She chuckled, "Lea, why do have a good temper?"
"Look at him. What things can he do?" The corners of Lea's mouth twitched.
Rachel handed the freshly washed apple to her and said, "Okay, eat an apple and calm down. Henry
doesn't do these in usual, and he won't get used to it if you let him do it temporarily."
Henry immediately turned around and looked at Rachel with gratitude. With a faint smile on her face,
she took out some things from the bag and put them in front of Lea. "These are for you. They are good
for the baby."
"Rachel, what do you want me to say? How could you be so considerate?" Tears welled up in Lea's
eyes. She reached out to grab Rachel's hand and sobbed two times, as if she was going to cry out the
next second.
Rachel comforted. "It's not a big deal. Besides, I didn't buy these for you especially. They are just my
leftovers. It's a waste to throw them at home. I'd rather give them to you as a personal gift."
Lea stopped crying and snorted.
In the early stage of pregnancy, everyone's symptoms were different, and now, Lea was very
emotional, so it was difficult to control her emotions.
After helping Henry pack up her things, Rachel's phone suddenly rang, She took a look at Jimmy's
name on the screen. After thinking for a while, she greeted him, walked out, answered the phone and
asked, "What's up, Jimmy?"
Jimmy took a deep breath, seeming to hold back his anger. He gritted his teeth and said, "Dr. Rachel,
what's going on? Why did they suddenly call and say that he couldn't give the goods to us?"
"What?" Rachel was shocked.
Jimmy said anxiously, "Now they don't even answer the phone. We still owe our customers a lot of
goods. If they don't give us, how can we deliver them?"
Gradually, Rachel figured out why Jimmy was so excited. She said, "Don't be so excited. Let me know
about those details."
"Okay!"
Jimmy took a deep breath, calmed down and said, "We pay the money on time every time, and we
never owe a penny. Can you help me explain it and know about the reason? If they think the price is
too low, we can negotiate again. But don't refuse us at all!"
Hearing what he said, Rachel felt her head was buzzing. She had to comfort Jimmy for the time being,
but she frowned tightly.
After hanging up the phone, Rachel turned around and went back to Lea's ward. She said there was
something urgent and hurried to her office. She had to find a quiet place and call Jared to ask him what
was going on.
With a straight face, Jared sat at his desk, frowning tightly. In just a few minutes, he sighed more than a
dozen times.
Standing aside, Jared's assistant, Pearson was confused. Jared had always been the most cheerful
and approachable leader in the company. He always smiled at his subordinates and never had a
straight face. But why did he look like this today?
Out of curiosity, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Mr. Jared, do you lose your love? It seems that
you are not in a good mood today... "
"Nothing." After saying that, Jared couldn't help but sigh heavily.
At this time, a buzzing sound of mobile phone was particularly loud in the quiet space. Seeing that
Jared didn't move, Pearson thought he was too absorbed in thinking, so he didn't hear it and reminded
him, "Mr. Jared, your mobile phone is ringing."
"I know."
Jared had already noticed the name on it. He rubbed his wet hands and was at a loss.
He really didn't know how to answer the phone. But she had the right to make it clear...
He thought for a while and waved his hand in the air, indicating Pearson to go out first. Then he took a
deep breath, picked up the phone and asked slowly, "Dr. Rachel, why do you call me all of a sudden?"
"I just want to ask something about Jimmy. He just told me..." After all, Rachel was asking him for help,
so she tried to lower her voice.
Before she could finish her question, Jared interrupted her and said awkwardly, "Dr. Rachel, I'm sorry
for what happened this time, but I can't make a decision on this matter."
"I see." Hearing this, Rachel knew that there was no point in saying more. She smiled faintly and said,
"In that case, I won't disturb you. I'm hanging up."
"Wait a minute." Jared thought for a while and finally stopped her. He raised his hand and touched his
nose. After hesitating for a few seconds, he said, "I know it has caused a lot of trouble to Mr. Jimmy, but
I have been ordered to stop this business. If I don't agree, I'm afraid it's difficult for my company to
continue."
With a faint smile on her lips, Rachel said, "Okay, I know."
