Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 120

Shirley lowered her head without saying anything.

Seeing that things weren't going as expected, Miranda grabbed Shirley's hand and dragged her away from Hiram. "Please don't be mad at a little girl. We're leaving right now, " she said. "And Carl, Take care of yourself. We'll visit you later."

Miranda dragged Shirley towards the door. She wanted to get out of there as soon as possible before Shirley said something that would make things even worse.

Shirley glared at Rachel as she was leaving the ward. If looks could kill, Rachel would be dead already.

"Uh-uh, this little beast isn't tamed yet. You remind me of the first time I met you several years ago." Daniel took a step forward, blocking Rachel from Shirley's sight.

"It's all my fault, Mr. Zhuo. Please excuse us. See you, " Miranda said with a sincere smile on her face. She finally managed to drag Shirley out.

Silence returned to Carl's ward when they left. Everyone in the room felt a little awkward.

"I'm going back to my ward. See you later, Carl, " Rachel said, breaking the silence. She turned around and walked to the door.

Seeing her leave, Daniel passed the bouquet to her. "Wait a second. Here, I bought you some flowers on my way here. Please take them to your ward. They may bring you good luck."

Rachel took the bouquet and said, "Thank you. It's so sweet of you." Then, she left the ward.

Chad coughed to clear the awkward silence. He took the things they had brought for Carl and laid them out on the table.

After returning to her ward, Rachel threw the bouquet onto the table. She climbed onto the bed and sat there with her arms around her knees, deep in thought.

A few minutes later, the door opened and Hiram came in.

"Okay, let's get over this. Shirley has talked like this since she was a little girl. Don't be mad at her, and don't take her seriously, " said Hiram. He walked to her and pulled a chair over to sit down.

Rachel didn't move. She looked directly ahead even though there was nothing to see. All of a sudden, she reached out for the bouquet and started tearing the flowers. She said coldly, "Don't you know? Every woman who has a crush on you takes me as a thorn in the flesh. Do they all have to hate me? How many enemies do I have then?"

Rachel ripped the bud from one of the flowers in her hands. The flower was beautiful, and there was nothing wrong with it. But since it would die away sooner or later, she thought it was okay to vent out her anger this way.

Watching her tear the flower apart, Hiram couldn't help but laugh. On their way to the hospital, Daniel said that it wouldn't look good to come here empty-handed. Since there was a flower store on the way, he had bought the bouquet.

Little did he know that his flowers would be used by Rachel to vent out her anger.

He asked Rachel, "What should I do? Let me think it over. Maybe I could scratch my face with a knife. No woman would bother to look at me if I have a scar on my face. What do you think, honey?"

Rachel reached for a pink rose this time and began tearing it. She glanced at him and said, "That does make sense. But I think quite a few women are attracted to your money. As long as you're wealthy, I don't think they'll give you up even if you turn yourself into a monster!"

"If that's what you think, I could give away all my money and scar my entire face, " Hiram teased her. "But how would you feel then? Would you leave me and marry somebody else?"

Rachel burst into laughter. She couldn't imagine his face full of scars. How could such ridiculous things happen! She gathered the flower petals in her hands and threw them at him. "I won't leave you. You have my word! Nobody would dare to marry me except you."

If it was her destiny to be his wife, why should she run away from him? She would accept it.

"You naughty little thing!"

Hiram shook his head with a helpless smile on his face. He brushed the petals off of his hair and said, "I almost forgot. There's something serious I want to talk to you about.

We're building a team for the Cliff Mountain project, and we're going to recruit a few new people for it. I recommended you. So, what do you think? Will you join us?"

Rachel was playing with the flower stem in her hands. Hearing what he said, she raised her head to look at him. "Me? You want me to join your project? Seriously?"

"Right. Since you don't have anything to do at the moment, why don't you join us and learn something new? I believe your studio won't be built up in one day. And even if everything is ready, it may take a while for you to get a client. Come and join us till then, " said Hiram, his eyes shining.

Of course, this wasn't the only reason he wanted her to join them.

He didn't want her to be far from him, at least till the day when she was finally willing to go to the bureau and get registered with him as a couple. There was still time. He would let her do what she wanted to do as long as they got married again.

But Rachel shook her head and said, "No, I'm good at sales. All the jobs I used to do were about sales. I've never touched anything to do with design before and I have no confidence in myself."

