Jack gazed at Celine coldly. "You better know where you stand. Remove your hand."
His words had a double meaning.
Looking at the way his eyes flashed with such intensity, she could feel her mind going blank. "I-I won't be like this in the future," she stuttered out.
She was afraid that Jack wouldn't be as forgiving this time around.
If he was pissed at her now, it would be harder for her to get back into his good graces next time.
"Your apology is cheap! Just like you," he spat. Without giving her a chance to speak up, he drove away.
The skies rumbled in anger, and soon enough, rain drizzled around her. Even nature was mocking her every being.
Celine squatted on the ground and hugged her legs tightly. She shivered under the rain. At this point, it felt as if her whole life was falling apart right in front of her.
In the ward, Rachel shifted in her bed uncomfortably. It was then that she realized how painful it must've been for Lea on her first night when she had gotten injured.
They got hurt in the same month. 'That must mean we're good friends,' she thought, snickering at the irony.
As soon as she woke up, sunlight poured through the corners of the blinds. She sat up and struggled to get out of bed.
However, as soon as she stepped on the floor, Rachel could feel a sharp pain poking her on the hips. Her legs trembled from the feeling. S
they were all doing very well.
Of course, Rachel had no idea what happened in the makings of this decision. Hearing what he said, she nodded. "That's true," she said thoughtfully. "At least I don't have to drive that far to eat these anymore."
She grinned.
Glancing at the empty box, she scratched the back of her head in embarrassment. "I may have eaten too much," she murmured sheepishly.
"It doesn't matter." Jack cleaned up the table and looked at his watch. "Get some rest, okay? I have something to deal with in the company first."
"Be careful on the way," she called out.
Celia's character was Rachel's complete opposite. She was the type of girl who made friends with everyone no matter where she went.
She actually was planning to visit Rachel, but she stopped by the nursing station first. Seeing that they were gossiping, she decided to join in for a while. In around half an hour, she decided that it was time to see her friend.
Celia pushed the door open and poked her head inside the ward. "I'm here!" she called.
"Come in."
"Sure."
Standing by the bed, Celia crossed her arms over her chest and gazed at her carefully.
"What are you doing?" Rachel frowned nervously. She grabbed the glass of water and took a sip. "Don't look at me like that."
"Are you and Jack together again?"
Upon hearing her words, Rachel choked on her own water.
