“Come on, Roxanne. We're going to be working closely together from now on, so it'd do us good to spend more time with each other,” Larry chimed in as well.
Left with no other choice, Roxanne recomposed herself and assented with a smile. The three of them left the private room and went straight to the banquet hall on the third floor.
Roxanne was shocked when she stepped out of the elevator. Everyone involved in the project was already waiting for her in the banquet hall. It was as though they already knew the signing of the contract would be successful.

It wasn't long before Roxanne started feeling a buzz from all that drinking. Meanwhile, Lucian’s car had just arrived outside the hotel.
According to what Cayden told me, Damaris Group and Herbscape Group should be signing the contract on the second floor.
With that in mind, Lucian quickly made his way up to the second floor, but Jack and Roxanne were nowhere in sight.
It wasn't until he asked the hotel staff that he found out they had finished signing the contract long ago. The look on Lucian’s face turned gloomy when he heard that. Did Roxanne go straight home after signing the contract, or is she still with Jack? He was about to give her a call when his phone started ringing all of a sudden. With a reluctant frown on his face, Lucian answered the call.
“Cayden should've told you that | wanted to see you, so why haven't you shown up yet?” Elias asked in a cold voice. “I just arrived at the hotel. I'll be with you in a minute,” Lucian replied before hanging up the phone and entering the elevator.
He had only intended to come to see Roxanne and clear things up with Elias. However, Roxanne was nowhere in sight, and Elias had already arrived.

Lucian walked up to the table and sat down in front of his father.
Elias looked up at him and said calmly, “Ah, you're here. Go ahead and order something.” “No, | still have things to take care of.” Lucian turned him down without any hesitation whatsoever.
Elias simply arched an eyebrow at him in response.
“I know why you wanted to see me. You're here to persuade me to fulfill my promise to marry Aubree, right?” Lucian continued.
Elias nodded and got straight to the point by asking, “What do you have to say about that?” Although Elias couldn't care less about the marriage, he had to talk to Lucian because his wife had ordered him to.