"Why don't you give yourself a chance to try? Daniel is in charge of the project, like I mentioned before. You know what he's good at? He's good at exploring people's talents. I believe he'll bring out yours. Trust me, " Hiram explained to her. Frankly speaking, Daniel was a really good asset in this aspect. He had seen what Daniel had achieved in all these years.

Frowning, Rachel asked, "Daniel? Why aren't you taking charge?"

Hiram broke into laughter. He continued to explain patiently.

"You have no idea how many projects Streams Company undertakes at the same time. Take the Cliff Mountain for example, you've learned what it's about, right? I don't remember whether we have a hundred projects like it, but I'm sure we have at least fifty. My job is coordinating all the projects and making sure all of them are completed in time.

Daniel is working for me. Your job is to make a proposal about Cliff Mountain for me together with others. I'll judge whether your proposal is fine and decide whether to use it or not."

In fact, Streams Company was only one of the companies owned by the Rong family. It was the largest and most well-known. But apart from that, they might own nearly a hundred companies, including the branches and subsidiaries. The final decisions made in all these companies was up to Hiram. He was the only one who made the decisions.

So basically, he was always moving.

It was impossible for him to take charge of a single project from beginning to end.

"Yes, yes, you're the boss of everything! But I was planning to go home and visit my mom after I returned from Cliff Mountain. Is there enough time for me to go back?" Rachel sat on the bed with her legs crossed. She had planned to go home and stay with her mom for a couple of days.

"The recruitment will start next Monday. I don't think you'll be busy right from the beginning. So after that, you'll have plenty of time to go home, " Hiram said, standing up from the chair and sitting next to her on the bed.

Still thinking about her plan, Rachel didn't notice him until he came close and put one of his hands on her waist.

She turned her head to say something, but her lips were suddenly covered by his. His lips felt warm against hers.

Hiram held her face tenderly as he kissed her deeply and put his tongue into her mouth. It had been a long time since he touched her last time.

Rachel closed her eyes slowly. She felt like an electric shock was running all over her with every second her lips touched his. She wanted to move but she couldn't. It felt like magic.

"Hiram, shall we have dinner together this evening? Uh-huh, not the right time!"

Unfortunately, the door was suddenly opened by Daniel. When he saw them kissing, he quickly averted his eyes.

"Daniel, did you forget how to knock on the door? I don't mind teaching you, " Hiram hissed at Daniel. He was frustrated that they had been interrupted. It had taken him quite a while to tell her everything. But when the moment of intimacy had finally come, Danie had ended it. How he wanted to punch Daniel!

It had taken a long time for Rachel to accept his intimacy again. It had been hard for him to get through to her.

"I'm sorry for the interruption! I forgot to knock. Maybe I should come in again. This time, I'll remember to knock, " Daniel said mockingly. Feeling embarrassed, Rachel buried her head deep into Hiram's arms. She wasn't going to raise her head as long as Daniel was there.

Hiram pinched her red cheek and murmured, "Don't be shy! I'm your husband. There's nothing wrong in us kissing."

He then turned to Daniel and asked, "What's the matter? We're having dinner together?"

"Yup, I've made a reservation at a fancy restaurant. I've already invited Gary and others. What about you two? Coming with us?" Daniel was leaning against the door frame with his arms crossed and waiting for Hiram's response.

Rachel raised her head immediately when she heard that she could go out to have dinner. She had put the awkwardness of being seen kissing Hiram into outer space. She said with shining eyes, "I'll go with you!"

She had been bored to death for two whole days. She was so desperate to leave and get some fresh air. She was finally getting a chance to go out.

Hiram couldn't take his eyes off Rachel. He told Daniel, "Text me the address. We'll come later. See you then."

"Okay, no problem! See you two!" He turned around and left, remembering to close the door behind him.

After Daniel left, Rachel asked Hiram, puzzled, "Why don't we go there with them now? It's getting late. We need to hurry up."

"We won't be late. It's a long night for them, " Hiram told her. He shifted closer and whispered, "Quiet! Stay with me for a moment. I haven't seen your face clearly for the past few days. I want to see you all the time."

Rachel didn't say anything. After the accident in Cliff Mountain, she didn't want to restrain her feelings. Since she obviously cared about him, why did she make a fuss of pretending she didn't?

She cared about Hiram, she cared about his safety, and she cared about where his heart was.

"Are we good now? Do you forgive me?"

Hiram asked suddenly. They had enjoyed their quiet moment for a while. His low voice echoed in the ward.
