Stuck in you

Chapter 431 An Awkward Dinner

When the group of people heard what Austin said, they all smiled to show their trust in Jack. The originally quiet box was filled with laughter for a moment.

A woman at the same table, about more than 50 years old, who was about to retire, looked at Rachel and asked with a smile, "Are you the wife of the boss? Now you are pregnant. It seems that our boss is going to be a father soon. "

With a faint smile on her face, Rachel didn't say anything. The news about Jack was just released yesterday, and she was asked by his subordinates the next day. It sounded ironic and embarrassing.

That lady talked about the problems that her daughter-in-law had encountered when she was pregnant carefully, and Rachel listened quietly. The several people at the same table didn't make any noise until they all stood up and shouted at the door of the box, "Boss."

With her back to the door of the box, Rachel couldn't see him, but the people at the same table looked at her again, with an indescribable feeling.

When she was about to look back, she suddenly heard a familiar but strange voice, "Jack, are these all your employees? There are so many people here."

"Yeah, didn't you say that you were bored at home? So I took you out by the way." Jack's voice was particularly gentle, as if it was a warm sun in winter.

But it made Rachel feel a little bitter in her throat. She tried hard to hold back the smile at the corners of her mouth and told herself that it was not a big deal!

The footsteps approached. Although Rachel looked down at the plate in front of her, she knew that the two of them bypassed her directly. When she breathed a sigh of relief, she felt a little sad.

Although they didn't sit next to him, they sat opposite her.

It meant that she'd better keep her head down during the meal, otherwise she could see the two of them as soon as she raised her head.

The lively atmosphere suddenly quieted down, and even Austin was confused, wondering what Jack was thinking.

On the one hand, Jack asked him to pick up Rachel, and on the other hand, he himself brought another woman here. The two of them seemed to love each other very much.

The people present probably had the same thought as him. Some of them who were bold and curious began to discuss in a low voice regardless of Jack.

The other two kept moving their eyes between them, glancing at Rachel and Jack.

After calming herself down, Rachel raised her head and tried to maintain a calm smile. "Everyone should be here. Don't sit here anymore. Pick up the chopsticks and enjoy the dinner!"

Then she picked up a piece of roast duck meat in front of her with chopsticks and put it in her bowl. She lowered her head and began to eat. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Withdrawing his gaze from her, Jack put an arm on Scarlett's shoulder and asked softly, "Do you like all these? If you don't like it, ask the waiter to serve more."

"No, thanks. I'm not a picky eater."

Scarlett was really overjoyed.

It was beyond her expectation that Jack would take her here to attend the dinner party in the MK Group.

Just now, when she saw that Rachel was also sitting here, her heart trembled. She was afraid that she would be kicked away by Jack again. But she never thought that he would still be so gentle to her.

Of course, Rachel heard the conversation between the two people, but she didn't say anything. It seemed that what she was eating in front of her was not just a roast duck, but the delicious food of the world, which attracted all her attention.

Several employees at the same table, as well as the people at the next table, glanced at the three of them, as if they were speculating about the relationship between the three.

But it also made the box, which should have been lively, unusually quiet. Only the sound of chopsticks colliding with the plate, and the sound of chewing could be heard.

After a while, the door of the box was pushed open from the outside. A fat middle-aged man came in with a glass of wine in one hand and a bottle of red wine in the other. He smiled and said, "Mr. Fu, I heard from the waiter that MK Group is having a dinner here. I haven't seen you for a long time, so I come in and propose a toast to you?"

As he spoke, he walked in, just standing next to Rachel. He raised the glass in his hand to Jack and said with a smile, "is this Mrs. Fu sitting next to you? So young, beautiful and lucky!"

Hearing this, all the people present looked a little strange, Rachel's heart sank, but she didn't show it on her face. She still lowered her head and ate the food in her bowl. But she couldn't help but hear Jack's laughter and reply, "You're welcome." then she looked up at him.

She saw him looking at her with a smile, but the emotion in his eyes was somewhat unpredictable.

It was said that people's emotions were the most able to be revealed in their eyes. However, as they grew older and experienced, their emotions in the eyes couldn't be read gradually.

In the past, Rachel could see through something, but now she couldn't.

