Chapter 192 Hiram Got What He Wanted Again
It was already 11 p.m. when Rachel got back to her bedroom. Fortunately, it was Saturday tomorrow,
which meant that she could wake upte the next morning since she didn''t have to go to work.
Hiram went to the gym upstairs to exercise as usual. About 30 minutester, he came down and saw
the light in Rachel''s room was still on.
"Rachel, are you sleeping?" asked Hiram, knocking on the door.
As Rachel was hesitating whether to answer him, he knocked again. "No, what do you want? I won''t
open the door for you. You''re not allowed to sleep on my bed before you hand in the repentance letter,
" replied Rachel finally.
She wasn''t sleepy yet. Right now, she was lying on her bed, eating snacks and watching a TV series
on her iPad. She rarely had time to herself, so she nned to rx. Tomorrow, she''d have to prepare
for the auction on Sunday.
"I just want toe in to take a look at you. Open the door."
"No way. This is one of your usual tricks. Don''t try to fool me. I know that once I open the door and let
you in, you won''t leave easily. If you really have something to say to me, just say it at the door. I can
hear you, "
Called Rachel to the door, refusing to be persuaded.
Hiram stood with folded arms outside the door, trying to think of another way to get in. It seemed that
Rachel had learned the wisdom of coping with him and wasn''t going to fall for his usual tricks.
"I''ve never broken my word to you, and I''ve never used tricks on you, " he finally said.
Slightly irritated, Rachel turned off her iPad screen and walked toward the door, countering, "How dare
you say that? You''re all talk. As for your evil deeds, do you want me to list them out one by one?"
"Nonsense. Give me one example of an evil deed, " replied Hiram, Sniggering as he pulled a key out of
his pocket and inserted it into the keyhole.
"Well, prepare yourself. The first one is when we first met, you recognized me but you acted like you
didn''t." Rachel was lost in thought recollecting the past that she didn''t notice what Hiram was doing.
Then you set a trap for me and forced me topromise. You''re a double-faced man, worse than a
liar."
"Anything else?"
Asked Hiram, turning the key.
"You''re mean and you have no sense of shame. You..."
Rachel, who was fully enjoying making usations against Hiram, paused suddenly at the sound of
the door opening. When she turned to it, the handsome and mischievous face of Hiram came into sight.
"I''ve put away all the keys. Where did you get that one?" Rachel asked in surprise, noticing the key in
the keyhole.
She clearly remembered that she had stored all the keys and locked them in the cab in her
bedroom.
"It''s just a key. If you want, I can give you one more, " replied Hiram casually, walking to the bed with
his hands in his pockets.
When he pulled back the quilt, he saw a big pink cartoon cat pattern right in the middle of the bed.
Rachel had changed the bed sheet into a pink one. He stopped walking, struggling with himself.
Hiram, with his mature personality, was really not ustomed to sleeping on a bed decorated in such a
girlish style.
"You''d better go back to your own room. I don''t think you''ll sleep well here." Seeing the man''s awkward
reaction, Rachel couldn''t helpughing as she walked back to her bed to resume watching the TV
series.
She always liked pink bedding, but normally, she had to amodate herself to Hiram''s likes. Now
that she had the chance to sleep alone for a few days, she could furnish her bed as she liked.
After some hesitation, Hiram sat down on the bed beside Rachel. He wasn''t going to leave Rachel to
her own enjoyment.
"Never mind. I''ll imagine that this is my future daughter''s room, then I can ept it easier, " said Hiram
to Rachel as well as himself.
''He is really a thick-skinned man, '' thought Rachel to herself. She raised her head and cast a nce at
Hiram, pushing him over with her elbow silently.
Then she went on watching her series.
Hiram sat silently, watching together with her. "The leading man''s name is re Pei; I know him. He
was my ssmate when I was at college, and he''s currently shooting a film at a film and television
base affiliated with Streams Company. If you want to see him in person, I can arrange that, " said
Hiram suddenly.
"Really?" eximed Rachel in an excited voice, at the same time taking a snack and lifting it to Hiram''s
mouth to please him.
"Yes, Why would I lie?"
"Then how about tomorrow? We''re both free. Take me to the base, please?"
