A clear voice came from the direction of the door. Rachel walked in leisurely. At first, she glanced at Eric. Then she focused her attention on Jack.
He looked right back, not showing any change in emotion.
Rachel had rushed here all the way from the parking lot. She hadn't expected that Jack would hit Eric that hard.
Seeing Eric's swollen face and Jack's foot on his hand, Rachel felt nervous. However, she acted rather calm on the surface.
"I have to get things settled today," said Jack, looking deeply into Rachel's eyes. His black eyes did not display any particular emotion.
Hearing this, Rachel shifted her attention from Jack to Celine, the latter still as indifferent as before. She burst into a fit of laughter. "Yes, it's time to put an end to this."
She slowly approached Jack, drew her body close to him, and said, "This is all for her, isn't it?"
Celine's expression changed in a matter of seconds, her eyes focused on Rachel.
Rachel raised her head to match Jack's height. Gently, she kissed him.
She looked him in the eye. His expression remained unchanged. Without warning, Rachel then bit him on the lips.
Jack stared at her, doing nothing. Yet, his eyes gleamed.
It felt as though time had stopped altogether.
'What is happening? Boss is being kissed by this woman!' Jack's men thought.
For the first time, they didn't know what to do. Even Eric was stunned.
"What are you doing?" Celine stammered in disbelief and irritation. The gall to pull off such a stunt! Why wouldn't Jack say anything? Shouldn't he stop this woman and push her away?
Rachel gently pulled away and turned toward Celine. "Miss Duan, isn't that a strange question to ask? Jack and I are a married couple. Isn't it normal for married couples to exchange a kiss?"
Celine's blood boiled with rage. The smile plastered on Rachel's face was in stark contrast to what Celine was feeling now.
She looked angrily at Jack. He hadn't pushed Rachel away, and he even let her kiss him like that. Seeing no expression of guilt or fear on his face, Celine felt wronged. Her eyes welled up with tears.
