Stuck in you

The Western restaurant was well decorated. Its romantic style gave off a very warm and homey feeling, suitable for couples going on a date or for friends to meet for a cup of coffee.

It was strange that so many people gathered here. What was even stranger was the atmosphere. They weren't communicating with each other.

Jack didn't speak because he felt the others didn't like him.

He understood why Eric didn't like him. But he couldn't figure out why this beautiful woman, Lea, disliked him too.

They didn't know each other, and so there was only one reason why she disliked him.

It was because of Rachel.

She was one of Rachel's friends, and Rachel must have said something about him to her.

It was easy to guess why she had treated him so coldly.

Jack wore a poker face. He wouldn't let their hatred get to him.

Eric was sitting opposite Jack. He sometimes mocked Jack, and sometimes talked with Lucas, as if they were good friends.

He asked about Lucas and Rachel's campus life.

Lea joined their conversation, leaving Jack out of the loop. He had no idea what they were talking about.

Jack had no chance to join their conversation.

So he continued to enjoy his meal in isolation and peace.

Eric was determined to keep Jack out of the conversation.

But he didn't expect that the man would sit there so comfortably in solitude. He continued to eat his food without minding everyone else.

Eric was very disappointed and struck up a conversation to attack him. "Mr. Fu, you must be very busy these days. How is it that you even have time to have dinner with us?"

Jack knew if he didn't answer his question, Eric would not let him go.

Rachel silently groaned. Eric needed to stop being such a bully. The air was already harboring a lot of tension. There were more opportunities in the future for him to pick a fight with Jack.

It was not a good time for them to talk and she wanted to close the door to deal with her family matters. She feared that if Jack held a grudge against Eric, he might do something to hurt him. She was very sure about this.

Eric was not smart at all. But before Rachel could say something to calm him down, Jack suddenly placed his knife and fork down.
