Hearing her deduction, Jack was speechless. Of course. How could he have forgotten about it?
It was the time he had stopped Eric from meddling with Henry's personal affairs.
It seemed that he had dug himself a deeper hole at this rate, but he held his composure.
"Well," he started in an effort to smooth things over. "I forgot about it."
Fortunately, Rachel didn't get to the bottom of his little slip-up.
Instead, she loosened her grip around her arms and subconsciously licked her lips. "So, do you know what's going on between them?"
It turned out that she didn't know he had told Henry where she and Lea were. At the thought, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh, um..." Actually, he didn't know what was going on between them either.
He only knew that Henry had been in a pretty bad mood recently. He did hear from Marcus that the man had been fighting with his girlfriend, thought.
That meant...he was fighting with Lea.
It was thanks to Marcus' latest gossip that he was finally able to answer her question.
"All I've heard was that they got into a fight. Did something happen?" In order to keep the spotlight off him, he changed the topi
ead.
He knew for a fact that Henry's secrets weren't his to tell.
"Nothing," he said. "Henry's my friend, so of course he's a good man in my eyes. We have plenty of time either way. I'm sure we can see whether or not he'll love her. If you don't like him, you can ask Lea to break up with him, right?"
He inched closer to her, letting his arms wander around her skin.
Rachel frowned and crossed her arms.
"You know that it's not up to me."
"You're right, so why don't we just let them deal with their own problems? I want to discuss something with you."
She raised her head. "What are you trying to say?"
"I'll be going to Mosa City in two days on a tour of investigation.
We want to build a holiday resort there. Would you like to go with me?"
Rachel pursed her lips, finding the city quite familiar.
"It's a famous tourist spot," he reminded as if he could read her mind.
"Oh, I remember it now.
Mosa City is an ancient city.
A resort? In an ancient city?"
Was that even allowed? The buildings in the ancient city were well-protected. Plus, it served as a tourist destination. Would the government allow them to build a resort there?
