Stuck in you novel Chapter 412

"Victor, can you give me some time to digest this matter?"

Pursing her lips, Rachel lowered her head and kept silent.

Victor also saw through her mood at the moment, knowing that if he said too much, it would have some adverse effect. He patted on Rachel's shoulder and said, "Well, I'm going back first. I have a meeting later. If you have anything to do at work, you can call me directly, okay?"

After sending Victor away, the office became quiet again, but Rachel felt a little depressed. What he said was right. Her life was not miserable because of the loss of her parents. In terms of family affection, Jonathan, Victor and deceased grandfather in Fu family had been invisibly replacing her father's identity, giving her care, guidance and education.

Rachel was very grateful to them, especially to Jonathan.

However, it happened too suddenly. No matter how rational she was, she couldn't help but be impulsive on this matter.

Holding her chin with her hands, Rachel thought for a while, and then the phone on the desk interrupted her thoughts.

A clear female voice came through the phone, "Executive department? Has our surgery schedule come out this month?"

"Wait a minute. Let me have a look." It was the first time for Rachel to deal with administrative work. She hurriedly turned on the computer and found the surgery duty list. It was only last month and this month's work hadn't been done yet. She quickly explained, "Not yet. I'll send it to you in the afternoon."

"Okay, please hurry up. We have to make arrangement."

After hanging up the phone, Rachel asked other colleagues in the same department for their opinions and began her work. Unconsciously, it was already noon.

"Rachel, shall we go to the canteen together?" A colleague reminded Rachel. She looked at the half done watch and was about to shake her head to refuse. Thinking of the baby in her belly, she smiled and said, "Okay, wait a minute. Let me save the file."

On the way to the canteen, the two of them chatted for a while, and then they began to gossip. "Rachel, I heard that you resigned because you were going to be a housewife. Why do you come back to work now?"

Hearing this reason, Rachel was stunned. Although she didn't know who made it up for her, it was a good thing for her.

She smiled, "I can't stay at home any longer. It's more interesting to go to work."

"That's right. It's impossible for a business woman like us to stay at home safely. I always feel that it's a waste of time." The colleague patted her chest exaggeratedly.

With a faint smile on her face, Rachel didn't respond. When she was about to push the glass door of the canteen open, a deep voice came from behind, "Rachel?"

Her back froze.

The colleague thought that she didn't hear the voice behind her, so she gently pushed her shoulder and said, "Rachel, someone is looking for you. Is it your father?"

Nodding her head, Rachel turned around and looked at Jonathan who was standing not far away with a crutch. She smiled and said gently, "Jonathan, why are coming here?"

It turned out that it was not as difficult as she thought to face to him.

Jonathan nodded. His turbid eyes sparkled. He walked two steps forward on his crutch and said, "I heard from Victor that you're back to work, so I dropped by to have a look."

"Yes, I just came here today."

Rachel then smiled apologetically at her colleague and explained, "I'm afraid I can't go in with you. I'm sorry."

The colleague raised her chin and said generously, "It doesn't matter. You can talk with your father. I'll go in first."

The entrance of the canteen was not a good place to talk, and the former colleagues would inevitably glance sideways at it. Rachel took Jonathan to the cafe on the third floor of the canteen. As soon as they sat down, they didn't open their mouth, but saw him staring at his slightly swollen belly. She smiled and said, "I'm pregnant. It's almost four months."

"Great! That's great!"

Jonathan didn't move at all. His eyes were wide open, and his eyes were red. Perhaps he was too embarrassed to cry in front of Rachel, he turned around and raised the corner of his eyes. After calming down a little, he asked, "Has Jack known about it?"

"He knows," replied Rachel in a low voice

"Then he..." Jonathan stopped after saying two words. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it. I won't say it again."

Then he choked with sobs and said, "Rachel, I'm sorry. I..."
