Stuck in you

At lunch time, Rachel thought that she finally played her role. She whispered in Jack's ear, reminding him of what he should eat and what he shouldn't.

Jack followed her instructions, avoiding spicy and oily food.

The others observed them quietly, lost in their own thoughts.

They left after lunch, and Jack went back to the 23rd floor with Rachel.

Jack closed the door of his office, and told the receptionist not to disturb him before 3 p.m.

He entered his private lounge.

After taking a shower, Jack changed his clothes. He put his arm around her waist, kissed her on the face, and said, "Take a shower and then relax."

Flushed, Rachel pushed him away and murmured, "I'm not tired."

He was about to lean against her again, but Rachel turned away and said, "I'm going to take a shower, too."

Although she wasn't sweating, she decided to follow Jack's advice and take a shower.

When she came out again, Jack was nowhere to be seen, but she heard a faint sound.

Rachel was a little confused. She turned to the right and opened a door. She had been there in the morning, but she didn't realize that there was another room.

She heard a loud clacking and saw a pool table in the room.

Rachel walked in and found it was a room full of fitness equipment.

The room was covered with a deep green carpet, and it was narrow and long.

There was sports equipment on both sides of the room along the walls, and the pool table was at the end of the room. Jack was bending down and aiming his cue at his goal on the table.

There was another clacking sound, and a ball fell into a pocket of the table.

He raised his head and saw her standing at the door. He stood up straight and motioned for her to approach, saying, "Come here."

Rachel looked around and walked down the room to the table. It was a small fitness room.

She could tell that Jack spent much of his time here. She walked up to him.

Jack pulled her closer to him and raised his chin slightly, beckoning for her to look at the table, asking, "You want to play?"

Rachel shook her head and said, "I don't know how to play pool."

He smiled and handed the cue to her. "Hold it tightly." Rachel had to clench it.

Then Jack moved closer to her and whispered in her ear.

Rachel hadn't played pool before, and at that moment, she was very eager to learn it. With his guidance, she began to learning to play pool.
