Chapter 77 She Should Have Asked For More Bride-price
"It was easy to guess. Of course, there is no problem. In the small company where you worked, yours
is the most competent team. If all of you leave that company at once, it is bound to go bankrupt soon."
Hiram said as if he had foreseen everything.
"I have a proposal. Would you like to hear it?"
Rachel nodded, she was eager to hear the proposal.
"How about I offer funds to help you set up a company of your own. My company handles plenty of
businesses. Some of them are trivial, so they don't need the attention and involvement of many people.
But nevertheless, they have to be done. I think you people would be suitable to do those tasks."
Hiram said calmly.
Some important clients were dependent on their company, so many tasks, big and small, were thrown
in their charge. The relatively smaller tasks were too easy for them. They were supposed to do the
challenging tasks. However, the small ones also had to be done.
If there existed a team like Rachel's, it could get them out of this dilemma and could save a lot of time
for them.
Rachel thought about that proposal for a moment and considered it workable. But then she worried, "If
we branch out on our own, what if something goes wrong and we can't..."
"Objectively speaking, you'll still be the employees of my company. I will bear the responsibility if
anything goes wrong. So you don't need to worry about anything."
Hiram said with full confidence.
Besides, if she were made a leader, there would be gossip in the company, and he wouldn't be able to
control it. Then Hiram wouldn't be able to manage his employees well. But if she ran a company of her
own, no one would gossip about her.
Rachel marveled at Hiram's ability, 'The decisiveness of this man and his competence to come up with
an idea in an instant couldn't be equaled by ordinary people.'
She just mentioned it casually. She hadn't mentioned this before at all. But Hiram managed to cook up
a perfect idea in such a short time.
Rachel picked up a piece of roast meat and hurled it into her mouth. Then she stared at Hiram, "Well,
are we going to find an office room outside the company?"
Hiram shook his head.
"Don't bother. There is an empty office room in the company building. The room is large. I was planning
to rent it out. Now you could use it. I will register a separate company for you. You could also adopt the
joint stock system. You are free to decide what you want."
But there was one thing that Hiram didn't mention.
That office was right under his office room. It would be very convenient for her to see Hiram.
Rachel felt it necessary to think over this idea. This was undoubtedly in her best interest because that
way she could earn more money than she did with her present job. Besides, it would give her more
freedom. She wouldn't take orders from her superiors like the manager and the director anymore.
"Alright, I will discuss with them later. I'll go to your company and have a look when I'm free." She said
after a moment of thought.
After all, it wasn't a small decision for the entire Team A to resign. It would take time to deal with it.
"OK. Set this topic aside. We should eat now." Hiram said while picking another piece of toast meat for
Rachel.
After lunch, Rachel went back to the hospital.
Joanna had already left.
When Rachel saw Fannie sleeping, she just looked at her and got out of the ward without waking her
up.
"On such a hot day, people prefer to take a nap, that includes your mom too. Let's go. It is rare for me
to take three days off. Now let's go home and take a nap together for a while!" Hiram was waiting
outside the ward. When he saw Rachel come out, he held her hand and went towards the exit.
"But you have to promise me that you will only sleep. You can't do anything else!" Rachel's hand was
gripped by Hiram, and she was being dragged forward. She saw him walking in a hurry and thought,
'He didn't finish that thing this morning. Will he do it again?'
Hiram raised his eyebrows and said nothing. He pulled Rachel into the car that Carl had already parked
there.
Carl drove them back to the villa.
"Hiram...... Aren't you tired?"
As soon as Rachel lay on the bed, Hiram lowered his body over her. He curved his lips with mischief,
"No. On the contrary, I am excited now!"
"But I am not in the mood for sex!" She didn't want to be exhausted by having sex with Hiram.
"It will take almost a year for your mother to recover from the illness completely. Are you going to forbid
me to sleep with you during that time?" Hiram said in a grim tone, his hand gently pinching Rachel on NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
her soft cheek.
"However, Hir......" Before Rachel finished her words, her red lips were pressed against Hiram's with an
irresistible force.
Rachel gave a resigned smile, 'He didn't plan to rest at all.
All he wants is to satisfy his lust!'
