Such a Rude and Noisy Woman

Chapter 138 Go To The Court In Disguise

"What I'm telling you is the truth. Why would I lie to you?" Rachel held back her urge to laugh and said

in a serious manner.

Hiram raised his hand and gently rubbed her face; he laughed at her with his eyes narrowed, and said,

"Okay, if you say so, but you'd better not regret it!"

"Ding!", the elevator stopped on the ground floor.

Hiram strode forward leaving Rachel in the elevator. She called out to him and then followed him out Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

immediately.

They picked a restaurant near the company so that they could just walk there instead of driving.

As soon as they arrived, they went into the private box Hiram had reserved for them earlier. The

atmosphere was lush with elegant music playing in the background.

When they sat down, Rachel noticed something in Hiram's pocket. She could only see its red coloured

corner; she was curious and assumed it was a present.

"Hiram, what's that in your pocket? May I see it, please?" asked Rachel.

Hiram took it out of his pocket, and put it on the table. "It is a present I bought for a woman, " he said.

"Present? Is it for me?" asked Rachel with a big smile lighting up her face as she picked it up from the

table. As soon as she opened it, She was completely stunned by the beauty of what was in front of her

eyes. Inside the box, was a uniquely designed ring; a design so rare that it could hardly ever be seen in

the market. The most eye-catching feature was the design of the bow-knot on the ring itself, which was

concave and exquisitely carved with layers. When she tried it on, it didn't look obstructive, but only

graceful and extravagant.

However, after she had examined it carefully, she found that the 'bow-knot' was not really of a bow's

shape, but the combination of two letters of 'R'.

'What is this supposed to mean?' Rachel thought.

'R, does it mean...', she wondered.

"Rong and Ruan?" Rachel asked, as she gently rubbed the two letters with her fingers. She assumed

her guess was right, otherwise it wouldn't be so coincidental.

"Are you done with your inspection? If so, please give it back to me, " said Hiram, as he reached out

his hand, took the ring from her and put it back into the box.

Rachel was a little annoyed when Hiram took the ring back. She asked, "Isn't it for me? I like it a lot. Let

me keep it."

"I didn't say it was for you, did I?"

Hiram's tone changed the atmosphere in the room as he put down the box of red flannel.

Rachel was taken aback by Hiram's response. With eyes wide open, she glared at him, wondering

whether he was still angry at her about what she had said to him in the elevator or not?

Soon their dishes were served, hot and fresh.

Rachel couldn't concentrate on what she was eating because her mind was mostly pre-occupied by

thoughts of that ring. She sincerely grew fond of it from the bottom of her heart.

Nonetheless, how could a man of Hiram's stature be so vulnerable as to be easily offended by her

joke?

What she did not know, however, was that he had been thinking about her the whole time. As soon as

he got off the plane, he went straight to the company to find her. When he arrived, he was told that she

was busy, and so they couldn't meet immediately. But, he still waited for her patiently, even though he

was so eager to see her.

Hiram was totally disappointed, when he heard what she had said in the elevator. However, even

though he was angry, he still looked calm and graceful. He was busy enjoying the food on his plate and

didn't seem to care about anything else; it made him appear more appealing and charming.

Suddenly, Hiram felt a restless foot rubbing on his suit pants, under the table.

A faint smile arose from the corner of his mouth, he continued to eat as if it was nothing.

Rachel tried playing footsie with Hiram for quite a while, but he still didn't respond, as if to say he was

still angry. Soon, she realized he wasn't in the mood so she put her foot back in her shoe. "Honey, I

want to eat your share. Will you cut a piece for me to try?" asked Rachel.

Only then did Hiram raise his head to look back at her. When he saw the way she looked at him, he

couldn't stay mad at her for long, and cut her a large piece from his share.

Rachel slowly stood up, leaned forward and kissed his lips when he stood up to put food on her plate.

When her lips touched with his, Hiram looked like he had just been hit by lightning. The piece of steak

he had just cut to give to her, fell from his fork onto her plate.

Meanwhile, Rachel was swept off her foot by his kiss.

Hiram, almost immediately, dropped the steel fork on the table and pulled her closer with one hand to

kiss her harder. His kiss was like the waves of the ocean, one after another, harder and harder. Rachel

was dazed by his breathtaking kiss.

