Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 61

Rachel hesitated for a second and then replied to Albert.

"Yes, things happened really fast, and we didn't even have the time to throw a wedding. But the truth remains the same, and I am married." She told him as the whole thing went through her mind.

They were registered as a couple before leaving the hospital, and it was indeed in a rush.

Albert tried hard to find something to say that would cover his emotion. He finally managed to say "Congratulations to you, both of you. Even though you are married now, you cannot change the fact that we are from the same college. I certainly hope that you haven't forgotten what you have promised me, that we will go back to our college together this Sunday."

Rachel had forgotten about their plan. She had got so many things to do these days that it totally skipped from her mind.

"I almost forgot about that, thank you for reminding me! Of course, we would go back to our college on Sunday. We will meet at the gate."

"Albert, come here please, let's have some fun. I'm getting bored!" Asked one of the girls who had come with him. She couldn't wait anymore, so she came over and grabbed his arm in her hands.

Rachel stood up before Albert could reply. "Go and have fun! I shall go and join Hiram now."

Albert wanted to stay with Rachel, but he felt he had no reason now. Shit happened as always.

'You meet a nice person, and you want to settle down. But everything changes, ' Albert thought to himself.

Rachel went to the empty sofa and sat down.

Her stomach started grumbling as she saw the fruits served on the table in front of her. As she kept shoving fruits into her mouth, she saw a waiter passing the microphone to Hiram.

She was so surprised that she forgot to swallow. Was he going to sing a song?

Luke came over and sat beside her. Seeing her mouth wide open, he couldn't help laughing and asked, "You don't need to feel surprised. Your husband is a gifted singer, don't you know that?"

Rachel shook her head.

There's no such thing as perfection in this world, she thought. Lots of big and successful men were tone deaf. As the saying goes, no one is perfect.

Her thought was interrupted by Luke's loud laughter. He passed a cup of water to her and said, "There are lots of things about Hiram that you don't know about. Keep listening to me carefully; I will tell you all of them.

In college, Hiram was not only the most handsome and smartest guy in our class, but he also had the voice of an angel. When someone was forming a band, he asked him to be the lead singer, but no matter what he said, Hiram just kept refusing.

Later, the boy who had formed the band became the lead singer. The result is that he became quite popular and is a big star now! As I learned, a few years later, he got in touch with Hiram and asked him to act in his music video. As expected, Hiram declined his offer. But that big star didn't give up, and he kept calling him again and again."

As she listened to the story, Rachel kept her eyes fixed on Hiram. He looked as good as always while singing. His moves and gestures were undesigned and natural.

Yes, he had the voice of nature. Once he began to sing, the whole room was quiet.

Except for Luke's voice.

He kept on talking.

"Hiram still didn't accept his offer, and he insisted that he was not available. At last, the star invited all our classmates to a hotel and threw a party. All he had done was to convince Hiram to appear in the music video."

Rachel listened without a word upto that point, but as she grew more curious she whispered to Luke, "What happened then? Did he agree?"

If Hiram had still declined, it would have been very awkward. They were classmates, and he was asked to appear in a music video, not to do something that was against the law.

Luke sipped the beer in his hand and continued, "Yes, he agreed finally!

Apparently, the shooting went on smoothly. You know, Hiram looks great on camera, and of course, all the female staff on the set were attracted to him!"

"Really? What is the title of that video? I would love to watch it myself." Rachel asked excitedly.

But Luke sighed in pity, "The video was shot well, but things went downhill afterward. It never reached the public eye."

"Why? What went wrong after overcoming so many hurdles?" Rachel thought that it was ridiculous. That star had done what he could, but still, the video didn't reach his audiences.

"During the shooting, the female protagonist of that video fell head over heels in love with Hiram. Every day, she desperately followed him wherever he went round the clock. It seemed as if she had lost her mind.

Hiram forbade them to release the video out of anger. Our big star had no choice but to shoot another one instead."

After hearing this puzzling story, Rachel felt pitiful, and she asked Luke stealthily, "Did you watch it? Do you have a copy? Can you send me one? I cannot wait to watch it."

