Chapter 439 The New CEO

In her heart, Rachel knew that Jack was not a fool, nor was he a person who let other people do whatever they wanted no matter how wrong. Why did other people's impression of him change completely, then?

Rachel felt uneasy thinking about this matter.

After several long moments of second-guessing herself, she dialed Jack's number. Unexpectedly, the call was answered soon after the first ring by a gentle, feminine voice.

Scarlett glanced at the closed bathroom door, through which the sound of water could be heard. On the other side of that door, Jack was taking a shower.

Jack usually brought his mobile phone with him when he took a shower. Today, however, he left the phone on the bed. She heard the phone vibrate when she entered the room and was about to give him the phone when she saw Rachel's name on the screen. Her mind suddenly formulated some mischief.

Jack's phone in hand, she stepped out of the room and said in a shy voice, "Jack's in the bathroom taking a shower. Do you want to leave a message for him? I can pass it on once he's done."

At the sound of that sweet voice, Rachel couldn't say a word. She hung up the phone. With a bitter smile on her face, she berated herself for having free time to worry about someone else's business.

Scarlett heard the beep signaling the end of a call and smiled smugly. It was about time for Jack to be done with his shower, so she deleted the call log from the phone and placed it back to its original position

ore never to interfere in other peoples' lives. Why was she going against that principle now?

'Is it true that she and Jimmy...?'

At this thought, Jack slapped his palm against his chair's arm, startling the people who were chatting with each other. They all turned around and looked at him with varying degrees of puzzlement.

Jack took a deep breath and stood up. "Some matters require my attention. I'll leave first."

The driver, who had been waiting in the car for the party to finish, saw that Jack came back after a short time. "Mr. Fu, where are we headed to next?" he asked.

"The electric appliance store at No. 883, East Ring Road!"

Rachel saved several files and was about to turn off the computer when her phone suddenly vibrated. She saw an unidentified number onscreen, so she hesitated for a few rings before answering the call.

"Hello, am I speaking with Gary Yang's family?"

"No,"

Rachel answered truthfully. "What's going on?"

The person on the other end of the line said, "I'm sorry, I must have called the wrong number."

Afraid that the woman was going to cut the call, Rachel said to gain back her attention, "You didn't call me wrong. I may not be Gary's relative, but I'm his friend. Who am I speaking with?"

"This is Gary's head teacher. I called because he got into a fight with another child earlier. I tried contacting his father, but no one picked up. Gary gave me this number and told me to ask you to come to the school."
