Trapped In Lace

Rachel was stunned. How did the man know her name? "Do I know you?"

"Miss Shen, I am an executive officer in the cardiology department at the Affiliated No.1 Hospital. We would like you to come work at our hospital. I can assure you that you will be treated better than you are right now," the man introduced himself.

'Is he trying to make me switch jobs?'

Rachel thought, spitefully. Her eyes darted towards the gate of the hospital. Various colleagues and superiors breezed in and out.

It seemed that the person who had set her up hated her with every fiber of their being. Why else would they send this person to her while she was at the hospital? The person wanted Rachel's colleagues to believe that she was connected to the Affiliated No.1 Hospital.

She gave the man in front of her an icy stare and asked, "Who asked you to come here?"

"Miss Shen, I do not see the need to divulge that information. I just hope that you will at least think about it. Our conditions are better than this hospital. You are a smart person. You should know what would be the best for you." Without waiting for her to respond, he turned around and walked away. His steps were quick as he disappeared around the corner.

Rachel wanted to chase after him but thought better of it. She stared at the business card in her hand, clutching it tightly. Unlocking her phone, she opened the browser.

After some research, she dialed Jack's number. "

yet, have you? Take it with you," she urged, pushing the box in Jack's hands. Celine looked especially innocent in the white summer dress she wore as a lovely smile twitched the corners of her mouth.

But Jack didn't buy it anymore.

He twisted his cuff link, walked straight past her and stepped outside without a word. But his car did not start. There was something wrong with it.

The car had suddenly gone on strike.

He had no choice but to call the driver and have him pick him up. But before Jack could finish asking the driver, her car keys thrust in his hand.

Celine looked at him and smiled, "Jack, I drove here today. You can take my car."

Jack checked his watch. He had an appointment with an important customer today who had flown in from abroad. He absolutely had to meet this client to discuss cooperation for the next quarter.

He took the car keys from her and sat in. That was when he saw the business card.

It looked familiar. Realization dawned on him. The name on the card was of the man who had shown up at the hospital to find Rachel!

Jack held the business card out the window. In an icy tone he asked Celine, "Whose business card is this?"

"A friend of mine."

Celine tried to snatch it out of his hand, but he was smart enough to dodge her.

Jack sneered, his eyes sharp and cold. "A friend? Why didn't I know that you have a friend who works in a hospital? Celine, you have so many friends!"