Or maybe she was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Jack just replied, but he didn't raise his glass to respond. The middle-aged man was a little embarrassed, and didn't know what to do.

A man about forty stood up at once and said with a smile, "Mr. Wang, why do you bring such a small bottle of wine here? It seems that you are here to ask for wine from us."

While they were joking, the atmosphere suddenly became lively, alleviating the embarrassment of the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man nodded at him and smiled. "Yes, I'm sure the wine I bring is not enough. So I have to ask Mr. Fu to borrow some wine."

Hearing this, Jack seemed to be in a good mood with a slight smile on his lips. He also raised his glass and clinked it with the plate in front of him, making a crisp sound. Then he raised his head and drank it up in one gulp. "Don't worry, wine is enough!"

The middle-aged man immediately laughed brightly. From the man beside Jack, he began to propose toasts one after another. Soon it was the turn of Rachel.

He bent down slightly. Because he had drunk too much just now, his body trembled. He asked, "This lady looks a little strange. I don't know how to call you."

"Miss Shen." Rachel picked up the tea cup in front of her and gently clinked it with him. "I'm pregnant, so I can't drink. Drink tea instead of wine."

"It's okay. As long as you are happy." The middle-aged man waved his hand and said with a smile, "I wonder which man is so lucky to marry Miss Shen?"

When she heard this, Rachel subconsciously looked at Jack. He looked askance at her. Although there was a faint smile on his lips as usual, the blue veins on his temples suddenly jumped.

There was a trace of indifference in her expression. Rachel looked away, pursed her lips and smiled, "I'm divorced."

"What a pity!" The middle-aged man sighed. Maybe he had drunk too much, he took out a business card from his pocket and put it in front of Rachel. He tapped two times on it with his index finger and said, "I'm divorced too. Miss Shen, would you like to think about me?"

If it was in the past, Rachel would definitely ignore it.

But when she thought of the gentle expression on Jack's face when he appeared with Scarlett just now, she was somehow angry. She put away the business card directly, and then smiled at the middle-aged man. "If have a chance in the future, we can come out together and have a talk."

The smile on Jack's face suddenly froze, and his face suddenly darkened. He didn't know how hard he had used, but the goblet in his hand was broken by him, and the wine in the goblet immediately sprinkled all over the table, dripping down.

Scarlett exclaimed and reached out to hold Jack's hand. "How is it going? Did you cut your hand?"

"Nothing." Jack withdrew his hand coldly. He saw that his face was cold, and his eyes were like awls staring at Rachel. Seeing that she seemed not to notice him at all and was still talking with Mr. Wang, he slammed the table and stood up.

Among these people, Austin knew the most about the relationship between Jack and Rachel. Although he was confused about Jack's behavior of bringing Scarlett here, he vaguely guessed something.

At this moment, seeing Jack's murderous eyes, Austin stood up and walked to Mr. Wang. He pulled Mr. Wang's arm and said, "Mr. Wang, you've been here for a long time. Your friends must be waiting for you."

Mr. Wang didn't realize it at all. He waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. I've told them before I came. Besides, I haven't finished my toast yet."

While they were talking, Mr. Wang had already sat down on the empty chair next to Rachel, as if he wouldn't leave until they had a good chat.

At this moment, Jack didn't look good and Scarlett had already been a little unhappy. She forced herself to calm down, picked up the bottle on the side and filled her glass in front of her. She smiled at Mr. Wang and said, "Mr. Wang, since you have proposed a toast to Jack, I'll drink this as a response to you. Please don't refuse my kindness, Mr. Wang."

Her words not only shifted the attention of all to her, but also directly showed the intimate relationship between her and Jack.

Mr. Wang also looked away from Rachel and nodded with a smile, "Mrs. Fu, you're so kind."

A complacent smile appeared on Scarlett's face.

Seeing that Jack had no intention of refuting Mr. Wang's "Mrs. Fu", Rachel felt her heart ached, but she still pretended to be strong and looked at all this without changing her face.

Scarlett sat down with a smile. Seeing that Jack's glass was empty, she refilled it thoughtfully.

Mr. Wang, on the other hand, had almost finished his drink. Now that he had drunk a full glass of wine, he felt a little relaxed. Seeing that Rachel was putting her fair-skinned hand on the table, he wanted to touch it directly.
