Chapter 50 Is He The General Manager
Chapter 50 Is He The General Manager
Rachel hesitated to go in. She wondered how she could face Hiram now.
Nonetheless, she thought that she's just worrying too much. Hiram must have been in his own
bedroom now; she might not see him.
Rachel shook her head and walked into the villa.
Before she returned to her own bedroom, Rachel couldn't help but silently walk towards Hiram's
bedroom. The door was closed. Rachel leaned her head against the door, rested her ear on it and
listened carefully.
She wanted to know if Hiram was still angry. If what Celine said was true, Rachel was afraid that she
had really irritated Hiram so much.
"What are you doing?"
Rachel suddenly heard a voice behind her. It sent a shiver down to her spine. She was shocked and
immediately turned rigid.
She slowly turned her head around and saw Hiram standing behind her with a towel wrapped around
his neck. Beads of sweat were dripping down from his bare chest. He seemed to have taken an
exercise and come back.
Oh, right! Rachel suddenly remembered that there was a large gym upstairs.
"I...I thought this was my room..." Rachel forced a smile and said embarrassedly. This explanation
sounded so ridiculous, but Rachel wasn't able to think of any other excuse.
Hiram didn't say anything. He steered away from her, opened the door and went into his bedroom.
He didn't close the door though.
Rachel saw him go straight to the bathroom.
Not knowing why, Rachel unconsciously followed him into his bedroom.
Rachel actually didn't dare to enter his bedroom. But it seemed that she couldn't control her body. She
wanted to stay there and wait for him. She wanted to say something more to him, even just one more
word.
Some moments later, Hiram had done taking shower and came out from the bathroom. When he saw
Rachel standing near the doorstep of his bedroom waiting for him, He finally asked her.
"What's up?"
"Um... Well...I want to ask you something. What time will we set out tomorrow? What's the weather like
there? Do I need to bring something else with me? How long will we stay there? Do I need to ask for a
vacation leave for a few more days?"
Rachel unceasingly asked him.
When she realized that she had been asking too many questions, Rachel embarrassedly bit her lip and
stopped.
Hiram turned around and tied his bathrobe tightly. Then, he sat on the bedside, grabbed his phone and
looked at his schedule. "We will stay there for two or three days. Your days off are enough. The climate
there is almost the same as it is here. Tomorrow morning, you need to go to my company with me. I
have some work to handle first. It will take me just about one hour. Then, we will go straight to the
airport."
Hiram answered Rachel's questions all at once. He didn't raise his head to look at her. Rachel
understood that he might be still angry at her.
"Okay, I got it. I will get up earlier tomorrow morning, " Rachel said as she walked out the door.
She came out of his bedroom, closed the door, and then heaved a sigh of relief. Afterwards, she went
back to her bedroom.
That whole night, Rachel had woken up from her nightmare for three times. She was so frightened by
her nightmares.
Hiram suddenly became a horrible ghost and throttled her with his hands in one of her nightmares.
Then, next nightmare, Hiram became a vampire and bit her neck to suck her blood. Rachel couldn't
sleep well. When she woke up the next morning, she immediately looked at her watch. She was so
surprised. 'Oh! It's nearly eight o'clock!'
Rachel immediately got out of the bed. She quickly cleaned herself and changed her clothes. She
opened the wardrobe and pulled out the luggage which she had already packed last night. She then
walked towards her bedroom's door.
Rachel saw Hiram standing outside when she opened the door.
Rachel was so frightened and immediately stepped backward when she saw him. She was frightened
because she was in a hurry. Besides that, she also recalled the scenes from her nightmares where she
saw Hiram hurting her.
"Why are you so scared of me? Do I look like an evil?" Hiram said. He was impatiently waiting for her.
He strode forward, dragged her luggage and said, "Hurry up. You can have your breakfast in my
company."
Rachel calmed down and came back to her senses. She hastily went after Hiram.
When they arrived at the company, Hiram quickly went to the meeting room. He left Rachel alone in his
office.
Rachel waited patiently for him. After a while, Carl Fang brought her breakfast.
Rachel felt very tired and wore a spiritless face. Maybe because of her nightmares last night. She
supported her head with her arm on the table while eating her breakfast.
