Roxanne took out her phone to give Lucian a call.
Meanwhile, during a routine morning at Farwell Group, Lucian was seated at the head of the conference table, listening to his subordinate's report.
Other than that, no one else was making a sound inside the conference room.
All of a sudden, a phone's vibration could be heard.
Everyone, in unison, looked in the direction of the sound, wondering who was brazen enough not to set their phone on silent mode in Lucian's presence.
Very quickly, the crowd narrowed down the source of the sound to Lucian's own phone.
At that moment, everyone fell silent while waiting for him to deal with it.
Under normal circumstances, Lucian would end the call and have them continue.
However, this time, after looking at the caller ID with a frown, he pondered a few seconds before instructing with a grim tone, “That's all for today's meeting.”
No sooner had he spoken than he got up with his phone and exited the conference room.
Once he closed the door behind him, everyone exchanged puzzled glances, as this was the first time Lucian ended a meeting just to take a call.
From the looks of it, it seemed like an important one.
Hence, everyone wondered if it was related to work.
At the same time, Lucian, with a solemn expression, strode back into his office. Despite answering the call with a frown, he didn't say a word.
