Stuck in you

Although Jack's words seemed harmless, Rachel was on alert after the previous incident. She kept wondering if something was wrong and secretly checked herself again.

Pretending not to notice her suspicious eyes, Jack leaned back and looked out the window. Even his profile looked cold and handsome, hard to get close to.

Francis' engagement banquet was held on the second floor of Seaside International Hotel. When Jack and Rachel reached the venue, they found that it looked grand and magnificent. On the first floor, there was a thick red carpet leading from the entrance to a heart-shaped door to welcome the guests.

The two of them followed a waiter upstairs. Just before the last step, Jack suddenly stopped, took Rachel's wrist, and linked arms with her.

Rachel's heart skipped a beat, but she had no time to think about it as Jack immediately resumed walking forward, pulling her along with him.

When they entered the banquet hall arm in arm, they drew the attention of many people.

It was a western-style party, so all of the guests were drinking and happily chatting with each other.

Jack and Rachel walked in quietly without making an entrance, but as soon as they arrived, the host of the party was informed.

Francis raised his eyebrows and waved the messenger away. Then, with his fiancee, he walked over to the guests who had just arrived.

"Mr. Fu, here you are! Mrs. Fu, long time no see..." Francis snapped his fingers as he greeted them, summoning one of the waiters. Then, he took two glasses of champagne from the tray in the waiter's hand and handed it to them, his eyes lingering on Rachel for a moment.

Then, he introduced his fiancee to both of them before taking Jack aside to talk to him privately.

Francis' fiancee, Wendy Wen, was a sweet and beautiful girl. Although she never treated people differently based on their identity and status, she knew that there was a difference between a normal guest and a distinguished one.

Soon, the other guests at the party began to notice Rachel. They didn't know her as she had seldom taken part in these occasions.

A group of them went up to Wendy to greet her, and then fixed their eyes on Rachel. Noticing the shift in their gazes, Wendy warmly introduced Rachel to them. "This is Mrs. Fu."

Upon hearing that the woman standing in front of them was Jack's wife, the expressions on their faces changed. They immediately went over to her and greeted her with warm smiles.

Wendy, who was supposed to be the star of the banquet, was pushed to the side and awkwardly neglected all of a sudden.

As for Rachel, she didn't know any of the socialites who were enthusiastically greeting her, so she felt a little embarrassed by the sudden attention on her.

Most of the socialites seemed good-natured and tried to include Rachel in their mellow conversation, but Rachel felt awkward and out of place.

However, they all just continued talking as if they hadn't noticed Rachel's discomfort.

Wendy, who had been left outside this circle, felt a little embarrassed after seeing the attention shift to Rachel. She quickly looked around for her fiance but he was nowhere to be found.

She hesitated for a while and wondered what to do. In fact, she could see that Rachel wasn't enjoying the attention at all.
