Chapter 51 Keep Your Eyes Open Next Time
The secretary wearing glasses stepped out of the office and trotted in high-heeled shoes. "Boss! What
happened?"
Elsa slowed to a halt and stood straight. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
"Did you ask her to wait outside?" Hiram cast a sullen glance at Elsa. Seeing his grim face, Elsa
nervously took a step back.
"Yes. I thought she was waiting for the General Manager. I, I didn't expect that she was waiting for you,
boss, " Elsa stuttered.
She should have made her question clearer. Now, she had offended her boss. What was she going to
do? She wrung her hands in worry.
At that moment, Carl came over and, looking at the trembling secretary, he said, "There's no blame
attached to the unintentional wrongdoer. You won't be held accountable for your mistake this time.
Look, this is Mrs. Rong. Keep your eyes open next time!"
In public, Carl usually called Hiram Mr. Rong instead of by his first name.
Carl turned to Hiram. "Mr. Rong, the plane is taking off in forty minutes. It's time for us to go now."
Rachel also nodded and came over and pulled on his sleeve. "Don't be angry. It's my fault. I didn't
speak clearly and she misunderstood what I was trying to say. Let's go now."
It was nothing serious. Rachel wasn't narrow-minded.
Hiram didn't say anything. Seeing his smiling wife, Hiram felt his anger dissipated and walked towards
his office.
Before boarding the plane, Rachel called Fannie.
Upon hearing that Hiram was taking Rachel on a vacation, Fannie was overjoyed and complimented
Hiram on how considerate he was. She thought of the vacation as a short honeymoon.
It seemed like Fannie was becoming increasingly satisfied with her son-in-law.
After boarding the plane, Rachel soon fell asleep.
Since she hadn't slept well the night before and the first class seat was comfortable, she fell asleep
easily.
But she didn't know that
Hiram, who was sitting in front of her, was staring at her with knotted eyebrows.
Next to him, Carl couldn't help chuckling. "Hiram, it's funny watching Rachel snore. She is so cute!"
Rachel was too tired. She was so sound asleep, She didn't even know she was snoring.
It was such a short journey that Rachel slept throughout it.
When the plane finally landed on the ground, Hiram sat down beside a sleeping Rachel and covered
her nose with his hand.
"Emmm..."
Rachel was almost out of breath. She felt uncomfortable.
She finally woke up. Bleary-eyed, she saw the prankster looking at her with a smile. Hiram said, "I'm
curious. Didn't you sleep last night? It's just a three-hour journey. You're probably the only person who
slept on this plane."
It was only then that Rachel realized that the plane had already landed. She sat up straight and wiped
the corners of her mouth. Fortunately, she hadn't been drooling. "Are we already there yet?" She
asked.
Looking at her innocent eyes and her lovely demeanor, Hiram agreed with what Carl had said. Yes, she
was cute.
"Let's go!" Hiram stood up, holding out his hand.
Taking his hand, Rachel stood up. Hiram's hand was very warm. His slightly rough hand gave her a
sense of security.
It was noon when they stepped off the plane.
Since Rachel had been sound asleep on the plane, she hadn't eaten anything. She was starving now.
When they stepped out of the exit, they saw the car that had been waiting there for them for a long
time.
As Hiram was about to get into the car, he turned around to look for Rachel, but she wasn't there. He
wrinkled his brows. 'Where is she?' thought Hiram.
Just then, he saw a petite woman standing in front of a vending machine.
Rachel bought a cup of noodles and added some boiled water into it from the machine nearby. After
that, she walked towards the car with it.
When she turned around, she saw Hiram watching her curiously with his hands in his pockets.
"I'm hungry, " Rachel explained, holding up the cup of noodles as she got into the car.
Hiram got in beside her. "Let's go!"
Once the noodles was ready, Rachel opened the cover. She knew that the ride in Hiram's car would be
a smooth one. As long as the driver didn't brake hard, she could finish her noodles in the car itself.
Carl was sitting up front in the passenger seat. Turning around, he found Rachel digging in hungrily
and Hiram sitting beside her with a grim look on his face. He couldn't help laughing. The car was thick
with the smell of noodles.
If it had been anyone else, both the eater and the noodles would have been thrown out of the car.
"Why are you laughing? If you don't stop, you can get off and take a taxi!" Hiram said with a cold look.
Carl immediately turned around and sat up straight.
Noticing Hiram's bad mood, Rachel reluctantly held out her noodles in front of him and said, "Here you
are. Have a taste. It's really delicious!"
The air around them seemed to freeze.
Hiram coolly regarded the noodles; it was still giving off a unique aroma.
Carl went stiff at Rachel's words, not daring to take a breath.
"Why aren't you eating? You don't think I'm clean enough to share food with? Well, forget it." Now that
Hiram didn't want to eat the noodles, she was glad to eat it by herself. Just before she could retract her
hand, however, Hiram held on to her wrist.
He shoved the fork into his mouth. He nodded appreciatively as he chewed and said, "It's really
delicious. But when we arrive at our destination, there'll be more delicious food."
"Okay. This is just a snack. It won't affect my dinner, " Rachel said as she continued to eat the noodles
Carl heaved a huge sigh of relief. It seemed that Rachel was Hiram's Achilles' heel.
Recently, Hiram's temper had gotten much better.
At the Streams Garden...
The garden was located in the suburb, with the sea in the background. Thanks to its spectacular
scenery, excellent environment and fresh air, it had become a hot spot for holiday, leisure, and
entertainment.
This was a new style of garden developed by the Streams Company. With its beautiful scenery, it
served as a wonderful resort.
Getting off the car, Rachel stretched out her arms. She couldn't help gasping with awe when she saw
the broad green scenery.
It was definitely the right decision to come here with Hiram. It was her first time to come to such a
beautiful place.
"Hiram, you're here at last, "
Said a voice. It belonged to a slender Chinese-European woman. She had deep blue eyes and curly
blonde hair, and wore a black tassel dress.
While speaking, this half-bred beauty wore a smile and elegantly walked towards Hiram with open
arms.
