Trapped In Lace

Before the meeting was begun, Jack closed all the curtains in the room. The room darkened immediately.

The projector was turned on. The host made a few adjustments and an image appeared on the screen.

In a few seconds, he briefly stated the theme of the meeting before starting off by showing the statistics.

Jack wasn't the host of the meeting. instead, he sat and listened to the statistics being shown on the screen, holding different types of documents.

He had prepared some fruits and desserts for Rachel, because he didn't want her to be bored. This was the meeting about Mosa City the they would be visiting.

However, the meeting was actually very interesting. Rachel found herself paying attention from time to time, not bothering to eat the fruits and desserts in front of her.

In the hospital, Lea and Henry were at the edge of their seats. When her name was called, he immediately stood up and reached out his hand to assist her.

He was met with a push. "My stomach hurts. That doesn't mean I'm not able to walk," she said bluntly.

Without another word, he let her go.

Originally, he wanted to arrange an expert to meet her, but she rejected him with full sarcasm. At last, she relented and decided to queue up to meet the doctor.

The doctor they were ab

uncomfortable with him doing this all the time.

She remembered all the couples she had seen in the hospital. The girls would usually sit on their boyfriends' lap as they waited to be fed. The mere act made her sick in the stomach.

Seeing her hesitation, he furrowed his eyebrows. "You don't like it?"

"No."

"I won't do it again then," he said firmly.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel sorry for Jack. After all, the man was trying to be nice. "I have hands. It's really fine," she added, implying that she could take care of herself.

Jack was not a stubborn man. He quickly backed down from the tactic and smiled. "Are you bored?"

It was incredibly boring here. Although he had documents to file, she couldn't possibly do anything in his office.

She hesitated for a while and nodded. He grinned. "Why don't we go somewhere?"

"Where?"

"Wherever."

He quickly packed his things and walked out with her. It was still early anyway, so they wandered around the city. After buying a few things, they headed towards the outskirts of the city.

"Where are we going?" she asked curiously.

"Let's take a walk." While controlling the steering wheel, he stretched his hands and twisted his neck. "I've been busy recently, so let's go and get some fresh air."
