Leaving The Country After Divorce

Chapter 1583 Too Idealistic

Roxanne was still thinking about the matter with medicinal herbs even after she got in the car, so she didn't hear Lucian's question.

Only when the car engine started did she regain her senses. “Where are we going?”

Lucian replied, “I don't know what you want to eat, so I'll choose some random place for us.”

Roxanne nodded, as she was in no mood to think about this.

Soon, the car stopped next to a restaurant entrance.

Lucian got out of the car and opened the door for Roxanne. She was still in a daze, consumed by her worries. Her thoughts were clearly written on her face.

Seeing that, Lucian drew his brows together worriedly. He suppressed his worry for her and brought her into the restaurant.

The meal ended on an unappetizing note, as Roxanne had a poor appetite. She was plagued with anxiety, so she couldn't really taste the food.

She was done with her meal quickly, but at Lucian's insistence, she ate a few more mouthfuls.

“Is the collaboration with Damaris Group not going well?” Lucian asked after they finished their meal and got back into the car.

Roxanne froze for a few seconds. She didn't know whether she should tell him about the specifics of it, as she wanted to resolve this matter by herself.

Roxanna froza for a faw saconds. Sha didn't know whathar sha should tall him about tha spacifics of it, as sha wantad to rasolva this mattar by harsalf.

However, she didn't mind relying on him if it was the last resort.

Do I really have no other choice now?

As she was still hesitating, Lucian responded, “Jack didn't accept your pricing and the negotiation failed. Now the Damaris family is rejecting to collaborate with you.”

He sounded confident as if he had already investigated this matter.

Roxanne was surprised. “How do you know about this?”

Lucian replied, “There are only a few scenarios of how the collaboration between Jack and you will turn out. I have been a businessman for so long, so I could already tell what happened from your expression.”

A look of dejection flashed across Roxanne's face. Lucian continued, “If it's me, I won't accept your pricing either.”

“Is it really that low? However, if I set the price higher...”

Lucian did not attempt to console her as he always had previously. Instead, he simply stated, “To a businessman, if the profits are too low and it takes a long time to see any decent returns, it's not a wise investment.”
