Chapter 1001


    Chapter 1001 See Him As A Friend


    “What’s wrong?” Jack and Colby were both gentlemen. They wanted to wait for Roxanne to leave


    before leaving. However, Roxanne’s car was still parked at the same spot even after they had waited


    for some time. Thus, they went up to check on her.


    Roxanne felt a little helpless. “The car’s broken.” Maybe some parts weren’t fully repaired from the


    identst time. Hearing that, Jack and Colby exchanged nces, and Jack offered, “Let me help


    you to check.”


    With that, he got into the vehicle to check on it. He had always been interested in cars, so he thought


    something like that was happening because Roxanne did not understand them enough.


    Just as he was about to get to work, he heard Roxanne say, “This car was knocked by another car


    some time ago. Maybe the mechanics missed a few parts. I’ll get it repaired another day.”


    At that, Jack stopped whatever he was about to do. Since she already knows what the problem is, then


    it’s definitely not a man-made problem. “Then… Let me send you home,” Jack offered.


    However, Roxanne hesitated for a moment. “Oh, there’s no need to bother, Mr. Damaris. My house is in


    the opposite direction of yours.”


    Raising his brow, Jack nced at Colby, who was standing outside the car. “Or do you prefer to have


    Dr. Galloway send you home?”


    Roxanne instinctively nced in the same direction. When Colby noticed their gazes were fixed on


    him, he could not help but frown in confusion.


    Roxanne hurriedly retracted her gaze and exined, “I don’t mean that—”


    Before she could even finish, Jack shed a half-smile and interrupted, “Don’t worry. That’s not what I


    meant, either. I’m just doing my duties as a business partner.”


    Since he had spelled things out so clearly, Roxanne could not refuse the offer.


    “In that case, I’ll have to trouble you, then.”


    Jack shrugged indifferently. “It’s my pleasure.”


    With that, the two got out of the car.


    Colby was even more confused when he saw Roxanne getting out of the car as well. “What’s wrong


    with it?”


    Jack exined before Roxanne could even answer, “There’s a slight malfunction, so I’ll be sending Ms.


    Jarvis home.”


    “But isn’t your house and Dr. Jarvis’ in different directions?” Colby furrowed his brows, eyeing Roxanne


    curiously.


    Judging by her character, she wouldn’t want to trouble Jack.


    Jack hurriedly answered, “I have some matters to deal with in that area.”


    At the same time, Roxanne merely nodded as a tacit confirmation.


    Seeing that, Colby had no choice but to give in and say, “Be careful.”


    The other two nodded. With that, they passed by Colby and got into Jack’s car.


    While Colby watched the car fade into the distance, his expression slowly turned glum.


    I remember they were both looking at me just now. If I guessed it correctly, Roxanne must’ve chosen


    Jack earlier.


    Following that line of thought, Colby felt his blood boil.


    Him again! Roxanne will never notice me as long as there are others around. To her, I’ll always be a


    business partner. Why is it that she can see Jack as a friend? She has known me longer than him.


    The only usible reason Colby could think of was the difference in his and Jack’s status.


    Silently, he swore to himself that he would one day rise to a level that Roxanne could not reach.

    s, Roxanne was clueless about Colby’s thoughts as she sat in Jack’s car, feeling a little uneasy.


    She originally wanted to take the backseat, but she figured it would be impolite. Therefore, she decided


    to take the front passenger seat.


    Though the car had been driving on the road for some time, Jack seemed to have no intentions of


    talking, which made her feel slightly awkward.
