longmoment, Roxanne finally broke the silence, but her tone still sounded

him the answer to his question, the first time Lucian was seen as nosy for helping someone out of kindness. "Regardless, I still helped you." Roxanne did not want to waste more time on this conversation. She frowned and said sarcastically, "Thank you, Mr. Farwell, for helping me. I should really get going. Since you're here for business, I'm sure someone is waiting for you too. Shouldn't you return now?

I still risked losing out on a business opportunity by keeping my client waiting for me for such a long time inside the private room.
