Chapter 138 Unable To Explain

Lea went to the refrigerator and got two bottles of mineral water. She put one bottle in front of Rachel before opening the remaining bottle in her hand. She then tossed her beautiful curly hair and drank the water immediately.

She was so furious that she needed iced water to calm down.

After draining the bottle in half, she felt a little better.

She put the bottle on the table and sat down on the sofa. Then she asked Rachel, "What's going on between you and Jack?"

Rachel was about to say something in the car earlier but Lea interrupted her. Now, Lea was giving her a chance to speak.

"Calm down first, then I'll explain everything to you," answered Rachel.

Lea raised her chin and asked, "Don't I look calm?" She paused for a while, waiting for Rachel's reaction. When Rachel looked at her, she cleared her throat and continued, "Go ahead."

Rachel fell silent for a while. Apparently, she didn't know where to start. Lea urged her in a low voice, "Why don't you speak up? What the hell is going on?"

"Jack and I... There's nothing...

There's nothing between us," Rachel stammered. "Nothing? Do you think I'm blind? He kissed you. And now you're telling me that there's nothing going on between you?"

"It was just a kiss." Rachel blushed so she turned her head to the other side to hide it. "Nothing else."

"Do you like him?" asked Lea seriously, her face looked sullen.

Rachel was shocked with the question.

on and then called again.

After hanging up, Jack cleaned up his desk and adjusted his clothes. He stood up and took a few steps towards the door.

All of a sudden, his phone vibrated. He subconsciously stopped and took it out. When he checked it, it was just a trash message.

With a frown, he blacklisted the number immediately.

He looked at his phone again and stood in front of the door for a moment. Who had ever seen him like this?

He hesitated for a long time. He couldn't decide whether to make a call or not. He had never acted this way before even with the big projects he had handled.

Making a call put him in a dilemma. It was just a call. Why was he so afraid?

Facing the door, he took a deep breath. Decisively, he looked for Rachel's phone number and pressed the call button. The moment it rang, he became very nervous.

The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.

Jack put his phone away, thinking about calling again later, and opened the door. His secretary immediately stood up upon seeing him.

He wondered why Rachel's friend changed her attitude towards him all of a sudden.

Something seemed to be wrong. It was already difficult to make some progress on Rachel and now, things were getting worse.

Jack had tried so hard to win Rachel's heart and he couldn't allow her to repel on him again just because of Lea's attitude. He knew how influential Lea was to Rachel so he must do something.
