Female Novel
Chapter 1423
The reason Roxanne did not wear the necklace was that it was indeed inconvenient.When she arrived at the research institute, she took off the necklace and kept it in the pocket of her jacket.
After bustling around for the entire morning, Jack suddenly called during lunchtime, telling her something cropped up.He asked if they could meet at night instead. Roxanne did not think too much about it and agreed.
When evening came, Roxanne exited the research institute to find Jack waiting for her by the entrance.
"I'm so sorry. Something happened at the company this afternoon, and | couldn't leave," Jack apologized as soon as hesaw her.
Unbothered, Roxanne smiled. "That's okay. Work is more important. Are we still going to the restaurant we reservedyesterday? You go ahead. I'll follow behind.”
With that, she turned and made her way toward her car.
The look in Jack's eyes turned gloomy as he watched her approach her car without hesitation. He said nothing and gotinto his own car.
Both cars drove off from the research institute.
The restaurant was nearby the research institute, and the two of them arrived within ten minutes.
Jack had already reserved them a table near the window.
Roxanne took off her jacket, and in the process, the necklace fell out of the pocket and landed right beside Jack's feet.
Jack picked it up and glanced at it before shifting his gaze to the person before him. His words seemed to insinuate a deepermeaning as he commented, "This necklace doesn't seem like your style."
Roxanne was taken aback.
Indeed, if she were to buy a necklace for herself, she would not have purchased such a lavish design.However, she didn't see a need to explain to Jack where the necklace came from.
As such, she merely grinned and did not reply.
However, judging from her expression, Jack could already tell who gave her the necklace. His lips curled into a wry smile beforehe handed the necklace to her.
"This necklace attracts too much attention. As people in the medical field, we like to keep a low profile. No wonder you wouldleave it in your pocket instead of wearing it.”
Sensing that he was implying something, she stared at the person before her, puzzled.
Jack did not comment more on it as he changed the topic to the new drug they were about to develop. "Most of the medicinalherbs we're using to develop the new drug are planted by the Damaris family. My grandpa also hopes we'll use the Damarisfamily's raw materials as the main ingredient as well."
Roxanne's focus was immediately diverted when they began talking business. She nodded in agreement and said, “That way, wecan ensure better quality, too."
She was a little worried after finishing her sentence. "But if our research institute will be in charge of the drug's research anddevelopment, the supply of raw materials..." I'm afraid the Damaris family would demand a hefty price for the raw materials.
Jack replied matter-of-factly, "The institute will only be responsible for the research and development. As for the medicinal herbs,we'll provide sufficient supplies."
Roxanne breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that.
After that, their discussion about the new drug became smoother.
Roxanne had to admit that as the leading family within the traditional medicine field, the Damaris family's research inthis area was indeed much more advanced as compared to the market. Many of their ideas and concepts coincided withRoxanne's.
