Chapter 209 You Are An Economical Wife

"Attention please, everyone. If you have finished your lunch, please go back to your work.

Gossiping about superiors in public is strictly prohibited. This is one of the company rules. Anyone caught breaking the rules will be punished severely."

Rachel raised her head and looked around. She saw Daniel standing in the middle of the staff canteen, holding a microphone.

The whole canteen quieted down immediately after Daniel's announcement. Those who had finished eating quickly put away their dishes and walked away, and those who hadn't lowered their heads and focused on eating.

Rachel thanked Daniel in her heart. Without all the nagging voices, she could finally eat her meal in peace.

When she returned to the office, Daniel was already waiting for her.

"I know you want to thank me. You're welcome, my friend. Don't be too moved and fall in love with me. I can't accept the love of a married woman, " joked Daniel, sitting with his legs crossed and looking at Rachel with a smile.

Rachel smiled back and asked, "How did you know I was in the canteen?"

"Your husband called me and told me you were eating at the canteen. He was worried that you wouldn't be able to put up with the gossip, so he asked me to rescue you. I didn't want to interrupt your meal, so I figured this was the best way to help you, "

Replied Daniel with a light smile, touching the stud on his left ear.

"Ever since you were kidnapped at the theater, Hiram has been blaming himself for not protecting you. So now, he doesn't want to see you be hurt by anyone or anything. He loves you so much!" continued Daniel.

Rachel shrugged and said, "I'm going back to work now."

At her desk, Rachel massaged her head to clear her brain so that she could concentrate on her work. So many things were happening to her recently that she felt like she was going crazy.

She had always thought that she was strong, But sometimes, she felt like life was very hard for her.

She was just a woman. Although she had been trying to stay strong and respond calmly to whatever life threw at her, there were times when she couldn't stand her ground.

Rachel busied herself with work the whole afternoon. Since she hadn't finished her work in the morning, she had to catch up on everything she'd missed.

When it was time to get off work, Rachel and her colleagues were still buried in their work. Ever since they got back from the training, Daniel's team was working harder.

Suddenly, Penny, who was sitting at the desk in front of Rachel'

“Let's go and register our marriage on your birthday!”

Marrying Daniel should have been her best birthday gift, but everything was ruined the moment when she caught him sleeping with another woman on the day before her birthday.

“He’s going to marry that woman! She... was my best friend!"

e other one was decorated based on Hiram's taste.

When Rachel first moved into the house, Hiram had arranged this room for her. Now, she had made the room completely hers. Whenever she wanted time alone, she'd come here.

Sometimes, they slept in this room, and sometimes, they slept in the other one.

"Why would you think I wouldn't like it? It's our wedding photo. Ask them to make one more poster. I'll stick it on the wall of my room, " said Hiram as he walked over and pulled Rachel into his embrace.

Rachel, who'd been texting Celine, dropped her phone onto the bed.

Hiram gave her a kiss on the lips and asked, "Did my father embarrass you when you went to the Rong mansion today?"

"No, he didn't, " replied Rachel, putting her arms around Hiram's neck. "Don't worry. I understand his feelings, so even if he had behaved rashly, I wouldn't blame him.

But that rumor..."

"You mean the rumor about my aunt's child?" asked Hiram, staring at her intently.

Rachel nodded.

"Don't worry. I have arranged for someone to investigate it. I don't believe it's true. My father got too worked up when he heard the news. When he calms down, he'll start doubting it as well, " Hiram said gently, tucking Rachel's hair behind her ears.

"Whatever happened between your father and my aunt, it has nothing to do with you. Don't trouble yourself because of my father's attitude. You're my wife. I will protect you no matter what."

'From now on, I won't let anyone hurt her again, ' swore Hiram in his heart.

The lovers stared at each other affectionately, moving their faces closer and closer to each other. Just as their lips were about to meet, Rachel's phone rang.
