Roxanne listened to Lucian's explanation intently.
Then, Lucian added, “All you need to do is stay firm on Jack's bottom line, then raise the percentage of the profits bit by bit. If he really wants the profits, he'll definitely capitulate.”
After hearing that, Roxanne nodded in understanding. “I get it now.”
Lucian arched a brow. “As expected of the mistress of the Farwell family. You're smart indeed.”
At his teasing, Roxanne feigned irritation and snapped her head back to order Catalina to help get the guest room ready.
Alas, Catalina was nowhere to be seen.
“Who are you looking for?”
Lucian sounded as though he had seen through her entirely.
“Where's Catalina?” Roxanne huffed.
Sure enough, Lucian had anticipated that reply from her.
He regarded her in amusement. “Why would she be here when this is our time alone?”
Having said that, he increased the pressure of his massage. “Or do you want her to witness how I serve you?”
At his quip, Roxanne blushed bright red and lifted her hands to slap his away.
Aware of her intentions, Lucian apologized with a chuckle. “Okay, I'm sorry. I dismissed her because I knew that you're shy.”
Only then did Roxanne's expression ease.
Thereafter, Lucian questioned meaningfully, “I'm a pretty good advisor, huh? Are you not planning on thanking me when I taught you so much earlier?”
