Stuck in you
Chapter 132 Being Questioned
"Is he here too?" asked Lucas. He seemed surprised from the look on his face.
Neither he nor Rachel noticed that Claris was gnashing her teeth.
'How dare they flirt with each other in front of me! Do they have no respect for me at all? What are they thinking acting so lovey-dovey in front of me?
This bitch!' Claris was so angry that she let go of Lucas' hand.
She stay behind them and listened to every word they said with contempt.
The two of them were so indulged in their conversation that they didn't notice Claris' expression.
Ever since they got here, Lucas barely paid attention to her. He was so focused on Rachel that he might've forgotten that Claris was there too.
What irritated Claris all the more was the way Lucas talked to Rachel. His voice sounded so gentle. It was completely different from the way he used to treat her, cold and distant.
The mixed feelings of envy and grief welled up in Claris' heart. She couldn't believe how angry and helpless she felt right now.
Lucas' eyes were covered with a layer of shadow. He pressed his perfectly-shaped lips together and said in a soft voice, "You wait here, and I'll go over there and take a look."
When she heard what Lucas said, Claris said, "I'll go with you!"
Lucas frowned and looked at her. "There's nothing for you to do there. You can wait here."
Claris bit her lower lip and her eyes turned red. She felt so betrayed and wronged that she was driven to tears.
Lucas saw that she was crying, and couldn't stand seeing her like this. He sighed and said in a soft voice, "You should wait here. I just need to do something, alright?"
Claris pursed her lips and reluctantly agreed.
Lucas was about to pat Claris' head when he realized something. He looked at Rachel, who was staring at him.
His face turned slightly red. He clenched his fist and pressed it against his lips to clear his throat. "I'll go have a look. Don't worry, I won't be long."
Obviously, he said these words to Rachel. Before she could say anything, Claris interfered. "Okay, don't take long," she said.
Lucas was left speechless.
Rachel didn't know what to say either. Both of them decided to just let it go.
After he left, Claris turned around to look at Rachel. The more she looked at her, the more upset she felt.
Claris would felt much better if Rachel looked ugly. But she was a pretty woman.
'Wait, why does it seem like I've seen this woman before?' she thought.
