Stuck in you

"Okay. Thank you."

Rachel put the business card in her bag and took her car keys from the receptionist. She was walking to her car when she saw a red sports car enter the shop's gate and approach her. She froze in shock. A screeching sound reverberated the shop, and the vehicle suddenly stopped just about ten centimeters away from her.

Even the receptionist was startled. She hurriedly came to Rachel and asked, "Miss, are you okay?"

Rachel shook her head. Although she looked calm on the outside, her heart was beating abnormally fast. The door to the driver seat opened, and Eden, Marcus' nominal fiancee, got out of the car.

The receptionist seemed to know Eden because she bent over to Rachel and whispered, "Miss, I'm so sorry. Miss Chen is actually a very kind person. I don't know what's wrong with her today. She seems to be in a bad mood."

"It's alright,"

Rachel responded faintly and continued walking to her car. She heard the receptionist behind her ask, "Miss Chen, how may I help you today?"

"I need my car to be checked. The engine is a little noisy when I start it."

"Our shop is already closed today, and all the mechanics have already left. I'm afraid we need to wait until tomorrow for your car to be checked."

"Call them back immediately!"

Eden's voice was unusually sharp. Although Rachel didn't know her personally, she could feel that she was in a bad mood.

For a woman like her, who had just announced her wedding to the public, it was strange to be so irritable. Rachel could only think of one reason why.

Rachel's car just stopped in the garage when Jack pulled in beside her car. She was about to say something when he suddenly said with a smile, "Tell me the truth, what did you and Lea do secretly?"

"What?" she asked.

Her brows creased as she looked at him confusedly.

Jack put his hand around her shoulder, and they walked towards the elevator together. "Marcus called me this afternoon and told me that the Chen family canceled their wedding. Larry has no choice but to agree. I think the issue was resolved temporarily."

"Really?" she asked. "No wonder she was in a bad temper."

He lowered his head and asked, "Who was in a bad temper?"

Her lips curved into a victorious smile, but she didn't say anything.

The next day was Saturday, so Jack and Rachel didn't wake up early. They were still sleeping soundly when her phone suddenly rang.

She fumbled for her phone under the pillow and answered vaguely, "Hello?"
