Ex-Wife Don't Leave, Love Is Coming Again! novel Chapter 1567

Roxanne couldn't help but feel a little discouraged after failing to establish contact with any satisfactory medicinal herb supplier after making calls for the entire afternoon.

She had contacted almost all of the medicinal herb suppliers that had previously collaborated with the research institute.

If I can't find an up-to-par partner, my only choice will be to put more effort into sealing the deal with Jack. In that case, the research institute will be in a disadvantageous position.

Roxanne couldn't figure out any solution even as evening arrived. At that moment, Lucian called.

She recomposed herself before answering the phone.

“Are you getting off work now?” His voice was filled with concern.

Hearing his voice, Roxanne felt unbidden grievances surge within her. Still, she forced a chuckle as she didn't want to let her emotions show.

“Not yet, but there's nothing much to do today, so I can get off work anytime. What's the matter?”

Lucian frowned slightly as he sensed something amiss about her tone. “I'll go and pick you up, then. Let's fetch the kids from school together.”

Roxanne subconsciously relaxed when she heard he was coming. A hint of anticipation crept into her heart as a genuine smile spread across her countenance. “Okay. I'll wait for you.”

The two stopped talking and hung up the phone. Roxanne was worried he might discover her downheartedness when they met later, so she tried her best to pull herself together.

Linda entered her office. “Dr. Jarvis, aren't you leaving yet? Is the matter regarding the supply of medicinal herbs very challenging to deal with? Can I help in any way?”

Roxanne's face wasn't as pale and tense as before after she talked to Lucian on the phone.

She was further touched after listening to Linda's kind words.

Beaming at Linda, she said gratefully, “That's not necessary. You won't be able to provide me with much assistance since you just returned from overseas and lack connections. I'll have to trouble you to pay more attention to the operations at the factory, though.”

Linda hummed in agreement before bidding Roxanne farewell. Then, she got off work first while Roxanne stayed in her office.
