Chapter 467 Being Absent-minded All Night
"Come on!" When Rachel passed by her colleague, she reached out and gently patted her colleague''s
shoulder. Although there was a smile at the corners of her mouth, Rachel had an indescribable feeling
in her heart.
She was disappointed, and a little angry.
Even if Jack had something to do and couldn''t keep his promise, he couldn''t even make a phone call or
send a message!
Julie had just had a casual dinner and was cleaning up the table in the kitchen. When she heard the
sound from the door, she quickly took off her gloves and walked out. She was surprised to see that
Rachel came in alone. "Miss, didn''t youe back with Mr. Jack?"
These days, since Jack moved back, the two of them went out and came back together every day.
All of a sudden, Julie only saw Rachele back from outside. She was a little unustomed to it.
Putting her bag on the sofa, Rachel said in a low voice, "Julie, Is there anything else in the fridge?"
"Yes, Miss. You haven''t had dinner yet?" The smile at the corners of Julie''s mouth immediately
disappeared. She didn''t know if she was too sensitive, because she always felt that Rachel looked a
little unhappy today.
As she walked towards the kitchen, Rachel said in a low voice, "I''m a little hungry. I want to cook some
noodles."
"Let me do it." Julie reached out to take the egg in her hand, but she was stopped by Rachel, who
smiled and said, "No, thanks. I can cook it myself."
She wanted to find something to do, only in this way could she calm down, and did not think why Jack
didn''te to pick up her.
When she came in, she had a look at the vestibule and knew that Jack hadn''te back yet.
Rachel cooked a bowl of noodles casually, but she didn''t have any appetite. But thinking of the baby in
her belly, she still ate the whole night. Then she went back to her room and cleaned up simply.
Lying on the bed, although Rachel had a parenting book in her hand, she didn''t turn a page for a long
time. All her attention was on the outside. She wanted to hear if there was any sound of a car outside
and see if Jack hade back.
However, it was not until twelve o''clock in the evening that Rachel felt her eyelids hanging heavily. She
did not wait for Jack toe back.
The second morning, when Rachel sat down at the table, Julie brought the fried poached egg to her
and asked, "Miss, Mr. Jack didn''te backst night. Is there anything wrong in thepany?"
"He didn''te back homest night?" Rachel repeated.
Rachel waited tootest night, so she couldn''t get up this morning and stayed in bed for a few
minutes. When she really woke up, all she thought about was that she was about to bete for work
and forgot about Jack.
Now, when Julie suddenly asked her, the fact that she was abandoned yesterday and Jack''s phone
was turned off gradually came back to her mind. Rachel shook her lips and said, "I don''t know. Maybe
he is too busy with business."
In the hospital, Rachel sat on the chair with her chin resting on her hands. Her phone was on the table,
and the screen was turned on for a few seconds and then it went ck.
Rachel didn''t know how many times she had repeated such an action. She hesitated in her heart and
didn''t know if she should call Jack again to ask him about it.
She was worried about Jack, but she was more afraid that it would be another strange woman who
answered the phone?
At this time, the door of the office was pushed open from the outside. Seeing that Rachel was absent-
minded, the Director of the executive department coughed heavily and said seriously, "Don''t be absent-
minded during working hours!"
Hearing that, Rachel came back to her senses. She pretended to be very busy, flipped through the
documents on the table and asked in a low voice, "Director, what can I do for you?"
"I''ve been looking for you on the Inte for a long time, but you didn''t respond at all? I have toe
to you in person? You are really a big shot now." Director said impatiently.
As Rachel moved the mouse, the screen of theputer also lit up. She looked down and saw that the
social software was constantly flickering. She opened it and found that Director had indeed sent more
than a dozen messages to her. But at that time, she was full of thought about calling Jack, so naturally
she did not notice the messages.
She forced a smile and made up an excuse, "My just broke and I received it now. Director, what
can I do for you?"
"Here you are." The Director threw the key in her hand directly in front of Rachel and said coldly, "I
have something to deal with. There is a meeting in the hospitalter. You attend it on behalf me. There
is a document on my desk. It''s beside thend phone. You can take it to the meeting room and give it
to the executive."
