Stuck in you

Cherry saw the interaction between the couple and smiled. "You know, I used to have a secret crush on Jack, but that was all in the past."

"You don't have to tell her that."

At her senseless words, Jack immediately frowned at the implication. He turned to Rachel and explained himself, "She was just an immature girl that time. The only thing she knew back then was to chase handsome boys around."

"It seems you've grown an even bigger head since the last time I saw you." Cherry slapped the back of Jack's shoulder heavily before turning to the other woman. "I hope you don't misunderstand, Rachel. This is just how I joke around."

"It's fine."

Rachel didn't think too much into their relationship. She just found the two very interesting. In fact, she never heard that Jack had a female friend before.

To be even more frank, she had never seen this side of him before—the one that was more playful without any inhibitions.

Jack turned serious. "Isn't the exhibition over by nine?" he asked. "Where are you going now?"

Cherry rubbed the back of her neck. "Well, something had gone wrong with our hotel, so now my husband and I have to find another one. Otherwise, we will be sleeping on the streets."

"How many days will you be staying in the city?"

There was silence before she answered, "About a week."

"If that's the case, then you don't have to find another hotel." He shrugged. "You can stay at my place. I can ask the maid to clean the guest room. You're welcome to go there in a while."

Cherry's eyes widened in surprise. "And where will you live?"

Turning his head to glance at Rachel, Jack flashed a smile. "I can stay somewhere else."

The moment Rachel heard his words, a shiver shot down her spine.

After a while, the matter had been settled. Cherry and her husband would stay at his place while Jack would seek refuge somewhere else.

Once they said goodbyes, Rachel immediately removed his hand from her waist and furrowed her eyebrows. "You're lending your house to Cherry and her husband," she stated as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "Where are you going to stay tonight?"

Jack didn't answer. Instead, he simply grinned at her.

It was strange.

She furrowed her eyebrows. Seeing that she might not be able to figure it out herself, he sighed.

He pointed at her. "Your place."
