Chapter 87
Roxanne quickly composed herself and shifted her gaze from Aubree to Jonathan.
Sharp-eyed as usual, it didn’t take long for Jonathan to notice the awkwardness between the two women. He casually approached Roxanne, making sure to block Aubree’s line of sight as he did.
“Dr. Jarvis, my grandfather is already waiting for you upstairs. Shall we go up now?”
Roxanne nodded.
With that, Jonathan turned to Aubree to excuse himself and began walking toward the stairs with Roxanne in tow.
