Such a Rude and Noisy Woman

Chapter 31 I Will Sign It

Those words sounded like there was something wrong. Why would a woman call his parents father and

mother if she was not his wife?

Hiram kept quiet and thought about what Rachel said for a few seconds. "About my previous question,

give me your final answer now."

He didn't start the engine right away, but instead, rolled down the window on his side. After he put a

cigarette in his mouth and lighted it, he finally turned his head to Rachel.

"I will sign it! It will be the first thing I do when I get home." Rachel replied briskly. After that, if he had

any other woman beside him, Rachel would go to her new mother-in-law to ask for help.

Hiram took the cigarette out of his mouth, tapped the steering wheel lightly and said, "She was adopted

by my parents. My parents wanted a daughter but failed to have one. So, they adopted Lydia when she

was ten years old."

As he mentioned Lydia's name, his face looked a bit helpless.

At this moment, Rachel admitted that she knew nothing about Hiram's family at all. "Ohhh." Rachel said

reluctantly. "You have got many sisters to look after - your friend's sister and your adopted sister.

Maybe your parents have arranged her to be your future wife since then. You have a lot of choices in

front of you, but why did you bother marrying me?"

She thought about Lydia. Lydia was a beautiful name, indeed. Though Rachel had no idea how to spell

it.

Future wife.

Hiram had heard the two words countless times since he was still a little boy. Almost all people talked

about it. As time passed by, the idea of Lydia being Hiram's future wife was firmly instilled in Lydia's

mind. She really thought that she would marry her older brother one day.

"Stop talking about that nonsense! She is my younger sister and will be my younger sister forever. No

one can break the family rules, and no one will commit incest." He said in his low voice while he started

the car.

"Really? Is there really nothing to worry about? Okay, then. I will go to your parents with you tonight.

Your mom really cooks good. And the thought of tasting her delicious food again makes my mouth

water!" Rachel looked at him quietly after she spoke.

She felt that there was something Hiram did not mention to her.

His friend's sister, maybe, was just really his friend's sister that he should protect on that occasion.

But when he spoke about Lydia, there was something in Hiram's eyes that Rachel could not

understand.

"Ok... Let's go together." She didn't expect that Hiram would agree with her idea.

She initially thought Hiram would refuse, but he didn't.

Rachel was a bit shock by his answer. She then shook her head and immediately said, "Forget about it.

It is your family gathering. I don't think it is a good idea for me to show up!"

Just after she said those words, her phone rang again. It was Hiram's mom.

Speaking of the devil.

Rachel took a deep breath and answered the phone. "Hello, mom?"

"My dear Rachel, come here with Hiram tonight and let's have dinner. His younger sister just came

back from abroad. Let's all gather here!" Joanna excitedly said.

Joanna intended to call his son first. However, she knew that Rachel was with Hiram that time. So, she

thought for a while and called Rachel instead.

"Mom, please listen. I... Okay." Rachel wanted to refuse but she couldn't say it. She hung the phone up

and looked at Hiram, "Is your mom a fortune-teller? How does she know that you are with me now?"

Hiram mysteriously smiled at her, "Yes, you're right. She always knows where I am. She knows

everything that is happening around me. She even exactly knows when I eat and what I eat."

What a weird family were they!

Rachel deeply pondered, 'How can a mother know her son so well, like he was in her own hands?'

It turned out that Joanna and Gavin were the same - they fooled everybody. They pretended to be kind

and nice to people, but they were actually hard to deal with.

Rachel couldn't decide what she should do next.

She happened to encounter such a complicated family, could she ever survive?

After they arrived, she unfastened her seatbelt and said, "Stop. Just stop here. Let me get out now so

you can do what you need to do. By the way, you don't need to pick me up tonight. I can go to your

parents' place by myself."

Hiram realized that they were at the largest shopping mall in H City. Hiram was puzzled and asked her,

"What are you doing here?"

She had to work that day. Thus, it was impossible for her to go to the mall at such an early hour.

"Our sales team has been left behind recently. This is the largest mall in our city, so I come here to

check what is happening and what else I can do. I will just see you tonight."

Rachel answered his question without any hesitation. She then opened the door to get out.

After she got out of the car, Rachel immediately called the sales promotion manager of the mall. "Hello,

is that Mr. Sun? Do you have a minute? Can I please talk with you?"

