Stuck in you

Chapter 256 Insomnia

Rachel's eyes looked sore. She turned her head to one side clumsily. "I got goose bumps all over," she complained.

"Really?" Jack asked with a laugh.

"Yeah!" Rachel replied in a tone of contempt. One corner of her lips rose up involuntarily.

Jack smiled silently when he saw this. "Well, I was saying the truth."

"Don't say that to me again!"

"I will say something like that in the future more often."

Jack's words made Rachel burst into a loud laughter. "Come on! Are you the same Jack I used to know? You are acting like a teenager now!"

He raised a hand to touch the tip of his nose as he bent his upper body forward sulkily. "Don't you know that it took me a very long time to finally have the courage to express such a confession?"

"I know," Rachel said in a soft voice. She was surprised to hear the actual words even though she had expected it. She bit her lower lip and took a deep breath.

Jack raised one of his eyebrows that gave him an inquisitive look. "What do you know?"

She slightly lowered her head and looked serious. There was a slight blush of red on her cheeks and ears. "I know what you meant by what you said just now."

Her sweet and awkward look made him feel crazy.

He wasn't able to stop himself from giving her a passionate kiss.

Rachel flailed her hands randomly. She was so surprised by what Jack did that she wanted to stand up and stamp her feet in protest.

But she felt amused and didn't have it in her to stop him.

Before they could spend more time on the kiss, someone suddenly knocked on the door and interrupted them.

There was a lingering smile on Jack's face when he opened the door. There was a strange yet beautiful woman at the door, and he had never seen her before. The woman tried to peek inside but hesitated. "Excuse me, is Rachel here by any chance? I am one of her colleagues."

But before Jack could answer, he heard Rachel's surprised voice from behind him. "Vicky?"

Jack stepped aside to let Vicky see the inside a lot better. She saw Rachel sitting on a wheelchair. She smiled and replied, "Yes, it's me, Rachel."

Steaming mist rose slowly from the tea cup in Jack's hand as he watched the two women.

Some tea crumbs floated in the cup in his hand. Jack took the cup with him as he walked towards a tall table. He jokingly cursed himself for getting demoted to a tea maker from being a boss.

He then handed the tea cup to the guest.

It was only one cup of tea that Jack made for the guest since Rachel still couldn't see.

Vicky accepted the cup and thanked Jack politely. She then stared at him silently for a while.

Even though she'd never met Jack before, she had seen him a few times on TV and magazines.
