Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 400

"North Sea City," Hiram murmured to himself as his mind travelled to the coastal city. He looked out of the window of his office. Carl stood in front of him, waiting for a reply. After remaining silent for a while, he asked,"Do we own any companies there?"

Carl nodded his head and responded,"Yes, we do. But we have just one company there. We had set up a coastal resort hotel there. Although the city is small, it's known for its scenic beauty."

Hiram thought for a while and then he ordered in a cold voice,"Book the ticket at once. I'll fly there tonight."

"Yes, Hiram!" Carl replied promptly and walked out of Hiram's office.

It had been a long time since Rachel left. Although Hiram finally got information about her whereabouts, he was not sure that she was still staying there or not. He was not sure whether he could find her there or not. Nevertheless, he decided to fly there at once.

Rachel had been struggling to find a firm ground under her feet after leaving her home. She finally got the job as temporary assistant of Marlon in North Sea City. This job was not only a means to earn her bread and butter for her, rather, it helped her to deal with the harsh pangs of separation anxiety from her kids and her loving husband. However, Marlon, her boss mostly ordered her around for trivial matters.

He seldom asked her to assist him with company business. Most of the time she was ordered to deal with his trivial personal matters.

For instance, he needed her to make a perfect coffee for him. He is very particular about his coffee. He only drank coffee which was freshly ground. If the taste did not meet his palate, he would put Rachel on job to make it all over again. Apart from that, he would depute Rachel to do shopping for him. And often, he would ask her to go and purchase something during the office hours.

He would even order her to buy food for him from his favorite food joints.

After working for him for a day, Rachel found that he actually didn't have much company business to deal with. He was always at leisure, so as his assistant, she was only ordered to deal with his personal affairs.

He was so different from Hiram, who was always neck-deep in work.

Rachel wondered how a head of a business could be so laid-back. Maybe that was also why his family was less powerful than Eve's family. Having a successor like him, his family might be worried about the company's future.

"Well, Rachel, I'll go on a holiday tomorrow. Please pack my travel bag!" Marlon checked the time on his watch and decided to call it a day. He stood up and started walking towards the door. Just as he was about the open the door, he paused for a while. With his hand holding the door knob, he turned towards Rachel and asked,"What about you coming along with me?" Now, this is the last thing Rachel could expect. Just one day into her job, her boss wanted her to travel on a holiday with him!

Worked for one day and take rest for the next few days? Is that his motto towards life and work?

"Many of my belongings are lying in the office. Pack them and come with me for the holiday," Marlon added.

Rachel paused for a moment, then spoke with a hesitation in her voice,"I? You want me to go on a holiday with you?"

"Of course. You're my assistant. Of course you should come with me on a holiday! What is there to be so surprised about it." Marlon spoke in a very contended voice. Speaking with Rachel, he suddenly remembered that he had left his sunglasses in the drawer and turned around to take it.

Rachel stood there bewildered for a while. It took a few seconds for her to recover from the shock. Then she said,"Okay, I will."

Rachel could very well make what she was in for. However, now that she had chosen to work here for such a whimsical boss, she had to follow his orders no matter how illogical they were.

The next day, Marlon drove to her apartment to pick her up. He waited for a while and called her and called her again after waiting for a while. Even after that, when Rachel did not show up, he climbed up to her apartment and knocked on her door.

Rachel had to put on make up and pack her luggage as quickly as possible. Marlon was just too impatient to wait.

The drive was rather uncomfortable for Rachel with this little known unpredictable man whom she had taken as her boss. When they arrived at the resort hotel, she found that Marlon had a guest joining him for the holiday. Perhaps that was the reason behind him planning this trip in a jiffy.

"Babe, I've missed you so much!" A lady with long hair gave him a big hug and kissed him on his cheek excitedly.

Rachel shifted her eyes from them. 'How awkward is it to hear the lady call him Babe?' Rachel thought to herself.

Rachel felt pity for Eve. She realized why Eve always vented out her rage on women who were staying with Marlon. How much insecure she must had been to have slapped Rachel mistakenly earlier. Eve wasn't paranoid. She was Marlon's fiancée after all. And it was a fact that Marlon was two timing her. He was dating another girl.

"Babe, last time we met, you promised that you'd break up your engagement with your fiancée. Have you done it?" The lady asked with a lot of excitement in her voice. "I can't wait to get married to you!" she added excitedly. She wrapped her arms around Marlon's neck.
