Stuck in you

Chapter 150 Don't Let Them Go

Eric changed his mind again and said, "Then I'll just wait for you here."

"I'm going to the supermarket underground."

"Then I'll wait for you at the entrance of the supermarket." Obviously, Eric wasn't in the mood to move around. Rachel was left with no choice so she just said, "Okay, okay. Anyway, I won't take long."

They then went downstairs together. When Eric saw an empty chair, he immediately swept himself to it and waved to Rachel happily. "See you later."

When Rachel looked around, she saw a play area behind Eric. She just hoped that when she came back later, she wouldn't see him playing with the children there.

She only needed a few items so it only took her less than twenty minutes to buy everything. But when she came out, Eric wasn't there anymore.

Even if she looked around, she still couldn't see Eric. She was about to call him when she heard his voice from behind, "Rachel."

Rachel turned around. He quickly came over and took the shopping bags from her hand.

"Where have you been?" she asked.

Eric hesitated for a moment before he replied, "I went to the bathroom."

"Okay. Let's go home. I already have everything I need."

"Rachel..." Apparently, Eric had something to say. But eventually, he decided to just keep quiet. Rachel turned to him with confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," he answered sulkily.

Rachel didn't ask some more and they took the elevator to the ground floor. But when she was about to ask him if he wanted to have dinner outside, she saw a strange expression on his face.

He suddenly turned around and stood in front of her. He pointed to a direction of one store and said, "Rachel, I think that store is great. Let's go there and have a look." Perplexed, Rachel looked at the direction where he was pointing. Her mouth twitched slightly. "Is pharmacy a great store? They only sell medicines and health products."

Eric looked embarrassed for a moment. Rachel couldn't help but frown. He was acting weirdly.

A trace of nervousness flashed through Eric's face but she failed to notice it. She looked at her watch and asked, "Would you like to have dinner outside or cook at home?"

"Let's just go home," replied Eric.

"Okay," she agreed.

However, Eric froze after taking a few steps. He suddenly changed his mind. "I think it's better to have dinner outside."

Rachel was speechless. She stared at Eric for a while before she said, "Make up your mind first before you tell me."

"Yes, I've decided. Let's have dinner here," Eric sounded firm all of a sudden. "I saw a restaurant on the second floor. Let's go and eat there."

"Okay, let's go there. But are you really sure now?" Rachel doubted his words this time.

Eric blinked his eyes. "Yes, I'm sure." "Let's go then," Rachel said with a smile.

When they started walking again, a woman's charming voice called out from behind, "Eric!"

Eric pretended not to hear it, but Rachel seemed to hear something. She was about to turn around to see who it was when Eric suddenly grabbed her hand.

But the voice from behind followed them closely. "Eric, wait up!"

The voice was so loud that Rachel couldn't ignore it anymore. She stopped walking and looked up to him. "Someone is calling your name," she said.

With a darkened face, Eric turned around and walked towards the woman. Compared with his stinky face, the woman's expression was like a spring breeze.

"We met again,"

he snorted. "What's the matter? If you have nothing else to say, we'll leave now."

"Hey!" The woman who was wearing a pink dress got angry. "How can you do this to me? You're so rude!"

He looked at her strangely and answered, "I don't care. I'm not in the mood to please you."

Perhaps what Eric had said hurt the girl deeply because Rachel saw that her eyes turned red immediately.

Rachel considered Eric's behavior unacceptable so she stepped forward and said to him lightly, "Be polite. Don't be so rude."

The woman peered at Rachel and bit her lower lip. She then turned to look at Eric again and called his name. "Eric..."

Eric didn't even bother to answer. Despite Rachel's advice, he still turned around and ignored her.

Rachel was a little embarrassed. She didn't have any idea why Eric seemed to hate this woman so much.

The woman lowered her head and wiped her eyes with a tissue. She took a deep breath to calm herself down. She then stared at Eric's back with a resentful expression on her face and said, "I'm sorry. I won't bother you anymore."

With hands in his pockets, Eric stopped walking. His back straightened up a little but he didn't look back. He seemed not to care for her at all.

The woman turned and walked away. Rachel didn't know what to say. She walked up to him and said, "She's gone. Shall we have dinner?" Eric didn't respond. He was in a daze. "Don't just stand here like a fool. Let's go." Rachel tapped his shoulder a little.

"Oh," Eric said in surprise. He then fixed his cap and walked with her to the elevator.

When they were inside the elevator, Eric suddenly asked, "Rachel, why don't you ask me?"

