Stuck in you

Rachel was stunned. How did the man know her name? "Do I know you?"

"Miss Shen, I am an executive officer in the cardiology department at the Affiliated No.1 Hospital. We would like you to come work at our hospital. I can assure you that you will be treated better than you are right now," the man introduced himself.

'Is he trying to make me switch jobs?'

Rachel thought, spitefully. Her eyes darted towards the gate of the hospital. Various colleagues and superiors breezed in and out.

It seemed that the person who had set her up hated her with every fiber of their being. Why else would they send this person to her while she was at the hospital? The person wanted Rachel's colleagues to believe that she was connected to the Affiliated No.1 Hospital.

She gave the man in front of her an icy stare and asked, "Who asked you to come here?"

"Miss Shen, I do not see the need to divulge that information. I just hope that you will at least think about it. Our conditions are better than this hospital. You are a smart person. You should know what would be the best for you." Without waiting for her to respond, he turned around and walked away. His steps were quick as he disappeared around the corner.

Rachel wanted to chase after him but thought better of it. She stared at the business card in her hand, clutching it tightly. Unlocking her phone, she opened the browser.

After some research, she dialed Jack's number. "Jack, someone came to look for me and tried to make me quit this job for a new one. But, the business card he gave me wasn't his," she rambled, as soon as he picked up. "Something seems wrong."

It only meant that he was sent by someone.

Not far away, Celine sat in a black car.

She rolled down her window and threw out a handful of shells of melon seeds. "Is it done?" she asked, indifferently.

"It all went according to the plan, Miss Duan. I met her at the gate so I am sure many of her colleagues took notice."

The man speaking was the one who was going to poach Rachel.

Celine smirked, content. "Good. I'll transfer the money to your account tomorrow, but you have to remember that you can't tell anyone what happened today!"'

"You do not have to worry, Miss Duan. We maintain the confidentiality of our guests," he said, smiling. He motioned to his lips as if he was zipping them. Waving at her, the man got out of the car and walked away.

It was very quiet in the car now. Only the soft hum of the air conditioning could be heard. Celine leaned back in her seat, smiling. She hoped that it would not be long before Rachel would be even more humiliated.

"Achoo!"

Rachel blew her nose. 'Why did I catch a cold again?' she thought, miserably.
