At lunch time, Rachel thought that she finally played her role. She whispered in Jack's ear, reminding him of what he should eat and what he shouldn't.
Jack followed her instructions, avoiding spicy and oily food.
The others observed them quietly, lost in their own thoughts.
They left after lunch, and Jack went back to the 23rd floor with Rachel.
Jack closed the door of his office, and told the receptionist not to disturb him before 3 p.m.
He entered his private lounge.
After taking a shower, Jack changed his clothes. He put his arm around her waist, kissed her on the face, and said, "Take a shower and then relax."
Flushed, Rachel pushed him away and murmured, "I'm not tired."
He was about to lean against her again, but Rachel turned away and said, "I'm going to take a shower, too."
Although she wasn't sweating, she decided to follow Jack's advice and take a shower.
When she came out again, Jack was nowhere to be seen, but she heard a faint sound.
Rachel was a little confused. She turned to the right and opened a door. She had been there in the morning, but she didn't realize that there was another room.
She heard a loud clacking and saw a pool table in the room.
Rachel walked in and found it was a room full of fitness equipment.
The room was covered with a deep green carpet, and it was narrow and long.
Ther
o nervous.
At that moment, she couldn't say it aloud.
She felt her heart beating so fast that she couldn't look straight into his dark eyes.
The more she wanted to hide, the more exposed she felt.
It was hard for Jack to keep his patience.
'Enough of this. How long do I need to wait for her to speak up and give me an answer?
I'll just ask her directly.'
"Rachel, are you in love with me?"
She squeezed her clothes and summoned up the courage to look at him. 'Yes, I'm in love with you. But what about you?
Am I just a suitable wife in your eyes?' she wondered.
However, one couldn't see as clearly from the inside as those standing outside. Rachel was blind to the significance of what Jack had said to her.
He wanted more than just to have her by his side. He also wanted to have her heart.
Without understanding it, Rachel was nervous and confused. She asked, "Jack, what about you? Have you fallen in love with me?"
Jack raised his eyebrows in surprise. Rachel thought he was surprised merely because he didn't expect her to ask him the same question.
Abruptly, he took a step backward, looking surprised and doubtful. Then he raised his hand and pressed his forefinger against his forehead.
At that moment, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
His sudden movements and expressions really stunned and perplexed Rachel.
