Chapter 415 His Important Client


    Hiram closed his eyes.


    He wiped off the water, which Rachel spit out onto his face. With several drops of water on his thick,


    ck eyshes, Hiram looked at Rachel and said,"Do you realize that I am about to see a very


    important client?"


    Rachel swallowed the remaining water in her mouth as she took the towel and tissue from Ben. She


    quickly helped Hiram wipe off the water and said,"You still look handsome. It''s no big deal. Even if you


    just fell into the swimming pool and came out of it, you would still look handsome and presentable!"


    Ben, who was in the driver seat, almost burst out intoughter, but he tried his best to control himself.


    His face turned extremely red because of it.


    Ben dared not tough ever since Rachel had left.


    Hiram red at Ben, took the towel from Rachel and wiped the water from his face himself.


    Rachel then took out some tissues from her handbag to help Hiram dry his wet hair.


    "Take off your jacket, Hiram. Anyone can see that there is a water stain on your jacket," said Rachel.


    The water stain appeared to be much darker than Hiram''s dark-colored jacket.


    Hiram took off his jacket immediately. He squinted as he red at Rachel, who was helping him tidy up


    clothes.


    Suddenly, Hiram ced his hand on the back of Rachel''s head and pulled her into his arms. He then


    bent down and kissed her lips.


    Rachel was surprised and didn''t expect that Hiram would kiss her.


    Hiram just remained still, without moving his lips.


    Rachel found that his kiss was very long and sweet.


    Ben, who was driving in the front seat of the car, got goosebumps.


    He sighed with relief. After all, he would rather get goosebumps by their public disy of affection


    between Hiram and Rachel, than having to experience their quarrels.


    "Just this once, okay?" Hiram let go of Rachel, and took a moment to catch his breath. Rachel realized


    that it was a question, but the way Hiram had said it, rified that Rachel couldn''t object him


    whatsoever.

    Rachel blushed. She looked at Hiram, with shyness in her eyes. "Okay.


    Do… you still want to divorce me?"


    Hiram raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Are you still trying to act innocent with me, Rachel?"


    "What? Acting innocent with you? What are you talking about? I don''t understand." Rachel blinked,


    pretending to be confused.


    Hiram found that when Rachel acted like this, he found it to be cute. He pinched her face as he shook


    his head.


    "President Rong, we''re here!"


    said Ben. They arrived at their destination and Ben parked the car.


    Rachel got out of the car. She found this ce to be quite strange. She thought that it would be an


    office of some sort. ''Didn''t Hiram say it was an important client?'' Rachel felt confused.


    Rachel had seen several English letters. However, she couldn''t understand them. She just knew that


    thest two ones meant that there was a showroom involved.


    Rachel was going to walk into the room without giving it too much thought, but then Ben stopped her


    and said,"Mrs. Rong, you''d better stay out here. I''ve been here once before and it''s pretty scary in


    there. I remember that, when I first visited here, I was utterly terrified!"


    Everything that Ben had said, just made Rachel even more curious. "Nothing to be scared of! Your


    boss has already walked inside. So, how bad can it be?"


    "Well… You see, Mr. Rong isn''t like normal people. How can we possibly fathom… Wait! Mrs. Rong!"


    Ben shouted at Rachel as she continued to walk into the showroom hastily.


    Ben got goose bumps once again. However, this time, it was because of fear. He tidied up his clothes


    and followed Rachel inside.


    Rachel walked into the hall and looked around. ''There''s nothing special here. Why would Ben be so


    scared?'' she thought.


    ''Wait, why are there so many sliding doors in here?''


    Rachel headed towards the second floor. She noticed that all of the sliding doors in the showroom


    looked the same. She then decided to open them to see what was behind it.


    Curiously, Rachel opened one of them. The very next second,"Ahhh!"


    Rachel''s fearful and loud scream echoed throughout the entire hall.


    Hiram was on the second floor. When he heard Rachel scream, he immediately ran downstairs. He


    then saw Rachel who was standing in one of the sliding doors, looking at thedy in the ss vat.


    Hiram pulled Rachel into his arms. "If you''re timid, Rachel, then stop being curious and opening these


    doors."