Looking at her curious face, Luke chuckled and said, "Of course, I certainly did save a copy. If you like, I will send it to you once I reach home. Here is the deal though, you must delete it after watching, and it shouldn't be spread around!"

Rachel nodded her head several times. She was curious to see how Hiram looked like in the video. She assumed he must have looked like a mesmerizing star.

Besides, she also wondered what kind of plot had been used in the video that made the heroine fall madly in love with him.

"Because of this unhappy experience, Hiram decided not to do any interviews, as he doesn't want to get into such troubles again." Luke added. But the truth was, whether Hiram liked or not, his status and appearance ascertained that he would easily win the heart of women, and it had nothing to do with publicity.

When he finished his song, Hiram threw the microphone in his hands towards Luke! It was worth over 10, 000.

To add to the insanity, Luke jumped to dodge it without looking at him and then sniggered at him from a distance. Being friends for such long a time, he precisely knew what Hiram would do without thinking.

"Where are you going? Come and take a seat. Let's see who wins!"

Hiram shouted at Luke as he was walking away from him. He then approached Rachel and sat next to her.

Rachel put a piece of apple into her mouth with a fork and turned to look at Luke pitifully.

Luke coughed and reluctantly sat opposite Hiram. His face was no longer as calm as earlier, and he began to wonder what Hiram would do to him. Apparently he had pissed off the wrong person.

"What are you guys playing? Let me in on the game, please?" Hearing the sounds they made, Albert came over and said. It seemed interesting.

There were three dice boxes, each for one person. The rule was simple, and the one who got more dots won.

Rachel wanted to play too, but she had no idea of what they were betting and what would happen to the one who lost. So, she just sat beside Hiram and watched.

The three of them began to shake their boxes and then put them on the table almost at the same time.

"Can I open the boxes for you?" Rachel finally found something to do. She got up hurriedly and started to read their dots from left to right.

The first one was Albert's. He raised his cute face and looked at Rachel steadfastly. Like a gentleman, he moved back with a smile and waited until she told him.

"Four, that's not bad, " Rachel said, and she leaned over to see what Luke had got. But to her surprise, Luke refused to remove his hands off the box. It seemed he didn't intend to let anyone know.

Rachel couldn't help bursting into a laugh, "My dear lawyer, you're going too far! It is only a game, what could you lose anyway?"

Hiram stared at him and forced him to let his hands off. Rachel took a look at his dice and laughed even louder.

One?

Ha Ha Ha. No wonder Luke wanted to hide this.

Hiram smiled with the corner of his mouth twitched as if he knew what Luke would get. Even back in their student time, Luke always got the least.

In the end, Rachel opened Hiram's box and it was six.

"Wow, here you go, great!" Rachel looked at the dice and then at Hiram astoundingly.

Hiram accepted her compliment. He grabbed her waist making her sit back and whispered to her, "Yes, I am quite a good player at many games, and I can show you in future one by one, just wait and watch!"

After saying so, Hiram turned his head from her and looked at Luke.

Luke lowered his head, and he realized that he shouldn't have said a word about Hiram earlier. Or he should have told the stories to Rachel when Hiram was not around. He knew rather well how much Hiram hated people gossiping about him.

"Take your clothes off!"

"Ah?"

"What?"

Hearing Hiram's words, Rachel and Albert both said the same word at the same time. What did he mean?

Whereas Luke was silent, he took off his shirt obediently, and that was the only thing he was wearing above his waist.

But Hiram continued, "I didn't say stop. Go on!"

Following his orders, Luke took off his shoes and was going for his pants. He looked around, and there were many beautiful girls present, he gazed at Hiram mournfully and said.

"My dear friend, can I keep my underpants on? You see, your wife is also here."

Rachel held her smile on hearing his words and closed her eyes cooperatively. To show her sincerity, she also turned her head around.

All the girls present in the room began screaming loudly.

As one scream fell and another rose, Rachel felt a sort of regret. She couldn't see a damn thing with closed eyes.

She couldn't help herself from opening her eyes. But her head was pressed on Hiram's chest by his hand, and he spoke softly in her ear.

"If you want to see what a man's body looks like, it would be my pleasure to show you mine. As soon as we get home … …"
