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.
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.