"Ask what?" Rachel asked back confusedly.

"About that woman."

"You have already explained it to me, haven't you?"

Eric had just told her how annoying that woman was.

Rachel knew that if Eric complained a lot about someone, it only meant that he really detested that person.

"Yeah," Eric's short reply. Actually, he wanted to say something more.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

But the elevator suddenly became crowded so they needed to stop their conversation. They were even pushed to the corner.

The elevator doors opened on the second floor so Eric said "Excuse me" for the people in front of them to give way. Rachel followed him out.

When they got out of the elevator, Eric turned to look at her. He was about to say something.

However, before he could say anything, Rachel yelled, "Watch out!" It was too late for her to grab Eric away. He already bumped into the woman behind him.

They shouted simultaneously out of surprise. The woman staggered and fell backwards.

Luckily, a man in a black suit rushed forward and supported her.

"I'm sorry, I didn't notice you. Are you okay?" Eric apologized hurriedly.

Rachel ran after him immediately. The woman held onto the man's shoulder and slowly straightened herself up. She frowned and didn't respond to Eric.

She moved her feet but her face suddenly twisted in pain. Apparently, she had sprained her ankle.

Some passers-by were already looking at them curiously.

The woman still didn't say anything. She just lowered her head to check her feet.

Eric looked at Rachel in bewilderment. "Are you blind?" the man in a black suit shouted in an unfriendly tone.

"I'm so sorry," Eric apologized sincerely. "I really didn't mean it. Are you okay?"

The woman glanced at him with a haughty expression. She then turned to the man in a black suit who happened to be her bodyguard and whispered something in his ear.

Rachel was about to say something when the woman's phone rang.

The bodyguard helped her walk to the other side so she could answer her phone. The way she walked awkwardly showed that she was really injured.

Eric walked to Rachel and called her name in a low voice.

The woman didn't keep her voice down while she was talking on the phone so they could vaguely hear some of her words.

"My feet hurt," she said in a saccharine tone.

When Eric looked at the woman's cold face, he realized that she looked so delicate and beautiful. He suddenly remembered the girl in pink whose name was Nancy Guo.

Rachel squeezed his hand lightly, hinting him to calm down. She assured him that they wouldn't leave until the woman talked to them.

After all, they were responsible for what happened to her. They couldn't just go without having a word with her.

The woman turned to look at them after she was done talking on the phone. A hint of disgust flashed through her eyes. She crossed her slender arms on her chest and leaned on the bodyguard. She was still holding her phone in her hand.

"You can't go yet. Just wait here," she said lightly.

Disdain was written all over her face.

It seemed that she wasn't interested to ask for an apology or compensation. Rachel and Eric couldn't figure out what she had in her mind.

Rachel's eyes fell on the woman's ankle. She noticed that most of the woman's strength was leaning on her left foot and the left side of her body was also leaning on the man beside her.

The impact when Eric bumped into her, wasn't strong but since the woman was wearing high heels, it was expected that she would sprain her ankle when she lost her balance.

The woman fell silent again but her attitude was still arrogant. Eric had apologized several times but she just turned a deaf ear. Her glances towards him were also full of contempt.

It was hard to tell what she really wanted. She wouldn't let them go nor accept his apology.

Eric was beginning to lose his patience. He felt embarrassed but also pissed off.

On the other hand, Rachel remained calm. She heard that the woman was only waiting for someone so she whispered to him, "Let's just wait for a moment."

"Lady, will it be okay if we talk over there? I don't think it's convenient for you to stand here while waiting for that someone. Besides, a lot of people are passing by," she said to the woman with a smile.

The woman was about to reply but her phone rang again. Before turning around to answer her phone, she said to her bodyguard, "Don't let them go."

Fury ignited in Eric's heart and his eyes turned dark.

This woman was deliberately embarrassing them. They had already caught a lot of attention from the people passing by.

However, when Eric turned to look at Rachel, she didn't look disturbed at all. He had no choice but to close his eyes and calm himself down.

Rachel looked at the tall and strong bodyguard in front of her. She thought for a moment and then asked, "Mister, will it be okay if we move to the other side?"

The bodyguard frowned. He couldn't disobey his boss. They were told not to leave this place.

Eventually, the bodyguard decided to ignore Rachel's request. He just stared at her without saying anything.

This time, Eric couldn't contain his anger anymore. "What the hell! Can't you just have a normal conversation with us? Stop being so arrogant!"
