Ex-Wife Don't Leave, Love Is Coming Again! novel Chapter 1533

Roxanne was rather offended by his sudden body contact, and the smile on her face became dark. She lowered her eyes and stepped back, slowly moving away from his hand.

Jack frowned for a moment when he felt her uneasiness. He quickly removed his hand and pretended nothing had happened.

“The research institute played a huge part in successfully developing the new medication. How about this? Lunch is on me today, plus everyone will receive a cash reward from me this month!” Jack's words made it sound like he was closely related to the research institute.

Roxanne felt he was slightly crossing the line and wanted to decline him. But the employees were already cheering. Thus, she thought it would not be nice to spoil the atmosphere.

“Mr. Damaris is so generous!”

“Thank you, Mr. Damaris. We will definitely work harder from now onwards!”

One by one, the research institute staff began to offer Jack words of flattery.

Roxanne felt slightly annoyed as she watched their admiration for Jack.

“Well, I hope everyone will give me the honor. Let's carpool and set off now, shall we?” Jack grinned from ear to ear, looking all enthusiastic.

He then reached out and wanted to hold Roxanne's arm. “If you don't mind, Ms. Jarvis, you can take my car!”

Roxanne turned sideways, avoiding his hand. She had an awkward smile on her face. “I think we should first discuss our profit-sharing model.”

Jack arched his brow, seemingly uninterested in what she said. “What's the hurry? This isn't our first collaboration, don't you trust me? Please don't worry for I'll ensure the research institute gets what it deserves. Let's not talk about work on such a joyous occasion. We should relax and take a break!”

While he was speaking, a few employees had begun to make their way out.

Roxanne was unhappy, but she could only agree. “All right, let's go then. I'll drive my car so that I can help to fetch some people.”
