Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 230

Time was flying.

A month had passed and

Rachel's studio had already opened.

At first, although there were just several customers, some work still needed to be done though not too much.

The work in the studio was mostly done by Celine. Her part did not require much of Rachel's time, so Rachel didn't need to go to the company on time every day. But in spite of being free, Rachel had a habit of keeping herself busy.

It was a different day as after completing work at the studio, she went down the old street which was not far away from her studio.

She walked down the alley of the old street. There were many business areas across the road of the street and the third one on Rachel's path was a small restaurant called Fannie Private Home Cuisine.

The restaurant was not big but it had lots of clients in its premises. With only eight desks around, it was a busy location due to regular incoming of the clients.

Rachel went inside the restaurant. It was still full. She kept her bag in the cabinet and moved across the room towards the kitchen. She wanted to be of service in the restaurant.

On seeing Rachel, Fannie seemed annoyed. She did not want to have Rachel around. So from a distance she waved at Rachel and wanted her to leave. On waving she expressively asked Rachel,"Why did you come again?" Fannie had already asked Rachel not to visit her before since she did not belong here and was too nosy for the restaurant environment. Since the premises was small she had made clear that four people were enough including waiters, so obviously she didn't need to come.

Rachel had only rolled over her sleeves and had still not started working. But the roar from Fannie made it obvious that she did not want her around and was very rude towards her.

Rachel could not take more of this behavior. She asked her mom with sadness filled in her voice,"My god, how can you blame your own daughter in this way! You are really becoming more and more difficult to cope with."

Her agony made Rachel respond in an impolite way.

"Ah!", Fannie could not hold back her rage. Furiously she responded,"You, elf, how can you say to your mother in this way! You are really becoming more and more naughty!" Fannie believed that keeping quiet would surmise her weakness and she was not willing to show weakness. Fannie was vociferous towards Rachel but, for Rachel it was a matter of no concern as she was helping wash vegetables.

Rachel stuck her tongue out at Fannie to show her disapproval and said,"I had asked you to rest at home, but you didn't listen to me. It doesn't matter if you have a bad restaurant business, but now it is so good and you don't even have time to sit down. You deserve it."

"I like that!"

Fannie looked towards customers outside with a smile on her face when said so, she was happy and her inner soul approved of it,"It proves that my cooking skill has obtained everybody's approval!"

All of a sudden her anger was gone and she turned towards Rachel, asking,"Rachel, should we focus on expanding what we are doing? Can we open a branch? Is it not good?" Fannie said happily.

Rachel glared at her at once and asked,"Mom, don't you think you are occupied?"

Fannie was not expecting a question from Rachel's end. She again turned out furious on Rachel's response andsaid,"You, foolish girl, who would complain about making more money? If it runs well, the earnings will be all yours, won't they?" Fannie smiled at a look on her daughter's face. Her tone suddenly grew soft and she said,"Although I know your husband's family does not need this money, this is mom's love, isn't it?"

Fannie was happy inside. She asked her daughter to wait for a minute before the guests left. She said,"After the guests leave, I will close early. And then cook you some dishes. We will sit and chat!"

Rachel didn't respond to her mother's opinion as she was not sure about when would the guests leave since there was still a line outside the restaurant as people were waiting for their turn to come.

It had been an hour and Rachel had been busy since then.

Suddenly the phone rang.

A voice from the other side asked," Where are you?" Hiram had finished off his work and was no more busy now. So he had guessed that Rachel might go to Fannie Private Home Cuisine to help her mother around.

She really did so and Hiram was aware of the fact about his wife

Over the phone Rachel asked,"At my mom's restaurant. Do you have time? If you do, come here to eat dinner together since I will finish a moment later, okay?" Rachel wiped her hands on her apron as she listened to her husband talk.

"Okay, I will come soon." Hiram said in his resignation.

Since the opening of his mother-in-law's restaurant, Hiram had been at the restaurant more than ten times this month.

Fortunately, it wasn't too far away, only a 20-minute walk away, but he had to drive to pick Rachel up.

Now it was not too busy, and the crowd was almost settled. Rachel sat on an empty table to rest, while her mother asked,"Is Hiram coming?"

"Yes, mom." Rachel responded and cleared up another table after customers had finished eating. There were not many people at this point, and the staff were off work.

"Look at you, the president's wife of Streams Company, being a handyman in my restaurant and my son-in-law has to come to pick you up. You do not need to come again!" Fannie said disgustedly.

Rachel finished cleaning up and also sat down, pouring a glass of water to drink. She could see the love in her mother's disgust. She smiled and said softly,"Mom. Mommy, But you're my mother, aren't you?"