"You want the ring? No problem. As soon as we go to the court, I will put it on your finger myself, " said

Hiram, after he released her from what seemed to be an everlastingly passionate kiss.

Rachel sat back on the chair; her heart was still beating rapidly. Rachel would always feel short of

breath every time Hiram kissed her.

"Hiram, you are so mean. I just want to put on the ring. Why should it be so troublesome?" Rachel

muttered. Frustrated, she cut the piece of steak Hiram had given her forcefully, as if she wanted to cut

her dissatisfaction away.

"In fact, I was about to give it to you when we were in the elevator. However, who was the one saying

that she did not miss me at all?" Hiram jested. Hiram glanced at her; he gracefully cut another piece of

steak and put it in his mouth. He continued, "Since you did not miss me at all, why should I bring

contempt upon myself by giving you a ring?"

Rachel raised both her eye-brows and wondered when Hiram had become so vengeful?

After they finished lunch, Rachel decided to go home and get some rest, but Hiram disagreed. He

drove the car towards the court.

"Hiram! I saw many reporters at the entrance of the court today, perhaps, you and Rachel could go

there another day?" Chad called them, not long after they were already on their way.

Chad had sent his people to check up on the road when they found several journalists in disguise,

waiting outside the court. It seemed like they had been waiting there for more than one day.

The Rong family was the biggest and most powerful family in H City. Previously, there had been many

journalists who tried to dig up the secrets of the Rong family, but the Rong family had always kept their

affairs to themselves and was very strict in guarding against them.

The appearance of the divorce agreement must have been gained by well-informed journalists, who

camped outside the entrance of the court everyday.

As Hiram listened to Chad's report, he furrowed his eye-brows and said, "No, I will find a way to avoid

the journalists myself."

When he hung up the phone, Rachel asked, curiously, "What happened? Why there are journalists

here?"

"The news of the divorce agreement must have been leaked, and that's why there are many journalists

sitting in front of the entrance waiting for us, " replied Hiram, as he put his phone down. Hiram was also

curious as to how those journalists found out about the divorce agreement.

"Well, if that's the case, how about we go there another day? Anyway, we're not in a hurry, " Rachel

thought over and said.

Rachel had made it very clear that if such a thing got out, her reputation would be damaged. Moreover,

it would bring even more influence on Hiram which would be very bad for him.

However, much to Rachel's surprise, she did not expect for Hiram to disagree. Hiram insisted, "No,

forget it. No matter what happens, it must be done today."

"Why does it have to be today? Are you afraid that I will get cold feet?" Rachel furrowed her eye-brows

and asked.

Hiram looked at her and replied, "Of course not. I'm not afraid at all. Even if you have doubts, as long

as I do not sign the agreement, you are still my woman."

"Then, why did you choose today? Everyday is the same to us." Rachel asked. Rachel knew that if they

did not show up at the Civil Affairs Bureau, the divorce agreement would not be effective, which would

mean that they were not yet divorced. Then why would he be so rushed to go through with this?

"Because, no matter what happens, once I have decided to do something, I have to make sure it is

done." Hiram furrowed his eye-brows and explained calmly.

Once he decided to do something, he had the reason to do it which could not be changed.

Rachel did not say anything. Instead, she moved her sights away from him and looked out of the

window quietly.

They gradually approached the court.

Rachel was sitting on the passenger's seat. When she noticed Hiram park the car on a street not far

from the court, she got very curious. She asked, "Why are we parked here and not driving in?"

Rachel thought that since there were journalists waiting for them at the entrance, the best option would

be to drive through the entrance directly to avoid being stopped by them.

"I will explain to you later. Now let's get out of the car first. You will find out very soon." There was a

strip of clothing stores in that street. Hiram took Rachel's hand and walked into one of the bargain

clothing retail stores.

About 20 minutes later, A noisy couple appeared in front of the court.

The man was about 1.89 meters tall; he wore a pair of white short-sleeved jeans shorts, with a pair of

ordinary running shoes, and a pair of sunglasses from an unknown brand, as he walked in a casual

manner.

The girl was wearing a very student-like dress, with a pair of denim shorts. Meanwhile, her beautiful

face was contorting in anger. She screamed at the man walking ahead of her, "Hey! Why are you

walking so fast? Please, wait for me, will you?"
