My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 157

Something felt wrong. Rachel furrowed her eyebrows and pestered Eric to tell her what happened. He finally told her that he had resigned from his job and was going to work in a new company.

Rachel gaped in surprise, she hadn't expected that. "Which company?"

After a moment of silence, he scratched his head and forced a smile. "I'm going to work at Michael's company."

"Michael's? When did you get in touch with him?"

"It seems you had forgotten," Eric chuckled. "We had dinner with him a few nights ago, remember?"

They had such a pleasant conversation that they decided to exchange their WeChat contact. Rachel raised her eyebrows. It seemed that she didn't notice that at all.

"Didn't you look down on him before?"

When did they become such good friends? Why didn't she know anything about it?

Rachel thought hard. Okay, they weren't really friends, more like acquaintances. But it was very strange how they seemed to have gotten along.

To add to that, Eric was intimidated by Jack and his circle of friends.

What gave him the courage to work in

Michael's company? It seemed very strange.

Rachel then realized Jack had changed a lot. No wonder Eric dared to give him the long face.

She couldn't quite remember since when Jack became so tolerate.

When Jack dined Royal Private Kitchen that day, he really considered Eric as a family member.

He had been protective over Eric, especially when he found out that the boy was uncomfortable around new people.

Eric also realized the changes in Jack's attitude, and that was why he dared to express his dissatisfaction toward Jack.

Jack liked Rachel, and thus Eric, her family, had the qualification to test Jack.

Otherwise, Jack would have had his men taught Eric a lesson for being so arrogant.

Jack was cold- blooded and ferocious, intimidating a lot of people. So Eric didn't dare go too far.

Eric didn't expect that he would encounter Jack after he started working in Michael's company.

He had been following the department manager, who was assigning him tasks to do after the meeting.

When the elevator arrived, the group of people who had been waiting to enter, immediately paved way for Jack to exit.

They didn't bother going in until Jack and his assistants had left the elevator. Eric was sure that Jack had seen him, but he quickly glanced at him and didn't stop walking.

Eric pretended not to know him either. Although Michael was the company CEO, Eric didn't plan to use his power to seek privileges.

Eric thought it was just a coincidence. Jack and Michael were best friends, so it was normal for Eric to come visit Michael's company.

But before lunch break, he was called to the department manager's office.

Nervous, Eric tried to remember everything he had done.

Taking a deep breath, he knocked at the door.

In a few seconds, a familiar voice called him in. Without any hesitation, Eric pushed the door open. "Manager."

However, he widened his eyes when he saw the man sitting on the sofa. When Jack saw Eric enter, he closed the lighter and gently placed it on the table.

He raised his hand and motioned, "Please, take a seat."

Eric obliged and sat down, nervously sweating.

Jack placed his hands on his knees and asked, "How's work?"

It had been raining in Ninwell City for nearly a week. With nothing to do, Rachel rummaged through the fridge and decided to cook herself a fancy lunch at noon.

After a while, she realized that she had cooked

too much.

Immediately, she called Eric.

Just as he was about to answer Jack's question, Eric's phone rang.

Eric politely excused himself to take the call.

Jack nodded. Eric walked to the balcony. "Rachel?"

Leaning against the sofa, Jack blinked his eyes. He heard him say the name Rachel.

The phone call didn't last that long. When Eric came back, Jack raised his eyebrows. "Rachel's call?"

"Yes." In a flaunting tone, Eric placed his phone in his pocket and said, "She is going to bring me lunch."

Jack was a little surprised. "Bring you lunch?"

Rachel packed Eric's lunch box. Since it was still early, she ate ahead.

Michael ran an Internet technology company. Although Rachel didn't know much about it, she knew that it was one of the biggest companies in the sector.

Michael's company ranked among the top five domestic Internet technology companies. Its headquarters was in Ninwell City, and the conditions of recruiting people had always been very strict.
