Chapter 649 Roxanne could feel the air growing still right then.

Needless to say, it was because of Lucian.

Roxanne clenched her fist and told herself repeatedly not to turn around and watch. She wanted to pretend that Lucian was not there at all.

His question had made her squirm uneasily. At the thought of his out-of-place confession. Roxanne was worried that he might make more unreasonable demands.

Meanwhile, Jack frowned when he saw that the driver was running late.

“Letmake a call,” Jack said as he took out his phone.

The next moment, Lucian’s voice rang out. “Since Mr. Damaris’ driver is going to take stime, | could send you hif you don’t mind, Ms.Jarvis.** Roxanne tensed up once again and turned around immediately to reject his offer. “That won't be necessary. I've already made the arrangement with Mr. Damaris. Feel free to leave first if you're in a rush. Mr. Farwell!” Then Roxanne scurried to Jack's side.

She did not wish to be alone with Lucian, afraid that he might say anything that would cripple her defenses, or worse, entrap her again.

Roxanne had not seen Lucian’s trick coming in the morning, and that served as a lesson for her to be warier of him.

Noticing that Roxanne was about to run away and scurry off to another man’s side, Lucian reached out to grip her hand once again. “Didn’t you say you won't run away. Ms. Jarvis?” Roxanne paused in her tracks and lowered her gaze. After she straightened out her rambling thoughts, she turned around and met Lucian’s gaze calmly. “Mr. Farwell, I'm grateful for your kind gesture. But | don’t wish to trouble you further since it’s already quite late. I'll just head back in Mr. Damaris’ car.” Having said that, Roxanne noticed that Lucian was staring at splace behind her.

She did not know what he was staring at. However, the two men behind Roxanne were already staring right back at Lucian.

After stime, Lucian averted his gaze and said, “Is it truly that much trouble? I've given you many rides, Ms.

Jarvis. Isn't it aliule too late to say that you're troubling me? Or are you saying that you feel more comfortable with Mr. Damaris, Ms. Jarvis?” Roxanne stared at the man incredulously.

First, it was Larry, and now it’s Jack. What the hell does he tani? If any other man were to say that, Roxanne would surely think that the man was jealous.

However, the man standing before her was no other man.

Lucian would never be jealous because of her.

Besides, she was not in that kind of relationship with Jack.

Roxanne could understand it if it cfrom the drunken Jessica’s mouth. However, to hear it coming out of Lucian was an insult.

Even if she were not to dwell on his dubious confession, Roxanne could not believe that the man who had just proclaimed his love for her would say something like this to deny her efforts.

“It just so happens that my place is along his way. Please don’t misunderstand, Mr. Farwell.” Roxanne said as she tried her best to suppress the boiling rage inside of her. “How are you different from Ms. Hightower if you say such things?” Roxanne could feel the grip on her wrist tighten right after she said that.

The pain made her wince. However, she gritted her teeth and continued, “I have worked very hard to secure this collaboration with Mr. Damaris. You can always cup with a myriad of ways to humiliateif you must. But please don’t belittle or deny my effort in this matter!” Previous Chapter Next Chapter
