Stuck in you

Chapter 341 Wait Patiently

The director patted his protruding belly and smirked. "It's great of you to think so!" he praised. "Go home and pack your stuff. You can leave for the airport later in the afternoon."

After packing up her clothes and toiletries, Rachel boarded the flight to the capital city. What she didn't know that at the same time, Jack had just returned to her apartment. When he got to the bathroom, he noticed that all of her things were gone.

The memories of what had happened three years ago resurfaced in his mind.

His shoulders shook faintly as he blinked rapidly. "No. It can't be," he murmured to himself.

'She wouldn't leave again, would she?'

His hands trembled as he picked up his phone and dialed her number, only to find that her phone was powered off.

At that moment, Jack was overwhelmed with misery. His hair was a messed as he paced back and forth across the living room. He dialed the number again and again. When the call was finally connected, his eyes were moist and his voice was weak. "Where have you been?" he rasped out.

The airport was noisy, so she couldn't hear it clearly. She simply guessed what he was trying to say and replied,

"I'm on a business trip. I'll be back the day after tomorrow."

Jack leaned against the wall as his shoulders sagged in relief. He could feel his heart rate slowing down upon knowing where she was. "Why didn't you tell me?" he demanded shakily.

"I stuck a note on the fridge. Didn't you see it?"

He glanced at the piece of paper stuck on the fridge door. He flushed once she hung up on him. It seemed that he had been so worried that he overlooked the paper on the fridge.

He called Austin and asked him to book him a flight to the capital city too.

Something rustled from the other end of the line. After a few minutes, Austin said awkwardly, "Mr. Fu, you have dinner reservations to discuss the partnership Mr. the Zhang. If you aren't there, I'm afraid..."

Jack knew what he meant.

The dinner to be held tomorrow night was not only arranged for him and Mr. Zhang, but also for other businessmen. If he wasn't there, the others might use the chance to poach his business partner.

He tightened his grip on his phone and closed his eyes. He took a deep breath and thought it over. When he opened his eyes once again, the uneasiness in his gaze was gone.

"All right. Forget I said anything," he said calmly. "The schedule will go as planned."
