Stuck in you novel Chapter 173

Jack thought that if he wasn't as deeply in love as Francis, he wouldn't go through all the hurdles that he had gone through. Besides, his relationship with Rachel wasn't that complicated.

However, he wouldn't know that for sure. The only thing he could be thankful for was that he still had his woman.

"I'm glad that you're still here with me,"

he said sincerely.

The feeling he had now was different from his feelings for Celine. The woman by his side made him feel a sense of belonging that he hadn't felt for a long time.

Rachel blushed at his words. It was rare for Jack to become so sentimental towards her.

All she knew was that if Jack would love her and treat her well from now on, she would repay it with her love and care.

However, she had forgotten the mere fact that love could never be explained or even demonstrated by means of repaying.

Jack brought Rachel to the company every day.

Many employees tried to find out who the woman he had brought with him.

Questions soared throughout the office place. With Jack's permission, the managers later revealed that the woman he was with was Mrs. Fu.

It was as if a bomb had been blown off in MK Group's headquarters. It had caused a catastrophic uproar.

Mrs. Fu? The mere thought was unbearable!

Jack Fu was once known as the famous golden bachelor in Ninwell City. He had appeared in many magazines, reiterating how he was the most powerful man who walked their streets. And now, it seemed that he was actually married.

Not long after the declaration, a heated discussion spread across media outlets in waves.

As the only son of Jonathan and the current CEO of MK Group, Jack had always kept his relationship status under wraps.

Although the Fu family hadn't declared any official statement, everyone from different media outlets did their best in digging out information of the woman he was with.

Some of them dug out that Jack had actually been staying close with the same mysterious woman.

In fact, they even lived together! In a few days, they could see her with Jack everywhere.

Although they didn't dare near the couple, they could tell that the woman was incredibly gorgeous.

Since the news had gotten out, the legendary Mrs. Fu was the company's hot topic.

Nearly everybody in the financial circle had found out through these gossip magazines,

but there were a few people who knew of Jack's marital status. In fact, some of them had seen the couple attend together in numerous occasions.

And Rachel had attended those occasions in the name of Jack's wife before.

It indicated that their marriage was not a secret, but it was definitely closed off from the majority's public eye.

In addition, they had done a good job in keeping a low profile.

They hadn't had a grand wedding, so that it hadn't spread out to the media circles.

Judging from the privacy the Fu family had, it was obvious that they didn't want the news to spread out.

Besides, if Fu family wanted to find out who had released the news, it would be easy for them to do so.

And nobody wanted to offend the Fu family.

Of course, Jack didn't mind.

Since Rachel had been exposed, the people who had known her could only laugh at the surprised crowd in disdain.

Although the news fired up all over social media, Rachel had no idea of the intensity of the news due to the fact that she had always stayed beside Jack.

As for Eric, he had been working day and night. He had no idea about the gossip that had been circulating.

Jack didn't say anything about what had happened the past few days not because he didn't want to say it or was ashamed of it, but because he thought that it wasn't the right time yet.

"I'll be meeting up with Lea today," Rachel told Jack.

"She's in a hurry to meet with me because she needs to go back to her crew to continue her work tomorrow."

Jack blinked. "Oh, how are Lea and Henry doing?"

He heard that the couple had been having conflicts these days.

In fact, a part of him wondered if they'd already broken up.

She shrugged in reply. "I have no idea." She rubbed her forehead, changing the subject. "We have only hung about a few times. I wonder when she'll take a long leave next time."

Ever since their relationship had been disclosed to the public, Jack had been more and more brazen when it came to his actions.

He stroked Rachel's hair as he was talking to her. "Don't worry. I'm sure there will be more time for you guys to meet up in the future."

Rachel shook her head. "It's not easy for us to meet up anymore due to conflicts with our schedule. I don't even know what's going on with her life anymore."

They used to know everything in each other's life, but now it seemed that their schedules have prevented that from happening.

Rachel got more visibly upset. Of course, Jack didn't understand the big deal of the situation.

Men weren't as clingy when it came to their relationships. Even if they had been out of touch for more than ten years, all it took was a meal for them to warm up to each other again.

Plus, they weren't interested in each other's private life. That was why he couldn't understand what she was stressing about.

"I'm sure we'll have more chances to meet her again when she comes back. If you want to see her in another city, I can send you there," he offered.

Although he was considerate, Rachel still shrugged helplessly. 'He still doesn't understand me,' she thought.

"I'll go accompany Lea, okay? I'll be back later tomorrow."

Jack's smile faltered.

He spun the pen in his fingertips.

Rachel and Lea were going to be together the entire day. She would even accompany her overnight.

Even if she was her best friend, she still couldn't take her away from him for a night.

It was as if she was already abandoning him.

Rachel furrowed her eyebrows when he took her hand.

"What's wrong?" 'Why is he sad all of a sudden?' she thought.

He stopped his pen from spinning and smiled.

"Have fun, okay?"

he said softly. Staring into his faint smile, Rachel thought that he didn't look angry.

Besides, there was no need for him to be furious with her.

With other plans in his mind, Jack raised his wrist to look at his watch. "When will you guys meet?"

They were supposed to have dinner in the evening, but Lea wanted to drag her shopping later in the afternoon.

"Later."

"I'm going out too. Have the driver send you there, okay?"

Both of them had their own plans, but Rachel still had absolutely no idea that her relationship with Jack had blown up all over the place.

Lea was also too busy to pay attention to gossip.

Rachel was already thinking of how to break the news of her relationship to Lea.

She had remembered the way she reacted when they prepared to start anew. But now they were already together...

The mere thought gave her a headache.

Rachel wished she could just bury her head in the sand.

With a plan in his mind, Jack smiled innocently. "Enjoy. Call me if you need anything."

His gentleness sent a chill down her spine as she narrowed her eyes. 'This can't be real,' she thought.

Rachel was already in MK Group, and she was going to see Lea now. Jack asked the driver to send her there.

She was about to walk into the private elevator when Jack pulled her over. "It's being repaired," he explained. "Go down the staff elevator from this point on."

Being Repaired? But it was fine this morning!

With no doubt in her mind, Rachel followed the other employees into the staff elevator.

From the 23rd floor to the first floor, they met a lot of people.

And a lot of them recognized Jack.

They greeted him with a nod. "Mr. Fu."

He nodded at them in return with one hand intentionally protecting her to avoid her from being squeezed by the other people coming in.

Rachel stood beside him.

There were a few people who glanced at her with curiosity. The rumors of their boss having a wife spread like wildfire across the company.

It was rare that they get to see her up this close, so they couldn't help but look at her.

The way she was being protected by Jack proved that they were no doubt together.
