Stuck in you

Hearing his taunt-filled words, Rachel blushed and said, "I won't do that again. This is the last time."

"Okay. Put down the note. I'll sign it later." The director raised his hand and knocked on the desk. This signified that he was done speaking. However, just when Rachel turned around to leave, he called her back. Pretending like something urgent had come up, he said, "By the way, there is an exchange meeting in Brookmount City next week. I planned to go there myself, but with my packed schedule, I can't manage it."

She clearly knew he was lying.

He was just lazy to attend it. Even though she despised him with all her heart, she nodded her head and said, "I'm free next week. I am more than willing to fill the slot."

He always got his way. He was aware Rachel wasn't the type of girl who would refuse to anything. Hence he constantly took advantage of her, overworking her.

"Okay, that's good."

Once she was out of his sight, Rachel rolled her eyes. Like a deflated balloon, she sat on her work chair and texted Jack. Then she tidied up the medical records scattered on the table. By the time she was done, Jack was there.

As soon as she got into the car, she began to complain profusely. "Thanks to you, I went to ask for leave and now I am stuck with an exchange meeting in Brookmount City next week." Disappointment was evident in her tone.

"How long?" Jack asked.

She shook her head and said, "I don't know yet. I haven't seen the meeting agenda."

Seeing the depressed look on her face, Jack raised his hand and gently rubbed her head. With a smile, he suggested, "I happen to have nothing to do in the coming next week. How about I accompany you?"

His words instantly lit her up. Meetings were dreadfully boring when done alone. But it would be different if Jack was with her. In fact, it would look more like a vacation!

In the past, she didn't mind spending time alone. She would fill her spare time with books and other activities. Ever since Jack came to her life, the thought of being separated brought sorrow to her heart. Knowing he would be with her, her heart was overcome by happiness.

She had read about lovers wanting to spend all their time together. Back then it made no sense. However now that she was experiencing it, she realized it was all true. Two people who loved each other deeply indeed wished to be together all the time.

After the two of them reached home, they got changed and drove to the hotel. Once the arrived, their eyes scanned the parking areas. All kinds of cars were parked. It took them a couple of minutes to find an empty spot. Jack took Rachel's hand and got out of the car. He carefully fixed her hair which seemed to have gotten messy due to the wind. "Let's go in," he said and they both entered.

The bride's name was Jenny Zhou, and her father, Edmund Zhou, was JX Group's CEO. In the evening, besides the new couple's friends, most of guests were his business partners. Rachel caught sight of some familiar faces that she had seen in other banquets.
