Before Roxanne could say anything, the man continued, “Besides, you did send the flowers back to my office, didn't you? Do you want to know how my staff talked behind my back?”
Lucian said it matter-of-factly.
His reply rendered Roxanne speechless for a moment. After a short pause, she gritted her teeth and retorted, “That's because your action has caused inconvenience to me, Mr. Farwell!”
Lucian let out a baffling laugh. “Your action has caused me inconvenience too, Ms. Jarvis.”
“Lucian Farwell!” Roxanne called out his name with a raised voice. “You knew what I meant!”
Lucian's expression turned grim as he responded in a solemn voice, “You knew my intention as well. Why wouldn't you give me a chance?”
Their conversation kept hitting a deadlock.
Roxanne pressed her lips, remaining silent for a while. After regaining her composure, she said calmly, “Let's meet and talk it out.”
She had to think of a way to end this quickly as she did not want to play this game with him anymore.
Upon hearing that, Lucian arched his brows, surprised that she would want to meet up with him. But it seems she just wants to turn me down in front of me.
The man pursed his lips as he agreed, “Sure. You decide the time and place, then.”
Roxanne acknowledged at once.
After ending the call, Lucian returned to the conference room. However, this time, he looked less intimidating.
Those who talked behind his back immediately zipped their mouth, looking all businesslike once again.
“Let's continue,” Lucian ordered.
With that, someone stood up and continued with the meeting.
During the meeting, Lucian's phone started blinking again.
