Chapter 446 Where Are You Now

Seeing that Scarlett had returned to normal, Kailey breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking about the reason why she came here today, she said, "You know, Scarlett, our bar has been open for a week and is doing quite well. We have already started thinking about opening a branch. Would you like to invest more money?"

"I don't have any money," Scarlett said in a cold voice.

This struck Kailey as comical. As if she had heard a funny joke, she began to laugh. Composing herself, she said, "Come on now, how come you don't have any money? If you ever run out of money, you can always ask Jack for it. You have to seize this opportunity and make more money. This is the only way for us to become rich. And besides, even if you marry a rich man, you should have a career of your own. Be smart, Scarlett. Secure your future!"

These words were like needles that successfully stabbed Scarlett's heart. But she wouldn't show her vulnerable side to her cousin. Biting her lower lip, she said, "I don't need a secure future. I just want back the money I have invested in your bar. I will take that and leave."

Seeing the startled look on Kailey's face, she continued, "Didn't you say that you're making a profit already? You could start paying me back with that money. If not the full amount, at least give me half of it now."

As soon as Kailey realized that Scarlett was serious about not giving her more, she rose to her feet. With her hands on her head, she cried and begged, "But I need that amount for other things. For example, I have to pay the workers. It isn't possible for me to give it to you now."

"Kailey, you must have money with you. Give me some money first," S

ed to tell Julie to keep our conversations a secret, ' Rachel thought with some annoyance.

Jack wouldn't keep the phone. He asked, "Where are you now?"

Rachel lied, "I'm having a meeting outside."

But as soon as Rachel said that, Jack's smiling face appeared before her. Out of shock, she nearly dropped the phone. "So is this where you are having the meeting?" he asked.

Behind him, she caught sight of Marcus. Rachel understood what was going on. Instead of panicking, she calmed down and said, "I'm going to have a meeting in about ten minutes."

"But I just called your director and asked for leave for you." Jack shook his phone in his hand.

"You!" Rachel opened her eyes wide. "Stop bothering me!"

"I am sorry, but I just can't do that." Jack shrugged his shoulders and looked straight into her eyes. Seeing Celia and Marcus walking towards them, he quickly put his hand on her waist. Flashing them a smile, he whispered into Rachel's ear, "If you don't want your friends to worry about you, then you should look happy, understand?"

'Shit! How dare he threaten me!' But Rachel stopped struggling.

Deep down she knew he had a point. If Celia noticed something, she would instantly pass the information to Lea. Since Lea was pregnant, it wasn't right for her to be stressed. If something happened to the baby in her belly, Rachel wouldn't be able to forgive herself.

Holding Marcus' arm, Celia walked over. She had a big smile plastered on her face. Her earlier look of worry was replaced with confidence. When she was with Marcus, all her worries disappeared. "Rachel, Marcus and I are leaving, we still have something to do."

"Okay, see you."
