Chapter 174
Jack thought that if he wasn''t as deeply in love as Francis, he wouldn''t go through all the hurdles
that he had gone through. Besides, his rtionship with Rachel wasn''t thatplicated.
However, he wouldn''t know that for sure. The only thing he could be thankful for was that he still
had his woman.
"I''m d that you''re still here with me,"
he said sincerely.
The feeling he had now was different from his feelings for Celine. The woman by his side made him
feel a sense of belonging that he hadn''t felt for a long time.
Rachel blushed at his words. It was rare for Jack to be so sentimental towards her.
All she knew was that if Jack would love her and treat her well from now on, she would repay it with
her love and care.

However, she had forgotten the mere fact that love could never be exined or even demonstrated
by means of repaying.
Jack brought Rachel to thepany every day.
Many employees tried to find out who the woman he had brought with him.
Questions soared throughout the office ce. With Jack''s permission, the managerster revealed
that the woman he was with was Mrs. Fu. It was as if a bomb had been blown off in MK Group''s
headquarters. It had caused a catastrophic uproar.
Mrs. Fu? The mere thought was unbearable!
Jack Fu was once known as the famous golden bachelor in Ninwell City. Fie had appeared in many
magazines, reiterating how he was the most powerful man who walked their streets. And now, it
seemed that he was actually married.
Not long after the deration, a heated discussion spread across media outlets in waves.
As the only son of Jonathan and the current CEO of MK Group, Jack had always kept his
rtionship status under wraps.
Although the Fu family hadn''t dered any official statement, everyone from different media outlets
did their best in digging out information of the woman he was with.
Some of them dug out that Jack had actually been staying close with the same mysterious woman.
In fact, they even lived together! In a few days, they could see her with Jack everywhere.
Although they didn''t dare near the couple, they could tell that the woman was incredibly gorgeous.
Since the news had gotten out, the legendary Mrs. Fu was thepany''s hot topic.
Nearly everybody in the financial circle had found out through these gossip magazines,
but there were a few people who knew of Jack''s marital status. In fact, some of them had
seen the couple attend together in numerous asions.
And Rachel had attended those asions in the name of Jack''s wife before.
It indicated that their marriage was not a secret, but it was definitely closed off from the majority''s
public eye.
In addition, they had done a good job in keeping a low profile.
They hadn''t had a grand wedding, so that it hadn''t spread out to the media circles.
Judging from the privacy the Fu family had, it was obvious that they didn''t want the news to spread
out.
Besides, if Fu family wanted to find out who had released the news, it would be easy for them to do
so.
And nobody wanted to offend the Fu family.
Of course, Jack didn''t mind.
Since Rachel had been exposed, the people who had known her could onlyugh at the surprised
crowd in disdain.
Although the news fired up all over social media, Rachel had no idea of the intensity of the news
due to the fact that she had always stayed beside Jack.
As for Eric, he had been working day and night. Fie had no idea about the gossip that had been
circting.
Jack didn''t say anything about what had
happened the past few days not because he didn''t want to say it or was ashamed of it, but because
he thought that it wasn''t the right time yet.
"I''ll be meeting up with Lea today," Rachel told Jack.
"She''s in a hurry to meet with me because she needs to go back to her crew to continue her work
tomorrow."
Jack blinked. "Oh, how are Lea and Henry doing?"
He heard that the couple had been having conflicts these days.
In fact, a part of him wondered if they''d already broken up.
She shrugged in reply. "I have no idea." She rubbed her forehead, changing the subject. "We have
only hung about a few times. I wonder when she''ll take a long leave next time."
Ever since their rtionship had been disclosed to the public, Jack had been more and more
brazen when it came to his actions.
He stroked Rachel''s hair as he was talking to her. "Don''t worry. I''m sure there will be more time for
you guys to meet up in the future."
Rachel shook her head. "It''s not easy for us to meet up anymore due to conflicts with our schedule.
I don''t even know what''s going on with her life anymore."
They used to know everything in each other''s life, but now it seemed that their schedules have
prevented that from happening.
Rachel got more visibly upset. Of course, Jack didn''t understand the big deal of the situation.
Men weren''t as clingy when it came to their rtionships. Even if they had been out of touch for
more than ten years, all it took was a meal for them to warm up to each other again.
Plus, they weren''t interested in each other''s private life. That was why he couldn''t understand what
she was stressing about.
"I''m sure we''ll have more chances to meet her again when shees back. If you want to see her
in another city, I can send you there," he offered.
Although he was considerate, Rachel still shrugged helplessly. ''He still doesn''t understand me,'' she
thought.
"I''ll go apany Lea, okay? I''ll be backter tomorrow."
Jack''s smile faltered.
He spun the pen in his fingertips.
Rachel and Lea were going to be together the entire day. She would even apany her
overnight.
Even if she was her best friend, she still couldn''t take her away from him for a night.
It was as if she was already abandoning him.
Rachel furrowed her eyebrows when he took her hand.
"What''s wrong?" ''Why is he sad all of a sudden?'' she thought.
He stopped his pen from spinning and smiled.
"Have fun, okay?"
he said softly. Staring into his faint smile, Rachel thought that he didn''t look angry.
Besides, there was no need for him to be furious with her.
With other ns in his mind, Jack raised his wrist to look at his watch. "When will you guys meet?"
They were supposed to have dinner in the evening, but Lea wanted to drag her shoppingter in the
afternoon.
"Later."
"I''m going out too. Have the driver send you there, okay?"
Both of them had their own ns, but Rachel still had absolutely no idea that her rtionship with
Jack had blown up all over the ce.
Lea was also too busy to pay attention to gossip.
Rachel was already thinking of how to break the news of her rtionship to Lea.
She had remembered the way she reacted when they prepared to start anew. But now they were
already together...
The mere thought gave her a headache.
Rachel wished she could just bury her head in the sand.
With a n in his mind, Jack smiled innocently. "Enjoy. Call me if you need anything."
His gentleness sent a chill down her spine as she narrowed her eyes. ''This can''t be real,'' she
thought.
Rachel was already in MK Group, and she was going to see Lea now. Jack asked the driver to send
her there.
She was about to walk into the private elevator when Jack pulled her over. "It''s being repaired," he
exined. "Go down the staff elevator from this point on."
Being Repaired? But it was fine this morning!
With no doubt in her mind, Rachel followed the other employees into the staff elevator.
From the 23rd floor to the first floor, they met a lot of people.
And a lot of them recognized Jack.
They greeted him with a nod. "Mr. Fu."
He nodded at them in return with one hand intentionally protecting her to avoid her from being
squeezed by the other peopleing in.
Rachel stood beside him.
There were a few people who nced at her with curiosity. The rumors of their boss having a wife
spread like wildfire across thepany.
It was rare that they get to see her up this close, so they couldn''t help but look at her.
The way she was being protected by Jack proved that they were no doubt together.
