Scarlett was afraid that her lies would be exposed, so she decided to find an excuse to escape halfway. But to her surprise, Jack's gentle voice rang in her ear. Stroking her hair gently, he asked, "Are you having a party with your friends?"
"Why are you here?" Scarlett was stunned, her mouth agape.
Jack looked at her with a faint smile. "I happened to pass by here. Is the party over? Come with me."
With a gentle smile, she nodded and followed him out obediently. Her eyes were full of expectation when she looked at him. "Jack, where are we going?"
He curled his lips as his eyes emitted a murderous aura. "Scarlett, what is Article 6 in our agreement?"
"I..." Scarlett stammered.
She was too scared to look at him as she could feel the killing intent in his eyes. She couldn't help trembling.
Indeed, she and Jack signed an agreement that they would pretend as a couple. However, it was stated in the agreement that they would only pretend in places that he chose. Other than those, they had nothing to do with each other. Article 6 in the agreement clearly stated that Scarlett was not allowed to say anything about their relationship in front of others.
Jack wanted to use this fake relationship to make Rachel jealous. He hoped that when she got jealous, she would finally realize her feelings for him. He wouldn't give Scarlett any chance to swagger around outside using this fake relationship.
He said coldly, "You seem to forget so soon. What did I tell you when
night.
He leaned forward and said carefully, "Okay. If you don't want to eat, then let's not eat."
"Why not? You already bought the food." Celia seemed to be making trouble out of nothing.
Marcus frowned and asked tentatively, "Then shall we eat?"
"Take them to your own home. I don't want you to stay here any longer. I'm so annoyed to see your face." Celia crossed her arms over her chest and turned her back on him.
Marcus was dumbfounded. As the saying went, "Birds of the same feather, flock together." He was afraid that it wouldn't be long before he becomes the second Jack.
Feeling confused and aggrieved, he went to the living room and waited until her anger dissipated.
He had no idea that Celia was upset because of what Jack did. And since he was Jack's best friend, Celia was annoyed with him as well.
Rachel had been everyone's topic in the hospital the whole day. However, she seemed not to mind it as she busied herself with her work. When it was time to go home, she turned off her computer and left.
She was standing at the hospital gate, waiting for a taxi when a black car stopped in front of her. The window slowly rolled down, then Jack said in a deep voice, "Get in the car."
Pretending not to hear him, she walked around the corner indifferently and stood at the back of the car. A taxi happened to be coming towards her, so she hailed it immediately. When Jack got out of his car, the taxi had already driven away. It was too late to stop it.
