Such a Rude and Noisy Woman

Chapter 209 You Are An Economical Wife

"Attention please, everyone. If you have finished your lunch, please go back to your work.

Gossiping about superiors in public is strictly prohibited. This is one of the company rules. Anyone

caught breaking the rules will be punished severely."

Rachel raised her head and looked around. She saw Daniel standing in the middle of the staff canteen,

holding a microphone.

The whole canteen quieted down immediately after Daniel's announcement. Those who had finished

eating quickly put away their dishes and walked away, and those who hadn't lowered their heads and

focused on eating.

Rachel thanked Daniel in her heart. Without all the nagging voices, she could finally eat her meal in

peace.

When she returned to the office, Daniel was already waiting for her.

"I know you want to thank me. You're welcome, my friend. Don't be too moved and fall in love with me. I

can't accept the love of a married woman, " joked Daniel, sitting with his legs crossed and looking at

Rachel with a smile.

Rachel smiled back and asked, "How did you know I was in the canteen?"

"Your husband called me and told me you were eating at the canteen. He was worried that you

wouldn't be able to put up with the gossip, so he asked me to rescue you. I didn't want to interrupt your

meal, so I figured this was the best way to help you, "

Replied Daniel with a light smile, touching the stud on his left ear.

"Ever since you were kidnapped at the theater, Hiram has been blaming himself for not protecting you.

So now, he doesn't want to see you be hurt by anyone or anything. He loves you so much!" continued

Daniel.

Rachel shrugged and said, "I'm going back to work now."

At her desk, Rachel massaged her head to clear her brain so that she could concentrate on her work.

So many things were happening to her recently that she felt like she was going crazy.

She had always thought that she was strong, But sometimes, she felt like life was very hard for her.

She was just a woman. Although she had been trying to stay strong and respond calmly to whatever

life threw at her, there were times when she couldn't stand her ground.

Rachel busied herself with work the whole afternoon. Since she hadn't finished her work in the

morning, she had to catch up on everything she'd missed.

When it was time to get off work, Rachel and her colleagues were still buried in their work. Ever since

they got back from the training, Daniel's team was working harder.

Suddenly, Penny, who was sitting at the desk in front of Rachel's, turned around and knocked on

Rachel's desk. "Rachel, " she called in a low voice.

Rachel, who was busy checking her work before calling it a day, lifted her head and saw Hiram walking

towards her.

His starched white shirt and deep gray suit perfectly outlined his slender body. With his well-shaped

eyebrows and piercing black eyes, Hiram was very charming.

His sudden appearance immediately attracted the attention of Penny and Millay, who were gazing at

him with their mouths open.

"So handsome!

Why can't I meet such a perfect man and marry him?" the two girls murmured to each other as they

watched Hiram walk to Rachel.

The men they met were either good-looking but poor, or rich but not good-looking.

"Haven't you finished your work yet?" asked Hiram, who had been waiting for Rachel outside for about

30 minutes. Since she hadn't come out, he came in to see her.

"Just a minute." Rachel glanced at him and quickened the movement of her hands. When she finished,

she turned off the computer and stood up to grab her things.

Hiram noticed that there was a picture of Rachel and him on her desk. He remembered that Anya had

taken that picture for them when they were in Streams Garden.

"Carry my bag for me. I'm going to the washroom, " Rachel said as she handed the small bag to Hiram

before walking towards the washroom.

She'd been so focused on her work that she hadn't even had the time to go to the washroom.

Penny and Millay, who were secretly observing the couple, exchanged glances. They'd always

imagined that Rachel would be humble and keep a low profile in front of Hiram. But now, she'd asked

him to carry her bag, and Hiram had taken it naturally, just like any ordinary husband would do for his

wife.

Hiram frowned at the canvas bag in his hand. He had bought a cabinet of handbags from famous

brands for her. She, however, still used this old one. She was being too economical.

'This is ridiculous. I have money to cast off, but my wife is too economical to spend it. Doesn't she know

she has a wealthy husband?' Hiram thought to himself.

When she left the washroom, Rachel took her bag from Hiram and waved to the two girls. "I'm off. Don't

work too late. Bye-bye."

Then, the couple walked out of the office hand in hand.

"I didn't expect you to come to my floor today. Aren't you afraid of being gazed at like a rare animal?"

asked Rachel smilingly, looking at Hiram as he drove the car.

Hiram glanced at her and said, "Remember I told you the photos are ready? The workers are waiting

for us at home. We've to go home early to tell them where to place the photos."

In the past, Hiram had avoided contact with Rachel in public because the fact that she was his wife

wasn't public knowledge.

He hadn't wanted to cause her unnecessary troubles.

But now that everyone knew she was his wife, he didn't care about who saw them together.

"What a bad memory I have!" said Rachel, patting her head.

When they arrived home, it was getting dark.

The housemaid had already received the workers, who were waiting in the parlor.

Hiram sat comfortably on the couch and watched Rachel direct the workers on where to place the

photos. He didn't give any suggestions, and just let her arrange them according to her own

preferences.

There was also a large poster which had been stuck on the wall of Rachel's bedroom.

Although the photos had been taken spontaneously at the film and television base, they looked

gorgeous. Rachel liked them very much.

She couldn't wait to share them with her best friend, Celine. She chose several photos which she liked

and sent them to Celine. In one of those photos, Clare, the actor, was lifting the hemline of her long

skirt for her.

Hiram walked to Rachel's room and saw the large poster on the wall. "Honey, why did you stick this

poster here instead of our bedroom?" asked Hiram.

"I didn't think you'd like such a big poster in your bedroom, so I had it placed here. This way, I can see it

every day, and it won't disturb you, " replied Rachel, turning her eyes from her phone to Hiram.

The couple had two bedrooms that were adjacent to each other. One was decorated based on Rachel's

taste, while the other one was decorated based on Hiram's taste.

When Rachel first moved into the house, Hiram had arranged this room for her. Now, she had made

the room completely hers. Whenever she wanted time alone, she'd come here.

Sometimes, they slept in this room, and sometimes, they slept in the other one.

"Why would you think I wouldn't like it? It's our wedding photo. Ask them to make one more poster. I'll

stick it on the wall of my room, " said Hiram as he walked over and pulled Rachel into his embrace. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Rachel, who'd been texting Celine, dropped her phone onto the bed.

Hiram gave her a kiss on the lips and asked, "Did my father embarrass you when you went to the Rong

mansion today?"

"No, he didn't, " replied Rachel, putting her arms around Hiram's neck. "Don't worry. I understand his

feelings, so even if he had behaved rashly, I wouldn't blame him.

But that rumor..."

"You mean the rumor about my aunt's child?" asked Hiram, staring at her intently.

Rachel nodded.

"Don't worry. I have arranged for someone to investigate it. I don't believe it's true. My father got too

worked up when he heard the news. When he calms down, he'll start doubting it as well, " Hiram said

gently, tucking Rachel's hair behind her ears.

"Whatever happened between your father and my aunt, it has nothing to do with you. Don't trouble

yourself because of my father's attitude. You're my wife. I will protect you no matter what."

'From now on, I won't let anyone hurt her again, ' swore Hiram in his heart.

The lovers stared at each other affectionately, moving their faces closer and closer to each other. Just

as their lips were about to meet, Rachel's phone rang.
