Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 132

Patrick was leaning against the wall at the other end of the hallway. He looked at Rachel with a cigar dangling from his mouth.

It was unexpected for Rachel to hear Patrick's voice here. She turned around and looked at him with surprise. "No, I was just thinking about what a coincidence it is that the studios we rented are so close to each other! Mr. Yan, why are you still in H City?" she asked.

"It is a coincidence. I just flew back today. The work here is in the beginning stage, so I have to come back sometimes to check it. But it seems that our meeting was predestined, " Patrick said slyly with an attractive smile. He didn't approach Rachel immediately, but instead he sized her up from a distance.

Rachel chuckled and tried to ignore the ambiguity in his words.

"Mr. Yan, you're so efficient, " she said, diverting the topic. "Your studio here has started operating so soon!"

"Of course, time is money. How about your studio? Have all your workers arrived?" he asked, extinguishing his cigar and walking towards Rachel.

"Oh, they said they were willing to work for me, but now they're having some difficulty in resigning from their company. I think I'll have to wait for some more time before they can start working here, so I just came here to do some preparatory work now, " said Rachel. As Patrick approached her, Rachel realized that there was a band-aid on his forehead. 'Did his brother attack him again?' she thought.

Noticing the direction of her stare, Patrick subconsciously touched the wound on his forehead and said, "My brother sent people to attack me, but I retaliated against him after I found him."

Preston was still on his sickbed. Patrick would take revenge on the person who had hurt him no matter who he was, even if he was his own father or brother!

He leaned over and put one hand on the wall beside Rachel. Then he grinned and said, "I rarely get to meet you, and it's late. How about we have dinner together?"

Rachel took a step backward and rolled her eyes. Then she pointed at Celine, who was still in the studio. "Sorry, I have an appointment with my friend!" she said with an apologetic smile.

"We can have dinner together. I don't mind." Patrick smiled and moved closer to her deliberately as he spoke.

"Thank you, but I'm sorry. Mr. Yan, I know you're busy. It's better for me not to bother you and take up your time!" Rachel said with a thin smile.

Patrick smacked his lips and said, "I see. It's because Mr. Rong asked you to keep a distance from me, right?"

"No, it's not because of him. I can't make it because I really have something to deal with tonight. Celine, "

Rachel called, seizing the chance. "Celine, we have an appointment tonight to discuss something work-related, right?"

Celine, who had been measuring something in the studio, turned around at the sound of her name and responded, "I have no..."

She was going to say that she had no time that night.

But when she saw Patrick, Celine quickly changed her mind and said, "I have time tonight!"

She walked towards them as she spoke.

"No, Celine, we are planning to talk about work tonight. Did you forget?" Rachel asked with a wink, hoping that Celine would help her turn down Mr. Yan's invitation.

Hiram had already warned her to keep away from Patrick, so having dinner with him was the last thing she wanted to do.

"Beautiful lady, may I have the pleasure of having dinner with you tonight?" Patrick asked Celine, smiling broadly in a way that he knew was attractive to women.

Rachel was about to pull Celine's hand to remind her to answer Patrick carefully, but...

What Celine said could only stir things up!

"Of course you can! Rachel, we can talk about work tomorrow. It's rare for Mr. Yan to invite us to dinner. We can't reject him just like that, right?"

Celine was charmed by Patrick's manly characteristics. She whispered to Rachel, "You already have Hiram. Can't you set me up with Mr. Yan? I beg you."

Rachel was speechless.

"Well, it's settled then! I'm having dinner with two beautiful ladies. Would you mind waiting for me for several minutes?" Patrick's smile deepened as he glanced at Rachel, knowing that she was having misgivings.

Hiram wanted to keep Rachel away from Patrick, but Patrick wasn't going to let things happen the way Hiram wanted. He was deliberately getting closer to Rachel.

"Not at all. Mr. Yan, you can do your work first. We have nothing urgent to deal with, so it's okay for us to wait for you, whether it's one minute or several minutes!" Celine responded quickly with a bright smile on her face.

