They were slurping their pasta when Roxanne's phone rang.

Roxanne's gaze shifted to the caller ID on her phone before she shot a quick, apprehensive look at Lucian. It was clear she was unsure whether to answer or not. Sensing her gaze, Lucian immediately knew who it was. "It's Jack, isn't it?"

Roxanne returned to her seat and answered the call. "Mr. Damaris."

Jack's tired voice rang out. "I'm sorry. I was busy with the medical consultation and just got a chance to look at my phone. What happened?"
