Chapter 1536 Detached

Roxanne furrowed her brows.

In the past, Jack and I had only ever talked about work or medical matters when we hung out together, so what’s

with this change? Argh. I don’t want to talk about anything else but our collaboration!

“In that case, let’s go over the content first. We can draw up the contract another day,” Roxanne suggested, still

with a polite smile on her face.

In Jack’s drunken haze, he frowned and slammed his hand down on the table. “Is that all we can talk about between

us?”

As Roxanne met Jack’s gaze in silence, alarm bells began ringing in her head. “We’re partners, aren’t we? Shouldn’t

we be talking about work?”

“Are you saying we can only be coworkers, Ms. Jarvis?” Jack retorted as his eyes glowed with anger.

Even though it was an ambiguous question, it didn’t take long before Roxanne guessed what the man was getting

at. That, however, left her utterly perplexed.

Huh? All this while, I’ve treated Jack like a colleague, so why would he develop such feelings for me?

Just as Roxanne began to doubt her judgment, Jack’s voice rang out, albeit with a note of bitterness.

“Since I first saw you at the medical consultation, I’ve had a lot of admiration for you. Not only was I in awe of your

medical skills, but I was also touched by how much you cared for the young and old. Whenever we met, I always

asked myself how great it’d be if I could have an incredible woman like yourself by my side. It’d be even better if I

could shower you with love.”

Upon hearing that and seeing the fondness in Jack’s eyes, Roxanne reeled in shock.

I can’t believe Jack has romantic feelings for me! When did that happen? Why have I never noticed that before?

After stealing another peek at the closed door, Roxanne turned her attention back to the drunk man. “You’ve had

too much to drink, Mr. Damaris. I’ll pretend not to have heard any of this.”

“I’m not drunk. I meant every word I said!” Jack said affectionately.

Alas, when he tried to grab Roxanne’s hand, the latter dodged him by taking her cup of coffee and pretending to sip

from it.

Needless to say, Jack was dismayed. “I was attracted to your professionalism and gentleness toward all living

things, and I’ve always thought that we made a great match. Think about it. Aren’t I the best person to discuss

medical-related matters with?”

By then, Roxanne was so stunned that she couldn’t stop her hand from trembling.

No wonder it feels like Jack’s attitude has been getting increasingly strange. I can’t believe it’s because of this…

“I know you have two kids, so you have more factors to consider when choosing a partner,” Jack continued

sincerely. “Trust me. You have nothing to worry about because I adore them. As long as you’re willing to be with

me, I’ll love them as my own! E-Even if they’re your children with Lucian, I wouldn’t mind one bit!”

After hearing Jack mention Archie and Benny’s parentage, Roxanne tightened her grip around her cup and glanced

at him.

The next second, however, she quickly regained her composure. Wait a minute… He brought that up only because

he had read the public statement issued by Farwell Group a while back. Okay. I feel better knowing that…

With that, Roxanne set her cup down and stared calmly at the man before her. When she finally spoke, her voice

was cold and detached. “I appreciate your kindness, Mr. Damaris. However, I’ve only ever regarded you as a great

coworker and business partner. I’m afraid I can’t reciprocate your feelings. If you wish to continue our partnership,

please don’t bring this matter up again.”
