Chapter 619
Given Lucian‘s background and stature, he never had the need to put up a front with anybody.
Still, he had learned how to control his emotions and facial expressions, having been in the corporate world for so long.
Roxanne thought he was really feeling unwell when she saw him frowning.
Lucian raised his brows slightly and casually placed one of his hands on his stomach.

Roxanne continued sizing him up for a long while. I stayed with him sir years ago, and I never knew he had gastritis. That being said, I don‘t think he‘s just acting. Is he acting we

Roxanne froze when she saw that. Subconsciously, she turned to check her surroundings.
Lucian was standing straight next to his luxurious car and holding a bouquet of roses. A scene like that could easily lead to misunderstandings.
Roxanne heaved a sigh of relief when she saw no one nearby. She then shifted her gaze back to Lucian and smiled. “You can lead the way, Mr. Farwell. I‘ll drive myself.”

Almost half an hour later, the car slowly came to a halt outside a restaurant.
Lucian opened the door and got out of the car.
Only then did Roxanne snap out of her daze.
She was about to reach out to open the door when it opened from the outside. Lucian had a calm expression on when he opened the door for her as if that was the most natura
That unequivocally took Roxanne by surprise. Why is he acting so strange today?
At that moment, she did not know if she should get out of the car.