The phone in his hand suddenly became a little hot. Jared's words were very euphemistic, but clearly
expressed that the reason why they cancelled the cooperation this time was not because of the
unhappiness of the cooperation, but because someone suddenly intervened.
Although he didn't tell her, Rachel had already guessed who did this.
It was her who built the bridge for Jimmy. She had planned to give him some help, but now it caused
him such a big trouble. Rachel felt sorry for him.
The small electric shop was crowded with people.
Surrounded by them, Jimmy kept shouting, "Don't worry. We will ask the manufacturer to deliver the
electric appliances as soon as possible. It won't take you too long."
That was what Rachel saw when she came in and felt guiltier.
She stood aside and waited for a long time. It was not easy to see him comfort the customers. He
walked to the side, picked up the kettle and drank it up in one gulp. His face was full of sadness and
tiredness.
Rachel walked up to him, stood beside him and asked in a low voice, "Jimmy, how's the shop going
now?"
"Dr. Rachel, how's going on?" As soon as Jimmy saw her, his eyes lit up, but when he saw that Rachel
shook her head, his eyes suddenly darkened. He clenched his right hand into a fist and hammered the
cabinet beside him. "If they don't want to, forget it."
"What about you?" Asked Rachel.
He turned his head and looked at the customers who had just gone out. He reached out his hand to
pinch between his eyebrows and said wearily, "I have no choice. I have to take some goods from the
previous dealers to deal with them. I'm afraid we will lose a lot this time."
Although the profit was little before, they still made money in the end. But this time, they would lose
money directly.
Rachel felt that it had something to do with her.
She had asked Jimmy to lower the price. But now the relationship was cut off.
And the reason was also because of her!
Jimmy took a deep look at her and patted her shoulder gently. "Forget it. Maybe we failed with the
cooperation because of something wrong on our side. Thank you for your previous help."
His words made Rachel feel even worse, and a trace of bitterness appeared in her throat.
After thinking about it for a long time, this matter was still like a fish bone standing in the heart, and
could not be dispersed for a long time.
If she hadn't intervened in this matter at the beginning, then what happened now naturally had nothing
to do with her.
But now, it was all her fault. She couldn't sit by and do nothing. Finally, Rachel took out her phone and
sent a message to Jack, "Do you have time to see me tomorrow afternoon?"
Jack was surprised to see this message, but he was not very excited, because he knew that she came
to him just for another man.
As soon as Scarlett came out of the kitchen, she saw him sitting on the sofa in a daze with his mobile
phone. She pursed her lips and walked up deliberately. "Jack, I have a friend getting married next
week. Will you go with me?"
"Let's talk about it later." Jack answered perfunctorily.
Although the two of them lived under the same roof, every time Scarlett approached, Jack would
definitely stand up and leave. Now he was still the same. When he stood up, Scarlett reached out and
grabbed the corner of his clothes. "Jack, can't you sit here with me? Can you have a chat with me?"
Jack was speechless.
He took her hand off and went straight back to his room. The photo of Rachel on the bedside table was
very conspicuous.
On the second day, after quickly dealing with the things at hand, Rachel said goodbye to her
colleagues and went out of work. She went to the appointed coffee shop, ordered a cup of water and
sat quietly for a long time. She didn't expect that it was not Jack, but Austin who came.
He scratched his hair and looked a little embarrassed. "Miss Rachel, Mr. Jack has something urgent to
deal with, so he asked me to come here first."
"Well, when will he come?" Rachel lowered her eyes to hide her disappointment.
Austin curved his lips and replied, "I don't know."
In fact, Jack didn't have anything urgent to do at all. Thinking of it now, Austin still felt regretful that
Austin shouldn't have chosen that time to enter Jack's office.
At that time, seeing that there was nothing else at hand, Austin wanted to skip work and go home to
have a rest. So he knocked on the door of Jack's office and asked, "Boss, nothing important is left. Can
I get off work earlier today?"
"What are you going to do after work?" Jack looked up at him.
Austin laughed. "I'm going home to play games."
'To play games...'
The pen rotated in Jack's hand for a few times. He frowned and said, "Then you can help me do
something."
