After breakfast, Lucian sent the three children to kindergarten while Roxanne went to the research institute.
“Dr. Jarvis, any news from Damaris Group?” Linda had been waiting for her in front of her office early in the morning.
Roxanne halted in his tracks when she heard the name Damaris Group. She recollected herself and replied, “We still need more time. What's wrong? Is there any problem with the factory?”
Linda looked helpless. “We used up the last batch of medicinal herbs yesterday afternoon, so now the factory is at a standstill. The person in charge contacted me last night, and we talked all night about the issue of stoppage pay for the workers.”
As a result of that, Linda did not sleep well all night.
Roxanne knitted her brows. She knew she had to tackle the problem, as it had worsened.
“All right. How much do they want? Proceed with the payment first. I'll solve this problem as soon as possible.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she picked up her pace and entered the office.
She glanced at the call log on her phone and noticed Jack's number was second on the list.
She gritted her teeth, mustered her courage, and called him back.
However, he hung up directly.
A few moments later, Roxanne received a text message: Ms. Jarvis, don't contact me if you haven't figured out the pricing issue. Call me only when you've figured it out.
Upon reading the message, Roxanne felt a wave of disappointment wash over her. She put her phone down and picked up a directory, searching for medicinal herb suppliers she had not contacted before.
As she flipped through the pages, she was overwhelmed with emotions.