    Scared, Rachel hugged Hiram tightly. She was shaking, yet still curious. She kept peeking at thedy in


    the ss vat. She was bleeding.


    "It is called simtion art. Thedy you just saw isn''t a real person. She is made from silica gel. She


    was made to look scary." Patting Rachel on her shoulders, Hiram exined to her patiently and gently,


    to calm her down.


    Then Hiram heard Rachel lowering her voice, as she asked him carefully. "Can I open more of the


    doors?"


    "…"


    Hiram didn''t know what to say to her. He just opened another door for Rachel and heard yet another


    loud scream. Hiram was deafened by Rachel''s scream.


    A monster with just one hand and one leg was floating in a water tank. It swayed every few seconds.


    Rachel screamed again as she kicked open another door. Then Hiram heard another scream.


    Soon, the fourth and the fifth doors were opened and the sound of Rachel''s scream gradually


    decreased. Atst, she had stopped screaming, as she was now used to it. Finally, she opened the


    remaining doors to see the artworks behind them.


    "President Rong, your wife is quite bold to open these doors. Even men will have continuous


    nightmares for a couple of days after they''veid eyes on these art sculptures. Let alone women! Yet,


    your wife opened all of the doors here. She''s really brave!"


    A foreign man walked downstairs. He pped his hands as heplimented Rachel.


    "Mr. Puth, let me introduce you to each other." Hiram nodded his head at Mr. Puth who just came


    downstairs.


    Rachel also turned around and looked at the foreign man. He looked a little older than her. She


    reckoned that he was perhaps one or two years older than her. He looked extremely handsome and


    much like a ssic British gentleman. When he smiled, Rachel felt like she was bathing in the spring


    breeze.


    Rachel admitted that she was attracted to the foreign man when her eyes first met him, regardless of


    his strange hobby.


    Hiram pulled Rachel back and stepped forward. He said to the man,"Mr. Puth, I''m sorry for being so


    Mr. Puth walked towards Hiram and Rachel and smiled at them. He pointed his fingers at the stairs.


    "Apology epted, President Rong. Mrs. Rong, please…"


    What Rachel saw next was Mr. Puth''s staff working in the showroom. They came downstairs and


    closed the doors one by one. Rachel followed Hiram to the second floor, she was still scared, but


    curious.


    Puth was a very strange man. Many people wouldn''t dare to look at or buy those art works. Yet, he


    lived with them!


    Was he some kind of psychopath?


    Soon, Rachel abandoned her suspicious thoughts. Some people were born to love horror films, which


    certainly couldn''t mean that something was wrong with them. Besides, Puth was Hiram''s client.


    Hiram and Puth were talking about their business together, and because Mr. Puth wasn''t as good at


    Chinese, Hiram and him were talking in English, which made Rachel feel bored and dull, since she


    didn''t understand their business, nor English.


    "Mr. Puth, would you mind me walking around a bit?" Rachel felt bored, and she didn''t want to sit on


    the chair any longer than she had to. She preferred walking around, so she decided to ask Mr. Puth.


    "Sure." Puth looked at Rachel with his blue eyes, smiling.


    Hiram asked Ben to follow Rachel.


    Rachel stood up and left the office. She finally had the chance to get some fresh air.


    "Mrs. Rong, could you please slow down a little bit? What are you looking for?" Ben was walking


    behind Rachel steadily. He felt as though Rachel was looking for something.


    "Ben, aren''t you even a little curious? I mean, Mr. Puth is obsessed with that kind of art. Aren''t you


    curious to learn more about what other hobbies he might have?" Rachel walked through the house. It


    was quite spacious on the second floor, and there were many doors that led to many rooms.


    "I don''t think we should do that, Mrs. Rong. We''re here to talk business. Why do you care about his


    hobbies? Besides, it isn''t right for us to go into these rooms without Mr. Puth''s permission." Ben found


    this ce scary. He stopped Rachel from opening one of the doors and said,"I think we should go back


    now, Mrs. Rong."


    "What are you afraid of? I''m here with you, remember!" said Rachel. She thought that Mr. Puth must


    have something even more incredible on the second floor.


    Then Rachel let go of Ben''s hand and proceeded to twist the doorknob. To her surprise, the door


    opened.
