Mission To Remarry novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 720

Chapter 720 List Of Partners

Roxanne assumed that the list of partners would only be announced by the Damaris family in a few days. Little did she expect to receive Larry’s call the next morning, right after she woke up.Hence, she answered the phone groggily. “Have you seen it? The Damaris family has released the list of partners.” Larry’s voice rang out the moment the call connected. His words jolted Roxanne awake. “Why so sudden?”

I’m not ready yet. Larry chuckled. “I’m as clueless as you are. However, I heard that there’ll be a commencement event in two days in the form of a press conference. Therefore, we had better be prepared, as reporters nowadays can be very demanding. Who knows what sort of questions will be thrown out by them, especially toward someone new like you who doesn’t have any background.”

The grateful Roxanne replied, “Thanks for giving me the heads-up, Larry. I’ll make the necessary preparations.”

Nonetheless, Larry quickly followed up. “Anyway, congratulations, Dr. Jarvis. Your reputation in this country has finally gained some traction.”

Roxanne pursed her lips into a smile. “I hope that I won’t let everyone down.”

“I’m sure you won’t,” Larry reassured her.

As the purpose of Larry’s call was to compliment her, both of them exchange further pleasantries before ending it.

Subsequently, Roxanne, still having trouble accepting the fact, sat on her bed with her legs crossed while checking the morning news.

Just as expected, she saw the news relating to the Damaris family’s project where the list of partners was also attached.

On that list, her name was right below Larry’s, followed by Daniel and other famous doctors within the country.

In spite of that, Roxanne—staring at the list—was still a bundle of nerves, for she had joined as someone new.

Having not heard from her professor in a very long time, Roxanne’s face lit up in joy. “You heard it already? I had only wanted to tell you once everything is set.”

Harvey smiled as he sidestepped her reply. “Well done. Anyway, I’ve gone through the list and saw many local pioneers there. Compared to them, you and Larry are relatively more inexperienced.”

His comment struck a chord with Roxanne’s insecurities, triggering a dejected expression to descend upon her face.

Given how well Harvey knew his student, he could imagine her reaction without even looking. Thus, he—with a smile—consoled her, “Having said that, you don’t have to feel anxious about the matter, as I have confidence in your capabilities. Besides, you’re a student of the great Harvey Lambert. If anyone dares to doubt you, you can get them to see me.”

Harvey’s words succeeded in reassuring Roxanne. “I understand. Thank you, Professor Lambert. I won’t disappoint you.”