Hiram frowned at the snack and then ate it with a slight hesitation. He had never been fond of junk
food. "Okay, the film base belongs to the Rong family. You can go whenever you want."
Rachel was so excited that she hugged him tightly around the neck, paying no attention to the snacks
that were spilling on the bed. She was a big fan of re Pei. She was thrilled at the thought of meeting
her idol in person.
"I didn''t know you are a star chaser, " said Hiram in a slightly unpleasant voice. He was a little bit
jealous that Rachel was so crazy about another man.
"Not exactly, " replied Rachel, shaking her head. "I just like a few leading actors. I''m not like those
crazy fans who are fascinated by the private lives of those stars. re Pei happens to be the hero of
the series that I like watching currently, so I want to see him in person."
"Let''s make a deal then, " said Hiram with a smile while leaning against the pillow.
"I promise you''ll get to do more than just see him." With that, he stared at her smilingly, waiting for her
answer.
Rachel was divided between her wish to see the actor she liked and a certain urge to maintain her
principles.
"If you don''t answer, it means we have a deal. I''m going to take a shower, " Hiram said, seeing Rachel
struggling to make a choice. He stood up and walked towards the bathroom. "We should go to bed
early and get up early tomorrow morning. If we reach there by noon, we can have lunch together with
re Pei, " he added before stepping into the bathroom.
Hearing this, Rachel, who had just been about to say something to refuse Hiram, swallowed her words.
Under the temptation of more attractive terms, Rachel felt the scale in her heart tilted a little bit. Finally,
she gave up adhering to her principles. She knew Hiram. Once he made up his mind to stay, he would
never leave. After all, he was herwful husband. Sleeping with him for one night was not a big deal.
What was more, she could get close contact with her idol. Thinking of that made Rachel agree to the
deal with ease.
"Hiram..."
"What?"
"I''m worried that I won''t be able to get up early tomorrow morning. Can we do it quickly just once?"
She asked in a pleading tone as she stared at Hiram, who was getting on top of her.
"Don''t worry. You can catch up on sleep in the car." Then he kissed her hard to prevent her from
arguing. In the dimly lit room, the couple were sweating and panting as theypletely lost themselves
in making love.
The next morning, Rachel felt sore all over her body. She began to regret having agreed to let Hiram
stay.
She med herself for giving her principles up so easily.
"Rachel, what are you thinking about? Get in the car." The familiar voice came from Carl.
Pulling herself out of her thoughts, Rachel noticed Carl waiting for her on the side of the road in a white
Benz touring car. "Why do you drive this car today?"
"Hiram asked me to drive this touring car today. He said you might want to sleep on the way. Besides,
the filming site is in poor condition, so it''s better for us to take this car, " Carl replied, getting out of the
car and waiting for Hiram with Rachel.
After a while, Hiram came with a bag. "Come on. It''s alreadyte. I don''t know if we can get there
before lunch."
Rachel stepped in. It was very spacious inside the car, and it had everything they needed. She couldn''t
help eximing how good it was being rich. Hiram had lots of cars, which meant that he could choose
whichever one was most convenient for him on any particr day.
After taking his seat, Hiram turned on his notebookputer and began to work. As a big boss in
charge of arge range of business, time was precious for him. He had meant to work at thepany
today, but he had changed his mind for Rachelst night.
"Would there be a lot of people attending the charity auction tomorrow night?" asked Rachel, who was
settlingfortably into the bed.
"Yes, well-known business and political figures from H City as well as a few other cities have been
invited. And big stars who were born in H City will also be present, " replied Hiram, stopping his work
and turning to Rachel. The charity auction which was held every three years was a big event.
Only enterprises and individuals that received the invitation could attend.

It wasn''t only an auction for the purpose of charity, but it was also an opportunity forpanies to build
their images and establish interpersonal rtionships.
"Oh, my god!" eximed Rachel, beginning to worry about theing event.
She had never been to such an asion before. Once she appeared with Hiram in public, her identity
as Hiram''s wife would bemon knowledge. After that, her every word and action would reflect
on Hiram and Streams Company, so she would have to behave properly and be careful in public.
The more she thought about it, the more stressed she became. Thinking she had been too hasty in
epting Joanna''s invitation, she wanted to give herself a p.