Time flew quickly. One hour had passed by. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
But Hiram still didn't come back to his office. Rachel stood up from the sofa. Her body turned a little stiff
after sitting for so long. She stretched her body and walked around the office while waiting for Hiram for
a few more minutes. Eventually, she felt so bored and went out of the office.
It was very quiet in the corridor. The floor was very clean and was covered with deep colored carpet.
There was no noise heard when someone walked on the carpet. It was, indeed, a very quiet working
environment.
Rachel walked around for a while. She found that all the offices' doors, except for the CEO's office,
were made of glass. The people outside the offices could see how the employees were working inside.
When she walked towards the meeting room, she stared inside through the glass door. Rachel stopped
and looked at Hiram who was still having the meeting there.
There was a big, oval table in the middle of the meeting room. All seats around the table were
occupied. There were also screen and projector beside the table that was displaying some data.
Someone was standing in front while having a presentation. All the staff inside were attentively listening
to the presentation.
Though Rachel couldn't hear what they were discussing about, she still could feel the tension of the
meeting.
Hiram expressed his opinions time after time during the presentation. Every time he spoke, people took
notes and listened to him carefully.
"Excuse me, miss. Who are you?"
Rachel was so focused on what was happening inside the meeting room. Suddenly, a voice interrupted
her. She turned around and saw a woman that was wearing a uniform and a pair of glasses.
The secretary, who didn't recognize Rachel, looked at her. It was a working area and no one could
enter that area without the CEO's permission. What was that strange woman doing here?
"I am waiting for someone, " Rachel said. She guessed that the woman was an employee there, so she
explained to her.
"Waiting for someone? Who are you waiting for?" The secretary asked while she pushed her glasses
up to her nose. She was curious about who she was waiting for. Who was so bold to bring a woman
here without the CEO's permission?
Rachel pointed at a man inside the room through the glass window. She raised her chin to direct her
and said, "It's him. He said that the meeting would be over in an hour. But it has already been one hour
and ten minutes."
The secretary looked into the direction where Rachel's finger was pointed. But from the secretary's
perspective, she could only see the general manager, who was sitting opposite to Hiram.
"Well, it's the general manager. He is becoming so bold. He shows no care to the company's rules.
How dare he bring a woman here?" The secretary sneered. She raised her chin and said to Rachel
arrogantly, "Miss, please go out and wait outside! Even if he is the general manager, he has no right to
allow you to wait here!"
Rachel was shocked and thought, 'Is Hiram the general manager?'
"Okay. No problem. I will go out now, " Rachel said.
Since the secretary asked her to leave, Rachel thought she had better follow the company's rules. She
would be very impolite if she still stayed there. She might even bring trouble to Hiram.
As she watched Rachel going towards the exit, the secretary shook her head and said with sarcasm,
"The general manager is always very serious with his work. Why did he bring a young girl here? Good
luck to him. He will have his end from this company soon!"
The secretary's voice was loud enough to be heard by Rachel. After she heard the secretary's words,
Rachel felt so strange. She thought that Hiram was the boss of the company. But now, she was
surprised to find out that he wasn't the boss. He was even disliked by his workmates.
Rachel walked and passed the long glass window. Inside the meeting room, Hiram incidentally raised
his head and noticed Rachel that was walking in the corridor. He looked at his wristwatch and found it
was already late.
"Okay, so much for today, " Hiram concluded the meeting. He immediately stood up and walked
towards the door. His assistant hastily cleared all his files and papers on the desk.
"Rachel!"
Hiram pushed the door open and yelled at Rachel who was about to go into the elevator.
His voice was loud enough to be heard by the people in the meeting room. They all looked outside the
long and transparent glass window.
Rachel was about to enter the elevator, but when she heard someone call her, she turned around.
"Didn't I ask you to wait for me in my office? Where are you going?"
Hiram frowned and asked her.
Rachel shrugged her shoulders and said innocently, "Mr. Rong! So you are the general manager here.
It's such a high position, too. But a beautiful woman wearing a pair of eyeglasses told me that I couldn't
wait inside. Then she asked me to wait outside."
"What did you say?"
Hiram was amused after he heard what Rachel said. He turned around and shouted, "Elsa, come
here!"
