Roxanne assumed that the list of partners would only be announced by the Damaris family in a few days.
Little did she expect to receive Larry's call the next morning, right after she woke up.
Hence, she answered the phone groggily.
“Have you seen it? The Damaris family has released the list of partners.” Larry's voice rang out the moment the call connected.
His words jolted Roxanne awake. “Why so sudden?”
I'm not ready yet.
Larry chuckled. “I'm as clueless as you are. However, I heard that there'll be a commencement event in two days in the form of a press conference. Therefore, we had better be prepared, as reporters nowadays can be very demanding. Who knows what sort of questions will be thrown out by them, especially toward someone new like you who doesn't have any background.”
The grateful Roxanne replied, “Thanks for giving me the heads-up, Larry. I'll make the necessary preparations.”
Nonetheless, Larry quickly followed up. “Anyway, congratulations, Dr. Jarvis. Your reputation in this country has finally gained some traction.”
Roxanne pursed her lips into a smile. “I hope that I won't let everyone down.”
“I'm sure you won't,” Larry reassured her.
As the purpose of Larry's call was to compliment her, both of them exchange further pleasantries before ending it.
Subsequently, Roxanne, still having trouble accepting the fact, sat on her bed with her legs crossed while checking the morning news.
Just as expected, she saw the news relating to the Damaris family's project where the list of partners was also attached.
