Seeing that she had returned to normal, Kailey breathed a sigh of relief. Then she thought of her
serious business coming here today and asked, "Cousin, our bar has been open for a week and the
business is good. We are thinking about opening a branch shop. Cousin, do you want to invest more
money?"
"I don't have money." Scarlett paused and said lightly.
As if she had heard a joke, Kailey laughed and said, "Cousin, how could you not have money? If you
don't have money now, you can ask Jack to give you some. If we don't seize this opportunity and make
more money now, we will definitely be looked down upon by others in the future. Besides, even if you
marry a rich man, you have to have your own career at that time!"
These words were like needles stabbing into Scarlett's heart, but she still held them back. She bit her
lips and said, "I don't need that. I invested in your bar. If only I could make it back."
She asked, "Didn't you say that you've made profits? Then return me some money these days."
"Well," as soon as Kailey heard that Scarlett was going to take the money out of her, she immediately
stood up, scratched her hair and said, "Cousin, we all settle accounts once a month. I can't give it to
you now."
"Do you have some money with you? Give me some first." Scarlett used to use credit cards before and
didn't have much cash with her. Now, two credit cards had been taken back by Jack. She was almost
penniless.
Kailey widened her eyes and looked at her in shock. She said in a trembling voice, "How, how can I
have money? Cousin, it suddenly occurred to me that I still have something to do. I have to go now."
Although Jack had moved back, the way the two got along with each other did not change much. Under
her intentional escape, the two did not have much chance to meet.
After resting at home for a day, Rachel felt much better and went back to work. Not long after she sat
down, Celia pushed the office door open and poked her head in. "Rachel, are you busy now? Can I
come in?"
"Come in." Rachel was a little surprised. Celia always just came in directly but this time she was so shy
and polite.
Putting down the documents in her hands, Rachel saw that she was sitting on the sofa in front of her
desk, with her hands on her legs, and seriously looking ahead. The doubts in Rachel's heart suddenly
became even worse. "Did you take the wrong medicine today? Or you didn't take any?"
"Rachel..." Celia's voice was as low as an ant's.
Seeing her like this, Rachel was at a loss whether to cry or to laugh. She said, "Can you talk to me
nicely? It's so strange! I have goose bumps."
As soon as she finished speaking, Celia sighed heavily. She leaned back, stretched out her hands and
feet, and sat on the sofa in a big square. She said with a depressed face, "I just said that I was not
suitable for any lady style! But now, if I want to marry Marcus, his mother said I must make changes."
It was because of this.
Rachel smiled, "You were too serious just now. You must be very tired. In fact, you just need to pay
attention to it."
"But I still feel tired. Rachel, you know what? When I thought of going to the Ji family's house to have
dinner with his parents, my hands kept shaking!" Celia raised her right hand and stopped in the air,
trembling several times.
"Don't think too much. Just relax." Looking at the distressed look on Celia's face, Rachel tried her best
to hold back the smile at the corners of her mouth.
Celia rubbed his face with his hands and nodded. Then he looked up at her and asked, "Rachel, are
you free at noon? Go to the shopping mall with me. I don't think I have any clothes for myself to wear at
night."
Rachel had planned to have a good rest in the office at noon, but when she saw the pleading eyes of
Celia, her heart softened and she agreed.
After lunch, she went to a shopping mall near the hospital with Celia and entered a brand shop she
often went.
Sitting on the sofa, Rachel saw that Celia put a dress beside her and showed it to Rachel. "Rachel, is
this suit okay?"
"Not bad. Why don't you go and change it to see if it works?" Replied Rachel.
Celia took the suitable size and entered the fitting room, but soon came out again. She shook her head
and said to Rachel, "No, it not works on me."
"Then let's go to another shop." Looking at her drooping head, Rachel chuckled and raised her hand to
rub her head. "We just start shopping. There are so many stores here, and we can always find suitable
clothes."
The two of them walked out of the clothing store, talking and laughing. They didn't notice that another
figure was standing behind a pot of green plants.
Gritting her teeth in anger, Scarlett glared at the back of Rachel. The sadness caused by jealousy had
reached a state of unbearable pain.
