Chapter 240 Be Woken Up

Jack raised his head and looked upstairs. Then, he began walking up.

At the same time, Rachel arrived at the hospital exactly ten minutes before they were scheduled to leave.

When she arrived, the supervisor was taking attendance and arranging everyone who was taking part in the conference and training.

After greeting each other, they all got into the private bus and headed straight to the airport. They were scheduled to arrive in the neighboring province at 9 am.

On the way, Rachel idly looked down at her phone, wondering if Eric would wreck her house while she was gone.

Just as she checked the time and was about to turn off the screen, she received a text message.

Rachel's heart skipped a beat in anticipation, but when she saw that it was just a promotional message, she frowned in disappointment.

What had she been looking forward to, anyway?

Seeing that one of her colleagues was coming to talk to her, she turned off the phone and raised her head to chat with that person.

The truth was, Rachel had forgotten that she had blocked Jack's number that day.

Since his number was in her blacklist, she wouldn't receive calls or messages from him even if he tried to contact her.

Meanwhile, at Rachel's house, Eric was very sleepy after taking a shower.

He threw his bath towel down, slumped into the bed, and fell asleep in less than a minute.

When Jack reached the landing of the second floor,

he heard loud snoring coming from one of the rooms.

For a few moments, he froze, feeling as if his

achel had already arrived at the airport and was waiting to board the plane.

She glanced at her watch and frowned in confusion. "Didn't you go to bed?"

"Yes, but a dog barking woke me up." He lied through his teeth and threw a challenging glance at Jack.

But Jack just stared back indifferently. Then, he reached out, signaling for Eric to hand over the phone to him.

However, Eric was unwilling to cooperate with him. He pretended not to see Jack and asked, "Anyway, where are you now?"

"I will cross the security check in ten minutes. What's wrong? Why did you call me?"

"Nothing, nothing. I just wanted to talk to you."

Jack's eyes darkened a little, but Eric continued fearlessly, "By the way, is there anything wrong with your mobile phone?"

Rachel didn't understand why Eric was asking her such random questions and had half a mind to tell him to hang up and go to bed.

Nevertheless, she answered, "No, there's nothing wrong with my phone. What's the matter?"

Eric held the phone in front of Jack so that the latter could clearly hear Rachel's answer.

Unexpectedly, Jack snatched the phone away from him!

Suddenly, Rachel heard Eric say, "Give it back to me!" "What did you say?" she asked suspiciously.

'What's going on with him?' she wondered.

As soon as Jack got his hands on the phone, he stood up from the chair and rushed outside. Eric immediately rushed after him, but Jack slammed the door close and locked him inside the room.

He angrily pounded at the door and asked Jack to let him out.
