Austin thought it was a simple thing, but he didn't expect that the task assigned to him was here.
From time to time, Austin looked up at Rachel, and then looked down at the coffee in front of him. He picked up the cup and took two sips. He didn't know what to say at all, and even the air around him became a little awkward and strange.
As time passed, the customers in the cafe had already been changed one after another. Seeing that the two of them had been sitting silently for so long, the waiter came up and politely asked, "Hello, do you need to order another cup of coffee? I think the coffee must be cold as you have been sitting here for so long. "
"No, thanks." Since Rachel couldn't drink coffee, she ordered a cup of warm water, which was already cold.
She turned her head and looked at the street lights on both sides of the street. She smiled and said, "Austin, I'm sorry to keep you here for so long. I'll invite you to dinner next time. I'm leaving now."
"Okay." Austin didn't know what his boss was up to, but before he set out, Jack had warned him not to say it out. He could only endure it, but he felt uneasy.
After Rachel paid the bill, she stood up and left. She felt terrible for her stupidity.
She should have guessed that Jack wouldn't come again when she saw Austin. Why would she waste so much time sitting quietly in the coffee shop and waiting for him? She looked like a fool.
Rachel wandered on the street alone. Somehow, Rachel walked to the door of Jimmy's shop unconsciously, only to find that the sliding door had been pulled down and closed. On the sliding door, there was a piece of red paper, which was written "For Sale" on it.
It was a little dazzling. Rachel immediately turned around and was about to go back. At this time, a figure stood in front of her. She looked up and found that it was Jack whom she had waited for a long time but did not appear.
She glanced at him expressionlessly, bypassed him and took a step forward. Jack grabbed her wrist and asked, "Why do you look for me?"
"It's nothing now." Said Rachel in a low voice. No one could sense her emotion at the moment.
As a result, Jack had no idea what to do. He asked Austin to come here on purpose to see if Rachel would surrender to him because of this. But he forgot that Rachel was not that kind of person and had never been that kind of person.
Taking back her hand, she continued to walk forward. "Jack, since you don't want to come out, then you should have not promised me. It's a waste of both my time and Austin's. I'm just nobody. You don't have to spend much time on me!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a taxi stopped in front of her. Rachel got in the car and told her address. As for Jimmy, since things had happened, she could do nothing but think of other ways to make up for the guilt in her heart.
Looking at the disappearing car exhaust, Jack's eyelids twitched and the corners of his mouth twitched. It seemed that smoke was rising above his head. Was Jimmy really so important to her?
Austin was about to leave when he saw Jack. But as soon as he got close, he regretted and wanted to sneak back, but Jack's voice suddenly sounded again, "Austin."
"Boss, what can I do for you?" Austin hid his look and asked seriously.
Jack closed his eyes and opened them again, full of doubts in his eyes. "Did I do something wrong just now?"
"What?" Austin was confused.
He looked in the direction where Rachel left and said in a cold voice, "Why do I feel that I'm becoming more and more childish now? "
Many things and behaviors were not what he thought. However, no matter how small the matter was, if it was related to Rachel, it would easily arouse his anger and then do something childish.
After thinking for a long time, Austin plucked up his courage and said slowly, "Lookers on see more than players. Boss, it doesn't matter whether you are childish or not. What matters is whether you will regret in the future?"
Jimmy bought a lot of goods from his previous dealers and finally returned all the goods he owed to the customers. Therefore, he put all the money he had earned into the account, what's more, he lost a lot.
Now, the shop couldn't be run anymore.
Rachel stirred the milk with a spoon and asked hesitantly, "Have you ever thought about what to do next?"
"Not yet." Jimmy smiled bitterly, "I'll think about it later."
"Well, when you make a decision, no matter what kind of business you do, count me in and let me invest in it."
This was the only way that Rachel came up with after thinking for a few days. She knew that if she brought it up directly and wanted to return the money she owed to him, Jimmy would definitely not agree.
She had no choice but to do so, so that when Jimmy's financial pressure could be slightly relieved when he started a new business.
