expression and gestured for him to continue talking.

“Apart from your research institute, the Damaris family has also picked a few renowned doctors to take part in our collaboration.

Would you like to meet them?” Roxanne was more than happy because she could meet more prominent figures in the medical industry. “It would be my honor,” she answered unhesitatingly.

Jack smiled in response. “Good. I'll let you know once we've decided on the time and place.” Roxanne nodded.

Jack then stood up to excuse himself after talking to her regarding the collaboration.

The reason he was there that day was to invite Roxanne. Since he had already done that, there was no other reason for him to stay.

As he left the office, he couldn't help but glance at the flowers again. / wonder who sent her those flowers.

Roxanne's reaction moments before had definitely piqued his curiosity.