Watching Patrick walk towards his studio, Rachel grabbed Celine's hand right away and headed to her own studio.

"Celine, do you know what you have done?"

The relationship between Hiram and Patrick was complicated. All in all, Rachel couldn't have close contact with Patrick.

Moreover, as Rachel's friend, Celine couldn't get too close to Patrick either. Otherwise, things between Hiram and Patrick would become more complex.

Celine swung Rachel's arm like a spoiled child who wanted to get something from her parents. "Rachel, can you give me just one chance? I'll try my best to win his heart. If he doesn't like me, I'll stop thinking about being his girlfriend. Give me a chance, please.

You don't know this. Ever since I met him last time, he's all I think about. He has even appeared in my dreams!" said Celine.

"But, Celine, Mr. Yan isn't right for you. Believe me, okay?" Rachel said with sincerity.

Although she didn't know much about him, she knew very well that Patrick was ambitious, and men like him always flirted with women but never lost their hearts to women.

When it came to men like Patrick, no woman could capture their hearts.

"I'll decide whether he's right for me or not after I've had a chance to interact with him!" Celine begged and looked at Rachel pleadingly.

At night

At Moonlight Restaurant

Rachel was helping herself to the food with a glance every now and then at Patrick and Celine, who were sitting opposite her and chatting animatedly with each other.

She had to come here so that Celine could have a chance with Patrick. The protagonist in the scene was Celine, and Rachel wasn't going to steal the show.

It seemed that Patrick often came into contact with women. He could chat with Celine, an ordinary woman, excitedly and win her favor.

Rachel sighed internally. She was sure that Celine would be crazier about Patrick in the future. After all, she had been fascinated with Patrick even before they had exchanged a word. How could Celine stop herself from feeling anything for Patrick? Rachel was starting to regret the whole thing.

"Sorry, you two keep chatting. I have to go to the bathroom, " she said, wiping her mouth with a tissue and standing up.

She wanted to go out to get a breath of fresh air. Every time she saw Patrick, she felt depressed. He was powerful and exerted intangible pressure on other people.

He was different from Hiram. Hiram wasn't interested in women, but Patrick was a senior player in love.

Celine was foolish to like Patrick and enjoy chatting with him.

"What a small world! Did you come here for dinner too?"

Daniel walked to Rachel with a glass of red wine in his hand and took a seat opposite her.

Hearing someone speak to her, Rachel turned around and looked at him in surprise. "Daniel?"

"Are you alone?" Daniel asked, Putting his glass on the table.

"I came here with my friend. What about you?" Rachel asked.

Daniel pointed at the table in front of them. Looking in the direction he pointed, Rachel saw two men and three women sitting there, but she didn't know any of them.

"Oh, don't forget the interview tomorrow. I'm the chief interviewer, but don't think I'll go easy on you. I'm impartial!" Daniel said as he looked at her with a handsome and elegant smile.

Rachel laughed and joked, "Hiram himself recommended me. If you still dare to make things hard for me, you're welcome to try."

"I'm always unscrupulous in separating work from personal emotions. We might be friends, but I won't deliberately let you pass the interview easily, " Daniel said, half-serious, half-joking after he took a sip of red wine.

"Will you... not let me pass the interview?" asked Rachel. Hearing what he said had made her lose a little confidence.

After all, she was not professional in that field and she had no related experience. If interviewers asked her some difficult professional questions, she probably wouldn't know how to respond to them.

Daniel was handsome with fine features. As he moved, the stud on his left ear twinkled, adding beauty to his face. It was hard to tell if his face belonged to a man or a woman. When he smiled, especially, he was more beautiful than most women.

"No, I'll treat you well for the sake of Hiram, " Daniel admitted. He saw that Rachel was in a daze, so he blew out a breath on her face. "Why are you looking at me like that? Did you suddenly realize how handsome I am?"

Rachel smiled and gave a nod of agreement. She hadn't looked at Daniel carefully before, but suddenly she realized how handsome he was. He resembled a famous Korean star.

"Hey girl, you're not single-minded, are you? You came here with me, but now you're chatting with another man excitedly! It's too sad..."
