My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 398

Looking at Austin's expression, Jack frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Tell me."

"During your absence, Mr. Chen asked us to take all the documents to his office." Austin had actually wanted to stop them, but he had no way to do so.

Jack glanced at the vice president's office and smiled coldly. "That's good then."

'Good?' Austin thought inwardly.

He had been Jack's assistant for so many years and he thought he already knew him well. But this time, he couldn't figure out what he meant.

Jack was deep in thought for a while before he said coldly again, "I believe you have a copy of our organizational chart and the department job description on your computer. Mr. Chen must have forgotten the details of his job description. Print a copy and give it to him."

Mr. Chen was one of MK Group's shareholders. It was very likely that he took over Jack's job intentionally to lay a foundation for their plans.

Austin scratched his head when he finally realized what Jack meant. "Yes, Mr. Fu. I should have thought about that from the very start." Rachel rested at home for days, and she felt better now, so she decided to go back to work. After slowly preparing everything, she was about to go out when the doorbell rang.

Bill was standing at the door with a shopping bag in his hand. Seeing Rachel dressed and holding a bag in her hand too, his brows creased as he asked, "Are you going to school?"

"Yes. I have a class today." Rachel simply pulled her long black hair back and tied it into a ponytail.

Bill nodded and smiled. "I'll drive you there. Let me put these inside first."

He arranged everything he brought inside the fridge. Only a bottle of warm milk and a sandwich were left in the bag. He took them out and handed them to Rachel. "I know you haven't eaten breakfast yet."

"Bill, you don't have to do this." She felt a little guilty.

That day in the car, when he asked her if it would be okay that he took care of her, she refused without hesitation. But he didn't seem to mind it. He still came to her house every day.

And every time he came over, he always carried shopping bags in his hands.

Bill lowered his head and turned to wash his hands in the sink to hide the disappointment in his eyes. "Rachel, I want to be nice to you." "But Bill, if you continue to act like this, you will only put me under so much pressure."

Despite everything that happened, there was still only one person in her heart. No matter how long it took or what Bill did, he couldn't ever replace Jack in her heart.

She didn't want to give Bill false hopes. As much as possible, she didn't want him to waste his time on her.

Bill walked over to her and took her bag. "Rachel, you don't need to feel stressed. I'm your friend. You can even treat me as your brother. Think of me as a brother who is taking care of my pregnant sister."

Sensing that she wanted to say something, he quickly changed the topic. "What time is your class? We won't be late, will we?"

"No, we won't."

Rachel smiled and didn't say anything more.

Bill's car slowly stopped in front of the school gate. Rachel had also finished eating the breakfast he made. She was about to get out of the car when he asked softly, "What time will you be off work? I'll come to pick you up."

"No, thanks. I'll just take a taxi home." She didn't want to bother him anymore.

However, he ignored her answer and insisted. Left with no choice, she told him what time her class would end. Rachel stood at the gate and watched Bill's car driving slowly into the traffic. She couldn't help but sigh. Sometimes, someone's too much kindness could also be a burden.

She didn't know how she could repay him for everything he had done for her.

When Bill's car was already out of her sight, she turned around and slowly walked to the school. Suddenly, she felt someone tapped her shoulder, and a cheerful voice rang in her ears. "Hello, Miss Shen. How are you now?"

She smiled and answered, "Feeling much better."

It was Mrs. Zhu, a surgeon professor. Although she was already in her mid-forties, her body was well-maintained. Her skin was white as snow and almost wrinkle-free.

When people asked her what her secret was, she would always answer with a smile, "Always be happy."

Rachel added, "I was able to rest well for two days, so I'm okay now. Thanks for asking."

"I'm glad to hear that." Mrs. Zhu held her arm and looked back. She pointed at the direction where Bill's car had left and asked, "Is he your boyfriend? I saw him from the car's window. He is so handsome."