Hiram didn't leave right away but sat in his car for a while. While grabbing the steering wheel, he made

a phone call and watched her walk away.

That woman didn't need to work. All she should do was watching TV shows, going to yoga sessions or

going shopping.

However, she never wanted to stay at home and do nothing.

Even if she had experienced the terrible incident last night, she showed up to work the next day with

full energy. Hiram had thought she would just stay at home for a couple of days to rest, but he was

wrong.

She was just like the hibiscus in sunshine. Hibiscus cannot catch your eyes at first sight. They like

living in the wild freely without any disturb, and so did her. Moreover, she had a unique personality and

dignity, which made her stand out from the other flowers.

It seemed that Hiram was getting more and more interested in that hibiscus.

"Mr. Sun, this is Rachel. Hello! Hello?"

The phone was hung up, which made her feel very frustrated. She had just taken a few days off, and it

seemed like no one remembered who she was!

Nonetheless, she had to wait and see what fortune she could get.

However, things went on beyond her imagination.

Ten minutes later, Mr. Sun appeared at the door and invited her to go inside.

His attitude had totally changed, and granted Rachel's request. Rachel was very happy to finish her

task smoothly though she felt quite shocked.

Rachel returned to her company before she went to Rong family's house.

Celine and her other workmates also came back one by one. They held a meeting to discuss what they

had done today. Finally, things were getting better.

Rachel explained the plan to her teammates and instructed them to watch their own areas carefully. As

long as they followed the plan, they were already half way to their goal.

But, they didn't know that Team B also had their meeting at the room next to theirs.

"What? Mr. Zhang didn't fulfil his promise!" Sandy shouted at her teammates angrily. Her finely made-

up face twisted in anger.

For the sake of promotion, and to compete for the best sales performance, she exhausted all her

efforts. How could Mr. Zhang not fulfil what he had promised her?

"Sandy, we all know Rachel's abilities. When she presented her plan, we already knew that it was far

better than ours. Apparently, Mr. Zhang is smart enough to share the same thought with us." One of the

team members told the truth without hiding anything.

Another member held her arm and asked, "What are you talking about? Rachel is nothing but a mere

puppet. She relied on a superior to do all those things. That superior is from the same hometown as

Rachel. She is nothing compared to Sandy!"

Sandy ignored them, she left their office and quickly walked towards the rest room.

She then called Mr. Zhang. "Hello, Mr. Zhang. How could you act like that? You are really breaking my

heart." She wept and whined, "What did Rachel give you? Why would you do what she told you?"

"You cannot blame me! I got my own supervisors that are always watching me. Our sales performance

is declining. Your plan just works for a little while, but Rachel's plan can make things better. How could I

refuse her?"

"But Mr. Zhang, couldn't you think of any other ways to help me?" Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"That's enough! Please do not call me again. People can't find out what is going on between the two of

us!" Mr. Zhang heartlessly hung the phone up

"Hello, Mr. Zhang? Hello!" Sandy's face turned hideous. She stampeded her high heels angrily.

Then suddenly, Somebody knocked on the rest room's door. The door was opened and Rachel walked

in. Rachel stood in front of the mirror and adjusted her dress. "Sandy, listen to me. You have a family.

Please behave yourself."

"Ah! What a joke! Did you find a man to marry you? Who gave you the courage to talk to me like that? I

don't need your advices!"

Rachel's face made Sandy shiver in anger.

Rachel washed her hands gently, and took a napkin to dry them. "Sandy, I am in control of myself. It is

not up to you who and when will I marry. What do you think your husband will do if he finds out what

you have done? Think about it."

"You… What do you want?" Sandy's face turned pale. She understood what Rachel talked about.

"What do I want? I will just give you a little advice. Work is important, but it's still far less important than

your family. You shall figure this out by yourself." Then, Rachel turned around and walked out of the

rest room.

Sandy was too eager to get promoted. She even put away her dignity and did things with her eyes

closed. She was blinded by the benefits and triumph. But she would surely ruin herself in the end.

Rachel didn't see Sandy's hideous face while walking out of the rest room. It seemed like Sandy was

thinking about swallowing her alive.

It was getting dark when she walked out of the company.

Rachel looked at her watch and saw that it was late. She thought of what she promised to Joanna.

Then she took her phone and tried to call for a taxi.

"Hmm. Taxi.."

But not so long, a nice, black Maybach pulled over in front of her.
