Scarlett was afraid that her lies would be exposed, so she decided to find an excuse to escape halfway.
Unexpectedly, Jack's gentle voice rang in her ear. He reached out and gently stroked her hair, "Are you
having a party with friends?"
"You... Why are you here?" Scarlett was stunned and couldn't close her mouth.
Jack looked at her with a faint smile, "I happened to pass by. Is it over here? Go to a place with me."
With a gentle smile, Scarlett nodded obediently and followed him out. She looked at him with
expectation, "Jack, where are we going?"
Jack's lips curled up and his whole body was filled with a murderous look. "Scarlett, what did the sixth
term of the agreement?"
"I..."
With a loud bang in her mind, Scarlett felt the fierce killing intent. She made a cold meditation and
lowered her head, not daring to look at him.
Indeed, the two of them had signed an agreement and pretended to be a couple temporarily, but only in
the place that Jack had agreed. As for other times, the two of them had nothing to do with each other.
The sixth term was that it clearly forbade Scarlett to say anything in front of others.
Jack wanted to use this fake relationship with her to irritate Rachel, which didn't mean that Scarlett
could use it to swagger around outside.
He said coldly, "You won't forget it so soon. What did I tell you when we signed the agreement?"
"I know, I know."
Scarlett panicked and kept thinking about how to make up an excuse. "Well, Jack, they just asked me
what happened on the newspaper, so I replied them. I didn't say anything else!"
Jack glanced at her coldly, "If I know it again, you should know the consequences!"
Seeing that he was about to leave, Scarlett wanted to catch up with him in a hurry, but she was so
scared just now that her legs were weak. After only two steps, she knelt down on the ground.
The work in the executive department was very leisurely. Rachel had been sitting there for the whole
morning. When she just got up and went to the tea room to pour a cup of water, she was about to go
back to her office when a colleague shouted, "Who is available? Can someone send some documents
to the outpatient surgery department? I'm really tired."
Everyone shook their heads and didn't want to make trouble.
Rachel stopped and smiled, "Give me the file. I can help you."
The colleague looked at her swollen belly and said shyly, "No, thanks. I'll send it to there when I go to
the canteen."
"It's okay. It's not troublesome."
It was not because Rachel was warm-hearted, but because she had been sitting here for so long today,
she really wanted to go out and take two steps. This was just the right time.
Hearing what Rachel said, the colleague hesitated for a while, but still handed the document to her with
a smile, "Thank you."
Putting the teacup back to her office, Rachel took the documents and slowly walked towards the
outpatient surgery department. She took a walk. Looking at the passers-by and the doctors who were
so busy that they wanted to have two wheels on their feet, she couldn't help but miss them. But now
she had a ball with her. She didn't care about it herself, but Victor and Jonathan didn't agree.
When they arrived at the surgery outpatient department, Rachel put the documents on the nurse desk
and asked, "Is Director Chen still in consultation? Please pass this document to him later."
"Okay." The nurse took it and widened her eyes the moment she raised her head.
Rachel couldn't help feeling shocked and touched her face several times subconsciously. "Is there
anything dirty?"
The nurse shook her hand and denied, "No."
However, the expression in her eyes still made her feel uncomfortable, so after coming out of the
outpatient surgery, she dialed a number to the phone of Celia, "Is there any gossip about me these two
days?"
That was the only reason she could think of.
Celia was still sleeping when she received the phone call. In a daze, she replied, "Isn't it the previous
news? I've made it clear to everyone. Don't worry."
"But when I went to surgery today, I always felt that the nurse looked at me strangely."
When she was talking on the phone, Rachel bumped into a man on the other side of the line. When
she was about to say sorry, she swallowed her words. Rachel bypassed her and continued to walk
forward.
A woman's shrill and arrogant voice came from behind, "Miss Rachel, since we bumped into each
other, why didn't you say something? You are so impolite?"
The voice was not low, and Celia heard it clearly on the other end of the phone. She asked curiously,
"Rachel, who did you meet? Why is she so arrogant?"
"She didn't talk to me. I have something to deal with. Bye."
