“Why would he refuse to talk about work? Isn’t it better to finalize a contract that would bring him profits as soon as possible?” Lucian asked calmly in an attempt to go with the flow.

Roxanne’s eyes went wide as she recalled what happened earlier. She couldn’t bring herself to tell him that their negotiation failed because she turned down Jack’s confession.

While she did not have feelings for Jack, she believed that a confession was a private thing, so she didn’t want to reveal it to Lucian.
