Chapter 340 The Business Trip

Before Rachel could answer, Bill's voice sounded from behind them. "Rachel, Andy's fine after taking the medicine. Let's go."

"Bill?"

Jack finally withdrew himself as a bitter smile slipped into his lips.

A shiver shot down her spine.

Being the smart man that he was, Michael took two steps back. He glanced at the three of them cautiously as he crossed his arms. "I surely won't be bored tonight," he murmured to himself.

When Rachel got out of the car, she could almost feel the atmosphere thickening with tension. She glanced at Michael. "The party's about to start. Shouldn't you go in?"

"It doesn't matter. Besides, all we need to do is hand over the red packets. Jack would be finished here in a bit."

He shrugged.

She shuffled uncomfortably as the two men gazed at each other. They looked like a pair of bulls about to ram against each other.

Jack was the first one to break the silence. He took a few steps forward and placed a hand on Bill's shoulder. "I didn't expect to see you again."

"Well, the city's not that big," Bill replied.

Jack smiled faintly.

"It seems that it wasn't enough that we had met abroad; we run into each other here as well. Isn't fate interesting?"

Rachel noticed the iciness crawling into his features, and her heart twitched at the sight. She immediately walked forward and tried to dispel the tension between them. "It's really not appropriate to stand and talk here," she insisted. "Do you wan

She knew exactly what he was talking about.

But she still wasn't ready.

Rachel handed over the medical records to one of the nurses. "Put it away for me. Thank you." After saying that, she rushed over to the door to the director's office. She knocked tentatively and pushed the door open. "Director," she greeted. "Have you found someone else to go on your business trip?"

"What's wrong?" It was obvious that the director was still upset by her refusal that morning.

She shrugged. "I've already postponed the event I had for tomorrow night. If you still haven't found a suitable person yet, I'm willing to go there."

Excitement flashed in his eyes, but it was gone in a second. He coughed slightly and cleared his throat. "If it's really not convenient for you, you don't have to force yourself," he said flippantly.

'He really is a sly fox,' she sneered to herself.

Plastering a smile on her face, she said, "It would be a good chance for me to learn something. I would like to thank you for the opportunity that you've given me."

She really wanted to throw up.

If she had any other choice, she wouldn't even bother sucking up to him.
