Stuck in you

The relationship between Rachel and Jack should have ended three years ago. She didn't want to get involved with him again.

Rachel continued to walk ahead. Eric walked faster until he caught up with her. He grabbed her arm and stopped her. "Rachel, it's just an ointment for burns. Just take it."

"If you bought it, then I would definitely take it," Rachel replied seriously.

She wouldn't casually accept anything from Jack, though.

Eric felt confused and thought that he had to ask about it. "Why do you always take for granted how much other people care for you?"

In his opinion, Jack did a pretty good job of it.

"You don't understand, Eric. I just hope that you will not get yourself involved in this matter. You don't have to do anything for us. It's useless."

It was one of the most difficult things to do to explain anything related to relationships to someone who was not involved in that relationship.

It was her opinion that two people who had been separated for years had gone through a lot of things during that time that turned each of them into a different person than they were before. Because of this, getting back together was very difficult.

However, there was no lack of real world examples where couples who got separated were able to rebuild their relationship once more. A contrast to what Rachel believed.

But how many of these couples were separated by a woman like Celine?

It would be a lie to claim the she didn't care at all. How many women wouldn't be jealous of their husbands' ex-girlfriends? Additionally, Jack had love Celine so deeply back then.

When Jack answered his phone and heard Eric's low voice, he knew that the mission was a complete failure.

Each time he thought that he was getting closer to Rachel, there was always something that would get in the way of their relationship and bring them back to square one.

In the past few years, Jack had convinced himself that he should move on.

And he had long thought that he was successful in convincing himself.

However, when he saw Rachel at the airport, it made him realize that his feelings for her never truly disappeared, but was only hidden deep in his heart.

And now, those feelings had returned to the forefront and were even stronger than before. He felt that he had to get back no matter what.

When he reached his office, Eric sighed and shook his head. Five minutes later, he picked up the ointment and threw it into the trash can.

Out of nowhere, a fair-skinned, slender hand reached into the trash bin and took out the ointment once more. She turned her head to Eric with a confused look. "Why did you throw it away, Eric? It doesn't look like it has ever been used before."

Eric turned to the source of the voice and was surprised to see that it was Zoe Huang from the executive department.

She was one of the most graceful girls in the company. Many of the male employees in the company had a crush on her. However, none of them had ever had a chance with her.
