Stuck in you

Now that Celia stayed in Rachel's apartment, Jack had less time to spend with Rachel.

When Jack called Michael and Marcus over, Michael couldn't help but tease him, "Now, why did the president of MK Group suddenly grace us with his presence? Shouldn't you be somewhere else? Perhaps coaxing a certain beauty?"

"Cut the crap, and just enjoy the wine. I'm paying the bill tonight." Jack poured them both a glass before sighing heavily. "Besides, even if I want to, I couldn't see her."

Marcus furrowed his eyebrows. "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

"No. It's just a nurse is staying in Rachel's house. It wouldn't be convenient for me to go there." He looked up from the rim of his own glass. "She is the nurse you drove back home the other night."

Michael snorted as he slung his arm around the Jack's shoulder. "What is inconvenient about going there? Unless of course... you're going to make out with her."

He pushed Michael's hand off his shoulder. "I meant that it isn't inconvenient to chat! I'm not like you, you know."

"We're all men. You shouldn't be embarrassed about these things either way." Michael snorted, downing the red wine in his glass before slamming it back onto the table. When he glanced at the other side, he suddenly found himself fixated on a beautiful dark-haired woman who had just entered the bar. His eyes glinted as he whistled and stood up. "Enjoy yourselves, men. I'm afraid that I won't have the time to converse with you tonight."

"This guy values women more than his friends." Marcus sighed helplessly, but he wasn't surprised as well. Every time he would go out with Michael, he would always be driving back alone by the time the party was over.

Then again, it was a good thing that his boisterous friend wasn't here. That way, he could ask Jack about Celia.

"Didn't she live in a rental apartment? Why is she at Rachel's?"

"I don't know. I haven't made it clear." Jack shrugged before raising his eyebrows at his friend. "You're interested in her, aren't you?"

"I am." Marcus didn't bother to hide the fact as he clinked his glass against his friend's. "Thank you for giving me the information."

In the nurse station, Celia said with a grin, "Mindy, I heard that you have very extensive connections. Can you help me find a suitable apartment to live in?"

It was comfortable to live in Rachel's house. But while she occupied the study, Rachel would only sit on the sofa to read her books.

Celia noticed how every time Rachel finished reading, she would turn and twist her neck in exhaustion.

Although Rachel didn't say anything, she still felt guilty

Mindy stopped what she was doing. "I want to help you, but you're asking for an apartment that's large enough to have a full-sized kitchen. Not only that, but you're asking for a place that's close to the hospital with a budgeted price range. I can't help you."

Celia placed her palms together in a pleading manner. "Please, I haven't even become a regular nurse yet. My salary's too low. If I portioned everything for my rent, I wouldn't be able to support myself."
