NovelEnglishChapter 511 The next evening, Roxanne planned to leave work early to pick the children up from school.
It had been a long tsince she did so as she had been trying to avoid Lucian. Now that meeting him was inevitable, there was no need to hide from him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHolding that thought, Roxanne gave Lysa a call, letting the latter know that she would pick up the children herself.
Lysa agreed at once.
Upon ending the call, Roxanne threw herself back into work.
Even though the Damaris family’s research institute was still in the planning stage, a lot of details still needed to be confirmed with Roxanne’s research institute. Furthermore, Roxanne, not wanting to disappoint the Damaris family, had to make sure that her preparations were comprehensive enough.
Meanwhile, Colby had finished his work in the research facility and cover to provide her with a progress report. The moment he stepped in, he sat quietly opposite her when he saw how engrossed she was in work, hoping to speak to her when she was done.
It wasn’t until a long while later that Roxanne shifted her attention away from the screen. At the sight of Colby, she was stunned. “Dr. Galloway, why are you here? When did you cin?” Colby grinned. “I just got here. Since you were busy, | didn’t want to disrupt your work.” Roxanne gave him a slight nod. “What is it? How are things at the research facility?” Colby replied, “I was just going to talk to you about it. The projects over the last few days have been going smoothly. Therefore, you can prepare for our collaboration with the Damaris family without worry.” Colby had barely finished when he added in admiration, “Everyone in the research institute is talking about the upcoming collaboration. They are looking forward to it and feel grateful to you for securing such an opportunity.” Roxanne got up to pour him scoffee before smiling humbly at his words. “The credit for securing the collaboration goes to everyone here. After all, they are the ones who have kept this place running. Regardless of how smart | am, there's no way the Damaris family chose to work with us solely on my account.” Roxanne was certain that the Damaris family had conducted a thorough background check on their research institute before choosing them as their partner.

Even though the collaboration details had been decided, the Damaris family’s research institute wasn’t on track yet. Thus, Roxanne could only spend the last few days identifying the direction of the family’s research and reading up on the latest information in an effort to prepare ahead of time.
After going through it, Colby knitted his brows. “This is a field that our research institute has not explored before.
Thus, I'm not sure if we can meet the Damaris family’s expectations.” Roxanne curled her lips into a smile. “That's the reason why I'm preparing for it as much as possible.
Furthermore, if the collaboration goes well, our research institute will be able to expand the fields that we're involved in, which will be extremely beneficial to our future development.” Colby responded with a thoughtful nod. “I understand. I'll make sure everyone is well prepared.” In the midst of their discussion, there was a sudden knock on the door.
When Roxanne opened it, she saw one of the researchers, dressed in a lab coat, standing at the door.
When he saw Roxanne, the man reported awkwardly, “Dr. Jarvis, excusefor troubling you before you leave, but we have encountered a problem with our experiment. Can you help us take a look at it?”| Roxanne agreed without hesitation while Colby, too, followed them back to the research facility.
