Stuck in you

The way Jack looked at him sent chills down Eric's spine. Bowing his head, he answered in a low voice, "Yes."

"Okay," Jack nodded and left.

For a while, Eric remained seated. Then, he went outside, bent over the railing, and peeped at the entrance below.

When he was sure that Jack already left, Eric stood up straight and faced the hallway. Imagining Jack in front of him, he punched and kicked fiercely in the air.

After venting, Eric couldn't help but despise himself. 'What a coward!'

Eric swore to himself that he would never run away from Jack anymore. Moreover, teaching that guy a lesson was also on his list! But of course, this was all his wishful thinking.

There was one thing which kept nagging in his mind. What happened last night? 'Is it really true that Jack took care of Rachel the whole night?' Eric wondered. Confusion was reflected in his eyes.

'How could it be possible?' In his eyes, Jack was not a good man.

Meanwhile, Jack called his secretary. "Austin, go meet Mr. Xu at eight o'clock." Looking at his watch, he continued, "I will be late for about forty minutes. Tell him I'm sorry."

"Okay, Mr. Fu. I will tell him."

After hanging up the phone, Jack rubbed his forehead. He was a little tired because of staying up all night. Remembering Rachel's improved condition this morning, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he heard his stomach growl. With his stomach crying of hunger, he suddenly smelled the faint scent of food in the car.

Remembering all the snacks he bought last night, he knew they were not yummy anymore.

As a local, he wasn't aware that such a food street existed. He was lucky that Rachel brought him there.

Going back to last night's outing, Jack thought that Rachel, being a doctor, would not eat in places like that for they were not clean enough.

In his view, all women were particular about impressions. Women, especially when going on a date, would pay attention to their appearances and actions.

But, Rachel was different. She had blown hard on the soup, making her cheeks puffed which he had wanted to poke.

There were only three possibilities he could think of why a woman didn't pay much attention to her behavior in front of a man. First, she was very familiar with the guy. Second, she was an easy-going lady. And third, she didn't care about the guy.

With his slender fingers tapping the steering wheel, Jack thought Rachel must be the third type. She didn't care about him at all.

Just as what Jack said, the food was delivered soon after he left. Eric wanted to throw it. But when he saw the hotel name printed on the box, he changed his mind.
