Stuck in you

Chapter 467 Being Absent-minded All Night

"Come on!" When Rachel passed by her colleague, she reached out and gently patted her colleague's shoulder. Although there was a smile at the corners of her mouth, Rachel had an indescribable feeling in her heart.

She was disappointed, and a little angry.

Even if Jack had something to do and couldn't keep his promise, he couldn't even make a phone call or send a message!

Julie had just had a casual dinner and was cleaning up the table in the kitchen. When she heard the sound from the door, she quickly took off her gloves and walked out. She was surprised to see that Rachel came in alone. "Miss, didn't you come back with Mr. Jack?"

These days, since Jack moved back, the two of them went out and came back together every day.

All of a sudden, Julie only saw Rachel come back from outside. She was a little unaccustomed to it.

Putting her bag on the sofa, Rachel said in a low voice, "Julie, Is there anything else in the fridge?"

"Yes, Miss. You haven't had dinner yet?" The smile at the corners of Julie's mouth immediately disappeared. She didn't know if she was too sensitive, because she always felt that Rachel looked a little unhappy today. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

As she walked towards the kitchen, Rachel said in a low voice, "I'm a little hungry. I want to cook some noodles."

"Let me do it." Julie reached out to take the egg in her hand, but she was stopped by Rachel, who smiled and said, "No, thanks. I can cook it myself."

She wanted to find something to do, only in this way could she calm down, and did not think why Jack didn't come to pick up her.

When she came in, she had a look at the vestibule and knew that Jack hadn't come back yet.

Rachel cooked a bowl of noodles casually, but she didn't have any appetite. But thinking of the baby in her belly, she still ate the whole night. Then she went back to her room and cleaned up simply.

Lying on the bed, although Rachel had a parenting book in her hand, she didn't turn a page for a long time. All her attention was on the outside. She wanted to hear if there was any sound of a car outside and see if Jack had come back.

However, it was not until twelve o'clock in the evening that Rachel felt her eyelids hanging heavily. She did not wait for Jack to come back.

The second morning, when Rachel sat down at the table, Julie brought the fried poached egg to her and asked, "Miss, Mr. Jack didn't come back last night. Is there anything wrong in the company?"

"He didn't come back home last night?" Rachel repeated.

Rachel waited too late last night, so she couldn't get up this morning and stayed in bed for a few minutes. When she really woke up, all she thought about was that she was about to be late for work and forgot about Jack.

Now, when Julie suddenly asked her, the fact that she was abandoned yesterday and Jack's phone was turned off gradually came back to her mind. Rachel shook her lips and said, "I don't know. Maybe he is too busy with business."

In the hospital, Rachel sat on the chair with her chin resting on her hands. Her phone was on the table, and the screen was turned on for a few seconds and then it went black.

Rachel didn't know how many times she had repeated such an action. She hesitated in her heart and didn't know if she should call Jack again to ask him about it.

She was worried about Jack, but she was more afraid that it would be another strange woman who answered the phone?

At this time, the door of the office was pushed open from the outside. Seeing that Rachel was absent- minded, the Director of the executive department coughed heavily and said seriously, "Don't be absent- minded during working hours!"

Hearing that, Rachel came back to her senses. She pretended to be very busy, flipped through the documents on the table and asked in a low voice, "Director, what can I do for you?"

"I've been looking for you on the Internet for a long time, but you didn't respond at all? I have to come to you in person? You are really a big shot now." Director said impatiently.

As Rachel moved the mouse, the screen of the computer also lit up. She looked down and saw that the social software was constantly flickering. She opened it and found that Director had indeed sent more than a dozen messages to her. But at that time, she was full of thought about calling Jack, so naturally she did not notice the messages.

She forced a smile and made up an excuse, "My net just broke and I received it now. Director, what can I do for you?"

"Here you are." The Director threw the key in her hand directly in front of Rachel and said coldly, "I have something to deal with. There is a meeting in the hospital later. You attend it on behalf me. There is a document on my desk. It's beside the land phone. You can take it to the meeting room and give it to the executive."

