Ex-Wife Don't Leave, Love Is Coming Again! novel Chapter 410

Hearing that, Roxanne's expression froze. She then pursed her lips and kept mum throughout the entire journey.

The car then slowly came to a halt at the entrance of Blossom Hotel.

When they arrived, it seemed like the banquet had already started because there were a bunch of luxurious cars parked in front of the hotel.

Seeing that, Roxanne grew anxious, and she wanted to rush into the hotel after getting out of the car.

With a frown, Lucian asked coldly, “Is this how you show your gratitude, Ms. Jarvis?”

Roxanne halted in her tracks and turned toward him with a puzzled look. After some hesitation, she said, “Thank you, Mr. Farwell.”

With that, she turned around to leave.

In a sarcastic tone, Lucian asked again, “That’s all, Ms. Jarvis?”

Roxanne was feeling anxious and helpless at the same time. However, she maintained her composure and answered, “What would you like me to do, Mr. Farwell? I don't have the time to treat you to a cup of coffee now.”

The last time Lucian did her a favor, she showed her appreciation by treating him to a cup of coffee.

Obviously, she didn't have the time for that.

Lucian flashed an ambiguous smile and walked toward her. “What I want will not take up any of your time. It's just that I need a female partner for the banquet. If you don't mind, please accompany me, Ms. Jarvis.”

Hearing that, Roxanne pursed her lips and furrowed her brows without saying a word in response. If I accept his request, the others will surely misunderstand our relationship. However, I know Lucian well enough to know that if I don't do as he says, he's not going to let me off the hook so easily. Besides, even if I were to reject him, he's still going to make the others think we are involved with each other. I might as well just accept his request and lay out some ground rules.

At that thought, Roxanne agreed to his request nonchalantly. When Lucian reached out his arm to lead her in, she ignored his gesture.

In response, Lucian smiled and let her be.
