Stuck in you

Chapter 45 Have Dinner Together

"Damn it! Why can’t I ask you? If I can’t, then who can?" Eric snapped.

The cluster of people gathered behind Eric couldn’t help but poking him on the shoulder. "Hey!"

Eric turned around and asked in an aggravated voice, "What’s with you?"

"Can you lower your voice? They all are looking at you." reminded the girl wearing a light grey baseball coat.

Eric was flabbergasted as he realized that his high-pitched voice had attracted the attention of innumerable people. A shade of red appeared on his pretty face. He felt embarrassed as he said in a hushed tone, "Sorry. Thank you for reminding me."

"You’re welcome." The girl grinned from ear to ear. Her sparkling teeth caught Eric’s attention, and he blushed.

"Rachel! Who on earth do you want to go out with?"

Eric continued to ask.

At that moment, Rachel, who was followed by Jack, came downstairs. "Jack Fu," she answered.

The person on the other end of the line was silent for a moment. Before hanging up, he cursed, "Fuck."

Eric didn’t have the guts to compete against Jack.

He had vowed to find out as to who was bold enough to ask Rachel out. But when he knew it was Jack, he could do nothing. When did he resurface again in her life?

Eric had no intentions of going back and having an encounter with Jack as he was no match for him.

He was beaten up so severely that Jack's name haunted him. He felt as if he was less of a being whenever he encountered Jack.

"Hey! Hey!" A soft, gentle voice was heard from behind. Still exasperated from the thought of Jack, Eric turned around and was greeted by a bright smile which portrayed a row of gleaming, white teeth. His sour mood immediately lightened, and he smiled readily.

He then cleared his throat and asked in a soft voice, "What’s the matter?"

The girl in the baseball coat raised her head. "Move forward; you are blocking us."

Only then did Eric realize that there was no one in front of him, and the people behind were glaring at him.

He took a big step forward.

The girl took out her phone and sent a message to her friend.

"Damn it! There is an idiot in front of me!"
