Chapter 101 Made A Mistake

Jack nodded. "Okay, I'll take care of her."

The old doctor tied the bandage after wrapping it around Rachel's ankle. He stood up and smiled at
them. "I'm happy that you brought your boyfriend here, Rachel."

'Boyfriend?'

Rachel's face began heating up. Shyly, she smiled and nodded her head awkwardly. She wondered
what Jack was feeling. Casting a glance at him, she found that he acted as calm as ever.

After the doctor had finished giving them instructions, Rachel and Jack thanked him. As the pair walked
out, Jack bent down to carry her in his arms.

Rachel blushed and hid her face in his arms. "Jack, could you please stop hugging me like that? I feel
embarrassed."

He raised his eyebrows expressionlessly. "But the doctor told me to take care of you. This is my way of
making sure that you're okay."

"He meant that I shouldn't exhaust my feet. He didn't mean that you should coddle me like a child!"

Jack retorted defensively, "Hey, I just want to help you! Don't get mad at me!"

She opened her mouth to refute, but failed to come up with a good come-back. Jack smirked as her
face slowly reddened.

Without further protesting, she allowed Jack to continue carrying her out of the doctor's office. While
they were bickering, they encountered a familiar person.



Upon seeing Lucas, she struggled to get down. However, Jack didn't let her go. "Stop, you're going to
hurt yourself," he scolded.

She began to calm down and awkwardly raised her head to look at the man in front of them. "Hi,
Lucas."

Lucas looked at their intimate position. Pretending not to notice it, he nodded towards their direction.
"What are you guys doing here?"

Jack blankly stared at him and replied, "She needed to be treated in the hospital."

Lucas' eyes fell on Rachel's injured ankle, an unnatural expression on his handsome face.

He wanted to say something to comfort her, but didn't know what to say. "I'm so sorry. About
yesterday..."

"It's okay. You don't have to keep apologizing to me," Rachel said with a smile.

A smile curled at the corners of Lucas' mouth. He gently touched his nose. Everyone fell silent,
awkwardly standing in the hallway.

Just as Rachel was about to break free from his arms, Jack tightly pressed her body up against his.

Before she could say something, Jack said, "We are leaving now."

Before neither Lucas nor Rachel could speak, Jack walked off with her in his arms.

They attracted numerous attention along the way. Rachel was so embarrassed that she gritted her
teeth and buried her head into his arms.

She pushed Jack away immediately after getting into the car, still red from what had just happened.
"Jack!"



Before she could finish, Jack raised his hand and placed his finger on her lips, stopping her from
speaking.

"Shh, be quiet." He didn't think there was anything wrong with his behavior. "There's nothing to be
angry about. Are you feeling shy be hugged by me in front of him?"

Dumbfounded, Rachel closed her mouth and sat patiently. Jack pushed her back in her seat and
smirked. "Sit up. We're going back home."

After he got into the driver's seat, Rachel asked, "Are we going to go back so soon?"

"Why? Do you want to go somewhere else? You need to rest."

Rachel shook her head and said, "No, I don't want to go anywhere else."

He smiled, his eyes brightly twinkling.

The employees in the MK Group were gossiping about the mysterious woman in the president's office.

When everyone was guessing if the president had a new girlfriend, someone told them that woman
was actually the president's wife.

The newly found information began to spread like wildfire.

People began to ask questions about who she was. This was the first time that they were hearing about
her and they wanted to know more.

However, they couldn't enter the office to see her.

While a lady was checking the message, someone accidentally tapped at her table. She looked up,
frightened, and tried to hide her phone.



She stood up and stammered, "Austin."

Seeing that she was frightened, Austin looked at her phone quietly and laughed. "What were you
doing?"

"Uhm... Nothing..."

Austin smiled leisurely. "Well, focus on your work and don't be too distracted."

The girl nodded and sat down to work immediately.

