My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 170

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.

It looked so simple at first. But Rachel seemed to have trouble making the white ball go where she wanted it to go. She was a little discouraged.

She shook her head with a smile and gave the cue back to him. Jack grinned and asked her, "You don't like it?"

It was unusual for her to be so easily discouraged, but Rachel pouted like a child and said, "It's not fun at all. I can't hit it."

It was a bit stuffy in there, so Jack fumbled with a row of buttons on the wall and turned on the central air conditioner.

The machine worked well. Rachel was surprised, and asked, "You use air conditioning in the gym?"

He turned back and raised his eyebrows. "Why not?"

She said seriously, "It's easy to catch a cold in the cold air while sweating."

"Come on, don't lecture me." Jack raised his hand and gave her forehead a gentle flick. "I don't turn it on when I work out."

He put the cue back into Rachel's hands and said softly, "Let me teach you how to play."

And so he began teaching her again. This time he guided all her movements with his hand, as if

she were his puppet.

He did a good job of it. Rachel's hands and body followed his instructions completely. Jack didn't let her go until they completed several moves.

He went around to the other side and hit the last few balls. Then he walked to her side and kissed her.

Rachel still wasn't comfortable enough to accept his sudden kisses now and then.

She felt like he was about to transform into some kind of animal.

"How is it going?" he asked. "Shouldn't you give me a compliment?"

Rachel smiled slightly and replied, "What kind of compliment do you want?"

He rolled his eyes a little, and there was a look of mischief in his eyes. Rachel suddenly stiffened up. "That's enough. Do you want to turn into a horny goat?"

He smiled lightly and threw up his hands innocently. "I haven't said anything yet."

Rachel didn't want to make any reply. He was not only cunning, but also had a thick skin.

Not bothering to hide his intentions, he put the cue aside.

He stepped forward and gave her a deep kiss on the lips.

Rachel took a step back, with her back against the pool table. She raised her head slightly to receive his kiss. Jack guided her hands to go

around his waist.

The central air conditioner whirred faintly. The kiss lasted until she was almost breathless. Then he let her go and pressed his forehead against hers.

They looked into each other's eyes closely. Her eyes were as clear as water and as deep as the sea.
