My Darling, My Dearest

Holley didn't expect that Rachel would see her like this.

Something surged through her chest and her hands shook. She had to restrain herself from slapping the hell out of the woman.

Rachel was a powerful woman with an equally strong background, and Holley was nothing but a dot in their map.

She should've seen the aftermath, given that her plan didn't work.

Holley forced herself to raise her chin and walked up the steps. Her gaze was filled with ferocity and fierceness. She placed a hand on her hip and stopped about five steps away from Rachel. "Well? Are you happy seeing me like this?" she sneered.

Rachel furrowed her eyebrows. She didn't even do anything, and Holley was already putting it all on her. She whirled towards her. "I don't know what you're talking about," she snapped. "Oh, drop the act!"

Holley yelled harshly. Seeing that there was no point in convincing her, Rachel didn't want to say anything more. Fortunately, a taxi stopped beside her just in time.

"Do you need a ride, miss?"

She nodded and got in the car. At this point, she needed to figure out what the woman was actually talking about.

When the car drove away, it ran down a puddle and splashed water all over Holley's face.

She looked like a shrew as she pointed at the back of the taxi and shouted profanities at Rachel who wouldn't even hear her. She didn't stop until she heard some nurses gossiping in the background. Scowling, she trudged back dejectedly with her luggage. Her wet hair hung against the side of her face.

Holley couldn't help but glance at the hospital that she had given up most of her youth in. At this point, after everything she had been through, she was going to leave. Maybe it was time that she would never come back.

As she reminisced what had happened to her, she still couldn't believe it. It was like a nightmare that had rolled into motion.

When she woke up in her bed this morning, she found herself in her bed. She thought what had happened yesterday was just her dream. Yesterday, she was taken away to a house by two men. The taller man picked up a box from the floor and poured out two white pills. He didn't waste any time as he held her face and pushed the pills down her throat. She choked out into a series of coughs.

The scarred man beside her smirked. "Lock her in that room."

Soon, her hands and feet were free again. Holley scrambled up against the wooden door as her fists pounded against the surface. "Who the hell are you? Let me out!" she screamed. "Stop it. Don't you know why they locked you up in here?" A pair of arms stretched out from behind her, locking her in some sort of embrace.

The girl whispered strange things into her ear.

Holley wanted nothing more than to shove that woman away, but suddenly,

she felt a warm current coursing through her.

'The two pills!' she thought before she succumbed to darkness.

Holley couldn't remember what happened next. When she woke up again, she found that she was her bed, so she thought that everything that had happened last night might be part of her drunken hallucinations.

As usual, she freshened up and was about to go to work when she received a call from the director of the hospital. "Where are you know?"

She frowned. "I'm at home."

"Come to my office immediately!"

Holley didn't take it seriously, but she still took a taxi to the hospital after hanging up the phone. She didn't expect that as soon as she entered the office, a few sheets of paper flung towards her face.

The director was flustered and exasperated. "What the hell is wrong with you? Where did they find these photos? Do you even know how many patients have seen this? They want us to kick you out of this hospital!"

Holley bent over and picked them up. Upon seeing the pictures imprinted on them, she paled immediately.

Although the pictures were blurred, anyone who had seen her could easily recognize that she was the one in the pictures. There were pictures of her having sex with another woman.

"What? Why are these photos all over the Internet?"

As she stared at them, Holley recognized the room from last night.

It seemed that her supposed dream wasn't a dream after all!

The director snorted. "You're asking me that? Look, I don't care if you like women or not, but the least you can do is keep a low profile. What the hell am I going to say to the Board?" This was just ridiculous!

Holley trembled at the sight of the director's glare.

She had hoped to get promoted, but now it seemed that all that she had worked for was now tumbling down the ground.

"These pictures were falsified," she protested.

"I don't care! What you've done has disgraced the hospital.

You're fired, Holley Ye." "No, please, let me explain,"

she said desperately.

The rain interrupted her thoughts and brought her back to reality as they ran down her face, mixing with her tears.

Although she would leave Ninwell City now, she would never forget what Rachel had done to her.

Rachel's phone vibrated twice, and it showed a message from an unknown number saying, "You win, but it doesn't mean that I will give in so easily!"

She knew that the text message was from Holley. However, what the hell did she win? She didn't even know of her involvement in her case.

Soon enough, it gradually stopped raining.

Rachel turned to see that they were passing by a supermarket. Upon remembering the empty fridge, she said to the driver, "Please pull over by the supermarket."

As she pushed the cart down the aisles, Rachel stopped by the fruit and vegetable area and picked all the things that she thought Jack would like. It was not until she paid the bill that she realized that she was actually making food according to his taste. She smiled silently to herself.

"Miss, is there something wrong?" The cashier stopped, glancing up at her.

Did this customer find something wrong?

Rachel shook her head. The strange feeling that overcame her had passed. Without another word, she paid the bill and left. At this point, she still didn't know where Jack was.

Jack had been sitting in the restaurant and glancing at his watch from time to time.

On the opposite side, Celine was gazing carefully at the menu.

"Jack, you like beef steak, right? How about ordering a fried beef rib?" Celine gazed at her expectantly. "Whatever you like."

In all honesty, he had no plans in eating with her.

He glanced up at her. "I actually have to go now. I still need to get some work done."

"Didn't you say that you wanted to thank me for finding your phone? All I want is for you to accompany me for a meal. I don't want to eat alone."

Celine's eyes turned red.

"I'll make up for it next time." Without another word, Jack grabbed his phone and turned without looking back.

Just then, a waiter came over. "Miss, do you want to order now?"

"There's no need."

Celine slammed the menu onto the table. Seeing as there was no point in eating here anymore, she stood up and left. She had done so many things in order to eat with the man. She didn't expect that he wouldn't even give her a chance. Two days ago, she had hired a thief to follow Jack around.

Suddenly, there came her opportunity. While Jack and Austin were walking back to the company, the man walked past them and stole Jack's phone. Celine deliberately called Jack at the time when they were getting off work. "Jack, while I was shopping, I saw your phone. Well, I think it is." "Where did you find it?"

he asked hurriedly.

The cellphone was very important to me. It would be troublesome if it had gone missing.

"When I came out of the shopping mall, someone stopped me and asked if I wanted to buy a phone. It looks like it belongs to you, so I bought it. It seemed that the power was already turned off though, so I'm not sure if it's actually yours," she said naturally.

She had already practiced it over and over again before she actually called him.

Jack picked up his car keys. "Where are you? I'll be there soon."

Taking this opportunity, Celine requested to have dinner with him, but it turned out even that plan backfired on her!

Celine had even gone to his company multiple times. She was frustrated when she couldn't even enter his office!

She clenched her fists. Sitting in his car, Jack charged his phone and turned it on. There were several text messages popping out of his notifications bar. One of them was from Rachel.

"Why is your phone powered off? I'll take a taxi home. You don't have to pick me up."

He could already imagine Rachel's face as she typed in the message.

Jack headed for home.

When he opened the door, he was met with an exquisite scent.

He stood in front of the kitchen and spotted Rachel wearing an apron and reaching for some sugar.

The yellow light shone on top of her head, and a fuzzy feeling in Jack's chest grew even more.

He knew that the feeling he felt was happiness.

He walked up to her and encircled her arms around his waist.
