Stuck in you

Rachel was in no hurry, draining the coffee leisurely like a lioness stalking her prey, waiting to pounce. Although it was Celine who'd taken upon herself to ask Rachel for a talk, it seemed that it would be Rachel who'd take matters into her own hands and initiate a conversation.

Celine pinched her thigh under the table again.

She dared to be willful in front of Jack because of how he'd spoiled her. But her antics fell short in front of Rachel, for Rachel was Jack's lawfully wedded wife.

Even though Jack had proclaimed that his marriage was in name only, Celine still felt ashamed of herself in front of his wife.

'That is going to change today, ' Celine thought to herself.

'Rachel is Jack's legal spouse. But he doesn't love her at all. He loves me!'

At the thought of this, Celine felt more confident. Looking at Rachel, she tried to adjust her mood and looked as leisurely as Rachel.

Celine failed to notice how ridiculous she looked in Rachel's eyes.

"Rachel, I need to tell you something."

Rachel sat back and observed Celine steadily. Raising her chin ever so slightly, she simply said, "Go on."

Celine felt her composure slipping, and she felt dismayed as her confidence left her under Rachel's piercing gaze.

Celine threw away all the plates and asked, "Rachel, tell me, what on earth is your relationship with Jack?"

Rachel smiled, "Miss Duan, don't you know that we are a couple?"

Hearing the word "couple" jolted Celine. She exclaimed in annoyance, "Jack said it! He doesn't love you, nor do you love him!"

Rachel smiled, "Every man who is unfaithful to his wife gives the same reason to his mistress. Miss Duan, don't you know that?"

Celine felt at a loss of words, caught off guard she couldn't seem to refute Rachel. She inhaled sharply and hurled her question at Rachel like an accusation. "What kind of a couple are you? How many times do the two of you meet? Does he love you? Are you aware that he has been sleeping with me all these year, Mrs Fu?" Celine mockingly pronounced the last two words, as if daring Rachel to respond.
