Chapter 110 The Woman Acting The Fool
Rachel smiled awkwardly as she looked at Hiram, who was sitting opposite her, and the seemingly
eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl beside him. Then she dragged over the chair next to Daniel and sat
down indifferently. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
"Wow, so many dishes. I'm so hungry..." Rachel said. Then she took out a pair of chopsticks from the
basket and started eating intently.
She understood that her seat was the most convenient for serving. Although she did not know why her
seat was occupied by a young girl, it didn't matter. Hiram had always been quite attractive to girls. It
was not surprising that the girl would sit beside him.
Daniel sized Rachel up with curiosity. 'I thought she would be jealous and angry. But she is acting so
calmly. What's wrong with her?'
"Carl. This is very delicious. Have a try!" Rachel passed a dish to Carl, who was sitting on her other
side.
Jill stopped looking at Rachel, turned to Hiram and said, "Mr. Rong, I grew up in this mountain area, so
I am quite familiar with it. How about I lead you up the mountain tomorrow morning?"
Chad, who was on the other side of Hiram, refused, "No. We have already hired an experienced guide.
He has gone around the mountain many times."
"It is different, sir. My home is right next to the Cliff Mountain, so I know it better than anyone." Jill was
persistent.
Daniel ate a piece of food and nodded, "That's right. Then just go with us. We have already reached
this point. Jill is very experienced. What's more, she can also accompany Rachel."
Gary pretended to cough. He was very close to Daniel, so he knew that the guy was very cunning
despite his impressive skills.
"Let's go together, then, " Hiram said calmly.
Anyway, even if he refused now, John Zhang would go to him and discuss it personally later.
People are all selfish. John would never take pains to welcome Hiram if there were no chance of
making a large sum of money.
He even sent his niece, who was still a high school student, to his side.
After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms. They all shared a room with another person, except
for Hiram, who had a room to himself.
The conditions were poor. And it was rare to have many people come here at the same time, so there
were not enough rooms for them to stay in.
And after they were all settled in, John called Jill to his room.
The two had a chat there.
"Jill, did Mr. Rong allow you to join them tomorrow?" John asked eagerly.
"Yes. He agreed." Jill gently nodded her head. She couldn't help feeling shy every time she thought of
Hiram's handsome looks and kind demeanor.
John delightedly patted her on the shoulder, "That's good. You know what to do, right? If this happens,
our family could really benefit a lot!"
"Uncle, I know! Don't worry. I think that he is quite into me. We can probably succeed..." Jill answered
with a sweet smile.
"Great! Jill, be smarter and more intelligent. They will stay here for a few days. If you play this well and
use your attractive qualities wisely at the proper times, Mr. Rong may take you out of these mountains,
" John said with a lewd smile.
He had told Jill that a woman, no matter how smart she was or how successful her cause was, would
still be inferior to someone who found herself a rich husband.
Jill looked down, "I understand. Uncle. My mom has already told me about this. I know what to do."
"Yes. Good girl!" John nodded his head with satisfaction.
Rachel was in her room. Though the infrastructure here was too humble compared to that in the city,
the natural surroundings were wonderful and breathtaking. With the window open, the cool mountain
wind would blow in, giving an incomparable fresh feeling.
She stretched herself, thinking that it would take some time for Hiram to discuss some details with
Daniel in the engineer's room next door.
After a while, the door opened. Rachel turned around to see that it was Jill rather than Hiram.
"Hello, Ms. Ruan. Umm... Do you mind if I share this room with you?" Jill asked with a quilt in her arms
as she looked at Rachel, who was standing near the window.
Rachel paused, then she nodded, "That's fine. Come in!"
'This is good. At least Hiram wouldn't have any chance to do anything stupid, ' Rachel thought.
Rachel knew that they had too many people here, so the rooms might be inadequate. It was not a big
deal for her to share the room with someone else.
Rachel did a simple wash and went to bed. The bed was basic but it felt good to lie in it. Although she
had slept in the car all the way, it hadn't been very comfortable.
About an hour later, someone knocked at the door.
"Coming! Who is it?" Jill replied before Rachel had time to do so. She got out of bed and opened the
door in her pajamas.
"Mr. Rong. You are here to..." It was Hiram. Jill bit her lip and shyly looked at Rachel, who was lying in
the bed playing with her mobile phone.
'Too bad, someone else is here. Had I known that Hiram would come to me tonight, I would have asked
uncle to arrange a separate room for me, ' Jill thought.
Hiram looked into the room, and saw Rachel. He squinted his deep eyes, and called her. "Hey you.
Come out!"
Rachel sighed in her heart, got out of the bed, put on her shoes and walked towards the door. After
getting close to Hiram, she winked and asked, "Mr. Rong, what's the matter?"
Hiram snorted. This woman was getting better and better at playing the fool in front of him.
"Come to my room. I have something to talk to you. By the way, bring your things with you!" He stood
at the door with his arms crossed, looking at her.
Rachel knew that she had no choice but to comply in order not to get sent back before going up the
mountain. Reluctantly, she picked up her clothes, cellphone and charger. She knew that Hiram wouldn't
let her back in this room anymore.
"Ms. Ruan... You are..."
Jill looked at Rachel confusedly.
Rachel smiled to Jill while holding her things in arms, "Sorry Jill, I don't think I will be back tonight. You
can have this room to yourself."
Then she handed her things to Hiram, "Here, hold these for me!"
Hiram didn't say a word and held her things. Rachel turned back to pick up her bag on the table, then
she left with Hiram.
Jill stood at the door watching them. After a while, she finally realized that the relationship between
Rachel and Hiram was not simple.
After entering Hiram's room, Rachel found that this was really the best room in the farmhouse. It was
well ventilated and it had a much better view than hers.
Hiram locked the door as soon as they got in. He threw her things on the sofa, and hugged Rachel
from behind, "Why didn't you come to my room before I asked you to do so? And I had to get you here.
Do you still remember what you have promised me?"
Rachel looked down at the arms on her waist, feeling his warm breath on her neck, "I thought the room
was for myself, but Jill came. I was too embarrassed to leave..."
"Nonsense!"
Hiram grunted. He caught her lips from behind and kissed her deeply.
His eyebrows met with a frown when he felt that Rachel shuddered because of the way he was holding
her.
Hiram took a deep breath to suppress his inner passions, "What's wrong? Are you afraid of me?"
Rachel bit her lip and shook her head. Since that night, she couldn't help shuddering every time he
came close to her.
This kind of fear and reaction was out of raw instinct.
