Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 56

"Well, now that you've become a rich woman, I need details. How do you feel after becoming rich all of a sudden? Do you feel like you're in a dream? Do you suddenly have a superiority complex?"

In the suite, Hiram was standing in front of the French window while wearing a Bluetooth headset.

There was a secret system inside Streams Garden which the outsiders didn't know about. It was designed to guard against any problems caused by the company's enemies. Through that system, any communication could be intercepted and any phone calls could be monitored.

And after the terrible thing that had happened to Rachel last time, Hiram had installed a software on her phone that allowed him to easily listen in on any of her phone calls.

He smiled grimly. He was surprised to know that Rachel had an adviser whom she could turn to.

But these two women were no match for him.

He wouldn't be Hiram Rong if everyone could figure him out so easily.

"I don't think so. Hiram is not a simple man. I've tried to understand what's going on in his mind, but I failed, " Rachel said over the phone as she walked. Even at this moment, Rachel had no idea what Hiram was thinking. She threw the shell into the sea.

"He's like the sea in front of me. He's nice, and sometimes quiet. But so many secrets are hidden in the sea."

"Rachel, why are you thinking so much about this? It will be great as long as he treats you well. Why do you insist on trying to understand him?" Celine had always believed that it would be better not to try to understand something difficult or unreachable.

Rachel sat on the sand beach and watched the red sun slowly disappear from the sky. Holding up a hand to shade her from the glaring light, she said, "If we like someone, we should try to understand them, right?

If I have to live together with him my whole life, both of us will get tired of all the secrets we hide from each other."

Hiram heard everything that she said.

He looked out of the French window pensively, fixing his eyes on Rachel, who was sitting in front of the sea. He continued standing there for a while.

When Rachel finally came back to the suite, Hiram had already gone out for his business meeting.

He didn't return until well after Rachel had gone to bed. At midnight, Hiram pulled her into his arms. Although he did it a bit roughly, he didn't do anything else to disturb her.

When she woke up, Rachel found that Hiram had already gotten up and left.

She sent a message to Hiram and learned that he had a very tight schedule that day, and that he had asked Anya to be Rachel's guide for the day.

After a short while, Anya brought Rachel to breakfast. She told Rachel that she was taking her to look around the city before they went to the spa.

Rachel felt like she was in a dream.

The women took the private sightseeing bus and visited many places in the city.

"We can enjoy the scenery first. There are many other interesting places where we can have fun, and we should save them for the evening."

Anya was easy-going and friendly. She talked frankly with Rachel and tried to express whatever she was thinking in an open and honest way. They had a good time together.

Since Rachel was also a straightforward person, she got along well with Anya.

"Anya, thank you." Rachel kept smiling the whole way. When the car crossed a palm tree and the summer wind blew past them, Rachel sighed in happiness.

Anya smiled and fiddled with her long blonde hair. "To tell you the truth, if you weren't Hiram's wife, I wouldn't have come out with you. You're the first woman that Hiram has brought here, so I have to treat you well."

Smiling, Rachel asked, "Really? I'm the only woman to come here with him? Didn't he bring his ex-girlfriends here?"

"He's never had a girlfriend before, only female friends like me, " Anya replied without thinking too much. Her bright, blue eyes made her look exotic and charming while she smiled.

Rachel was confused. "That's impossible. He's a famous and successful young man. I think a lot of women have a crush on him."

Rachel knew that many women would be fascinated by such a wealthy and good-looking man like Hiram.

"Plenty of women like him. I chased him too, but he didn't have any feelings for me. So we're friends now!" Anya said, remembering the days when she chased Hiram crazily. She had had to give up on him eventually and accept the fact that her feelings would never be reciprocated. She shrugged her shoulders and said, "Maybe it's because you don't know that he's a very special man. He..."

Anya suddenly stopped speaking.

"Special? Why he is special?" Rachel asked curiously.

Anya blinked at her with a guilty expression in her blue eyes. She shook her head and replied, "Nothing. I mean he's a unique and special man."

There was a secret about Hiram that Anya had sworn never to tell others about. Otherwise, she could never get a boyfriend.

Of course Hiram was special, but to Rachel, it seemed like Anya had meant something more.

She realized that Anya was keeping a secret, but she didn't probe since she knew that Anya wouldn't tell her anyway.

In the afternoon, Anya took her out to go shopping. Rachel tried on many styles of clothing she had never worn before, like princess dresses and revealing outfits.

She had a lot of fun trying them on, But she didn't intend to buy any of them.

They were too expensive. Even though she had a lot of money now, she couldn't adapt to an extravagant lifestyle just yet.

But Anya was confused and wondered why Rachel didn't buy them. At last, she took the liberty of selecting more than ten sets of clothes for Rachel, not including hats, shoes and bags.

When Rachel saw that Anya was about to pay for all of them, she intervened and immediately took out her own purse.

However, Anya stopped her and told her that all of Rachel's purchases were made in Hiram's name, so she didn't have to use her own money.

Rachel began to think about the possibilities. She could buy so many things that day without spend any of the one hundred million dollars that Hiram had given her.

She spent the whole day living extravagantly. When she finally returned to the Streams Garden, it was late at night.

She saw a pair of leather shoes placed near the door when she reached the suite, which probably meant that Hiram was back.

It was dim inside the room. Rachel had no idea whether he was asleep or not.

She had gone with Anya to see the night scene, so it was already 11 o'clock now.

"Excuse me. Miss Anya asked me to bring these things to you." The server then pushed a trolley piled with clothes towards the door.

Rachel asked him to be gentle. She then softly carried the things into the room and put them in the closet.

She poked her head towards the bedroom and found that it was dark inside. It seemed that he was really asleep.

She believed that he must be exhausted after having such a busy day.

She fetched a nightdress with narrow straps from the closet before taking a shower. After that, she walked out of the bathroom.

After entering the bedroom, she softly locked the door.

She was starting to feel very guilty.

In the past, she'd only focused on her work without ever enjoying life. Today, she had taken the opportunity to have a good time, but she had overspent.

And while she was spending money, Hiram was busy earning money, which made her feel really guilty.

"You're back."

The white bedside lamp was suddenly turned on as Rachel approached the bed.
