Such a Rude and Noisy Woman

Chapter 386 Personal Affairs

"Hiram, is there anything wrong?" said Chad. Chad glanced at Lydia and thought, 'This seemed

strange. Why could Lydia be here?'

Then Chad turned back his attention to Hiram and noticed that Hiram was very calm toward this

situation. Hiram seemed to have an idea that Lydia came here without any surprise.

"Hiram, are we still going in?" Chad repeated.

Hiram looked at Chad and responded,"Sure, let's go in! Why shouldn't we? It's good that we'll be able

to know what they'll say when we enter this room."

"... I guess you're right, Hiram. Come on. Let's go inside." Chad nodded and opened the car door for

Hiram.

Meanwhile, in the other adjacent room,"Excuse me, Miss. I would like to ask you a question. Why do

you ask me to send messages to Rachel? Are you the mistress?" Sid asked. He thought, 'Lydia must

love Hiram so much that she deliberately asked me to send messages to Rachel.'

Then Sid showed Lydia the messages sent from his phone.

Of course, such messages were mostly made up. Most of them were compromised soon after.

Lydia looked at the messages and said,"You don't have to know anything. It seems that you're having a

great conversation with Rachel. But I failed to expect Rachel to be skittish..."

"You flirt with Rachel by just a few words. I need you to be more active in this matter."

Sid grinned,"I'm actually very interested in Rachel. I have to remind you that this costs a thousand

dollars for one message! Tell me, what kind of person Rachel is?"

Lydia made a copy of the conversations and returned the phone to Sid.

"You chat with Rachel as usual. I will book a hotel where you could meet Rachel. You are only

responsible for flirting with Rachel. That's your only job. Don't worry about anything else." Lydia

warned. Lydia thought, 'Hiram won't believe what I had said about Rachel's affair.

If I exposed a video of Rachel making love with another man to Hiram, there might be a chance for him

to believe what I said.'

"Heh! By doing so, Hiram would easily believe what you said. Anyway, would you give me your

payment for these messages first?" Sid said. He thought, 'I sent about forty or fifty fake messages.

They should sum up to about forty or fifty thousand dollars!'

Lydia rigidly glanced at Sid and said,"You don't have to worry. When this matter is done, I will give you

100, 000 dollars."

"Well, I think that's not a great idea. I was hoping that you could give me some money first. Could you

be a little more truthful to our agreement?" Sid said after being discouraged at what Lydia had

responded.

He pondered, 'This was my last chance to get money from her. If I won't ask her for money, I could get

away with nothing!'

Lydia listened to Sid's words and grew a little impatient. So she took out two thousand dollars from her

handbag, put them on the table and said,"I was very in a hurry to go out today so that I didn't have time

to bring much money with me. Please take two thousand dollars first. I'll pay you the rest next time."

Sid stared at the money and thought, 'Was this all I got? However, this was better than nothing.'

Sid got the money and hid them in his pocket. He thought 'At least this was good enough for me to be

able to buy a ticket.'

Back in the room where Hiram and Chad was,"Hmm, Hiram. It seems that they are about to leave..."

Chad said. Hiram was sitting in a chair with his eyes slightly closed. Faced with such a situation, Chad

did not know what to do.

Hiram slowly opened his eyes, looked at the time and thought, 'It was not yet too late to go home now.'

"Send someone to follow Sid. Make sure that you won't let him get away. Keep him alive." Hiram

warned firmly. Then Hiram stood up and waited for Lydia and Sid to leave the other room before he

stepped outside.

At the Tulip Palace, Rachel looked at the time and saw that it was already 6:50. She got herself

thinking, 'Hiram would be back around 7 o'clock, wouldn't he?

The doctor advised him to rest for at least a month. Even though Hiram wanted to go out for relaxation, Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

he had been out all afternoon already. He should be coming home soon.'

As Rachel wandered around the villa, she noticed a familiar Maybach approaching.

The car stopped. Hiram got out of the car, looked at Rachel with a smile, and said,"Honey, sorry. I

arrived a little late."

Rachel, concerned about her husband, walked hurriedly toward him. She carefully checked Hiram if he

was feeling okay. She felt relieved when she saw that he was fine. "Tell me the truth. What were you

doing the whole afternoon? Where were you?

I asked Ben. He said that you didn't go to work today."

Rachel said without waiting for Hiram to response.

Hiram simply put his arm around Rachel's shoulder, walked toward the house together. "I didn't go to

work today, Honey. I walked around for a while. I met an old friend, we had a chat so I lost track of time.

Forgive me if I stayed out a little longer."

Rachel looked at Hiram suspiciously and said,"I won't ask you what you did this time, but you are not

allowed to go out again until next week. If our parents knew about this matter, they will surely blame

me..."

"I see, honey." Hiram approached Rachel. He smiled at her, sweetly kissed her cheek and put his arm

around her shoulder as they entered the door.

After dinner, Rachel replaced the dressing of the wound for Hiram. Afterward, she kept all the

company's documents away and advised him to go to bed early.

"Honey, we discuss this matter again. Tomorrow, Ben will be coming to take one of those documents,

so I have to read it tonight. I promise that I'll only read that one." Hiram looked at Rachel with a smile

and said it to her in a mild tone.

Rachel moved the stack of documents to the sofa, took out the one and asked Hiram,"Is this one?"

"Well, let me have a look. I promise that it won't take more than twenty minutes." Hiram said softly.

"Oh." Rachel stretched out her hands and pretended to throw it at Hiram. He stood ready to catch it,

but he got surprised at what Rachel did next.

She suddenly withdrew her hands, took the cushion to lean on the sofa, browsed that document,

glanced at Hiram and said,"I have the right to review and sign this document since I am your wife, don't

I?"

Hiram was startled. His confused look turned into a smile as he said,"Of course, you have the right to

review and sign this document."

At the moment, Hiram thought, 'By then, I should be able to make a public statement for this signature.'

"I think it's pretty easy to deal with this matter. If you have any important documents, allow me to read

them for you. By doing so, you won't have to keep your head down a lot every day. I want to help you,

honey." Rachel said. Rachel turned a page and continued to read it.

Rachel looked at it carefully. When she had trouble in understanding two words, she stood up, laid

down beside Hiram and asked,"What do these two words mean?"

Hiram glanced at Rachel with a smile, put his arm around her shoulder, looked through the pages

quickly and explained to her,"These two words mean shorthand terms for a type of a landmark

building."

"Oh, I remembered that I had seen it in books before. Since I have never done such a project for a long

time, I forget..." Rachel engagingly said as she turned another page to read.

Hiram was feeling happy as he looked at Rachel. He smiled for he knew Rachel was really worried

about him this time.

He suddenly looked back, 'In the past, I often brought similar documents home, but she would usually

just take a look at it, yawn and say that she was dazed by reading the clauses. She had no interest in

reading them at all.

But at this moment, she carefully read them line by line with patience. This looked pretty good.'

"After reading this document, I gathered five points to be able to discuss this with you. You only need to

look at these five points..." About half an hour later, Rachel was able to explain them to Hiram one by

one.

Hiram focused on the five points and discovered that Rachel was good at making a thorough synopsis

on the document.

However, he noticed one of them needed to be adjusted. He marked it so he could ask Ben to revise it

tomorrow.

"Well, Mr. Hiram, do you have anything else to do? If all is done and ready, we shall go to bed." Rachel

put the documents back to the study to make sure they won't get lost.

"All is well at work. But, you know, there are more important personal affairs. Honey, I want to make

love with you." Hiram looked at Rachel with bright eyes and smiled.
