Chapter 1609 Unexpected Collaboration
With that, the two men looked at Roxanne cautiously.
Ultimately, the herbs were for the research institute, and they were not sure what she would think about the
involvement of the Queen and Farwell families.
Noticing their expressions, Roxanne replied with amusement, “I don’t have any issue with that. We wouldn’t be able
to secure the suppliers without the help from both of you anyway.”
Any solution was a good solution as long as it could help the research institute.
Hearing that, both men heaved a sigh of relief.
“Let’s hold a press conference in the afternoon, then!” Jonathan said.
Roxanne was stunned. “What’s the press conference for?”
Jonathan replied helplessly, “An opportunity to collaborate with Farwell Group doesn’t come by every day. Obviously,
those medicinal herb suppliers would want everyone to know about it. However, they won’t be attending the press
conference. It will only be the three of us.”
Lucian lowered his gaze to look at the woman and said, “If you don’t like that, we can do it in a different way.
Farwell Group can issue an official statement directly.”
After all, the point was to let the public know about their collaboration with Farwell Group.

After giving it some thought, Roxonne decided to compromise. “Whot time in the ofternoon? I need to get reody.”
With that, the two men looked at Roxanne cautiously.
Ultimately, the herbs were for the research institute, and they were not sure what she would think about the
involvement of the Queen and Farwell families.
Jonathan replied, “It will start at two in the afternoon tentatively. However, if the timing doesn’t suit the two of you, I
can let the media know that we are postponing it.”
“No need. We will be there on time. Thanks for making the arrangements,” Roxanne said.
Jonathan flashed a casual smile. “All I did was make a few calls. The new medicine that you have developed is going
to save millions of lives. There aren’t many good doctors around these days, and you are definitely one of them!”
“Thanks.” Roxanne smiled at his praise.
With a straight face, Jonathan said, “I mean it. It’s not flattery, and I’m not saying it just because it’s you!”
Roxanne’s eyes were filled with gratitude, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became serious.
The next moment, Jonathan chuckled and stood up. “All right, I shall make a move first. See you guys later and
don’t be late.”
After saying that, he pointed at Roxanne’s neck and reminded her gingerly, “Uh… Remember to wear a high-collar
outfit…”
He did not want the focus of the press conference to be the couple’s relationship.
If that happened, the suppliers would probably feel offended.

Roxanne followed Jonathan’s gaze.
Even though she wasn’t able to see anything from her angle, she quickly realized what the man was referring to. A
blush of embarrassment spread across her cheeks as she glared at Lucian.
Lucian turned toward Jonathan with a darkened expression and said, “Aren’t you leaving? Why are you talking so
much? If you have anything to say, say it at the press conference later!”
Jonathan smiled sheepishly and left after saying goodbye to them.
Soon, Lucian and Roxanne were the only ones left in the room.
Roxanne glared at Lucian in annoyance before she stood up and walked toward the mirror to check out the hickey
on her neck.
As if he had done it on purpose, the hickey was planted on the spot between her neck and shoulder, a position
where her collar could barely cover and just a slight movement from her would expose it.
Roxanne recalled the look in Jonathan’s eyes when she was walking down the stairs earlier, and it suddenly
occurred to her that he must have already seen it then!
At that realization, the woman instantly blushed.
Just then, she saw Lucian’s reflection in the mirror. She did not notice him walking over.
With her face flushed red, Roxanne was about to scold Lucian when the man spoke first.
Smiling affectionately at Roxanne, he said, “Never have I imagined that we will get to collaborate one day. I look
forward to working with you, Dr. Jarvis.”
