Rachel looked at Celia and smile. It couldn't be told what was on her mind. She said slowly, "Is that so? I can't fight with that woman, nor can I get even with Jack. I can't be angry because I'm afraid that it will affect my baby, so that's the reason why I said that this matter has nothing to do with me."
She smiled and said, "It's late, Celia. You should go back to the duty now."
In a daze, Celia nodded and walked out of the office. She closed the door and slowly retracted her hand from the doorknob. Tilting her head, Celia still couldn't figure it out.
She came here this morning to see Rachel's reaction, and also wanted to hide it from her. According to her character, Celia must have found Jack to make it clear. But now she was persuaded to come out of the office without saying a word?
In the office, the smile at the corners of Rachel's mouth disappeared. She reached out to take the newspaper back and spread it in front of her.
The bite mark on her lips was still very obvious. She reached out her hand to touch it which had scabs.
Rachel sneered. Last night, she held her in her arms and questioned herself why she couldn't forgive him. But soon he went to have fun with another woman, which was also reported in the newspaper.
How could she forgive such a person and such a behavior?
Rachel felt it was ridiculous that she was even worried about Jack last night and called Michael to ask him to take care of Jack.
Now she realized that something Julie put into the cabinet must be the newspaper today.
Rachel raised her hand and rubbed her face. Although she kept telling herself not to care and think too much, she still couldn't help but feel a little bitter and heartache.
Scarlett packed up in the whole morning and finally put all the things she needed into the suitcase. By the way, she carefully folded the note with an address and put it into her bag. When she was about to go out, the doorbell rang.
She opened the door in a hurry, only to see a figure rushing over, holding her neck and hanging directly on her body, screaming, "Cousin, it's been long time not to see you."
It was Scarlett's younger cousin, Kailey Chen, who had been working as a receptionist in a hotel in another city before. Because of the expense spent on home-visiting and low salary, few vacations, she would only come back for a few days at the end of the year.
Scarlett pressed her shoulder and asked, "Are you fired again?"
Kailey Chen took a step back and scratched her hair. "No, I quit."
When she was a student, she didn't get good grades, so after graduation from a vocational high school, she went to another city with others. But she hadn't had a stable job and often changed a job every two months.
When her family saw that she had been working in the hotel for nearly two years, they thought that she had finally been stable. But she didn't expect that Kailey Chen would come back temporarily today.
Seeing that Scarlett frowning, Kailey Chen immediately pulled her arm and said fawningly, "Sister, our relationship has always been the best. My parents don't know that I'm back. Please help me hide it from them. If they know that I lost my job again, they must give me another lesson!"
Scarlett's mouth twitched. When she was about to teach her a lesson, her phone rang. The appointed taxi driver said that he had arrived downstairs, so she had to give up and poked her forehead. "I'll teach you a lesson when I'm available."
Kailey Chen chuckled and saw the suitcase in Scarlett's hand. She asked, "Cousin, are you going out?"
Speaking of this, the corners of Scarlett's mouth immediately rose, and her eyebrows were dancing. "I found a boyfriend. He just gave me a house and let me move in."
"How about I go with you?"
Unable to resist her request, and Scarlett wanted to show off in front of her cousin, they went to the community together and found the house. When she opened the door with the key, she heard Kailey Chen's exclamation.
She kept asking, "Cousin, what kind of boyfriend do you find? How could he give you such a good house?"
"This house is even better than the presidential suite in my hotel."
Hearing her constant questions, Scarlett's vanity was satisfied at once. She smiled proudly and said, "I will introduce him to you some day."
"Forget it. It's just a shame for you to introduce others your cousin like me."
Kailey Chen knew what kind of person Scarlett was very well. Kailey Chen walked up to her, held her arm and said with a flattering smile, "When you are rich, don't forget that I'm your cousin. You know that I have no job, no boyfriend, and no money."
Scarlett had been living an envious life for a long time. Now that she was flattered by her cousin, she was even more proud.
Seeing her expression, Kailey Chen immediately knew that what she had said was right. She lowered her head and saw Scarlett's folded clothes in the suitcase. She thought for a while and immediately said, "Cousin, I didn't bring any clothes with me this time. I'm in the same shape as you. Can you give me some clothes?"
After saying that, seeing that Scarlett was a little hesitant, Kailey Chen immediately added, "Cousin, you have such a rich boyfriend anyway. Since he is willing to give you a good house, then he will definitely buy you a lot of beautiful clothes. How about..."
