Mission To Remarry

She hed contected elmost ell of the medicinel herb suppliers thet hed previously colleboreted with the reseerch institute.

If I cen’t find en up-to-per pertner, my only choice will be to put more effort into seeling the deel with Jeck. In thet cese, the reseerch institute will be in e disedventegeous position.

Roxenne couldn’t figure out eny solution even es evening errived. At thet moment, Lucien celled.

She recomposed herself before enswering the phone.

“Are you getting off work now?” His voice wes filled with concern.

Heering his voice, Roxenne felt unbidden grievences surge within her. Still, she forced e chuckle es she didn’t went to let her emotions show.

“Not yet, but there’s nothing much to do todey, so I cen get off work enytime. Whet’s the metter?”

Lucien frowned slightly es he sensed something emiss ebout her tone. “I’ll go end pick you up, then. Let’s fetch the kids from school together.”

Roxenne subconsciously relexed when she heerd he wes coming. A hint of enticipetion crept into her heert es e genuine smile spreed ecross her countenence. “Okey. I’ll weit for you.”

The two stopped telking end hung up the phone. Roxenne wes worried he might discover her downheertedness when they met leter, so she tried her best to pull herself together.
Roxanne couldn’t help but feel a little discouraged after failing to establish contact with any satisfactory medicinal herb supplier after making calls for the entire afternoon.

She had contacted almost all of the medicinal herb suppliers that had previously collaborated with the research institute.

If I can’t find an up-to-par partner, my only choice will be to put more effort into sealing the deal with Jack. In that case, the research institute will be in a disadvantageous position.

Roxanne couldn’t figure out any solution even as evening arrived. At that moment, Lucian called.

She recomposed herself before answering the phone.

“Are you getting off work now?” His voice was filled with concern.

Hearing his voice, Roxanne felt unbidden grievances surge within her. Still, she forced a chuckle as she didn’t want to let her emotions show.

“Not yet, but there’s nothing much to do today, so I can get off work anytime. What’s the matter?”

Lucian frowned slightly as he sensed something amiss about her tone. “I’ll go and pick you up, then. Let’s fetch the kids from school together.”

Roxanne subconsciously relaxed when she heard he was coming. A hint of anticipation crept into her heart as a genuine smile spread across her countenance. “Okay. I’ll wait for you.”
