Rachel looked at Celia and smile. It couldn't be told what was on her mind. She said slowly, "Is that so?
I can't fight with that woman, nor can I get even with Jack. I can't be angry because I'm afraid that it will
affect my baby, so that's the reason why I said that this matter has nothing to do with me."
She smiled and said, "It's late, Celia. You should go back to the duty now."
In a daze, Celia nodded and walked out of the office. She closed the door and slowly retracted her
hand from the doorknob. Tilting her head, Celia still couldn't figure it out.
She came here this morning to see Rachel's reaction, and also wanted to hide it from her. According to
her character, Celia must have found Jack to make it clear. But now she was persuaded to come out of
the office without saying a word?
In the office, the smile at the corners of Rachel's mouth disappeared. She reached out to take the
newspaper back and spread it in front of her.
The bite mark on her lips was still very obvious. She reached out her hand to touch it which had scabs.
Rachel sneered. Last night, she held her in her arms and questioned herself why she couldn't forgive
him. But soon he went to have fun with another woman, which was also reported in the newspaper.
How could she forgive such a person and such a behavior?
Rachel felt it was ridiculous that she was even worried about Jack last night and called Michael to ask
him to take care of Jack.
Now she realized that something Julie put into the cabinet must be the newspaper today.
Rachel raised her hand and rubbed her face. Although she kept telling herself not to care and think too
much, she still couldn't help but feel a little bitter and heartache.
Scarlett packed up in the whole morning and finally put all the things she needed into the suitcase. By
the way, she carefully folded the note with an address and put it into her bag. When she was about to
go out, the doorbell rang.
She opened the door in a hurry, only to see a figure rushing over, holding her neck and hanging directly
on her body, screaming, "Cousin, it's been long time not to see you."
It was Scarlett's younger cousin, Kailey Chen, who had been working as a receptionist in a hotel in
another city before. Because of the expense spent on home-visiting and low salary, few vacations, she
would only come back for a few days at the end of the year.
Scarlett pressed her shoulder and asked, "Are you fired again?"
Kailey Chen took a step back and scratched her hair. "No, I quit."
When she was a student, she didn't get good grades, so after graduation from a vocational high school,
she went to another city with others. But she hadn't had a stable job and often changed a job every two
months.
When her family saw that she had been working in the hotel for nearly two years, they thought that she
had finally been stable. But she didn't expect that Kailey Chen would come back temporarily today.
Seeing that Scarlett frowning, Kailey Chen immediately pulled her arm and said fawningly, "Sister, our
relationship has always been the best. My parents don't know that I'm back. Please help me hide it
from them. If they know that I lost my job again, they must give me another lesson!"
Scarlett's mouth twitched. When she was about to teach her a lesson, her phone rang. The appointed
taxi driver said that he had arrived downstairs, so she had to give up and poked her forehead. "I'll teach
you a lesson when I'm available."
Kailey Chen chuckled and saw the suitcase in Scarlett's hand. She asked, "Cousin, are you going out?"
Speaking of this, the corners of Scarlett's mouth immediately rose, and her eyebrows were dancing. "I
found a boyfriend. He just gave me a house and let me move in."
"How about I go with you?"
Unable to resist her request, and Scarlett wanted to show off in front of her cousin, they went to the
community together and found the house. When she opened the door with the key, she heard Kailey
Chen's exclamation.
She kept asking, "Cousin, what kind of boyfriend do you find? How could he give you such a good
house?"
"This house is even better than the presidential suite in my hotel."
Hearing her constant questions, Scarlett's vanity was satisfied at once. She smiled proudly and said, "I
will introduce him to you some day."
"Forget it. It's just a shame for you to introduce others your cousin like me."
Kailey Chen knew what kind of person Scarlett was very well. Kailey Chen walked up to her, held her
arm and said with a flattering smile, "When you are rich, don't forget that I'm your cousin. You know that
I have no job, no boyfriend, and no money."
Scarlett had been living an envious life for a long time. Now that she was flattered by her cousin, she
was even more proud.
