'He's even more fickle than God, ' Rachel thought to herself.
She frowned in the general direction Hiram had walked off in, then turned on the TV and sat on the sofa. She watched TV until it was very late before going upstairs.
Instead of going to Hiram's room, she went to hers.
At first, Rachel thought that Hiram wouldn't be able to control himself from coming over. Even in the car, she had felt that he couldn't control himself.
However, she had underestimated Hiram's ability. She blinked her sleepy eyes all night, but Hiram didn't come.
The next morning, her mobile phone alarm rang on time.
"Hiram, wait, we can go together..." she trailed off when she didn't see him.
"Rachel, Hiram said that if you want to have a good reputation at Streams Company, you can't make your identity public. The car is outside. It's my duty to drive you to the company, " Chad said.
Rachel had heard the sound of the car and gone outside, expecting to see Hiram, but the only person there was Chad.
"Give me the key and tell Hiram that I don't need a driver. I can drive by myself, " she said with a cold snort. She had been in an irritated half-sleep all night, and Chad's appearance only made her more furious.
Obviously, Hiram had tricked her into getting on board with the marriage before showing his true cold nature, like a wolf!
"But Rachel, Hiram clearly asked me to drive you..."
Chad said worriedly even as Rachel took the keys from him.
But before he finished, Rachel was already in the car, humming and stomping on the accelerator before driving out.
Rachel drove nervously the whole way but finally reached the basement parking lot of the company. Unfortunately, she failed to back her car into the parking space several times.
"I thought it was some idiot who couldn't park after even a dozen times, but I didn't realize it was you, " Daniel sneered, slamming the door of his car and walking over to her.
Even though Rachel knew her driving skills were sub par, she was in a bad mood, shaking, so she angrily threw her car keys to him and said, "Okay, you do it then."
Daniel caught the keys, but before he could even reply, Rachel was walking towards the elevator.
'Have you eaten gunpowder?' Daniel thought to himself.
Rachel went upstairs directly to the President's office. She wanted to go in to find Hiram, but she was stopped by his assistant, Ben.
''Excuse me, Miss Ruan. According to your present status, you are a new staff of Mr. Zhuo, so you have no right to meet the president.
Could you please come by at noon?"
Rachel felt like she was being sent off with a flea in her ear. When she was back downstairs, she saw Daniel walk up to her.
"Why did you come in such a hurry? So you quarreled with Hiram?" Daniel asked, putting her car keys on her desk.
Instead of answering him, Rachel started to read some books on designing for starters.
Daniel decided to get her some tea to calm her down. He handed her the cup and looked at her curiously as he said, "Could it be that Hiram found out that you had dinner with Patrick?"
Came to think of it, it made a lot of sense.
"It can't be. I never told him about it. How could he find out? And even if he knows, Celine was also there when we were eating. It wasn't just me and Patrick. Right?" she said, almost as if trying to convince herself.
Daniel smirked and shook his head. "So naive. Maybe he is furious that you even think you could conceal something from him."
Speechless at this, Rachel subconsciously bit her lips.
No wonder recently he always seemed to be on edge, and he got angry easily. Was it because of this?
However, at the dinner with Patrick, both Celine and Daniel had been there, too. Hiram wouldn't be so mean, would he?
"Okay, don't waste time thinking about this during working hours. I have a plan for you that I think is much more useful than reading these books. Follow me and I'll tell you, "
