After lunch, Roxanne freshened up and requested Lysa to accompany her to the meeting. When they arrived, they noticed Jack was already waiting for them by a table next to a window.

When he saw Roxanne had to walk with the support of another person, he went up to her. "Are you injured? Why didn't you tell me in the morning?"

Jack nodded in agreement. He was a big fan of a career woman like Roxanne.
