Chapter 214 - Tag Along

"Sam, let me know when they come, till then I will look into my presentation, once everything falls into the place we can start our presentation"

"Sure Rach"

After a few minutes, Jessica and her team joined them and Rachel already made arrangements in her office to accommodate them.

Rachel and her team welcomed them, then they went to the conference room, had a long meeting and discussion on how to go on about the project.

After a few hours Rachel showed them the new floor she prepared for Jessica and her team where she arranged a new office for her.

Jessica was surprised to see her new office and especially the design as it was according to her taste she was touched by Rachel's gesture, "Rachel, to be honest I didn't expect this, you have arranged this office exactly to my taste, thank you so much and how did you manage to arrange it so quickly?" 

Rachel smiled in satisfaction as she could see how happy Jessica really was. She was glad to make this decision.

"All credits go to Sam, I contacted the same designer Daniel hired to redo your room. Jimmy gave us some inputs and we were able to manage this"

"I'll thank him for his efforts, you really have an amazing assistant"

"True"

The two then continued to work for the entire day as they had to set everything in motion.

After they were done with work, Jessica was about to head to Daniel's place and Rachel to hers.

"You're not coming to Danny's house?" Jessica asked her.

"No, you guys have fun" Rachel wanted to give them some privacy.

"But he would be going to Ireland for the week, don't you want to spend more time with him?" Jessica sensed Rachel's mood was off.

"Yeah, I know…" Rachel got upset remembering this.

The whole day she tried to keep herself distracted with work so that she doesn't get upset about Daniel going as it was his job.

"Rach, why are you sad?" Jessica laughed as Rachel looked like a child whose ice-cream was taken away.

"To be honest Jessica, I have been spending way too much time with Daniel these days so I am sad he would be gone for almost a week"

"Then come home with me" 

"No, I should get used to it. He is a doctor and he might have to travel like this, I can't get upset all the time"

"God Rach, you don't have to get used to it. How about you too go with him to Ireland? It can be a good rehearsal before your actual honeymoon" Jessica winked at her and laughed.

Rachel glared at her.

Jessica laughed harder as she enjoyed annoying Rachel.

"Don't joke and I can't go now, we just started this project…"

"So what? I and Sam are here, we can manage without you. Also, our teams would be doing most of the work now. You and me are done with ours" 

"Are you sure?" Rachel was still hesitant.

"Of course, don't worry, and we anyway have to manage only for two days, so it is fine. Go and have your sexy honeymoon with your boyfriend" Jessica teased her.

Rachel turned embarrassed and blushed, "Can you please not talk like that?"

Jessica laughed harder seeing Rachel's state.

"But Jessica, I need to ask Daniel too. What if he minds me joining him?" 

"Why would he mind?"

"He might want his space and what if he thinks of me as a clingy girlfriend?" Rachel shared her concern.

Jessica rolled her eyes, "Dude, he will be very happy if you go with him"

"No, I'll ask him first" Rachel was firm on her decision.

"Fine, ask him" Jessica folded her hands and pointed at Rachel's phone.

"What? Now?"

"Yes bro"

Rachel called Daniel, who quickly answered his phone.

"Is my girlfriend already missing me?" He teased her.

"Were you not busy?"

"Nope, that's why I was able to answer so soon"

"Okay"

"What happened?" 

"Actually, I wanted to ask you something" Rachel was hesitating and Jessica helplessly shook her head.

"It seems like you are talking to your boss not your boyfriend" Jessica muttered.

"Yeah, what happened?"

"Daniel, will you mind if I tag along with you to Ireland?" Rachel didn't want to sound like a clingy girlfriend but she really wanted to go on a trip with him.

Daniel was surprised by her suggestion, "Wow, that would be awesome, why would I mind?"

"Dan, you can say no if you don't want me to come"

"Rachel, I would love it if you will come but when I'll be at the hospital, you might get bored but don't worry I won't be gone for long"

"You really won't mind me coming?"

"Why would I?"

"You might want some space?"

Daniel chuckled, "I got a lot of space before I met you, it's okay, I don't need it."

"Okay then, I'll come with you" Rachel excitedly announced.

"Good you came up with this suggestion, I am so used to your presence, I was not willing to part from you but this patient needs this surgery"

"Praise Jessica, not me, she suggested it and she even volunteered to take care of our project" Rachel honestly told him and Jessica patted herself.

"Didn't I tell you, Jessica should be the last person you need to feel insecure around"

"You were right" 

Just then Daniel was called so he had to cut the call and go to his patient.

Rachel smiled at Jessica, "He was happy with this idea"

"Obviously he would be. Which guy would say no to sex"

Rachel widened her eyes at Jessica and her mouth was left open in surprise.

"What? Why are you so shocked?"

"No… Nothing"

Rachel suddenly turned nervous and Jessica was confused for a moment but then she recollected the night of the party.

During that time she found out Rachel and Daniel still didn't do it.

"Wait, you guys still didn't have sex, right?"