"Okay, I see." After putting the key into the drawer and watching the Director leaving, Rachel thought for a while and dialed Jack's number.

This time, the phone was connected, but after waiting for a long time, no one answered. In the end, the phone was directly hung up.

Rachel took a deep breath. Since his phone was powered on and could be turned on again, it meant that at least he was safe.

But he should receive a message when he turned on his phone, telling him that she had called him, but Jack did not call back, nor did he reply to a message. 'Could it be?' A bitter smile appeared on Rachel's face. It seemed that what she thought was right. If you try to believe what a man said, the sow would probably climb the tree.

After a few minutes of silence, Rachel took a look at her watch, stood up and went to the Director's office. As she said, Rachel took the documents and walked into the meeting room.

Rachel had no idea about what this meeting was about until she sat in the meeting room and looked through the meeting agenda that had just been issued. It turned out that this meeting was mainly about the hospital's anniversary.

With a straight face, the executive, who was sitting at the head of the table, said seriously, "This anniversary ceremony is not only to give our hospital a chance to publicize, but also to hold a unveiling ceremony for the charity established by our hospital. So, we can't make any mistake this time."

"We know it and the preparation is on the way." The man sitting on the right hand of director Zhou immediately echoed, "our public relations department has already chosen the site and the layout of the site."

"Our publicity department is also preparing for some advertising activities at the scene."

Everyone began to talk about what they had done in this department in order to make a face familiar to the executive.

Rachel had never heard the Director mention this before. Now that everyone had almost finished talking, she was the only one left. For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on her.

She quickly opened the document taken from the desk of the Director and found that it was a guest list. She breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "The guest list has been prepared by our executive department."

"Have you brought it?" The executive winked at his assistant.

The assistant stood up in a hurry. Rachel closed the file in her hand again and handed it to the assistant.

However, after a while, the executive suddenly smashed the documents in his hands heavily on the conference table, and his face suddenly darkened. "I have said that this anniversary ceremony is not as usual, and the guest list must be careful, but obviously, your department directly ignored my words! Everyone present must have heard about the gossip about the CEO of the CX Group? If we invite him here, shall we hold the unveiling ceremony?"

Although the executive of the hospital was like the parents of Rachel in private, he was always meticulous at work. Now he didn't show any mercy when he scolded others.

Hearing that, Rachel was a little confused. The Director of the public relations department also echoed, "The executive indeed mentioned that this person couldn't attend the anniversary celebration of our hospital. Didn't you hear it last time or didn't you change it directly?"

On the surface, he was defending for Rachel, but the responsibilities were directly pressed on the executive department. Once she agreed, it was sure that she did not listen carefully last time, or that they did not take the executive's words seriously.

After a few seconds of silence, she said slowly, "Executive, I'm here to attend this meeting on behalf of our Director. Maybe I took the wrong document from her desk. I'll ask her again after the meeting."

Hearing this explanation, the executive's face softened a little, but he still frowned tightly. He waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Ask your Director to send the documents to my office by herself!"

"Okay, I see."

Rachel lowered her head. After a while, the meeting was finally over. She breathed a sigh of relief.

When Rachel returned to the executive department, she saw that the Director, who had just gone out, was sitting in the office again, humming a tune in her throat, as if she was in a good mood.

She walked forward and put the crumpled document in front of the Director. With a serious look on her face, she said, "Director, this is the list of anniversary celebration. The executive has just pointed out and criticized it at the meeting."

"Criticized? For what?" Director's face changed slightly and returned to normal a moment later.

Rachel said, "The CX Group shouldn't be on the guest list. Now the executive asked you to prepare a new list and send it to his office in person."

Her tone was so calm that the Director only felt that she was taking pleasure in other people's misfortune. All of a sudden, she felt a little angry and became more and more impolite. He said coldly, "What do you mean by asking me to prepare another one? Didn't I ask you to do it before? You can't complete the task by yourself now, so you put all the blame on me?"
