Trapped In Lace

Eric scratched his head and sighed. "Rachel, can't you even say something nice to make me feel better?'

Rachel smiled and answered, "No."

Eric's mouth twitched as he thought inwardly, 'How cruel!'

After seeing Eric off, Rachel stood in front of the elevator for a while.

She thought for a moment before she turned around and went back.

While walking back to the apartment, she suddenly stopped and slapped her forehead. She had totally forgotten Lucas! It had been a good long while since the last time she saw him.

When Rachel got home, she immediately looked for the letter that James sent her.

She had told James before that she would think about his offer to go abroad for further education. But that was already a month ago.

Since James had not reminded her about it, it also slipped her mind.

Rachel was still looking for the letter when Jack entered the room. He couldn't help asking, "What are you looking for?"

She was stunned for a moment, but as soon as she came back to her senses, she turned around and asked him, "Have you seen a folder with the hospital's name on it?"

Jack thought for a while then answered, "I think it's in the study."

Rachel stood up immediately. "Where is it? I need it."

"I'll get it for you," Jack offered. He then turned around and walked out of the room. Rachel followed him quickly.

It didn't take long for Jack to find the folder. As soon as he handed it to Rachel, she checked eve

ild who didn't want to go to school alone and begging for his mother to go with him.

Rachel shook her head immediately. She didn't know why she had such an imagination.

She softened her voice and said to Jack, "You go now. Anyway, it's a business meeting right?"

Jack felt a little disappointed because his attempt to lure his wife failed. He slowly drew his hand and head back and said, "Then I'll go now."

"Okay," Rachel replied.

"Don't wait for me. I'll be home very late." It was already almost eleven o'clock, so obviously he couldn't come home early.

"I know." Rachel grew a little impatient.

After pondering for a while, Jack said between clenched teeth, "How can you trust me to go out alone so late?"

Rachel looked at him strangely and asked, "Why not?" She thought that Jack wasn't a kid anymore. He was old enough to take care of himself. Why did she have to worry about him?

But Jack looked disappointed. "Rachel, you..."

He stopped talking midway.

They had been talking at the door for more than ten minutes, so Rachel didn't know what else he wanted to say.

"What?" she asked confusedly.

"Nothing. Just have a good sleep. I will try to come home immediately." Jack then waved his hand and turned around.

Rachel was about to tell him not to drink too much, but he was gone too quickly.

She was about to call him, but she changed her mind.

Jack was in a hurry to leave, so she wouldn't bother him anymore.
