Stuck in you

Rachel cleared her throat and continued with her unfinished presentation as if nothing had happened. But because of this incident, the others couldn't help doubting her professional ability.

As a result, when all of them gathered to plan a dinner after the meeting, no one approached her. They had decided to go to a small restaurant nearby, but nobody asked her to join.

Fortunately, she wasn't also interested in joining them, so she didn't care about their attitude towards her. She quietly packed up her things and was about to leave. She planned to go back to the hotel and order a take-out.

All of a sudden, a petite woman came to her and said in a sweet voice, "Dr. Shen, we are going to have dinner later. Would you like to come with us?"

"No, thanks. I have something else to do later. Have a good time," she refused with a smile. She noticed that they stopped talking to each other

and looked at her in disdain.

Rachel smiled at the woman again and walked out of the meeting room. But she was still able to hear them questioning the woman.

"Why do you have to invite her?"

"Yes. She looks so arrogant and not easy to get along with. Imagine, she stopped halfway of her presentation to look at her phone, but she didn't even apologize. If she joins us later, she'll only ruin the atmosphere."

Before she entered the elevator, she heard the woman defended her, "You are all overreacting."

'She's right. Was it really a big deal?' Rachel thought. She had actually wanted to ask them but eventually decided to let it pass. After all, they were all just strangers to her, and she would only spend a week with them. She didn't need to waste her energy in considering their feelings. She'd better focus herself on thinking about how to coax Jack.

"Miss, are you awake now? How do you feel?"

A clear female voice broke the silence. Rachel slowly opened her eyes and saw a strange face.

A woman wearing a nurse uniform was frowning slightly and staring at her unblinkingly. When she did not respond, she asked again, "Miss, do you feel uncomfortable?"

"No, I don't," she answered.

When Rachel spoke, her throat felt uncomfortable, and her voice sounded hoarse. She looked around and realized that she was in the hospital at the moment.

She got confused. Why was she lying in a hospital bed now? She was supposed to be in her hotel room.

All of a sudden, she felt a faint pain at the back of her neck.
