Trapped In Lace

Rachel gently patted Mendes on his head and said, "Mendes, you may go back to your ward now. Come back a little later okay?"

Taking a glance at Rachel and then at Jack, Mendes nodded his head. Without a word, he left the room.

"What do you want to know?" Jack asked as he raised his eyebrow in a cocky manner.

"Jack!" Rachel no longer wanted to be continuously played around by the man in front of her. Her cold face was filled with anger, and was tinged with hatred for him. "How can you be so shameless?" she hissed.

"Shameless?" he repeated and flashed a smile. "Sorry, I'm not shameless at all. I just wanted you to do me a little favor."

Rachel thought this man couldn't get any more shameless, but he had. How could he be so thick skinned to say this?

In the past few days, Jack had been stressing that if there was something wrong with her, he wouldn't explain it to his father. Was he being sarcastic or serious?

Rachel let out an angry sigh. "How did you predict what would happen to me?"

Jack didn't answer immediately. His long eyelashes drooped and a shadow appeared in his eyes as he shifted from playful to serious. He tapped his knees with his fingers.

Seeing that he didn't answer her, Rachel's heart dropped to her stomach. She became angrier at once and her voice was almost squeezed out of her teeth. "Jack! Fu" she bellowed. "You've gone too far!"

He used her to lure Hiram out without even caring about her safety at all. If something went wrong, her life would be ended!

Jack smoked a last puff before he put out his cigarette and walked towards Rachel. Standing on the second step, Rachel could only look into his eyes.

"Why are you here?" Jack asked her in confusion. He stared into her eyes and got greeted with a cold gaze.

"Of course I have to come here. I can't accept that I was used as a bait and then thrown away."

Facing her harsh tone, Jack was speechless for a moment. He thought of the question that Michael had asked him. If it were Celine, would he be willing to use her as a bait to provoke the other party?

After thinking about this for a while, Jack felt that there was something wrong. He thought he didn't explain it to Rachel clearly. "Even if they took you away yesterday, they wouldn't dare do anything to you."

Hearing this, Rachel chuckled mockingly. "I mean it. Just stay away from me, okay?"

She walked straight past him, not sparing a glance. Two days ago when she asked Jack what his purpose was, he replied that she was thinking too much.

Knowing that she was like an idiot being used by him, Rachel was full of anger. The more she walked, the more her pent up anger consumed her. Her fury started to overflow, but there was no way to vent it.

'Revenge on Jack?' she thought. Rachel stopped and turned around. She took a deep breath and called the man from afar. "Jack!"

He turned around and saw Rachel staring at him. He put one hand in his pocket and asked, "What?"
