The Abandoned Wife novel Chapter 407

Roxanne thought she was just there to sign the contract, and she didn't expect to be invited to a banquet.

Since she was dealing with a potential business partner, she thought it would be disrespectful for her to show up wearing a suit.

After giving it some thought, Roxanne gave Madilyn a call.

Madilyn picked up the call fairly quickly, and she asked, “What's up, Roxanne? Aren't you in Summerbank for work?”

A day before she went to Summerbank, Roxanne had asked Madilyn to help her take care of Archie and Benny.

Madilyn thought Roxanne was worried about Archie and Benny because of the sudden phone call, so she said, “Don't worry, okay? I've already sent Archie and Benny to the kindergarten, and I watched them go in.”

Roxanne chuckled and answered, “With you in charge, I'm not worried. I just want to know if you know of any boutiques in Summerbank. I'm attending a banquet this evening.”

Hearing that, Madilyn raised her brows in puzzlement. “Aren't you there to sign a contract? How did you end up getting invited to a banquet?”

In a helpless tone, Roxanne answered, “It's a request from the potential business partner, and it wouldn't be nice of me to turn him down. Let me know if you know of any boutiques, okay? This is my first time visiting Summerbank, and I don't know much about this place.”

Madilyn didn't press her with further questions. She thought about it for a while and said, “If I'm not mistaken, the Lane family has a branch there. Look around and see if you can find them. I think the boutique is called Neon Boutique as well. I'll give their person-in-charge a call.”

Having hustled throughout Chanaea for the past four years, Madilyn had made a lot of friends, and she knew some of the younger members of the Lane family.

Upon hearing that the boutique belonged to the Lane family, Roxanne appeared slightly hesitant. The Farwell family and the Lane family are close. Since I'm avoiding the Farwell family, I've also been avoiding all the prestigious families they're associated with. However, I had no choice but to work with Queen Group.

Madilyn wasn't aware of Roxanne's worries, so she said, “I think they require customers to make reservations before going over. Wait a while, okay? I'll make some calls and see if I can help you cut the queue.”