When Austin entered the president's office, it was very quiet. Jack was sitting at his table, with Rachel
on the sofa. She was playing on her phone.

Austin walked towards Jack and whispered something in his ear. Rachel kept quiet until he left.

It reminded him that every time Celine came here, there was always a lot of noise in the office.

Not long after, Celine had stopped showing up in the company anymore.

Austin wondered, 'Did Jack really abandon Celine?

Well... It was not appropriate to use the word "abandon." Maybe he knows having an affair is not right,
and he plans to be together with his wife.'

It was so quiet in the meeting room.

The atmosphere was a little serious. Everyone held their breath and waited for Jack to speak.

After a few minutes, Jack turned the documents over in his hands and kept silent, his eyes looking
down.



He placed his left hand on the table, and tapped it with his index finger, like drum beats.

Everyone felt restless, they couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry.

Generally speaking, they shouldn't have made such a mistake.

The people sitting here today felt uneasy. No one was able to get away without taking responsibility.

The president had personally invited them here. It would be a small matter if they were scolded, but if
they were to be fired...

They knew Jack was by no means a kind-hearted man.

While they were all waiting for Jack's response, he had closed the materials in his hands. He leaned
back and crossed his arms over his chest.

He casted a cold glance in their direction. They thought he would lose his temper this time.

However, beyond their expectation, after glancing at them, Jack nonchalantly said,

"So what have you been doing the last few days?"

They had expected him to be angry, but instead, they were met with a nice gesture. Deep inside, they
felt that it was just the calm before the storm.

One by one, they stood up bravely and made their statement clear. There were those with cold sweat
dripping on their backs.

Jack stood up. Just when they thought they were about to be scolded by the boss, he turned around
and casually walked out.



When the door closed behind them, they looked at each other dumbfounded. Some of them breathed a
sigh of relief and wiped the sweat off their forehead. "We're done."

It just had only been a few days that Jack wasn't able to pay attention to his business. His subordinates
had made a big mistake.

After a while, Jack came back to his seat and started to sort out the documents in front of him. "I am
expecting that you submit solutions for me to review. In addition, the company will deal with mistakes
you made this time. Austin will inform you later about how this will ensue."

"Noted."

All of them quickly packed their items and left. They felt mixed feelings, both relived but also a little
worried.

They were unsure whether their boss would drop the matter or he just let them go for now and would
punish them later.

Finally, they all had reached an agreement.

It seemed that Jack was in a good mood today, which might be the reason why he didn't lose his
temper.

It was really weird. They lingered in the meeting room for a while before walking to the elevator.

Suddenly, someone said in a low voice, "Look at him..."

Everyone followed the direction where the man winked at. When they saw the scene, they all had their
eyes wide open.

Jack was speaking to a woman, as if comforting her. They didn't notice that many were watching them.



A look of impatience flashed across Jack's face. He bent down to lift her horizontally and strode inside
his office.

The scene stunned the others for a while. Once the two were out of sight, they began to talk amongst
themselves.

They were all shocked. "Who is she?"

"I don't know..."

"But I heard that he has a girlfriend."

"I've seen his girlfriend before. But his girlfriend isn't that woman!"

Inside the office, Jack put Rachel down and said, "Just sit here today and stop making trouble."

Rachel blushed with anger. "I'm not making any trouble. I want to leave."

He glanced at her coldly, full of disdain. "What is so important that you have to leave? Tell me!"

She was speechless for a moment. "Something urgent..."

"What's so urgent?" Jack was determined to pursue the matter until he had an answer. His dark eyes
observed the expression on her face and slightly narrowed his eyes. He wanted to find clues about
where she was going to go.

Rachel didn't know how to explain why she had to leave in a hurry, because she actually had nothing
important to do at the moment. She just wanted to leave the office.

But there was only one thing. It was something that had happened just now.



He grabbed her by the waist and encircled his arms around her. He looked down at her and rudely
spat, "Perhaps, it was because of what had happened just now..."
