Cayden was already waiting for him at the entrance of Lucian’s office when the latter arrived.
Cayden hurried forward at the sight of his boss. “Mr. Farwell.”
Lucian nodded and replied in a hoarse voice, “What‘s the matter?”
Cayden took out a document and dipped to a page before showing it to Lucian. “There are some minor problems with our project at Summerbank. The people at Summerbank are requesting a person–in–charge from our side to make a trip there in person. However, Mr. Langdon has been handling another project recently, so he‘s currently unable to leave his post. What do you think.”
Lucian received the document and took a glance.
The issue with the project was not something serious. Assigning a project manager to Summerbank would have been sufficient.
However, Lucian had a different idea when he noticed the meeting place arranged by the other party. He said to Cayden, “I‘ll get back to you in a short while.”
Cayden replied affirmatively.
Upon entering his office, Lucian took out his phone and contacted Jonathan.
Meanwhile, Jonathan had just confirmed the meeting time with medicinal herb suppliers at Summerbank and was about to ring Roxanne Lucian called him all of a sudden.
Jonathan answered the call instantly.
“That matter you mentioned yesterday about deciding a time to meet with the medicinal herb suppliers from Summerbank, have you finalized the details? If you haven‘t–” Lucian uttered solemnly.
Jonathan interjected Lucian cheerfully amidst the latter‘s speech, “You are more impatient than Dr. Jarvis. Even she has not urged me regarding this matter.”
Lucian grunted in response.
“I just finalized the time and was about to call Dr. Jarvis,” Jonathan said.
Lucian probed further after hearing that. “When is the date?”
Jonathan cast a look at the calendar. “Two days later, Why?”
Lucian nodded. “I got it.”
Then, he hung up the call without offering Jonathan any explanation. After that, Lucian summoned Cayden to his office. “Book me a flight to Summerbank tomorrow. I‘m making a trip there personally.”
Cayden gazed at his boss as he was confused.
He merely consulted Lucian for his opinion on that matter earlier because Lucian had to make the decision.
Cayden was well aware that judging by the severity of the issue that arose at the Summerbank project, Lucian did not need to go there personally.
Nonetheless, since Lucian had given the order, Cayden did not dare to question him and swiftly
agreed to proceed to make the subsequent arrangements.
After hanging up the phone. Jonathan rang Roxanne right away.
Roxanne picked up the phone very quickly and asked, “Mr. Queen, did the medicinal herb suppliers set up a meeting to meet already?”
Jonathan smiled and answered, “Yes. They‘re hoping to meet up and discuss the details in two days‘ time. However, it depends on whether you‘ll be free by then.”
The biggest issue the research institute had was the supply of medicinal herbs. Naturally, Roxanne prioritized the meeting and agreed to meet them without any hesitation. “Ill be free. Please let them know I‘ll show up on time.”
“You don‘t have to prepare anything. Once you‘ve arrived, there‘ll be someone there to fetch you,” Jonathan answered.
In response, Roxanne said, “Thank you, Mr. Queen. Thank you for your help.”
Jonathan smiled and replied, “No worries. You‘ve done a lot in curing my grandpa back then.”
After all, considering the relationship between Roxanne and Lucian, he felt as though it was his duty to help out.
At the same time, Jonathan tried to help Lucian by mentioning him in the conversation. “Besides, Lucian had already called me and asked me to hurry up. Hence, it‘s only right for me to put more effort into this!”
Hearing that, Roxanne fell silent, and she recalled what had happened the night before. According to Jonathan, Lucian still seems to be worried about matters concerning my research institute. Didn‘t I make myself clear last night? Besides, I‘ve already told him Sonya is behind it. What is he up to now?
After gelung no response from her, Jonathan knew he had wasted his effort once again. He cleared his throat and said, “Since my job is done, I‘ll keep an ear out for your good news in two days‘ time.”
Roxanne pursed her lips and smiled. “If everything goes smoothly, I‘ll visit you and thank you again.”
They ended the call alter exchanging some pleasantries.
Jonathan was puzzled when he thought about how Roxanne had reacted when he mentioned Lucian. I‘ve already planned everything out thoroughly last night, no? I‘ve given them the perfect opportunity to be alone with each other. Why is Rozanne‘s attitude toward Lucian still the same? What happened between the both of them afier I left last night?Now, the only issue left with the research institute is the supply of medicinal ingredients. Roxanne heaved a sigh of reliet after hearing those words from Jonathan
After ending the call, Jonathan texted Roxanne the details of he medicinal herb suppliers in Summerbank
Roxanne got Colby to help her look through the details that day and came up with a business
proposal. All that was left was meeting them in Summerbank
When Roxanne arrived home that evening, she looked rather relaxed compared to two days before.
Archie and Benny grew anxious when they saw how relaxed Roxanne was.
During dinner, Benny poked the food on his plate absent–mindedly and asked grumpily, “Mommy, are you almost done with the matters concerning the research institute?”
Roxanne nodded. “I‘m going to Summerbank in two days. If everything goes smoothly, the problem will be solved.”
In other words, they could be leaving the country soon.
Archie and Benny‘s faces fell after they exchanged glances with each other. “Must we leave the country?”
Roxanne acquiesced silently.
She knew Archie and Benny were reluctant to leave Estella behind, and she was feeling the same way too.
However, she started feeling uneasy again after she recalled how imposing Lucian was the night before. If we stay here, who knows what‘s going to happen in the future?
Two day‘s later, Roxanne How to Summibank early in the morning, according to the agreed ume
Is Jonathan sad? The moment she arrived, someone was already there waiting for her.
Roxanne introduced herself before following the person out of the airport.
After getting in the car, the driver asked respectfully, “Mr. Ziegler has already booked you a hotel room. Would you like me to send you to the hotel, or would you like to go to the office first?”
Roxanne didn’t bring anything with her, so she answered, “If Mr. Ziegler is free now, perhaps we should go to his office first.”
She just wanted to get it done as soon as possible.
The driver nodded in acknowledgment and immediately drove toward the office. While they were on the way there, he also called Jasper Ziegler to keep him posted.
When Roxanne arrived, Jasper was already waiting for her in his office.
“Hi, Dr. Jarvis. I’ve heard a lot about you.” Jasper got up and reached out his hand for a handshake the moment he saw her.
Roxanne shook his hand and greeted him politely in response.
After exchanging some pleasantries, Roxanne decided to cut to the chase. “Mr. Ziegler, the reason I‘m here today is–”