"Okay, I see." After putting the key into the drawer and watching the Director leaving, Rachel thought
for a while and dialed Jack''s number.
This time, the phone was connected, but after waiting for a long time, no one answered. In the end, the
phone was directly hung up.
Rachel took a deep breath. Since his phone was powered on and could be turned on again, it meant
that at least he was safe.
But he should receive a message when he turned on his phone, telling him that she had called him, but
Jack did not call back, nor did he reply to a message. ''Could it be?'' A bitter smile appeared on Rachel''s
face. It seemed that what she thought was right. If you try to believe what a man said, the sow would
probably climb the tree.
After a few minutes of silence, Rachel took a look at her watch, stood up and went to the Director''s
office. As she said, Rachel took the documents and walked into the meeting room.
Rachel had no idea about what this meeting was about until she sat in the meeting room and looked
through the meeting agenda that had just been issued. It turned out that this meeting was mainly about
the hospital''s anniversary.
With a straight face, the executive, who was sitting at the head of the table, said seriously, "This
anniversary ceremony is not only to give our hospital a chance to publicize, but also to hold a unveiling
ceremony for the charity established by our hospital. So, we can''t make any mistake this time."
"We know it and the preparation is on the way." The man sitting on the right hand of director Zhou
immediately echoed, "our public rtions department has already chosen the site and theyout of the
site."
"Our publicity department is also preparing for some advertising activities at the scene."Original content from N?velDrama.Org.
Everyone began to talk about what they had done in this department in order to make a face familiar to
the executive.
Rachel had never heard the Director mention this before. Now that everyone had almost finished
talking, she was the only one left. For a moment, everyone''s eyes fell on her.
She quickly opened the document taken from the desk of the Director and found that it was a guest list.
She breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "The guest list has been prepared by our executive
department."
"Have you brought it?" The executive winked at his assistant.
The assistant stood up in a hurry. Rachel closed the file in her hand again and handed it to the
assistant.
However, after a while, the executive suddenly smashed the documents in his hands heavily on the
conference table, and his face suddenly darkened. "I have said that this anniversary ceremony is not
as usual, and the guest list must be careful, but obviously, your department directly ignored my words!
Everyone present must have heard about the gossip about the CEO of the CX Group? If we invite him
here, shall we hold the unveiling ceremony?"
Although the executive of the hospital was like the parents of Rachel in private, he was always
meticulous at work. Now he didn''t show any mercy when he scolded others.
Hearing that, Rachel was a little confused. The Director of the public rtions department also echoed,
"The executive indeed mentioned that this person couldn''t attend the anniversary celebration of our
hospital. Didn''t you hear itst time or didn''t you change it directly?"
On the surface, he was defending for Rachel, but the responsibilities were directly pressed on the
executive department. Once she agreed, it was sure that she did not listen carefullyst time, or that
they did not take the executive''s words seriously.
After a few seconds of silence, she said slowly, "Executive, I''m here to attend this meeting on behalf of
our Director. Maybe I took the wrong document from her desk. I''ll ask her again after the meeting."
Hearing this exnation, the executive''s face softened a little, but he still frowned tightly. He waved his
hand and said in a deep voice, "Ask your Director to send the documents to my office by herself!"
"Okay, I see."
Rachel lowered her head. After a while, the meeting was finally over. She breathed a sigh of relief.
When Rachel returned to the executive department, she saw that the Director, who had just gone out,
was sitting in the office again, humming a tune in her throat, as if she was in a good mood.
She walked forward and put the crumpled document in front of the Director. With a serious look on her
face, she said, "Director, this is the list of anniversary celebration. The executive has just pointed out
and criticized it at the meeting."
"Criticized? For what?" Director''s face changed slightly and returned to normal a momentter.
Rachel said, "The CX Group shouldn''t be on the guest list. Now the executive asked you to prepare a
new list and send it to his office in person."
Her tone was so calm that the Director only felt that she was taking pleasure in other people''s
misfortune. All of a sudden, she felt a little angry and became more and more impolite. He said coldly,
"What do you mean by asking me to prepare another one? Didn''t I ask you to do it before? You can''t
complete the task by yourself now, so you put all the me on me?"
