Chapter 641 “I'll send Ms. Jarvis back,” came Jack's voice from the side.

Roxanne froze, and she quickly said, “It's fine.” Even though they were close enough to be considered friends, Roxanne did not think that they were that close enough for Jack to send her home.

She rejected Larry's offer because she felt that it would be inconvenient to do so.

However, she rejected Jack because she felt that they were not close enough for him to send her back.

Naturally, Jack could see the difference between Larry and him. Still, despite knowing that, he was disappointed.

“There’s no need for you to be this courteous with me, Ms. Jarvis. We'll be working together in the near future. | just wish for us to get closer so that we can work better together.” Then he tamped down the rising strange feelings in him. “Also, I'm about to go back to my place, and your house is on my way. It won't be troublesome at all.” A crease appeared between Roxanne’s brows.

Every excuse she could think of to reject Jack had been dismissed by him before she could even voice it. Even though she still felt that it was inappropriate for him to give her a ride, she simply could not come up with any reason to reject his offer.

Larry didn’t think much of it as he chimed in, “In that case, just accept Mr. Damaris’ offer, Roxanne.” Without a doubt, Larry would rather have Jack send Roxanne back than have Roxanne take a cab home.

Since they both had said that, Roxanne had no choice but to agree to it. “Sorry for the trouble, then, Mr. Damaris.” Jack let out a sigh inwardly and gave her a reassuring smile in response. “It's nothing but a small matter.” The three of them then waited for the two drivers to come by the hotel entrance as they talked about the collaboration.

In the middle of their conversation, various footsteps could be heard from behind them.

They guessed that a group of people had just finished their meal and were coming out of the hotel together.

Hence, the trio stepped aside to open up a path for the people behind them without turning around.

“Slow down, Jessica!” The few young women behind them were supporting a drunk Jessica with worried looks on their faces.

After leaving the event earlier, Jessica had downed countless glasses of wine and became drunk. She was angry the more she thought about what had happened earlier.

It took her friends a long while of persuasion to convince her to stop. Then, they tried to support her out of the hotel to return home.

Jessica was truly drunk out of her mind. As the women supported her out, she continued to mumble under her breath, “Roxanne Jarvis, huh? Just you wait! Jack's mine...” Just as the few young women were about to respond to that, they lifted their heads to see Roxanne and the two men.

Jessica was still cursing away.

“Jessica, stop it!” one of the young women said.

However, Jessica shoved that young woman's hand away and snapped, “Don’t touch me! You're on Jarvis’ side, aren't you? How dare you defend her?” The young woman who was shoved aside glanced at Roxanne. Then, Jessica began swearing in her face, and the young woman's eyes reddened in panic.

When Jessica looked at the spot where her friend was looking, she saw Roxanne and the other two. It took her a while before she realized that the woman in the trio was Roxanne.

“Roxanne!” Jessica stumbled over to the other woman.

Roxanne furrowed her brows, and her expression darkened.

She had hoped to avoid unnecessary trouble by pretending that she did not hear Jessica.

Moreover, Jessica was someone Jack knew; Jack would be placed in a tight spot if she were to start a fight with Jessica.

Yet, who would have known that Jessica would notice her, let alone storm over to her? Previous Chapter Next Chapter
