Stuck in you

Chapter 267 Nice Work

Now, the men were all busy. They didn't hire a chef because they wanted to cook for the birthday celebrant by themselves.

It was their way of showing their sincerity.

The women also offered to help. They tried their best to slice the meat properly, in fear of being despised.

However, they were really not good at cutting meat. All of a sudden, Frank came over and saw the meat in different shapes and sizes. He exclaimed, "What the hell are you doing?"

The woman with the knife blushed and pouted, "We all can't do it."

As a mean man, Frank always said whatever he wanted to say. So when he examined the meat in the plate carefully and realized that it was such a failure, he said angrily, "Why can't you slice it well? Haven't you even thought of checking Google for a proper way?"

For him, what he said was just normal. He didn't care if it could hurt someone. But since women are sensitive in nature, tears welled up from the woman's eyes after hearing what he said.

Rachel heard the woman's cry.

Johnny, who was enjoying a slice of cake, stretched his neck to see why there seemed to be a commotion. He then came over and asked, "What's wrong?"

When the woman saw that he was approaching, she swiftly turned around and wiped the tears on her face.

There were also several women around and comforting her. Johnny noticed that Frank was with the women, so he asked again, "What's going on here? Did Frank bully any of you?"

"No, I didn't!" Frank was too quick to answer. He then turned around and pulled Johnny to the corner. He whispered something into his ear.

Jack noticed that Rachel was also there, so he said in a low voice, "It's smelly here. You better stay far away."

He was the one in charge of cooking.

Thus, everyone volunteered to help him in the kitchen.

Rachel moved closer to him and whispered, "I'm a little surprised."

Although she didn't seem to mind, Jack moved to the other side so that her clothes wouldn't get wet by the splashing water from the faucet.

He then asked, "Surprised of what?"

"I can't believe that you are playing with these kids," she replied with a smile.

Jack didn't know whether to laugh or to get angry. He reminded her, "The youngest of these people you call children is twenty years old, and the oldest is one year older than you."

Rachel watched him put the fish in a basin to wash it, and said, "It doesn't matter. For me, they are just kids."

He almost couldn't believe what she had just said. With a faint smile on his face, he asked in a low voice, "So you think I'm old?"

He was not really serious, but he somehow felt bad. It was undeniable that he was indeed older than her since he was almost thirty years old.

She was only in her early twenties, so she was still active and lively, just like these young men and women around him.

Thinking about, Jack couldn't help feeling sour in his heart. He subconsciously stopped what he was doing. Rachel waved her hand in front of him and asked, "Hey? What are you thinking?"

When he looked down, he found that he almost smashed the fish in his hand. He put it back to the basin and set it aside.

Rachel said again, "I don't mind if you're old. Besides, your age is just right for me."

He was slightly stunned, but the inexplicable jealousy in his heart suddenly dissipated.

He turned to her, raised his smelly hand, and said, "Come closer."

Although she was confused, she obediently walked up to him and asked, "What's wrong?" She tilted her head towards him.

All of a sudden, he kissed her on the lips.

Rachel didn't expect it, so she froze for a few seconds and then quickly stepped back. She looked around nervously as if afraid that someone had seen them. When she didn't see anyone looking at their direction, she heaved a sigh of relief. But her heart was still beating irregularly.

Although she didn't resist his constant kisses, she still wasn't used to showing such kind of intimacy in front of other people.

She thought that no one had seen what Jack did. But she didn't know that Marcus, who was standing not far away, witnessed their romantic moment.

Looking at his friend, Marcus couldn't help thinking that Jack was like a young boy who fell in love for the first time.

Unquestionably, he had already head over heels in love with Rachel.

When they were in the university, a lot of women chased Jack, but he just rejected them all.

But who would have thought that a pure and innocent woman named Rachel would be the one meant for him?

Michael, who was setting the table, saw Marcus in a daze, so he asked curiously, "What are you doing? What's that look on your face?"

Marcus raised his hand to cover his face as he mumbled, "This man... is totally a different person when in love."

Since Marcus was looking at the kitchen, Michael immediately understood what he meant.

Jack quietly continued cooking while Rachel went to Frank.

Johnny tried to cut the meat, but he realized that he was worse than the women who did it earlier.

He was really not good at it either.

Frank also teased him.

The women started to reproach Frank.

Slightly annoyed, Johnny snapped, "Shut up, Frank."

Since he had admitted that none of them could do it, he turned around and shouted, "Who knows how to slice meat? Please, come and help us."

To his surprise, Rachel came to his side.

He didn't expect that she knew how to cut meat. She was actually different from what he had imagined.

At first, he thought that since they were of the same age, she was also like those women he had played with. It was only later that he realized she was different from them.

He almost couldn't believe that she would come to help him.

Rachel immediately said, "Let me try it."

Everyone's eyes were fixed on her. Actually, on their way here, Johnny had already told them not to cause any troubles in the yacht and never leave Jack's wife alone.

That time, they didn't know who was Jack's wife yet, so they were all surprised when they met Rachel.

Johnny suddenly said, "No one can cut this meat perfectly. We need to roast it afterward."

Seeing the beef on the chopping board, Rachel asked, "What kind of cut would you like?"

"Just slice it any way you want," replied Johnny.

The meat he bought was not intended for steaks, so he thought that it would be best to roast it.

Rachel rolled up her sleeves and held the knife. She said, "That won't be a problem. I can do it."

She was about to start slicing the meat,

when Johnny interrupted her, "Hey... do you really know how to use a knife? What if you cut yourself? It's very dangerous."

'Jack will kill me if something happens to you,' he added in his mind.

However, he didn't expect that Rachel would be so confident. She put on a disposable glove in her left hand and held the knife in her right hand.

She took the beef and scanned its texture first. Then she started to slice it with the knife.

The audience were stunned while looking at her movements.

Disbelief was written all over their faces. Her cutting skill was not excellent,

but she was way better that the rest of them.

She was very careful in cutting the meat into even slices.

Johnny looked at the plate and picked up one slice with a chopstick. He then exclaimed, "Nice work!"

Rachel didn't react to his praise. Instead, she asked, "Do you want more?"

Johnny and Frank looked at each other first before the former answered, "If you don't mind... can you slice all of it?"

The beef in front of Rachel was more than 3 kilograms. It quality was even better than Kobe beef.

She continued slicing the meat while Johnny was carefully watching her. He was so amazed by her cutting skill.

He thought that she was really a wife material.

Jack just stood there quietly, but Johnny knew that he always cared about his wife and was very protective of her.

Finally, when Rachel finished slicing the meat, she got a chance to be alone.

Johnny, who had drunk some wine, came up to dissipate the smell of alcohol from his body.

As he was getting closer to the deck, he noticed that someone was standing alone in the dark. Instead of leaving, he came closer out of curiosity. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Rachel heard the footsteps behind her, so she turned her head.

Johnny's handsome face was a little flushed because of alcohol. He leaned against the railing and looked at her with curiosity.
