Stuck in you novel Chapter 83

Rachel gently moved the chair to stand up. She headed towards the bathroom in the lounge.

Jack suddenly heard a cry from the bathroom. In surprise, he looked up from the magazine and placed it aside. "Rachel?"

There was no reply. Worried, he stood up walking to the bathroom. "Rachel? Are you okay?"

She answered in a muffled voice, "I’m fine."

Half of her body had gotten wet in the bathroom. Panicking, Rachel rushed to look for the water valve.

The faucet had suddenly broken down, spilling water on her clothes. She was unable to find the valve, and the water continued to spew from the broken faucet.

Rachel had no choice, but to turn to Jack for help.

"Jack, please come in."

Waltzing in, he saw the mess that she had made. Jack was surprised. "What's going on?" he asked.

"The faucet wouldn't turn off. I think it's broken. Can you do me a favor and fix it?" she asked.

Jack tried to observe the surroundings. "Alright. Let me see."

Water continued to pour out on the floor. With a frown, he lifted his feet and stepped on the wet floor.

Rachel followed. "I can't find the valve."

Jack squatted down and found the pipe behind the sink. It penetrated into the wall, which meant only one thing.

"It's outside," he said and turned around. "I'll ask for help to find where the main valve is."

His sight fell on Rachel's wet body. His throat tightened and he felt his face getting hot. "Tell me who I should ask. I'll be the one to go."

Rachel stepped away from the flowing water. "I am not pretty sure. I think you should go to the management office." Her face suddenly contorted. "Ahhh!"

She seemed to step on something, and she slipped and fell forward. She was frightened and screamed out loud, which also scared Jack.

Fortunately, he was quick to respond, and grabbed her arm, pulling her to his chest. He groaned as her head collided with his broad muscles.

Still suffering from the shock, she held on tightly to Jack's arm. She slowly looked up to meet his pale face. "I am so sorry, are you okay?"

She had bumped into him with great force. Now that her head was pressed against him, she could hear his groaning clearly.

She slowly got up and Jack let go of his arm around her. "I'm fine."

She stood so close to him, he could smell the perfume from her body, an alluring yet strange fragrance that pierced his nostrils.

He took a step back, attempting to erase any odd reactions. He scratched his head nervously. "Who do you think can help us?"

Rachel looked down at the mess and groaned helplessly. "Go and find the management office. When you walk out of the lounge, turn right, and go to the end of the corridor. I'll go with you."

She didn't understand why the tap had suddenly exploded, it had been working fine the last few months. It was fortunate that she was able to dodge the water in time. At least, it was only half of her body that had gotten wet.

Jack's gaze slowly fell on the curvature of Rachel's breasts. Her upper body was drenched, her clothes hugging her body tightly. She wasn't decent enough to leave.

He pushed the woman out and lightly said, "Get yourself changed first. I'll call someone over."

She looked down at herself, embarrassed. After a brief hesitation, she nodded in agreement. "Okay."

After Jack went out, she realized that she had another dilemma—she didn't bring any spare clothes.

Rachel took off her doctor's gown and wore on a thin shirt inside.

However, her shirt became more transparent because of the water. Even though she found a towel to dry it off, it was still useless.

Even her trousers were a little stained. She looked into the mirror and saw that the color of her underwear could be seen.

Rachel patted her forehead and took a deep breath. She couldn't help but think whether she would need a towel when she got out.

The doorbell in the lounge suddenly rang. Jack had closed the door when he had left. He must have come back.

Jack asked Rachel through the door, "Have you changed?"

Rachel looked at herself awkwardly. "Just come in."

When Jack opened the door, he saw that Rachel had wrapped a towel around her. He slightly raised his eyebrows, and she explained, "I didn't prepare spare clothes."

Seeing her slender waist, Jack licked his lips and said, "Wait a moment. I have a jacket in my car."

The water suddenly stopped spewing in the bathroom. Someone must have turned the valve off. Jacked turned around to get his jacket.

While waiting for Jack, Rachel received a text from Lucas. "The driver has arrived, but I am not available now. Can I ask the driver to send Mendes to your office?"

Rachel replied quickly, "Yes, please. I am waiting."
