    Chapter 698 Keep This A Secret


    Roxanne couldn''t quite believe her ears. She froze for a good few seconds before shing him a grateful smile. “In that case, I''ll


    give our coboration my best effort.”


    Jack raised his ss and said, “Great! On behalf of all the other partners, | hereby thank you for working with us! Here’s to our


    partnership!”


    Roxanne chuckled as she clinked sses with him. Jack sure has been a great help to me all this while! For some reason, |


    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, | thought he was calling me cute!


    Roxanne pinched herself underneath the table to snap herself out of it.


    No, no, no! What am | thinking? What has gotten into metely? Why have | been having such crazy thoughts? Jack is


    complimenting my kids, for goodness’ sake! Why did | 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 | should bring them some presents. What would they like?” Jack asked.Original content from N?velDrama.Org.


    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. | 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 | shall dly ept 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 | bought them, so | don’t really know what they actually like. Hmm... If | 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.