Seeing her expression, Kailey Chen immediately knew that what she had said was right. She lowered
her head and saw Scarlett's folded clothes in the suitcase. She thought for a while and immediately
said, "Cousin, I didn't bring any clothes with me this time. I'm in the same shape as you. Can you give
me some clothes?"
After saying that, seeing that Scarlett was a little hesitant, Kailey Chen immediately added, "Cousin,
you have such a rich boyfriend anyway. Since he is willing to give you a good house, then he will
definitely buy you a lot of beautiful clothes. How about..."
Kailey Chen didn't finish her words on purpose, and Scarlett moved her right hand on her bag. That's
right. Jack left a bank card for her when he left. Although she didn't know how much money was in it, it
should not be less.
Besides, she really wanted to show off in front of her cousin. Scarlett waved her hand and said, "Okay,
these clothes are yours. I'll ask my boyfriend to buy me some better clothes."
As soon as Jack returned home, Julie came up to him. She looked at him from time to time, as if she
wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought.
He asked, "Have you seen the news this morning?"
"Yes." Julie nodded and added, "I didn't show to Miss Rachel. I'm afraid that she can't stand it."
"Does she?"
Jack murmured to himself. Seeing Julie's inquiring eyes, he shook his head and said nothing. Then he
turned around and went upstairs.
He pushed the door of Rachel's bedroom and saw a suitcase at the end of the bed. It was not empty,
but scattered with several clothes and her skin care products.
Jack stepped forward and squatted down. The divorce agreement inside was somewhat dazzling.
Did she really have no feelings for him and just wait to separate with him?
Did it mean that he had become a stumbling block in her path, not the person who had accompanied
her and taken her hand to complete the second half of her life?
Jack lowered his eyes and suddenly felt a little sour in his nose.
Although Rachel tried her best to act as if nothing had happened, she could still feel that her work
efficiency had obviously decreased a lot. The report, which could be finished in two hours, had taken
her a whole day.
As soon as she got out of the taxi, Julie was already waiting at the door. "Miss Rachel, Mr. Jack is
back."
"I see."
As usual, Rachel would go back to her room to change her clothes first. But when she thought that he
was upstairs, she sat down on the sofa and played with her phone.
When she heard the footsteps downstairs, she pretended not to hear it at all. She just lowered her
head and looked at the little person on the mobile game jumping up and down, which was quite
interesting.
Jack narrowed his eyes, with only bottomless darkness in them. He thought that the news had been
released for a whole day, and now, whether on the newspaper, the Internet or micro-blog, it was full of
his news.
He didn't believe that Rachel didn't see it, but she was still as calm as she was now. Jack could only
think of one thing, that she really didn't care about him.
Blue veins stood out on the back of Jack's hand holding the handrail. He closed his eyes and opened
them. The anger in his eyes had disappeared. He slowly walked forward and said coldly, "We need to
go to a dinner party tomorrow evening."
Without raising her head, Rachel replied, "I don't have time."
Jack smiled, "Have you forgotten what was written on the divorce agreement?"
'How dare he threaten me with this?'
Rachel stood up and walked directly to him. She said expressionlessly, "I only have two hours
tomorrow night!"
She didn't know what kind of dinner she was going to attend, nor did she know who would show up.
She didn't ask, nor did she have the interest to know.
The next day, when Rachel just turned off the computer on her desk and was about to leave, she heard
a knock on the door. She saw that Austin was standing at the door and smiled, "Miss Rachel, boss
asked me to pick you up."
"Okay, thank you."
In the car, Rachel knew that it was Jack who invited several employees to dinner tonight. During his
hospitalization, they were in charge of all the company's affairs.
The restaurant was located at a seafood restaurant across from the MK Group.
When Rachel and Austin arrived, the two tables in the box were already full of people. When they came
in with two people, everyone stood up. One of them looked forward and said disappointedly, "Austin,
why hasn't boss come yet? Will he not come today and we need to pay by ourselves?"
"Do you think boss is such a person?" Austin pulled out a chair and motioned for Rachel to sit down.
She saw that there was still an empty seat next to her. It must be Jack's. But it was him who asked her
to come here. Why was he late in the end?
