"Hiram, thanks for your help today!"
Rachel thanked Hiram inside the car. Though Hiram was her nominal husband, they both clearly knew their real relationship.
She thought it was just reasonable to thank him.
"I don't like the verbal gratitude. I hope that you can express your gratitude to me in action." Hiram looked at her with a slight smile on his face.
Rachel was a bit shocked by the expression in his eyes. She looked away quickly and said, "Really? Manager Zhang is an employee of the Streams Company. You can also take this as a chance to eradicate a bad employee from your company. See? You can also benefit from this. I also didn't ask you for help. You helped me willingly."
"How dare you talk to me like that?"
Hiram glanced at Rachel who sat beside him. He was busy with his business that day, but he still chose to find time to help her. However, according to her words, it seemed that he helped her just because he was free, having nothing to do.
"What I said is right. I'm afraid that no company will hire me after you appeared at my workplace today. I think I'm going to lose my job because of you. Why do you think I should thank you?" Rachel didn't intend to thank him. She didn't want him to feel that she owed him a favor.
After he glanced at Rachel who tried to argue with him, Hiram raised his hand to pinch her face and said, "Why are you so ungrateful? There are many companies under our Rong's group of companies. You can work at any of them.
You can work at my company and choose any position you like. You can also get high salary there."
Rachel massaged her face and felt that Hiram pinched her so hard. She looked up at him and said, "I would think about it carefully. After all, finding a job is an important and serious thing. I can't just casually choose a position in your company. If that happens, I'm worried that when you get angry at me someday, you will throw me out of your company."
Rachel was afraid that she would be thrown to the dust bin just like what Hiram did to her things before.
"Rachel, can you say something nice? If you say something to please me, I might also help you when you get into trouble next time. Don't talk to me arrogantly. I don't like that." Hiram said those words while knocking her forehead.
When Hiram helped other people, they were deeply grateful for his kindness. Only Rachel ignored him and didn't show any appreciation to him.
"Hiram, I will be grateful if you don't bring any trouble to me. I have something to show you..."
The car was still moving along the road. Rachel took a notebook out of her bag, turned to a certain page and gave it to Hiram.
Hiram took it from her confusingly. He saw the things that she recorded on it.
It was actually a list of her unpleasant experiences because of his misdeeds.
On April 8, she got injured outside the X building and was sent to the hospital. This was because of Hiram's enemy who took revenge against him.
On April 18, her things, which she had kept for three years, were thrown to the trash can outside Hiram's villa. She even drew a crying emoji at the end of the sentence.
On April 19, Hiram badly treated her. She stayed outside until midnight that caused her a high fever.
On April 23, she was kidnapped by Jay and his allies. She was even nearly killed! And so on…!
"Do you see that? I have been injured and have gone through terrible experiences because of you. How unlucky I am!" Rachel took the notebook from his hand and said angrily, "We just know each other for a short time. If I have to live with you all my life, I'm afraid that I have to live a miserable life. I might even die very soon."
Hiram, who was accused of doing a lot of bad things to her, wore a long face.
