Stuck in you novel Chapter 101

Jack nodded. "Okay, I'll take care of her."

The old doctor tied the bandage after wrapping it around Rachel's ankle. He stood up and smiled at them. "I'm happy that you brought your boyfriend here, Rachel."

'Boyfriend?'

Rachel's face began heating up. Shyly, she smiled and nodded her head awkwardly. She wondered what Jack was feeling. Casting a glance at him, she found that he acted as calm as ever.

After the doctor had finished giving them instructions, Rachel and Jack thanked him. As the pair walked out, Jack bent down to carry her in his arms.

Rachel blushed and hid her face in his arms. "Jack, could you please stop hugging me like that? I feel embarrassed."

He raised his eyebrows expressionlessly. "But the doctor told me to take care of you. This is my way of making sure that you're okay."

"He meant that I shouldn't exhaust my feet. He didn't mean that you should coddle me like a child!"

Jack retorted defensively, "Hey, I just want to help you! Don't get mad at me!"

She opened her mouth to refute, but failed to come up with a good come-back. Jack smirked as her face slowly reddened.

Without further protesting, she allowed Jack to continue carrying her out of the doctor's office. While they were bickering, they encountered a familiar person.

Upon seeing Lucas, she struggled to get down. However, Jack didn't let her go. "Stop, you're going to hurt yourself," he scolded.

She began to calm down and awkwardly raised her head to look at the man in front of them. "Hi, Lucas."

Lucas looked at their intimate position. Pretending not to notice it, he nodded towards their direction. "What are you guys doing here?"

Jack blankly stared at him and replied, "She needed to be treated in the hospital."

Lucas' eyes fell on Rachel's injured ankle, an unnatural expression on his handsome face.

He wanted to say something to comfort her, but didn't know what to say. "I'm so sorry. About yesterday..."

"It's okay. You don't have to keep apologizing to me," Rachel said with a smile.

A smile curled at the corners of Lucas' mouth. He gently touched his nose. Everyone fell silent, awkwardly standing in the hallway.

Just as Rachel was about to break free from his arms, Jack tightly pressed her body up against his.

Before she could say something, Jack said, "We are leaving now."

Before neither Lucas nor Rachel could speak, Jack walked off with her in his arms.

They attracted numerous attention along the way. Rachel was so embarrassed that she gritted her teeth and buried her head into his arms.

She pushed Jack away immediately after getting into the car, still red from what had just happened. "Jack!"

Before she could finish, Jack raised his hand and placed his finger on her lips, stopping her from speaking.

"Shh, be quiet." He didn't think there was anything wrong with his behavior. "There's nothing to be angry about. Are you feeling shy be hugged by me in front of him?"

Dumbfounded, Rachel closed her mouth and sat patiently. Jack pushed her back in her seat and smirked. "Sit up. We're going back home."

After he got into the driver's seat, Rachel asked, "Are we going to go back so soon?"

"Why? Do you want to go somewhere else? You need to rest."

Rachel shook her head and said, "No, I don't want to go anywhere else."

He smiled, his eyes brightly twinkling.

The employees in the MK Group were gossiping about the mysterious woman in the president's office.

When everyone was guessing if the president had a new girlfriend, someone told them that woman was actually the president's wife.

The newly found information began to spread like wildfire.

People began to ask questions about who she was. This was the first time that they were hearing about her and they wanted to know more.

However, they couldn't enter the office to see her.

While a lady was checking the message, someone accidentally tapped at her table. She looked up, frightened, and tried to hide her phone.

She stood up and stammered, "Austin."

Seeing that she was frightened, Austin looked at her phone quietly and laughed. "What were you doing?"

"Uhm... Nothing..."

Austin smiled leisurely. "Well, focus on your work and don't be too distracted."

The girl nodded and sat down to work immediately.

When Austin entered the president's office, it was very quiet. Jack was sitting at his table, with Rachel on the sofa. She was playing on her phone.

Austin walked towards Jack and whispered something in his ear. Rachel kept quiet until he left.

It reminded him that every time Celine came here, there was always a lot of noise in the office.
