Trapped In Lace

The host was right. The rain stopped before noon.

But when Rachel walked out of the conference room, the sky was still overcast.

It seemed that it would rain again at any time. Rachel had nothing to do, so she was thinking about whether to take a walk around or go back to the hotel and rest.

Since it might rain again, she decided to choose the latter. After all, she had no plan of strolling around under the rain.

On the other hand, Holley didn't hold back. She had already planned everything before coming here, so she wouldn't want to miss the opportunity to explore the place despite the bad weather.

Holley invited Rachel, but since they were not familiar with each other yet, Rachel didn't feel comfortable being with her. She felt like they had different personalities, so she would rather walk around by herself than be with her.

So while Rachel had decided to go back to the hotel, Holley and the others discussed where to go.

Rachel and Holley were going to live in the same hotel room, so she planned to said goodbye to Holley before she went to the hotel. However, Holley was busy talking with the others and didn't notice her.

She thought it wasn't necessary to bother them, so she turned to go to the elevator. But after taking a few steps, Holley asked, "Rachel, would you like to go with us?"

Rachel stopped and turned around. She shook her head and refused politely with a smile. "No, thanks. It might rain again, so I'll

"I'm back home. I didn't drink."

Seeing his message, Rachel felt relieved.

She couldn't deny the fact that she was still worried about Jack.

'Why should I care? It doesn't matter, anyway,' she thought.

Rachel was about to close her eyes when her phone rang. Feeling annoyed, she sat up and took it.

She angrily looked at the screen and saw Jack's name.

Without a second thought, she removed her phone's battery and put it in her bag.

Finally, she was able to sleep well. She had even forgotten her plan to call Holley.

It was already almost dawn, so she was really sleepy.

However, tonight seemed to be a sleepless night for her.

At four o'clock, Rachel was awakened again. She heard some giggling and laughing voices inside the room.

She wasn't sure if Holley had come back already, but she could hear two distinct voices.

The sound was coming from the other bed, and it was loud enough to awaken anyone.

Aside from the laughter, she could also smell alcohol in the air. Rachel was about to sit up when she heard some moans from the other bed. Her body stiffened.

Didn't they know that there was another person in the room?

The moans and kisses sounded wild. Rachel felt embarrassed, so she called out, "Holley?"

There was no reply. It was either her voice was too low, or Holley was too absorbed in what she was doing.

Rachel suddenly got out of the bed and turned on the light.
