At the end of the day, the man was from Queen Group. Since Jonathan had left the matter to that
man‘s hand, that meant he was also one of Jonathan‘s men. Therefore, Roxanne was not going to put
him in a tough spot. What she said earlier was merely a reminder for him that the research institute was
not easy to deal with and for him to put in more effort into the matter in the future.

Coming back to his sense, Rex let out a loud sigh of relief. He then quickly held Roxanne‘s hand,
nodding vigorously. “Of course, of course!”
Roxanne shed him a polite smile. “I look forward to working with you, then.”
Rex wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and agreed to her words fervently.
On the other side, Colby was done with counting the herbs. He then asked the employees to move the
boxes in before he walked over to the other two people.
Clearly, Rex had done simr jobs before, for he quickly handed Colby the document when he saw the
other man approaching them.
Colby nced at Roxanne. Technically, the person in charge should be the one signing it.
Nevertheless, Roxanne inclined her head at Colby.
After a moment of hesitation, Colby took the document and signed it.
However, long after he signed the document, Rex did not take it back. It seemed as if thetter was lost
in his thoughts.
The corner of Colby‘s lips twitched before he nomittally urged, “Mr. Tanner?”
Hearing him, Rex snapped back to his senses and awkwardly took back the document. He then poured
another round of apologies before Roxanne used her work as an excuse for him to leave.
After watching the people from Queen Group leave, the two turned and went back into the research
institute.
“Will this batch of herbs be enough?” Roxanne asked seriously.
Colby was walking behind her when he heard her. He then nodded. “Maybe Queen Group is trying to
compensate us for how Rex rejected us yesterday because they‘ve given us a little more herbs than
we‘ve ordered. We‘ll have enough for this period of time. In fact, we might have a little more than
enough.”
Hearing that, Roxanne furrowed her brows. “Why didn‘t you say anything about that just now?”
Colby arched a brow in response. “I wanted to, but I saw that the list stated the same amount as the
amount I’ve calcted, so I didn‘t raise the issue.”
If he were to mention it around Rex, Rex would certainly take the opportunity to brush over his rejection
the day before.
There was no way Colby would give him the chance to do that.
Knowing what he was thinking about, Roxanne siniled.
Even so, she knew it was Jonathan‘s doing. She could avoid mentioning it around Rex, but she had to
thank Jonathan still.
The moment Roxanne returned to her office, she called Jonathan.
Jonathan picked up the call quickly. In fact, he even started speaking before Roxanne could. “Dr.
Jarvis, have you received the herbs from Queen Group?”
Roxanne chuckled. “I have. Yourpany’s people came earlier than I did. Moreover, I saw that
Queen Group has sent us more than I ordered. Mr. Queen, this is what you intended, right?”
Jonathan did not disagree with that. “What happened yesterday must have been troublesome for your
research institute. After you left, my grandpa chided me. Indeed, we should be held responsible for this,
but I didn‘t know how we couldpensate you. So, Dr. Jarvis, I hope you‘ll ept these herbs.”
Having Rex send the research institute more herbs than ordered was partially a selfish wish of
Jonathan–he hoped it would salvage Queen Group‘s reputation among Roxanne and the others.
Roxanne did not reject Jonathan as she knew that the extra herbs were but a trivial amount to Queen
Group. Instead, she said, “Thank you, then. It‘s true that your batch of herbs has helped resolve my
current crisis. I‘lle to you to thank you personally another day.”
“That sounds like a good idea.” Jonathan chuckled. “My grandpa has been asking about when he will
be meeting you.”
After a brief small talk, the two ended the call.
