Nevertheless, none of them could reach a conclusion even after spending the whole afternoon on it. One of the experienced team leaders heaved a sigh and stated, “Damaris Group produces one of the highest quality medicinal herbs in the world. It will be challenging to find herbs that can rival them. Moreover, we need these medicinal herbs in large quantities, which makes it even more difficult.”
Everyone was at a loss for what to do, especially since he also could not come up with anything. “If there’s no other way, we can only make concessions on the pricing.”
One of the team leaders had already thought about the worst possibility. Everyone was in a state of despair in the conference room. Roxanne’s heart sank to rock bottom. She had no choice but to conclude the meeting since it was already time for lunch.
“Let’s stop here today. I hope you guys can keep this from the workers and let this information stay within us. There’s no need to spread negativity in the research institute. I’ll think of something in the meantime.”
Everyone assented. Suddenly thinking of something, Roxanne smiled at them. “The atmosphere in the research institute has been too tense recently. You guys can organize a team lunch and bring your respective teams out this afternoon. I’ll settle the bills.”
She wanted to lighten the atmosphere in the research institute. Everyone understood her intentions and agreed to do it.
Roxanne watched them leave the conference room. As she was in no mood to eat, she sat in the room alone, trying to think of any way to resolve this crisis. She considered calling Harvey because she knew he would be overjoyed that she had developed such a medicine.
Harvey was very reputable in the industry, so he might know medicinal herb suppliers who supplied high-quality medicinal herbs. She took out her phone to call him when Lucian’s call came in. Roxanne recomposed herself before answering. the phone.
“Have you eaten?” Lucian’s deep voice sounded beside her ear. It was extremely comforting. Roxanne couldn’t help but feel aggrieved upon hearing his voice. “I haven’t eaten. I’ve been busy the whole afternoon, but I don’t have any appetite.”
“Come out. I’m outside the research institute.” Lucian seemed to have predicted her situation. His voice was warm and caring. Roxanne’s eyes lit up, and she walked out. “Why are you here? Aren’t you working?”
Lucian replied affectionately, “Even a CEO has to eat. Also, I tired you out yesterday, so I have to make it up to you today, or else I’m afraid you will sleep in the guest room.”
As the events of last night replayed in her mind, Roxanne’s face gradually flushed bright red, and she instinctively scanned her surroundings.
She breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing no one near her and reproached, “Stop saying such nonsense. I’m almost out of the company!”
Lucian chuckled and didn’t say anything. He didn’t hang up the call either. Roxanne immediately saw the familiar Bentley when she walked out of the research institute. The car window facing the research institute was lowered so everyone who came out of the institute could see Lucian inside the car.
Lucian saw her and hung up the phone before alighting from the vehicle. Roxanne quickly walked over and got in the car with him.
“What do you want to eat?” Lucian asked her as he got in the car from the other side. As he spoke, he sneaked a peek at her from the rearview mirror. Her expression was the same as last night. I’m right. The problem with Damaris Group is still unresolved, and it has taken a turn for the worse.
