My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 182

Jack went to the study and took out his laptop. He then opened the report of the newly-finished project and showed it to Rachel.

As one of the shareholders, Jack was invited to the opening of the new resort.

Of course, it was impossible for MK Group to the sole shareholder. Otherwise, it would arouse anger from other companies.

Jack knew that MK Group was already strong enough now. And as the CEO of the company, he was not into expanding its scope anymore. All he wanted to do was develop the company well and make it more well-known.

Therefore, he thought that doing something under the name of MK Group wouldn't be appropriate.

That was the reason why this new resort project was his personal investment.

All the processes and procedures were done under his name.

It couldn't be avoided that people would think that MK Group was taking control of everything, so he played such a smart trick.

He knew that if MK Group would compete with other companies and the local government in this project, they would need to take much effort to win.

So this time, he let someone else to take down

the project and he got 30% shares under his name.

He would go to the resort to check its operation.

But he didn't need to explain the details to Rachel.

He only had one purpose of telling her about it. "I will take you there. There's a hot spring there that we can try."

Rachel couldn't help laughing and said, "It's summer now. It's too hot to enjoy the hot spring."

She flicked back her long hair casually.

It seemed that Jack was mesmerized by her gesture. He couldn't get angry to Rachel's complaint at all.

He raised his hand and caressed her smooth long hair. It was a habit that he got addicted to. While playing her hair around his fingers, he asked, "How about the blood spring?"

Rachel was stunned. "Blood spring?" she asked in surprise.

Jack let go of her hair and went back to his laptop. He opened a folder of some photos and showed them to her.

The pool was not very big but the water was all red like blood. On the side of the pool stood a blooming cherry tree. The petals that fell from the tree were scattered on the water.

At the corner, a beautiful garden view with a gorgeous rockery was clearly visible. Red bars were winding through the rockery and the long corridor was tiled green.

The style was very classical.

But something was strange. In ancient times, nobody enjoyed taking a bath naked in the open air.

Jack clicked the mouse again and the next picture showed a bathtub that was decorated with royal white marbles.

The marbles looked warm.

As she examined it carefully, she found out that it was made of crystal threads and the shallow surface was made of stone.

There were also two dragon statues at both sides. The water was gushing out from their mouths going to the pool.

The sheer curtain at the edge rose slightly showing a mist that was almost steaming.

"This is the design sketch," said Jack, pointing at the totem For Rachel, everything looked real. She knew that these photos were not photoshopped so she began to be curious.

Seeing the expression on her face, Jack said, "These are just pictures. They are actually not as exquisite as you imagine."

For Jack, the most important thing was the feelings of the people who would go there.

This was also what the investors wanted to

see.

Before Rachel could say anything more, Jack pulled her hair again and kissed her on the lips. "Next week, I'll take you there. I'm sure, it's going to be interesting."

While listening to him, she pulled her long hair away from his hand rudely and muttered, "Why do you always like doing these little moves recently?"

Rachel felt that Jack always took advantage of her, like touching her or kissing her from time to time.

As he heard her complained, Jack's eyes darkened. What he actually wanted to do was not only these things she called "little moves."

What he badly wanted was to make love to her.

But he was afraid to say it to her directly. He didn't want Rachel to think that he was with her only because of sex.

He liked her so much that he always wanted to be close to her.

This time, Rachel felt that it was useless to refuse him. He came forward to kiss her gently again.

Rachel had gradually gotten used to his kisses but she still sometimes felt uncomfortable to his physical intimacy now and then.

He would behave properly when they were with other people. But every time they were alone, he was always very troublesome.

Jack's slender fingers gently intertwined with her delicate fingers. Rachel pretended to be expressionless, but her ears betrayed her as they immediately turned red from the burning sensation.

Rachel suddenly remembered the shy little girl that she was before. As memories from the past flashed through her mind, she got distracted. When

Jack noticed it, he gently bit her lower lip as if punishing her for not paying attention. The pain brought her back to the present time.
