Only after hearing Colby's response did Roxanne relax slightly.
“I see. I'll leave it to you, then. Feel free to come to me if you need anything,” she said.
Colby agreed.
Roxanne couldn't help adding emotionally, “If you can find those medicinal herbs again, you'll solve a huge problem for me.”
Finally, Colby felt chirpy upon hearing Roxanne's tone.
Ever since Roxanne went to the research institute, she had been solving all kinds of problems on her own.
She would only let him, the person in charge of the research institute, help her with trivial matters.
Therefore, Colby knew that despite her praises, she had always only regarded him as an ordinary researcher at the research institute.
After all, he was nothing compared to the men she had by her side.
This time around, he was rather surprised at the fact that it didn't take much to trick Roxanne into holding him in high regard.
No one would've expected him to do so much just to create a distance between Roxanne and other men. It'll be so much better if Roxanne would follow my hints and shift her suspicions toward Jack and Lucian.
Colby was elated when he imagined how Roxanne would drift away from those two men and toward himself because of what had happened.
“Don't worry. Since an employee of the research institute is to blame for this mess, I have an obligation to help out wherever I can.”
Colby put his satisfaction aside and pretended to be merciful. “No matter what, Jason was still a senior employee at the research institute. Besides, he was doing it for his son. I hope you can show him some mercy, Dr. Jarvis.”
Roxanne felt slightly helpless when she answered, “I'm not even planning on doing anything harsh to him.”
Since no casualties were involved in the accident, Roxanne's memorandum of understanding was enough to lighten Jason's charges.
