Chapter 331 - Some time away (5)

She then held his arm and pushed him out of the room "Liam I am only tolerating you because you are Oliver's friend otherwise I would have beaten you up a long time ago."

He smiled and raised both his hands "Alright beauty, I was just messing around, I was free now so I came to ask if you want to go looking for apartments."

Rachel let out a breath "You could have called me."

"I don't have your number."

"You could have called Oliver."

"I did but he didn't pick up."

Rachel chuckled "He must be asleep but now that you are here and he is asleep we can go looking."

She then let him in "You wait here I will quickly change my clothes and come."

He nodded and within a few minutes Rachel changed her clothes and came out, she called Oliver to see if he was awake and she could get a helper to deal with him but he didn't answer and Rachel assumed that he was asleep.

She went out to look for the apartment that she wanted and finally after seeing a few houses she found the one to her liking. She paid for the house and dealt with the paperwork as she wanted to move in as quickly as possible. As everything was done and the house was in a good condition too besides all her clothes were still packed as she didn't have the time to unpack then, she decided to move the next day. She thanked Liam and said "Besides being a jerk, you are a nice guy."

He smiled "Thanks"

With that their conversation turned peaceful from flirty. After that both of them had dinner and he dropped her off at the hotel. Instead of going to her room she went to Oliver's too to check why he was not awake yet and when she opened it with the extra key yeah had handed her, he found her lying there with a woman. 

The bad part was that he was unconscious, Rachel went near her to check this and she found out that he was drugged. With her movements in the room the girl woke up, she looked at Rachel and said "You need to leave the room."

Rachel grabbed her neck "What is your plan and why him?"

She didn't know who this person was and said "Quickly let me go, media will be here any minute and once I am done with my plan I will ask Oliver to give you the money, you want."

Rachel laughed "Really" and then her eyes turned cold, she knocked down this girl and took her to her own room because as per this person's information she didn't have much time as media would be there very soon. She then covered up Oliver nicely and it looked as if he was sleeping peacefully before going back to her room. 

She had not hit the girl very hard and when she returned, he other one was awake and just about to escape when Rachel got hold of her and twisted her arm "Where do you think you are going?"

The girl gritted her teeth trying to free herself from the grip and said angrily "Do you know who I am?"

Rachel said with a straight face "Why don't you know who you are?" her voice then turned cold as ice "What were you trying to do?"

Rachel's words fueled up her anger and she shouted "I am the top model of the country and right now I can create something much trouble for you."

Rachel twisted her hand further to have her wince in pain "Like you were going to do for Oliver."

She gave out a cold laugh "As if you didn't come to his room with the same intention, if I could get my name connected to him, I could ask him to do anything."

Rachel kicked her to the ground and beat her up and said angrily "Can't you work hard to achieve that?"

He looked at her "Who the hell are you to lecture me and beat me up, I will sue you and it is not easy for a woman to just climb up a ladder by working hard."

Rachel didn't have any hope that this person would understand anything so she warned "I am Rachel, his friend and if I see you stir up trouble again, it will be a piece of cake for me to finish your career."

The girl widened her eyes and then said "You too were given everything by your father, you had him."

Rachel knew it was useless to argue but she still said one last thing "I got it because he thought I was worthy" and then she threw her out of her room. 

She went to see the situation in front of Oliver's room and his room was filled with reporters while he was still asleep. Rachel rolled her eyes and thought 'How can you still sleep.'

As she was going to confront the reporters for disturbing their privacy, they began to leave as they found nothing worthwhile. She heaved a sigh of relief and entered his room, she shook him but he didn't wake up. Rachel thought that the drug must be really strong so she picked up the water jugs from the side table and put it on his face. He got up with a jolt and extremely scared, Rachel laughed at his reaction and listening to her voice he calmed down. 

When she was done, he asked "Why are you here and why did you pour water on me?"

Rachel laughed "You should thank me for being wise enough to check on you when you didn't wake up for this long."

He looked confused "What do you mean?"

Rachel explained everything to him and said "Now you owe me big time."

He nodded "I do"

Rachel then punched his arm tightly "Don't you know that you don't eat or drink anything a stranger offers you so why did you do that?"

He rubbed his arm "Aw! How much strength do you have and I didn't eat anything a stranger offered me, I just came back after having lunch with..."

He trailed off and then his eyes widened "It must be the waitress that was instructed to put in something because now that I recall she was behaving nervously but at that time I ignored it thinking she must be new."

Rachel nodded her head "You have to be careful, you must be the target of so many ladies here as they can force you into a marriage."

Oliver nodded "But my residence was supposed to be a secret."

Rachel gave it a thought "As long as you stay in a hotel you identity will be discovered."

He panicked "You have to help me I can't marry a person who wants to marry me for my money."

Rachel placed her hands on his shoulders and said "Relax, I have bought a place and I will be moving in there tomorrow, you can stay there with me until you are in the country."

He jumped up excitedly "Really, thank you"

Rachel smiled and then asked "Do you know how to cook?"

He nodded his head and the smile on Rachel's face widened "That's great because I was worried that I would have to eat outside everyday."

He looked at her surprised "Your parents are such great cooks and you don't know how to do that."

Rachel held her pride "It's not like that I know how to cook noodles."

He laughed "Really?"

Rachel looked at him angrily "Do you want a place to live or not."

He nodded and suppressed his laughter, Rachel shook her head and let out a smile then asked "How are you feeling now?"

He became serious "Now that you ask my head hurts and it is feeling so heavy."

Rachel nodded "Don't worry it will be fine but first I will order something for you, eat up and you will feel better."

He nodded and Rachel picked up the phone to order room service, after doing that she got up to leave the room as she said "Food will be here in a while, I will be leaving first."

He saw that she was still angry while she was leaving the room so he asked "Where are you going?"

She turned around and smiled "To my room"

Oliver laughed "No you are not, tell the truth."

Rachel rolled her eyes "Fine, I am going to meet the manager and ask him how could he let reporters enter like that."

Oliver raised his brows "Just ask"

"If you know then why are you asking?"

Oliver then said "You don't have to go because they must have a reason to let them in."

Rachel's brows furrowed "And what is that?"

Oliver said "Come here, sit down and accompany me to eat, I can't eat alone."

Rachel moved towards him and said "That's not the answer to my question."

He nodded "Sit down and I will tell you."
