Hiram took out a box from his pocket and opened it. Nestled inside was a custom-made diamond ring that he had ordered for Rachel one month ago.
This trip to America was also an opportunity for him to bring back a ring for her.
On the diamond ring were two exquisite R shaped strings of diamonds, which looked like a butterfly. Such an outstanding design would certainly add to the beauty and elegance of this ring without decreasing the comfort level of its wearer.
"Chad, is it possible for Rachel to be a dutiful wife and loving mother at home?" Hiram asked.
After thinking for a moment, Chad shook his head and answered, "I don't think so. It seems that Rachel doesn't like to stay at home."
Taking their recent business trip to Cliff Mountain for example: unlike the usual ladies from decent families who were unwilling to go to mountain areas, Rachel insisted on coming along with them.
Therefore, it could be said that Rachel wasn't the quiet type who would peacefully stay at home.
Moreover, it was not until Hiram asked him to investigate Rachel's whereabouts last night that he surprisingly found out that Rachel had rented a studio. Since the studio had already been decorated, it meant that Rachel wanted to start her own business.
Hiram closed the box and said, "Therefore, I want to release Rachel's full potential so that she can achieve her goals, and be worthy of the title of my wife."
Chad then said with a nod, "That is very far-sighted of you. Indeed, only a capable woman would be qualified to be your wife."
He remembered that Joanna, Hiram's mother, was also a very competent woman when she was young.
As Hiram's family owned a century-old family business, many people eyed its wealth. Therefore, the future wife of Hiram had to be capable and talented as well.
"By the way, where is your report on her whereabouts from yesterday?" Hiram said, as he sipped his tea.
Chad nodded and began to report.
"What? She went out for dinner with Patrick at Moonlight Restaurant?"
Hiram shouted, raising his head from the documents. Then, Hiram narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, 'Patrick?'.
"Yes, Patrick rented a studio in H city and would come to visit it almost every other day." Chad said truthfully.
Hiram's face darkened with anger, when he heard Chad's words. This woman had told him nothing about Patrick's renting a studio in H city and going out for dinner with him in private?
Perhaps, it was because he had spoiled her too much?
Patrick's intention to come to H city was very obvious, but why would Rachel go out for dinner with him in private?
It was true that one should never spoil a woman too much.
While in the office, Rachel was still busy drawing the design.
Although Rachel's drawing skills were poor, she had finally finished a complete design after hours of hard work.
Three hours had passed by quickly.
Suddenly, the door of the office was pushed open.
Daniel walked in with his arms held across his chest and looked at Rachel, asking, "Finished? Whether it is finished or not, just give it to me now. I'm going out for lunch."
"Almost done! Almost done..."
Rachel said. She quickly made several touch-ups with the pencil before she stood up. She walked towards Daniel and submitted her work, "Here you are."
Daniel looked at her. Then, he took the design and went out of the office.
When Daniel returned to his office, he sat on the chair with his legs crossed and then began to go over Rachel's work. Although she drew very poorly, the experienced Daniel was still able to understand the meaning of it.
Rachel waited beside Daniel for a while, but Daniel still made no responses. Although drawing the design was time-consuming for her, it should have been easy for Daniel to understand the meaning of it. Why did the checking process take so long?
