Stuck in you

After contemplating for a long time, Eric decided that if Rachel had really fallen in love with Jack, what he might say would be a burden to her.

He heaved a sigh and said sulkily, "He's okay."

Rachel looked at him strangely. It took her a moment before she spoke again. "Whatever it is that you want to say, just tell me."

"No, there's nothing else," denied Eric.

In the evening, Jack came back on time to pick them up. Before going out, Rachel took a cap and put it on Eric's head to cover his wound.

Eric looked at himself in the mirror. The hat looked perfect. It covered his wound and highlighted his handsome face at the same time. He was quite satisfied with it.

He flicked the brim of his hat, a bright smile appeared on his handsome face.

Jack was waiting for them downstairs when they came down. Eric went straight to the car. Rachel reminded him, "Don't move too fast. Be careful of your wound."

"Yes," replied Eric.

They went to Royal Private Kitchen for dinner. It was the most famous restaurant in Ninwell City.

This restaurant had recipes which were passed on from generation to generation for over a hundred years. They even served the imperial palace. Every day, they couldn't avoid refusing a number of customers because of too many reservations.

Even customers from well-off families sometimes needed to wait on queue just to make a reservation here. That was why almost everyone dreamed of dining in Royal Private Kitchen.

Eric was so excited to have dinner here.

This had been his long time wish.

Although Rachel was not very much familiar with the restaurant, she got out of the car casually and followed the waiter who was waiting at the entrance.

The interior design of the restaurant was quite ancient. Its atmosphere was calm and quiet. Rachel noticed the thick carpet on the floor, the carved screens, the wall fans, and the blue china bottles on the wall.

They walked through the corridor in silence. The doors to the private rooms were closed.

They stopped at the door of a private room. Then a waitress in cheongsam dress knocked before opening it and letting them in.

At first, Rachel wondered why the waitress needed to knock before letting them in. Only when they got inside that she found out, some people were already there waiting for them.

Rachel saw Michael, Marcus and Henry. She hadn't seen them for a long time but of course, she could still remember them.

There were also other two people that Rachel didn't know.

She started to feel nervous. Jack seemed to have noticed it so he held her hand quietly.
