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 accident last
time. Hearing that, Jack and Colby exchanged glances, 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.”

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 glanced at Colby, who was standing outside the car. “Or do you prefer to have Dr. Galloway
send you home?”
Roxanne instinctively glanced 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 explained, “I don’t mean that—”
Before she could even finish, Jack flashed 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 explained 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.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing 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 plausible 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.
Alas, 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.