After hanging up the phone in a hurry, Rachel stopped and asked coldly without looking back, "We are
not that familiar to greet each other, are we?"
Scarlett opened her mouth and didn't know what to say.
She couldn't continue the following words, but if she said they were familiar, it would be too
embarrassing!
But when she continued to walk forward, Scarlett was still unwilling to give up. She raised her voice
and asked, "Rachel, you don't wonder why Jack is with me again?"
"It has nothing to do with me." Although Rachel pretended to be strong, the dark light in her eyes still
revealed her current mood.
Scarlett was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She fell on the street and her knees were red, swollen
and bleeding. She took a taxi deliberately to this hospital in order to embarrass Rachel, but she didn't
expect that she was still at a disadvantage in the end.
She was so angry that she gritted her teeth and glared at her receding figure!
When she returned to her office, Rachel rubbed her temples. Although it was just a slight glance, she
still spotted the bandaged wound on Scarlett's knees. On second thought, she had a good explanation
for the strange eyes of the surgical nurse.
However, she didn't expect that there was a deeper meaning behind it.
On the other side, when Celia received the phone call from Rachel, she was no longer sleepy. She sat
up with the quilt in her arms and immediately found the phone number of a nurse from the surgery
department from her address book. After waiting for a long time, she finally answered the phone.
Impatient as she was, she didn't have time to say a few decent words and directly asked, "Is there any
big news today?"
"Hey, how do you know?" At the mention of gossips, they became excited.
Celia held her breath and listened. The more she listened, the gloomier her face became.
It turned out that Scarlett had gone to the surgery department to bind up the wound on her leg.
Because of her somewhat similar appearance with Rachel, everyone had a deep impression on her, so
they more or less fixed their eyes on her for a while.
As expected, Scarlett took out her phone and said to the man on the other end of the phone in a sweet
voice, "Jack, when will you pick me up? I have dealt with it."
This sentence was like a slap in the face of what Rachel had said before.
Now everyone seemed to know what was going on.
The other side of the phone kept talking about the speculations of the surgery nurses about the
development of the story. In no mood to continue listening, Celia directly hung up the phone.
Marcus happened to buy some breakfast and brought it to Celia. Seeing that she was still in the
bedroom, he pushed the door open and walked in. As usual, he hugged her from behind and said in a
gentle voice, "I bought some breakfast. Let's go out and have some together."
Celia frowned and forced a smile. "I have no appetite."
Seeing this, Marcus thought that she was not feeling well, so he reached out to feel the temperature on
her forehead. "You don't have a fever, why do you suddenly lose your appetite? I bought your favorite
steamed buns and millet porridge."
When she saw the man swaying in front of her, Celia couldn't help but think of what the surgical nurse
had just said. She closed her eyes irritably and said coldly, "I just have no appetite. Why do you have
so many questions?"
Marcus was stunned for a moment. They were fine last night. Why was she so angry in the early
morning?
He leaned forward shamelessly and said carefully, "Okay, then you don't eat."
"Why not? You already bought them." Celia seemed to be making trouble out of nothing.
Marcus frowned and asked tentatively, "Then I'll eat?"
"Take them to your own home. Don't stay here. It's annoying to see you!" Celia crossed her arms over
her chest and turned her head away.
Birds of a feather flock together. Marcus was afraid it won't be long before he becomes the second
Jack!
Marcus touched his nose, confused and aggrieved. He had to sit in the living room and wait until her
anger dissipated.
He didn't expect that she was now involved for no reason because of his best friend.
For the whole day, Rachel became a hot topic in other people's eyes, but she seemed not to notice it
and had been busy with her work. When it was time to get off work, she didn't stay any longer and
directly turned off the computer and left.
When they just arrived at the door and were about to take a taxi, a black car stopped in front of them.
The window was slowly rolled down. Jack said in a deep voice, "Get in the car."
As if she hadn't heard it, Rachel walked around the corner indifferently and walked to the back of the
car. She waved at a taxi that was slowly coming. When Jack got out of the car, he saw the taxi driving
out. It was too late to stop it.
