It'll Come Naturally

need for him to wave, but he was afraid his son would not see him.

"Oh! Do you? That must be true. How could our beautiful little princess not have any followers?" Rain waved at Huey to come to him, as the popular kid emerged surrounded by girls. Actually, Rain was tall enough to easily be spotted among the crowd and there was no "Daddy." Huey smiled seeing his father. He didn't appear as excited as his sister was. Huey had resumed his old habitual behavior of being cold and aloof, as always.

"Okay. Let's go!" Rain held his hand and waved at the other kids who had begun noticing his celebrity presence. It was a natural move, but it was enough to show off Rain's attractiveness and impress them. The kids' mothers began to complain why such a charming man was not their partner.

"Daddy, could we visit Aunt Leena's home tomorrow? It's Saturday tomorrow." Huey asked him carefully after they got into the car.

"Why do you want to visit her home?" Rain asked, amused, buckling his kids into their child seats.

"Because Richard is there!" Huey stole a glance at his father and hoped Rain wouldn't see through his scheme.

"Oh? So Richard is the reason you want to go to Leena's, not her delicious home-made snacks, right?" Rain slid behind the wheel with a sly smile, turned to check his kids' seats one last time, and then he turned the key in the ignition.

"Well, that's part of the reason," Huey smiled in embarrassment. Rain certainly read his mind.

"Huey is a foodie, right?" Joyce grinned, seeing her brother was awkward.

"You are a foodie!" Huey gave his sister a stern look. Joyce was definitely a foodie, as all the snacks from Huey's followers died in Joyce's mouth.

At this moment, Rain had no other choice but to remain silent. He didn't want to show favoritism to either, so he waited for them to sort it out themselves.

While the three of them were on their way home, Annie phoned Rain unexpectedly, saying that she got a flat tire for no reason. She asked Rain to come pick her up.

Annie had endured a long day. First, her water was drugged with something, and then Eleanor picked at her all day. But none of that really fazed her. However Annie really blew her top when she ended up with a flat tire, just as she was about to go home. She had no other choice but to phone Rain for help. While waiting for her life saver, Eleanor approached her again, evidently not done with her ruthless campaign against Annie.

"Annie, have you changed your tire? How about I give you a ride?" Eleanor smirked at Annie, taking a dark pleasure at her discomfort.

"No, thanks!" The weasel goes to pay his respects to the hen, not with the best of intentions. Eleanor was certainly not kind enough to be concerned about her.

"What? Why? Do you frown at my car, because mine isn't as fancy as yours?" Eleanor sneered. She looked at Annie's luxury car with both contempt and envy. 'Why does she have to drive such a luxury car? Does she want to show off how rich she is? Why must she steal all the limelight? Why does she have to be popular and liked by everyone who meets her?' Eleanor thought to herself.

"No, it's not what you think Miss Xiao. I called my husband to pick me up. Thank you for your kind offer," Annie explained in a low voice. She stared at her flat tire and wondered why it had sustained a puncture, it had been fine that morning.

"Your husband? That's funny. Annie, are you showing off to me how happy you are with your husband?" Eleanor glared at Annie, gnashing her teeth.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Suit yourself. You can believe what you like." Annie didn't want to tolerate her sarcasm any more. She was by no means a push-over and was already irritated enough, finding herself with a flat tire after a long day. Annie couldn't hold back her rage this time, as Eleanor came to irritate her yet again.

"Believe what I like? What do you know?" Eleanor had fallen low these days, as she did not get many acting jobs. She was excited at the opportunity to improve her standing by shooting an advertisement, but she didn't expect that she had to work with Annie, the one she hated so much. All of this added to Eleanor's fury. Enraged she gave Annie's wheel a puncture and waited to see how poorly she would react. But it surprised Eleanor to see her plot fail as Annie had asked Rain to pick her up.

