Rachel was back at work, working harder than she had ever worked before because she knew what could happen if she didn't give it her best.
Rachel was aware of Mathias' interest in her and the fact that she was about to drop her guard around him made her realize that she wasn't as bulletproof to men as she thought.
She was in a vulnerable state and Mathias didn't do anything wrong, he played his cards right and almost got his reward if not for Jason's return.
Mathias understood boundaries and didn't try to do anything funny because Jason was the last person he wanted to mess with.
Mathias and her became strictly work acquaintances and he envied Jason secretly because Rachel was a babe.
Things were going well and they were able to help people who were sick recover quickly due to the sickness not being anything too serious.
"Damn it, things aren't looking good…" Rachel muttered under her breath.
