Chapter 364 RaR Castle
The next morning.
It was the sound of her rm clock that burst Rachel out of her sleep. She quickly picked the phone up
and found that someone had reset her rm to half an hourter than she did. Her eyebrows knotted
as she averted her gaze to the other side of the bed but Hiram wasn''t there anymore.
She was about to get up when Rachel received a call from Celine.
"Rachel, are you up yet? You should be there at exactly nine o''clock. Don''t bete!" reminded Celine in
an urgent tone as she was afraid for Rachel to bete.
The bid was going to be held today and it permitted no dy.
"I know. I''m up now. I swear I won''t bete. Don''t worry about that," answered Rachel while yawning.
She ended their call and reached out to ce the phone back to the bedside table.
However, something on the table caught her attention when she turned her head. It was a note.
''Rachel, you can do it!''
Her mind teased as she stared at Hiram''s graceful handwriting. A sweet smile automatically cracked
her lips as she thought about him. Would there even be a time for her to be ready to leave him?
She didn''t think there was. Where else could she find a man as gentle and as considerate as Hiram?
There was nothing that couldpare to him.
Rachel washed her face and changed her clothes. She quickly grabbed her makeup kit and put on a
little makeup after seeing her swollen eyes in the mirror.
She came to theirpany first and then drove towards the West Mountain District together with
Celine.
It was their second visit to this ce and Rachel was more familiar with it now.
Momentster, she was already entering the door. It was when she noticed a huge board beside the
gate with the words RaR Castle clearly written on it.
She didn''t pay too much attention to it thest time she came since she was in a hurry. It was different
now. There was a surge of familiarity that was attacking her senses as she looked at the words.
Rachel realized afterward that RaR actually stood for Rachel Ruan and it was the same name of her
Celine didn''t notice it as she had been careless too. The beautiful scenery of the ce had taken her
attention from everything. "Rachel, the air here is so fresh! It''s a pity that this is thest time for us to
visit here. We will have no chance toe here again!"
"I guess not if we sessfully win the bidding. We will need to establish our partnership with the
castle''s owner. Thus, we''ll have the chance toe here more often." Rachel fixed her eyes on the
road ahead. She should still drive five minutes more after her car entered the castle''s gate if she
wanted to get to the main building of the castle.
The bidding was going to be held inside it so they would have a chance toe into the main building
and have a visit.
"God bless us! Please let us win the bidding! Make this a good start, Lord! It''s our first deal and we are
trying to enter a new stage. Hear me, God! Please bless us!" Celine kept mumbling as she sat on the
passenger seat. Her eyes were tightly closed and her palms were sped.
She suddenly looked like a religious clown and Rachel couldn''t help butugh at her pious expression.
"I should have asked you to take part in the training. That way your skill could be trained and you could
design with us. I believe it is better for us to rely on ourselves rather than pray to God."
"Well, designing is not really my forte. It''s easy for me to run around and talk business with others but
this thing that we are doing now is different. If you still want me to sit with you and do this, well, prepare
to be disappointed, dear." Little did anyone know that Celine had already attempted to learn about
design before. Unfortunately, doing so almost drove her crazy.
It was then that Rachel stopped the car right before the main castle.
She and Celine got off the car together and saw the representatives from the otherpanies there
too.
"Wee to our castle again! Ladies and gentlemen, kindly follow me." Chason greeted everyone and
led them to the castle.
"Hi! Hope you haven''t forgotten about our bet. Remember what you should do when you lose the
game!"
A woman in formal dress suddenly taunted Rachel and Celine upon seeing them. Then, the woman
walked past them proudly as if she didn''t do anything wrong at all.
"I can''t believe this bitch dare to stir up trouble again!" Celine shouted as she pointed to the woman
who just walked away.
"Forget it, okay? Don''t blow it into a major controversy. We can y the game with her while bidding,"
Rachel immediately said to calm Celine.
"I''ve never seen such a vile woman before! She is so filthy. She must be a cougar whom no man
wants!" bbed Celine to express her anger. It only took her a short time before she ironed her suit
with her palms, grabbed on Rachel''s elbow, and walked forward calmly as if nothing happened.
The amazing decorations inside the castle attracted everyone''s attention soon. Everything was just too
beautiful to ignore. Thus, most of them needed some time to stop and inspect everything in there.
The marble floors were beige and immactely clean. The whole ce was exuding the understated
elegance of European style. Its grandness was subtle yet easy to notice. They could just imagine the
castle host as a humble and reserved man with a mboyant appearance.
As someone who was into details, Rachel found that the design of the castle was very homey in
general. The materials might be luxurious and grand but then it got something that could make people
the castle.
"Everyone, this way, please!" Chason stopped them from admiring the ce and led them to the
reception room.
The carpet was Bohemian and Rachel loved this style so much. She was still checking on the room
when her eyesnded on theyout of the sofa. The view simply had her speechless. There was a
ss wall just behind the sofa where people could see the windblown leaves, birds, and hundreds of
colorful flowers that were growing all over the mountainside.
Picturesque was an understatement to describe the view. The wholendscape was backgrounded by
the broad blue sky in which some white clouds were drifting freely. It was a million dor view that was
worth enjoying.
"Oh, don''t look at it anymore. Come in quickly!" Celine immediately held Rachel by her hand, urged
and then walked towards the reception room with her.
There were four groups that were selected and Rachel couldn''t help but feel odd as she stood there.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please take your respective seats! Our host will be here today to watch your
speeches about your projects. We will sign a cooperation contract with the one who wins the bidding as
soon as the resultes out," Chason said and pointed to another ss wall which was tinted in
amber-yellow.
His words made all the people inside the room feel nervous and frozen.
Celine slightly touched Rachel with her arm and whispered,"What do you think? Is the man behind that
ss wall an old man? Is it possible that he built this castle for a lover?"
"Don''t talk nonsense. I believe that the host must have prepared the castle for his wife. It seems that
the host knows the hostess so well. They must have lived together for ages," said Rachel in a small
voice as she cast the amber-yellow ss a quick nce.
It was the sound of Chason''s p that stole everyone''s attention.
"Silence, please. Let''s start this presentation from thepany that gave us the design first.
Representatives from the A Company, please kindly take over the floor."
Meanwhile, there were two men who were just silently watching the scene behind the amber-yellow

ss.
"Hiram, what if Rachel''s design is not as good as the others?" Chad said in a small voice as he sat with
Hiram.
"Chad, why don''t you have confidence in your own family? What do you think of Rachel? Even if their
designs are better, we just can''t let Rachel''s effort go to waste. Thus, we should use her project!" Carl
refuted as he secretly came in.
Hiram, who was sitting in front of them, nced at them and said,"Shut up!"
Chad and Carl immediately stopped talking and focused on the people who were presenting their
design proposal.
It was going to be Rachel''s turn shortly after this.
