Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 29

Rachel was sitting in the corner munching on her bread when she heard a voice. As she turned around, she saw a handsome man walking towards her. While clapping his hands, he said,"Rachel, you really impress me every time I meet you!"

She swallowed the bread in her mouth in one gulp. Surprised, she stood up and said,"Oh, it's you, the rescue hero."

As Albert walked up to Rachel, he noticed that she was eating bread. He decided to invite her to lunch. "Stop it, that is such a trifle. It's a sort of miracle that we run into each other here. Let's go to dinner together, shall we? I can not stand a beauty like you having bread for her lunch alone," said Albert.

Rachel thought that Albert was just being polite and answered,"No, that's fine. I have to run some errands later today. I would make do with the bread."

"I mean it. Let's go. There are many restaurants around. I happen to know a nice one nearby. It's my treat. Please don't turn me down. You'd break my heart." As Albert finished his sentence, he took her hand to lead her out. He spoke with a bright smile, revealing his sparkling teeth. He didn't even give her a chance to say no.

"Oh, my bread..."

Rachel had accidentally dropped her bread on the floor.

Albert took her to a fancy French restaurant. They found a table and sat down. The music in the restaurant was delightful, which made the ambiance pretty romantic.

Rachel was wearing a casual outfit since she had to shuttle back and forth today. She was wearing a regular T-shirt and a pair of jeans, with sports shoes. Her clothes made her look a bit out of place.

"Why did you visit the mall's office today?" Rachel was surprised to see him there, but she hadn't got the chance to bring it up until now. His sudden appearance seemed to be somewhat coincidental.

Albert paused for a second and continued with a smile,"It's summer vacation time. I want to find a part-time job to ease the burden on my family. Besides, I can learn something from the job."

He decided not to tell Rachel the real reason. Today at the mall, he had noticed that Rachel had worked very hard to get the project back, so he assumed that she was from an ordinary family. If he told her the truth, she might look at him differently. He just wanted to let her think of him as an ordinary student.

"Part-time job? But the food here is quite expensive. How can you afford to eat here?" Rachel was confused. Most of the dishes' price was over 100. Why would he choose this place?

"It is the first time I have invited you to lunch. I want it to be perfect. Besides, you said that you need to rush to other places soon and there are only fancy restaurants in this area. I didn't want to waste your time by going to other places." Albert tried to find a reasonable excuse to clear her doubt.

Rachel nodded her head. "Let's share the bill then. You're only a student. I wouldn't let you spend this much money on a meal," Rachel insisted.

Not far away from Rachel and Albert's table, Two men were having their lunch. One of them took a glace at Albert and told the man sitting across him,"Hiram, my nephew is here too. Excuse me for a moment. I want to go say hi."

"Certainly," Hiram answered without raising his head. He was reading a file with his iPad placed on the table. He was reading so dedicatedly that his eyes never left the iPad screen.

"Well, on second thought, I don't want to disturb him. It seems that he is having a hot date with a girl. He might get embarrassed if he knows I'm here," said Luke. Luke was Hiram's private attorney, and he was earnest about his work, but not about relationships. He didn't want anyone to disturb him when he had a date with a woman, so he thought Albert wouldn't want that either.

Although Luke was a gentleman, he also loved the wildness in his life.

Hiram didn't pay much attention to Luke's remark. He sipped his coffee and continued reading the file.

Luke glanced at the girl sitting with Albert, and said questioningly,"It seems like I have met this girl before. Hiram, could you stop reading for a moment and take a look at the girl to see if we know her or not?"

Hiram raised his head and glanced at Luke, thinking that Luke was being nosy again, but he still did what Luke asked him to. Hiram turned around and looked towards where Luke's gaze was.

Hiram saw that a woman was laughing at something said by the man accompanying her. Hiram recognized that the woman was Rachel. It seemed that the man was telling her a funny story, and Rachel could not help but laugh.

"So you are my junior schoolmate. I didn't have a chance to revisit our university in the past two years. I'm going to spare some time to pay a visit to my old school someday soon," Rachel wiped the tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes. It had been a long while since she felt this relaxed last time.
