Chapter 698 Keep This A Secret
Roxanne couldn’t quite believe her ears. She froze for a good few seconds
before flashing him a grateful smile. “In that case, I’ll give our collaboration my
best effort.”
Jack raised his glass and said, “Great! On behalf of all the other partners, I
hereby thank you for working with us! Here’s to our partnership!”
Roxanne chuckled as she clinked glasses with him. Jack sure has been a great
help to me all this while! For some reason, I never seem to run out of things to
talk about when I’m with Jack and Larry. Maybe this is because we’re all in the
same field of work. My conversations with Lucian, on the other hand, often end
horribly…
The smile on Roxanne’s face faded slightly at the thought of Lucian. “Oh, by the
way…” Jack was about to say something when he noticed the change in her
expression. While he didn’t know what was on her mind, he instinctively
changed the topic to relieve some of the tension anyway. “What are the names
of the two kids from earlier today?”
Roxanne’s smile returned when she heard him mention her kids. “Archie and
Benny.”
Jack nodded. “I’ve always known about you having kids, but this is the first time
I’ve seen those cute little angels in person. They sure look a lot like you!”
Roxanne froze after hearing that as she felt a strange sensation sweeping
through her heart.
Jack’s choice of words sure can be misleading! For a moment there, I thought
he was calling me cute!
Roxanne pinched herself underneath the table to snap herself out of it.
No, no, no! What am I thinking? What has gotten into me lately? Why have I
been having such crazy thoughts? Jack is complimenting my kids, for goodness’
sake! Why did I associate that with myself? This must be Lucian’s fault! I’m
being paranoid because of those strange things he said!
“It’s my first time meeting them, so I should bring them some presents. What
would they like?” Jack asked.
Roxanne turned him down politely, “That won’t be necessary. Archie and Benny
don’t really care about this sort of thing. Besides, they already have everything
they need.”
Jack frowned. “Why are you so against me giving them some presents? Since
we’re partners, I’ll be seeing them fairly often in the future anyway. I wouldn’t
want them to hate me for not giving them presents.”
Unsure of how to counter that statement, Roxanne could only reply with a smile,
“If you insist, then I shall gladly accept your offer. If you’re going to give them
something, then…”
That was when Roxanne realized she couldn’t think of a suitable present for
them.
The kids have never asked me for anything. They usually just buy whatever
they need with the money from Archie’s piggy bank. As for presents, they liked
anything I bought them, so I don’t really know what they actually like. Hmm… If I
recall, they seemed to like the presents that Lucian got them very much.
With that in mind, Roxanne continued a little uncertainly, “I think you should give
them stuff like Lego sets or scale models of aircraft.”
Jack arched his eyebrow slightly and said, “All right, I’ll be sure to prepare the
presents. Make sure to keep this a secret, okay?”
Roxanne chuckled as she nodded at him in response.
