Chapter 309 I Couldn't Control Myself

"I'm a little tired."

Rachel massaged her temples while her eyes were closed. "Can we leave now? I still have to go to work tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll go and say goodbye to the host. Just sit here and wait for me."

Jack never took his eyes off Rachel since he saw her.

It turned out that Bill was the handsome man that the nurses were whispering about.

Jack felt bad and clenched his fists tightly.

He immediately noticed how he and Rachel were very close. He then wondered the truth behind the story that they had a special kind of relationship.

The thought of this almost drove Jack mad. He had to take in a series of deep breaths in order to calm himself down and suppress his anger.

At the same time, Celine watched Jack's strange behavior and she felt a sharp stinging pain in her heart.

She initially felt very happy to be able to attend the banquet that evening. After so many years, she felt like her efforts had finally been rewarded when Jack agreed to attend the banquet with her.

But she never expected Rachel to be there as well.

Before she went there, she kept imagining that Jack would introduce her to everyone present and then announce that she was his girlfriend.

However, reality sometimes had a sick sense of humor.

Celine sneered and suppressed her displeasure. She smiled as she turned to Jack and said in a sweet voice, "Jack, I saw Mr. Lin over there. Do you want to go over to him and say hello?"

There was no answer and no indication that her words were even heard.

But she refused to be ignored. So, she reached out her hand and touched the back of Jack's hand.

However, as soon as her fingertips touched the back of his hand, Jack quickly withdrew his hand as if he was touched by something extremely dirty and disgusting. A strong and undisguised look of disgust appe

overed in dew. She picked it up and silently placed it back into her bag with no thought to using it.

When Jack woke up, his eyes immediately scanned the empty room. He subconsciously dialed Rachel's phone number but received a notification that her phone was powered off.

He suddenly remembered that he threw her phone out of the window the evening before.

When Rachel made it back to her place, she saw Bill standing by the entrance of the building. His eyes were bloodshot and he looked like he didn't get much sleep. "Why are you here?" Rachel asked right away.

Bill was startled to hear her voice. He didn't notice her approach. His eyes suddenly grew wide with surprise. He walked towards her to meet her halfway. "You didn't exactly speak when you answered my call last night. I was worried about you. Well, it's good to see that you're okay and back now."

"Did you wait for me here all night?" Rachel was surprised and she was moved. She felt lucky that someone was that much concerned about her.

Bill scratched his hair and smiled like a kid. "Well, I took a nap in the car. Then I saw an old lady coming downstairs to play Tai Chi in the park. I was planning to ask her if she knew you and which building you lived in."

He grabbed Rachel's arm as soon as he finished speaking.

"So, what's up?" Rachel asked. She was startled by his sudden movement.

"Well, you just got back. Meaning you didn't come home last night. So, where did you go?" Bill asked with a frown.

'How would I explain everything to him?' Rachel wondered to herself.

After a brief silence, she decided to just make up an excuse. "There was an emergency at the hospital last night. I was called back to assist. My phone slipped and fell to the floor accidentally. And so now it is broken. That's why I wasn't able to call you back."