The sex lasted until four p.m. Rachel slept for only one hour. It was five p.m. already.
Rachel got up from the bed. She was going to the hospital to visit her mom. Otherwise, what would her
mom think of her?
Rachel was Fannie's only child. Now Fannie was getting treatment at the hospital. If Rachel didn't
attend to her in the hospital, Fannie would think of her as a disobedient daughter.
Rachel got off the bed to get dressed. Then she was driven by anger, and she pulled the quilt off of
Hiram's body.
"Hiram, I......"
"What's the matter?" Hiram sat up on the bed and stared at Rachel squatting on the ground. When he
saw her trembling legs, he asked in confusion, "What happened? Why do you look so scared?"
However, in response, Rachel just glared at Hiram with anger. 'It's not fear or concern that makes my
legs tremble!' she thought.!
Hiram's prowess was surprisingly good. This was the first time when he got to satisfy his lust in the last
thirty years. So one could imagine how much of the overwhelming pressure she had to take!
Hiram then realized that Rachel's condition was caused by his doing. So he immediately got off the bed
to take her in his arms. Hiram took Rachel back into the bed, "Now you can't walk. So don't go to the
hospital. Otherwise, if your mother saw you look like this, how would I explain this to her?"
"I will inform the nurse to tell your mom that you can't come to the hospital. Don't worry. I will take you
to see her tomorrow morning!"
Rachel looked at Hiram with resentment. She pursed her lips and said, "Hiram, let's make a deal. We
only have sex once a day. In return, I will do whatever you ask me to do. Is that alright?"
"......"
Hiram wanted to promise her, but he knew that he wouldn't be able to keep the promise.
At least he wouldn't be able to follow what Rachel asked this year.
Some things once tried, were difficult to quit, just like drug addiction.
"How about this? I will give you a massage this evening to relax your body. Then you would feel better
tomorrow." Hiram changed the topic, disregarding Rachel's suggestion.
Rachel looked frustrated. She knew that Hiram had dismissed her request.
No wonder Hiram had given her the 100 million dollars so willingly!
Rachel suddenly thought that she should have asked more bride-price than one hundred million
dollars.
Now Rachel had to have sex with Hiram quite often. She regretted that she hadn't asked for more
bride-price.

"Mom, are you feeling better now?"
It was evening time, Rachel was still worried about her mother, so she called Fannie.
Although Hiram didn't allow her to go to the hospital, Rachel was still worried about her mom. Even
though Hiram had hired care workers for her mom, the workers didn't have a relationship with Fannie.
"Rachel, everything is fine. I had the intravenous drip just now. I am going to sleep." The way Fannie
spoke made it obvious that she had recovered a bit.
"Mom, I'm sorry that I didn't come to see you."
Rachel said with guilt.
"Rachel, you are my daughter. I know exactly how you feel. I heard that Hiram purposely took three
days off for you after he came back from a business trip. He did that to keep you company." Fannie
said with delight. She continued after a second, "He took time from his busy schedule at work only to
accompany you. That precisely indicates how much he cares for you. So you must accompany Hiram
with hearted devotion. If you still feel sorry for me, you'd better hurry up and give me a grandchild.
Then all my illness will be gone!"
Rachel listened, muttering in her mind.
She also wished to have a baby as soon as possible. In that way, she wouldn't have to bear the
endless 'torture' for at least ten months.
But......
Hiram was cunning. He was prudent with birth control. He said that he wouldn't make Rachel pregnant
for at least one year.
Hiram had just started to relish the sweetness of sex. He wouldn't let it go so quickly.
After the call with Fannie, Rachel got up from the massage bed. The woman masseuse said that
Rachel could only start the second round after twenty minutes of absorption. Rachel felt her neck was a
little sore from lying.
Rachel lifted the curtain and peeked outside. That place was only for women. All the masseuses over
there were women too. So there was no need to worry about security.
"Hey! I heard a breaking news just now! I was told that Hiram Rong would come here tonight!"
Rachel heard three customers lying on the massage beds and two masseuses standing beside them
were discussing Hiram ardently. She pricked up her ears to listen carefully to their conversation.
