Julie lowered her head and looked at her hands. She had thought about it for the whole night last night. It was really about her salary, so she still said, "In the past, my salary was given to me by Mr. Jack. Now that you two have been like this, my salary for this month..."
Before she could finish her words, Rachel interrupted her. She had ignored this question.
After all, Julie took care of her here for salary.
She raised her head, looked at Julie and said softly, "If Jack won't give it to you, I will pay you. Don't worry."
Hearing this answer, Julie breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she was a little worried. "In fact, Miss Rachel, you and Mr. Jack..."
Rachel stood up and said, "There's nothing to talk about between him and me."
Her attitude was a little determined. After all, early this morning, the paparazzi had taken a photo of Jack and Scarlett coming out of a community. Their attitude was intimate, and it seemed that they had lived together and maybe soon would get married.
Although she didn't check their news on the Internet, Rachel still knew it clearly even though she didn't want to read it.
That's right. They will get married soon. After she divorces Jack, they can get married immediately.
And the days before she could divorce were shorter and shorter, wasn't it?
Julie picked up the fruit tray and the empty glass on the table and said in a low voice, "Miss, I'll go to clean the kitchen."
Nodding her head, Rachel slowly went back to her room and took out a small bag from the drawer. Inside the bag, there were all her prenatal checkups records. Every time she went to the hospital for prenatal checkups, those expectant mothers were accompanied by their husbands. A couple talked about the changes of their children and what names they should give their children in the future, but she always had only Julie by her side. Jack had never been to the hospital with her once.
The two of them hadn't even discussed about the child's name once.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Rachel touched her belly and said in a low voice, "Baby, you follow mom's surname, okay? If you are a girl, I will give you a princess's name, and if you are a boy, I will give you a quite cook name, okay?"
At this time, she could only talk to her child.
Every time she told herself to be strong and not to cry easily, but now at this time, tears were still flowing out of her eyes uncontrollably. Not long after she wiped them, tears fell again. Rachel simply gave up and let them wreak havoc on her cheeks. She told herself that only this time, it would be okay if she cried, and she would never cry again in the future.
When she was free, looking at the phone in her hand, Rachel finally remembered what she had promised Jimmy. She dialed Jared's number and asked directly, "Jared, are you free recently? My friend wants to thank you for inviting you to dinner."
"That's too much."
"Just give him a chance, or he will probably take it to heart."
Jared chuckled, "Well, how about today? I'm going out on a business trip tomorrow and will come back in a week."
Then she told Jimmy. It seemed that Rachel had become a contactor between Jared and Jimmy.
Jimmy invited her to go with him. At first, Rachel refused, but he said that he didn't know Jared and they hadn't met each other. It would be awkward at that time. She made a joke on him that it's not a blind date, but on second thought, it was indeed not appropriate, so she agreed.
After work, Jimmy appeared at the gate of the hospital on time, picked her up and set off for the hotel.
As soon as they arrived at the private room and ordered the dishes, Jared pushed the door open and came in. After exchanging greetings, they sat down respectively. "Mr. Jimmy, in fact, you don't have to be so polite."
The door of the box was not closed again when he came in.
When Jack passed by, he heard someone talking. He had always been sensitive to the voice of Rachel. Now he stopped and saw her sitting next to Jimmy. Hearing what he said, she lowered her head and smiled happily.
He didn't expect to meet her at this time, but she was still with Jimmy. Did it mean that the relationship between the two had advanced by leaps and bounds?
Jack felt as if his heart was swallowed by something all of a sudden, and he felt very uncomfortable.
Following him, Austin didn't notice the box. He just stood behind him and asked, "Boss, what's wrong?"
He looked away and tried to make himself look as if nothing had happened. He said lightly, "Nothing. Let's go."
Tonight was a regular dinner of the chamber of Commerce once a month. Normally, Jack would leave after sitting down for a while and showing up. This night, he asked the waiter to open a bottle of red wine, one glass after another, without moving his chopsticks.
