"No, it's fine."
Jack took out his handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the spilled contents carefully. "I'll change later."
Glancing at the empty coffee cup, then at the closed elevator, Austin couldn't help but sigh in relief. It seemed that he was lucky that his boss was in such a good mood.
If he wasn't, then he couldn't bring himself to imagine the results.
Jack opened the door and put down the key on the table. "Rachel?" he called out, only to hear silence.
"Did she go out again?"
Without thinking too much, he looked at the glaring stain on his shirt. He took off his suit and decided to take a shower first. Maybe she would come back soon.
At that moment, Rachel was sitting in the back seat and staring out the window indifferently. Nobody could tell what she was willing at this moment.
Lucas' voice sounded abruptly in the car. "Have you already made up your mind?"
She nodded.
"You know how I've been looking forward to the training."
Knowing how destroyed her relationship was with Jack, she knew that going abroad was her best option.
She'd be much better off in busying herself there than suffering here with him.
Her surroundings became more and more remote. Soon enough, she could already hear airplanes taking off as their engines echoed across the fields.
The airport was already nearby.

Henry helped her back away before he kicked the door.
He kicked it ten times before the door finally swung open.
The smell of alcohol and cigarette greeted them.
Jack was seen sitting on the floor and drinking the bottle of wine in a daze. Although he was muttering something, he couldn't say it clearer enough for them to understand him.
"What the hell is going on? Jack, where is Rachel?" Lea was about to walk in when Henry stopped her.
"The smell is too strong. Wait outside," he advised. "I'll go in and have a look."
Jack must've heard the noise out the door. He stood up hurriedly and turned around. "Rachel, are you back?"
His face darkened when he saw that it was Henry. "Why are you here?"
"What happened? Lea was so worried that she insisted that we come over."
"Rachel left."
Jack's shoulders trembled.
Although Rachel felt homesick after a few months being in France, she quickly suppressed it by adding more work into her schedule.
Every day, she would wake up at five in the morning to jog around the blog. After an hour, she would set off for school and begin her training.
The training was actually pretty intense.
Almost everyone was better than her when she first stepped in.
Due to this, she didn't really have much time to enjoy France as she stayed most of her time in the library or in her dorm to study.
