Roxanne had more to say, but Lucian interrupted her coldly before she could continue. “That has nothing to do with you, so don't concern yourself with it. I know what to do.”
Sensing the annoyance in the man's tone, Roxanne was stunned once again. “Maybe you've misunderstood me, but I'm only worried about Essie's condition. Your relationship with others has nothing to do with me.”
The woman thought Lucian got upset because he disliked her getting between Aubree and him.
With that thought in mind, Roxanne could not help but scoff inwardly at herself.
The anger Lucian had bottled up on his way there finally exploded after he listened to Roxanne dissociating herself from him repeatedly. “Of course, my business has nothing to do with you. After all, you probably only care about matters concerning Mr. Damaris!”
“What's that supposed to mean?” Roxanne was baffled when Lucian suddenly replaced Aubree with her in the crosshair.
She never expected Lucian to hold on to the matter because she thought the man would understand.
“You're happy working for the Damaris family's research institute, aren't you? I know how much you wanted to be a part of the project. Would you have worked that hard if their medical skills were the only reason you wanted to join them?” scoffed Lucian, whose eyes seemed as though they were sharp enough to see through anything.
Roxanne furrowed her eyebrows even tighter in response, for she had no idea what the man's words meant. “Besides their medical skills, what do they have that's worth so much of my effort?”
Having been in seclusion from the world for so many years, the Damaris family was only known for their medical skills.
