Marcus' words failed to goad Jack in surrendering. Rubbing the space in between his eyebrows, Jack sighed. "I've been exhausted lately."
Michael snorted. "And why is that?"
Eric was the only one who knew exactly why Jack was so tired.
"He has been taking care of Rachel," he stated proudly.
Eric patted Jack's shoulder. He didn't notice the smile that carved into his lips.
Rachel was half asleep when the bed sank. The smell of alcohol wafted across her, and she couldn't help but wrinkle her nose.
"Did you drink?" she murmured.
Jack's eyes widened. "Is the smell that strong?"
He made sure that he took a shower before coming to bed in fear that the smell might cause her to vomit.
Rachel slowly opened her eyes, yawning. "I have a good nose."
She tapped her nose to emphasize her point. "It's not that strong though. Did they leave?"
Jack pulled her into a kiss. "No, they're still in the living room."
"Why did you leave them?"
"Eric is with them right now."
"Eric?"
"Yes. There's no need to worry about them. Let's sleep now."
Michael and Marcus had initially planned to drink with Jack. However, Jack decided to run away and let Eric serve as his scapegoat.

Someone else laughed. "Frank, he was angry that we've prepared fireworks for him.
He wanted a hot woman."
Frank snorted. "Sorry, dude. Next time I will."
Johnny blushed in shame. He threw an empty bottle at the man.
"Fuck you asshole!"
he scolded.
Rachel couldn't help but shake her head as the other girls in the yacht hissed in disgust.
Standing next to her, Jack pulled a long face. He couldn't believe that these bastards were talking nonsense in front of his wife.
After the fireworks, the waiter came over to set up the table.
The planned to roast some seafood tonight. In addition to the materials they had taken out, they had also fished a few things during the afternoon.
The barbecue was big enough for all the things that they'd caught.
Rachel was thinking how it was possible to make barbecue on the ship. She didn't expect that they would bring out an electric griller.
The men rolled up their sleeves and went to work. The scraped the scales and removed the internal organs from the fish's bodies.
They also brought some meat with them.
The girls looked at the knife and the meat, not knowing how to slice it.
They stood aside, unsure on how to help the men.