"Miss Xiao, why do you have to treat me like this? We just had to work together today. There is no need to find fault with me." Annie thought she was done with Eleanor after working with her last time. But the advertising circle was so small that they met yet again. There was no way Annie could avoid her, it seemed.

"Look at who started all of this!" Eleanor wouldn't seek fault with Annie, if Annie wasn't better than her in all aspects.

"For what happened today, I don't think I started it." Annie checked the time again. Rain should arrive soon as half an hour had passed.

"I bet you believe that. You are so cocksure." Eleanor hated Annie as her smiles reminded Eleanor of the happiness that she now enjoyed, a happiness that she stole from Eleanor. The joy of having Rain should have been hers, but now Annie flaunted it.

Annie rolled her eyes not wanting to deal with the crazy Eleanor any more. She unlocked her car and decided to wait for Rain in her car. Behind the layers of Plexiglas, she could ignore Eleanor's nonsense.

"Are you afraid to face me? Because I am right, and on to something." Eleanor taunted Annie again, not planning to let her off. As Annie tried to enter the vehicle, Eleanor strode towards her purposefully.

"I don't want to talk to you any more." Annie didn't bother to hide her dislike of Eleanor any more and gave her a stern warning look.

"Look at you! How ill-educated you are! I guess your parents aren't decent people." Eleanor growled with clenched fists, she wanted to punch Annie right in her face. She wanted to teach Annie a lesson, by telling her that she was from a low class family. "Eleanor, you are going too far now! This is just between us. Don't involve my parents." Annie didn't get into her car and stood her ground, glaring at Eleanor. She didn't know why Eleanor kept picking at her.

"I just said what I am thinking! You know what? You are such a common bitch." Eleanor used cutting remarks to wound Annie, and the more she talked the angrier she became, like a rabid dog.

"I'm a bitch? I am going to show you what a bitch would do!" Annie suddenly slapped Eleanor across her face before she could continue her abuse. Eleanor was way out of line and Annie wasn't going to just stand there any more!

"You...you slapped me!" Eleanor touched her hot face in shock. Annie was always kind and looked like a softy. Her fury took Eleanor by surprise.

"You asked for it. It isn't my fault." Annie shook her hand, which was bruised in the attack. It was the first time she slapped someone, and she began to regret it instantly as she salvaged some composure.

"What? I am going to tear you apart, bitch!" Eleanor grabbed Annie's hair as she lost her mind in a blind rage.

It was the first time that Annie was involved in a fight, and she was completely at a loss for action in the moment. Eleanor attacked her viciously with nails, pushing and shoving her up against the car. Fortunately, Rain arrived just in time and saw what was happening. He rushed from his car immediately and ran to the two of them.

"Stop it! What are you doing?" Rain roared above Eleanor's screaming, his face livid. He was shocked by the unexpected scene that greeted him. Rain quickly dragged Eleanor away from Annie.

"Mr. Xia, I..." Eleanor stammered, still holding her hand to cover her now swollen face, evidence of Annie's hard slap.

"Annie, are you okay?" Rain ignored Eleanor, his only care was for Annie, and if she was okay. Gently he helped Annie to fix her hair and checked if she was hurt.

"I am okay," Annie answered, biting her lip. She was embarrassed that Rain found her fighting with someone, she had been raised better than this. Annie was flushed and afraid to look into his concerned eyes.

"Tell me what's going on." Rain glared fiercely at Eleanor as he spoke. He couldn't believe that this crazy woman was messing with his wife again. It seemed that he wasn't up to date with what happened inside FX lately. Otherwise he would never have allowed his wife to work with Eleanor again.

"I... She attacked me first!" Eleanor's voice trembled, on the verge of tears. Rain was as cold as Mr. Mu, they both cared nothing for women that they were not involved with.

"But I'm guessing that you messed with her first." Rain knew Annie as someone who didn't like rocking the boat in any way. She always ignored other people's unkindness as much as she could and never fought back, unless they went too far. That she struck Eleanor proved one thing: that the crazy woman had gone too far, and was way out of line.00000