She didn't expect that the Ning City was so small. She just came out for a meal and could meet Rachel!
The shop assistant held several new arrivals of this season in her hands and flattered, "Miss, these
clothes are very suitable for you. Would you like to try them on?"
"No, thanks." She just wanted to buy some bread to fill her stomach, but she habitually walked into the
shop.
She was a frequent customer of this shop, so the shop assistant greeted her warmly as soon as she
saw her.
In the past, Scarlett would ask the shop assistant to pack all these clothes without even looking at
them. But now, thinking of her financial situation, she deliberately picked up these dresses, glanced at
them, and pretended to be critical. "These styles look a little fat on me. I don't think they fit me well.
You'd better put them back."
"It doesn't matter if you don't like them. We have many new styles in our shop." The shop assistant
insisted.
Biting her lips, Scarlett thought for a while and asked, "Don't take it now. I have something to ask you."
"Miss Scarlett, what's the matter?"
Scarlett hesitated for a few seconds and said, "I bought a lot of new clothes in your shop, and the tag is
still there. Can I return them?"
Return? As soon as the shop assistant heard this word, the expression on her face immediately
changed. She shook her head and changed her attitude a lot. "No, the goods have been sold out
cannot be returned."
Then she hung up the clothes in her hands and walked to the cashier's desk. She whispered to the
other shop assistants, "Is Scarlett dumped? She just asked me if her clothes could be returned. It's
disgusting."
"Probably. Look at her. She didn't buy any clothes when she came here today."
Although their voices were very low, Scarlett was already sensitive, and now she heard these words
word by word. She clenched her fists, recalling the smile on Rachel's face just now and her pregnant
belly, and felt even more uncomfortable!
Why could she go shopping leisurely and give birth to a baby for her beloved man? But she was looked
down upon by the shop assistant!
After shopping with Celia for nearly an hour, they finally bought a light yellow dress before going to
work.
However, Celia still felt a little uneasy. Wearing a dress, she kept lowering her head and asked,
"Rachel, is this dress really okay? Why do I still feel that I am not that elegant on that dress?"
"Of course you are." Rachel nodded firmly. "Don't you believe my taste? Celia, don't be so nervous."
"Really?" Celia still looked flustered. She sighed deeply, took Rachel's hand and said, "I think my heart
is beating fast that it seems to jump out of my breast!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the phone rang. Rachel and Celia looked down, and found that their
phones rang at the same time.
The two walked to a quiet place respectively and answered the phone. "What's up?" asked Rachel
coldly.
Jack asked in a soft voice, "Where are you now? I'll pick you up later. In the afternoon, let's go to the
mall to buy the baby bed. What do you think?"
"No need, thanks." Rachel refused.
Two days ago, Rachel casually mentioned to Julie that she wanted to buy a baby bed. Now, Jack called
her and asked her to see it together. He must have heard it from Julie.
Jack continued to ask, "Where are you now?"
Rachel lied. "I'm having a meeting outside."
But as soon as Jack finished his words, a smiling face suddenly appeared in front of Rachel. He smiled
and asked, "So you are having a meeting here."
As soon as she saw Marcus behind him, Rachel knew what was going on. Instead, she calmed down
and said calmly, "I'm going to have a meeting in about ten minutes."
"But I just called your Director to ask for leave for you." Jack shook his phone.
"You!" Rachel opened her eyes wide and said, "It's none of your business."
"I don't think so." Jack shrugged his shoulders and answered frankly. Looking at Celia and Marcus, who
were walking towards them, he naturally put his hands on the waist of Rachel. He smiled and said in a
voice that could only be heard by the two, "If you don't want your friends to worry about you, then you
should behave well, understand?"
'Shit! He is threatening me!' But Rachel stopped struggling.
Yes, she was threatened by him, because once Celia knew it, she would definitely tell Lea, which would
affect her baby. If something happened to the baby in her belly, Rachel really couldn't afford it.
Holding Marcus's arm, Celia walked over. The smile at the corners of her mouth was instantly much
more confident than before. "Rachel, Marcus and I are leaving, we still have something to do."
"Okay, see you."
