Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 190

Rachel clenched her teeth and looked away. "It has nothing to do with those things. What you did was wrong, and you have to admit it."

Hiram looked at her eyes that were brimming with irritation, then he sighed and took a step forward to pull her into his arms.

It was said that a man should never try to reason with a woman, and it was right indeed.

"It's my bad. Tell me what I should do to make you forgive me."

"Write a statement of repentance with at least 10, 000 words. And promise that you won't make such mistakes again. Or at least let me know in advance when you have to do that again." Locked in Hiram's tight grip, Rachel was out of breath and struggled to get the words out.

This was where she drew the line. She couldn't let Hiram do whatever he wanted even if they were married.

Hiram's eyebrows were furrowed and his eyes darkened.

"Fine, I'll write it."

When it was time to get off work, Rachel stretched her arms to relax herself. She was expecting a few days without Hiram being around her, since the statement of repentance wasn't so easy to finish.

Hiram's work schedule was tight, so he could only write it after work hours. In that way, she could have a break from Hiram's harassment.

"Hey, Celine, what's your plan for tonight? How about hanging out with me outside? Oh, you're going to work overtime?" Rachel was upset. It was rare for her to get enough free time to even make such a call, but now Celine was too busy to hang out.

The minute Rachel hung up the phone, Penny slid towards Rachel in her chair and said, "Rachel, what do you think about getting Mr. Zhuo to have dinner with our team in the evening? We haven't had dinner together even though it's been a long time since we all joined this company!"

Rachel glanced at Daniel, who was still working in his office, and said, "Mr. Zhuo is working overtime these days. He's not likely to have time to come along with us."

"Rachel, you can't know it until you ask him yourself. We know that you and Mr. Zhuo are friends. If you ask him out for dinner in person, I'm sure he'll say yes, " suggested Millay, who had been listening to their conversation.

"I'm with Millay. Please give it a try. Mr. Zhuo is always strict with us. We can take this opportunity to get closer to him. Rachel, just do us a favor, okay?" Penny crossed her fingers, a gesture to beg Rachel.

Rachel and Mr. Zhuo were friends, so he rarely scolded her. But the rookies here didn't have it so good. They were often criticized by Mr. Zhuo. Although he was very handsome and cute, they didn't dare to try to get close to him.

Feeling like she had been givien a mission, Rachel took a deep breath and opened the door of Daniel's office.

She had been specially trained in Daniel's office before the new employees joined.

"Come in, " Daniel said, noticing Rachel at the door.

Rachel went in and grinned at him. "Mr. Zhuo, are you free tonight?"

"Let me guess. Are you asking me out on a date?" Daniel joked, glancing at her with a smile.

Rachel walked toward his desk and, resisting the urge to laugh, replied, "You're right. Let's go out on a date in the evening. You work so hard every day. It makes me feel sorry."

"Go on a date? Only you and me?" Daniel narrowed his eyes slightly, twirling the pen in his hand, and said, "Well, you're not trying to make me your lover, are you?"

Amused by Daniel's response, Rachel could barely hold back her laughter. "Uh huh. Then, do you agree or not?"

She was leaning forward with her hands on his desk. She wondered if Daniel had been so busy with work these days that just a dinner party could make his imagination wander so much.

Daniel knocked on Rachel's hand with his pen and said with his lips curved up, "Where did you get the guts to go on a date with me? Aren't you afraid of a punishment from Hiram?"

Rachel wiped the tears of laughter away from her eyes and straightened up. She said, "All right. It were Penny and Millay who wanted to ask you out for dinner, so they asked me to come over to invite you. You have such a vivid imagination."

Hearing that, Daniel leaned back in his chair and joked with his legs crossed, "Well, I see. That really hurts my feelings. No problem. I happen to be in the mood for singing songs. Will you be coming along?"

