The Abandoned Wife

Chapter 794 What You Are Doing Is Pointless

A flash of self-mockery flitted across Roxanne's eyes. She was worried that Lucian might find trouble with Jack because of her, but it turned out that she had gotten it all wrong.

All the while, Lucian was finding trouble with her because of Jack. Seeing the change in the woman's expression, Lucian realized that what he had just said might have been too suggestive. With his brows knitted together, Lucian was prepared to explain himself, but Roxanne beat him to the punch.

"Since it's business-related, you can reason with Mr. Damaris himself. I'm merely a researcher in this project. Both my words and my presence don't carry much weight, so even if I'm not there at the ceremony, it can still proceed without a hitch."

Roxanne looked at the man in front of her with a tinge of mockery in her gaze as she continued, "I'm just an insignificant member of the project. If don't attend the ceremony today, my colleagues will assume I'm unsociable and bring me trouble in the future. Mr. Farwell, please don't put me in a tight spot."

The crease between Lucian's brows deepened when he heard the woman's words. She had indeed misunderstood him.
