Chapter 876 What I Should Do
Before she could get out of the car, Roxanne saw that Colby was already waiting at the entrance of the research institute.
She was surprised.
It’s the weekend today, so no one should be working at the research institute, including Colby. There’s not much going on here for him to work overtime. Although I need to
move the medicinal herbs and devices, I didn’t ask him to come. What is he doing here?
“Mr. Damaris.” Upon seeing the two get out of the car, Colby walked over and greeted Jack first politely before turning to Roxanne. “Dr. Jarvis.”
Roxanne sensed something amiss, but she dismissed it as her overthinking. She smiled and greeted in return, “Dr. Galloway.”

Colby nodded in acknowledgement.
“There’s nothing much to do at the research institute today, so why are you…” Roxanne could not help but ask.
Colby glanced at them and responded with a hint of disappointment and frustration in his voice, “If there’s nothing much to do, then what are you two doing here?”
Roxanne froze for a few seconds.
Am I imagining things? Why does Colby sound as if I’ve abandoned him?
For some reason, Roxanne felt rather guilty.
“I’m sorry. I should have informed you. But I thought we could manage, so I didn’t want to trouble you.”
Only then did Colby laugh nonchalantly. “I was just joking. I was bored today, so I came to take a look. I didn’t expect you guys to come too,” he said before glancing at Jack
calmly.

Upon meeting Colby’s eyes, Jack frowned.
“Since we met, is there anything I can help with?” Colby offered.
After glancing at Jack, Roxanne replied, “If it’s all right with you, you can help us move the medicinal herbs. I feel more assured with you here.”
As she had been working with Colby the longest out of all the employees at the research institute, she trusted him the most.
Colby nodded with a smile.
Quickly, the three of them and Jack’s assistant got to work.
“Are these medicinal herbs from Herbscape Group?” Colby inquired while moving the herbs.
At the mention of Herbscape Group, Roxanne could not help but think of Lucian, and the expression on her face changed.
Jack, who was beside her, nodded. “Fortunately, Ms. Jarvis is meticulous. I checked it, and I believe she has brought all the medicinal herbs and equipment we can use.”

Hearing that, Roxanne snapped back to her senses and pursed her lips absent-mindedly. “It’s what I should do.”
Jack smiled in understanding.
Seeing the two getting along so well, Colby felt an uncontrollable surge of jealousy, and his gaze darkened.
“I wonder how Herbscape Group will develop in the future.” Quelling his jealousy, Colby continued nonchalantly, “I remember they almost got acquired by Farwell Group. Their
only way out is for Farwell Group to take over, right? But with the scandal, I wonder if Farwell Group is still willing to acquire Herbscape Group.”
Roxanne’s heart skipped a beat.
If Farwell Group really acquires Herbscape Group, then Farwell Group must be the one behind the scandal.
At that thought, Roxanne felt somewhat guilty.