"Yes, I'm free today, " Rachel replied, then looked Daniel up and down. "Daniel, you should get yourself a girlfriend soon. There are some good girls in the company. You can try to get familiar with them and see if there's anyone you like."

Daniel sighed and smiled at Rachel. "In my heart, I know what I should do, so don't worry about me."

"Okay, I was being a busybody. See you at night then!" Rachel turned and walked out of the office without continuing the topic, since he seemed to want to avoid it.

Then she put her thumb and index finger together to make an "okay" gesture to her colleagues, and they all were cheered up.

It was still early, so Rachel took the elevator to the 28th floor. She didn't know if Hiram had gotten off work or not, but she wanted to tell him that he didn't need to pick her up after work.

"Carl? Where's your cousin?" Rachel found Carl, who had returned to his position, looking at the computer at his desk.

"Rachel, you're here. Hiram has to attend a dinner party in the evening. He told me to send you home, " Carl said, standing up.

Rachel thought for a second before saying, "Don't bother. I have a party with my colleagues in the evening. Daniel will send me home. If something unexpected happens, I'll call you!"

Carl nodded and said, "That's good. Rachel, call me any time if there is an emergency."

At 8 o'clock in the evening, at the largest entertainment center in H City, Daniel surprised everyone with his singing. His deep voice caught the hearts of the company's newcomers. Rachel also reveled in his charming voice.

Daniel and Hiram had different kinds of voices. Daniel's voice was relatively light with a high-pitched tone while Hiram's voice was magnetic by nature. In short, it was difficult to decide whose was better.

Now, Daniel was singing, happy and relaxed. He had taken off the serious mask he wore at work and was acting like a playboy as usual. He was having a good time with these girls.

Rachel watched him play a few games with the girls. She just kept smiling the whole time. Then, she stood up and walked out of the room quietly.

She looked at her phone and found that it was already ten o'clock. She was hesitant about calling Carl to come over and send her home.

She had thought that Daniel would send her home, but it seemed Daniel was having a good time with those girls, and she was already a little tired.

When she was passing a private VIP room, someone opened the door and walked outside without closing it behind him. She peeped inside and paused instantly.

There were a lot of people inside, a mixed group of men and women. Some of them were likely to be the company's shareholders, because Hiram was sitting in the middle of them. The woman next to him was the one she had seen a few days ago.

It was Violet Feng, who was said to be a tough woman in the business circle.

Carl had said that Hiram had a dinner at night, so he had probably come here after dinner.

"Hiram, it's so rare for you to come out for fun. Come on, bottoms up!" A man who looked about forty or fifty years old raised a glass of wine and toasted to Hiram.

"Hey, Mr. Liu, that's enough. Mr. Rong has already drunk a lot. Don't ask him to drink any more. If you insist, I'll drink for him!" Violet stood up and refused the request on Hiram's behalf with her charm, using her advantage of being a woman.

"Well, well. I see Miss Feng still cares for Mr. Rong. Your affection for him is so obvious even now!" Mr. Liu teased Violet with a smile.

Violet cast a glance at Hiram, who had drunk a lot of wine and was sitting on the sofa with his eyes half-closed, and asked, "Is it? Mr. Liu, you just said what's on my mind. Hiram's such a perfect man with a successful career. It's natural for him to have a few intimate female friends around. Just like you do."

"Miss Feng, you always know us men best! The work pressure is so overwhelming, and I have to please my wife when I return home. I bet it's every man's wish to have a thoughtful beauty around." Mr. Liu said straightforwardly.

"You're right, a man's life isn't easy. I know this better than anyone else. Come on, Mr. Liu, I'd like to propose a toast to you." Violet raised her glass and clinked glasses with Mr. Liu.

Outside the private room, Rachel stood rooted to the spot, her eyes gradually darkening as she watched what was going on inside the room through the fan-shaped glass. Just as she turned around to leave, The man who had come out of the room was heading back into it. He had drunk so much that he didn't notice Rachel standing at the door and directly pushed her into the room!
