Chapter 636

“If you’re fine with it, can we join you?” Jessica slowly looked away from Roxanne and smiled at the others.

Upon hearing that, the people shared a look with each other. They were already done talking about the main topic, and the woman was close to Jack, so they could not possibly reject her.

An error occurred. Please try again later The people nodded at Jack to gesture to him that they did not mind. Seeing that, Jack had no choice but to agree to it. “Join us, then.”

He then asked the server to add another seat.

Jessica headed straight for the space that Jack had made. Then, as if finally seeing Roxanne, she glanced at Roxanne with a shocked expression before turning to look at Jack in confusion. “Is this lady with you?”

Jack nodded in affirmation. “This is Dr. Jarvis.”

Roxanne did not know what Jessica was thinking about; she thought Jessica was doubting her abilities like the other doctors, so she smiled and greeted, “You can just call me Dr. Jarvis.”

Jessica gave her a once-over. When she noticed Roxanne’s exceptional appearance and thought about how Roxanne was in the same industry as Jack, as well as how Jack was friendly with her, a hint of animosity flashed past Jessica’s eyes.

Still, she gave Roxanne a faint smile and said, “You’re impressive, Dr. Jarvis. You’re young, but you’re already working with the big shots in the medical world.”

Roxanne pressed her lips together and flashed Jessica a humble smile. “I’m just lucky.”

When the server brought a chair over. Jessica did not budge from between Roxanne’s and Jack’s seats. There was no telling if she was doing that intentionally or not.

Roxanne did not think much about it as she stood up and moved her chair to give space for Jessica.

Jessica curled her lips and took her seat beside Jack’s without hesitation. She then raised her head to look at Jack, who was still chatting away with the others with admiration in her eyes..

Jack did not notice the subtle happenings at the side. He was too preoccupied with toasting the other doctors..

“Jack has been outstanding since he was young, but due to the Damaris family’s rules, he rarely interacts with girls. The only exception is me, who grew up with him,” Jessica mentioned in deliberate nonchalance.

However, Roxanne was the only one who could hear what she said.

Confusion danced across Roxanne’s mind when she heard the other woman’s words. But still, for the sake of politeness, she smiled and replied, “You must be close to Mr. Damaris, then.”

Jessica turned to give her a look. Roxanne continued to smile at her sincerely. At the sight of that, Jessica furrowed her brows and continued dubiously, “How did you get to know Jack?”

Roxanne confessed, “Old Mr. Queen recommended me to the Damaris family’s medical consultation the other time, so I had the pleasure to aid the children with Mr. Damaris.”

Jessica’s heart sank again when she heard. that.

The Hightower family was also involved in the medical world, but the medical skills she had were not enough to gain her a chance to attend the medical consultation with Jack.

Nevertheless, Jessica knew well the processes involved in the Damaris family’s medical consultation.

Therefore, she could imagine how close the two had been upon hearing Roxanne’s answer.

“Is that so? It seems that you’re much more skillful than I thought if you could attend the medical consultation with Jack.” Jessica praised unwillingly. “Jack must think well of you.”

Roxanne could sense something amiss, and for a moment, she did not know how to answer Jessica.

No matter what she said in response to Jessica’s words, it would seem as if her relationship with Jack was a romantically ambiguous one.
