A trace of hesitation surfaced on Benny's face upon hearing the question.
Kailey took advantage of the situation that he was in a light trance. She withdrew her hands and held him tightly. Snuggling down in his arms, she then said in a sweet voice, "I think we should wait and see. If Mr. Fu does something illicit without your knowledge and lets you take the blame in the end..."
She deliberately kept the remaining words hanging to give Benny some time to think by himself.
It was more frightening than feeding him with some vicious words.
In the study, Rachel sat in an armchair while the men sat on the other chairs.
Before they could even start discussing, Michael yelled deliberately, "Jack, you really value your woman more than your friends. Look at how comfortable Rachel's seat is while you just let us sit on these cold chairs."
Jack admitted, "Yes. And you are not the only person who knows that."
"You should be ashamed of yourself," Michael said jokingly.
Jack smiled. "It seems that it's more preferable for you to stand there."
Michael sat down. "Why will I stand if there's a seat for me?"
Because of Michael, the tense atmosphere around them relaxed a lot. Even Rachel was able to smile. But looking at Jack, who was leaning against his desk, she couldn't help feeling worried.
A
smiled bitterly. "You are indeed abnormal."
Michael did not refute. He stood quietly for a while as if trying to recall what he wanted to say. "I remember it now. Jack, don't you have someone taking care of your yacht? Where is he now? Have you questioned him about this?"
"I thought you have come up with a big plan," Eric snorted. He waved his hand and said, "We have already thought of that. But that man has disappeared all of a sudden, and we can't find him."
Upon hearing Eric's words, all of them fell silent again.
At this time, Julie's voice was heard outside of the study. "Mr. Fu, I prepared some snacks for you all. Would you like to go downstairs and eat?"
"Sure," Jack answered. He then held Rachel's hand and helped her stand up. He looked around the study and said in a low voice, "Don't worry about it right now. Let's fill our stomachs first and talk about it later."
"Later? We don't have much time left. We should solve this matter now," Eric retorted. But when he looked at Jack, he seemed to be fine, holding Rachel's hand and walking towards the stairs.
He was left staring angrily at the couple's back.
Marcus stepped forward and patted his shoulder gently. "Jack is always like that. Even if he deals with the most serious matter, he never shows any expressions on his face."
