Such a Rude and Noisy Woman

Chapter 68 Rachel Quit Her Job

When Carl heard Rachel call him, he immediately said goodbye to Hiram and hung up the phone. He

looked like a deer caught in headlights. "Rachel, " he squeaked.

"Are you secretly informing Hiram about my day?" Rachel asked with a smile, observing that Carl

looked kind of nervous after seeing her.

It was just the first day of Hiram's trip. Was he so anxious that he couldn't wait to know about her

whereabouts?

"Of course not. My cousin called to say that he has just landed. And as we talked, he also inquired

about you." Carl answered with a smile, scratching his head.

Rachel turned to walk towards her car. She wondered why Hiram had called Carl instead of her.

If he wanted to know about her, shouldn't he have called her directly?

She looked down at her cell phone and waited for a while, but there was no call from Hiram, which

made her a little upset. Then she turned to Carl and said, "Get in the car. Let's go home."

Rachel found that she was a little bored without Hiram. She tried her best to go about her day as lively

as before, but it seemed impossible.

Days went by, and Rachel was back to work.

Even though she decided to quit her job, she still wanted to stay till the end of the month. She had been

working in that company for 3 years, so she wanted to work there for a few more days before she left

for good.

But soon, being in the office became uncomfortable for her. No matter where she went, she overheard

unpleasant conversations about her...

"Have you heard the news? Rachel is not a simple woman. How can she seduce a man like Hiram

Rong? She doesn't deserve him at all."

"How could she? It's not like she's drop-dead gorgeous. She must have seduced Hiram with her skills

in bed. As soon as a man gets what he wants, he'll promise you everything."

"Are you sure? I heard that their great-grandparents arranged their engagement before they were even

born. That's why Hiram Rong had to marry her without a choice."

"Oh my God. Is that real? Where did you hear that?"

"Right, right. Where did you hear that?"

Rachel was standing in a cubicle in the washing room with her hand on the doorknob, hesitating to

leave. She had been about to open the door when they had begun talking about her.

Although she had expected people to react this way to her marriage with Hiram, it was still very hard for

her to accept. Women like these didn't just work hard, they also had great talent when it came to

gossiping.

As for such rumors, they hadn't stopped ever since she came back to work.

The next day was the first day of a new month. She decided that she would go directly to the Director's

office as soon as she went out of the bathroom.

"If it's true, no wonder she could marry Hiram Rong. The marriage was decided by the elders, so he

had to accept it whether he was willing to or not."

"It's all fate. Why weren't we born in the Ruan family? We won't get such an opportunity even if a

hundred years pass."

One of the cubicle doors opened with a creak. Rachel walked out as if nobody else was there. She

washed her hands, and then left without any embarrassment on her face, Leaving the women who had

just been gossiping about her frightened.

Rachel had wanted to say something to shut them up so badly. However, there was no point in doing

that.

Even if she had said something to them now, what about in the future? How could she argue with

hundreds of thousands of people who would gossip about her?

Without any hesitation, Rachel walked directly to the Director's office.

After what happened to Manager Wang of the sales department, the Director of the company had

appointed himself to take charge of his duties.

"Rachel, come in, " the Director said. As soon as he saw Rachel standing outside, he stood up from his

chair and moved it towards her so she could sit down.

"Director, I'm here to ask if you've seen my letter of resignation. May I leave tomorrow?" Rachel asked.

Although it was ruled by the company that one should not leave within one month after the handing

over of resignation letter, it was really a torture for her to stay here any longer. So she asked the

permission to leave earlier.

Under circumstances like these, she wasn't able to put her whole heart and soul into her work.

The Director internally heaved a sigh of relief. On the outside, he asked, "Why? What happened? Is

there anybody in the company gossiping about you? Tell me. I'll teach them a good lesson."

"Oh no, it's not because of them. Everyone is nice to me. But I have been working here for three years

without taking any time off for myself. And so much has happened recently, I think it's better for me to

take a good rest at home, " Rachel answered.

"Well, if that's your decision, I won't force you to stay, " the director answered. He felt a little more

relaxed now that he had heard her reason.

The woman in front of him was now the honored Mrs. Rong, not just Rachel. Every single day, he had

been afraid that if someone in the company did so much as to annoy her, it would cause him great

trouble. Now that she had decided to leave on her own, it was like his prayers had been answered.

If he had to make sure that no one offended her as long as she was working there, it was better if she

wasn't working there at all.

"All right. And there's another thing, Director. I think Celine is very good at her work and also very

familiar with the business and clients of our team, so I want to make a suggestion. After I leave, you

can let her take my position temporarily. And in the future, if you don't think she's suitable for it, then

you can change her position to something else, "

Rachel said.

"Of course. I've full faith in you. The one you choose can't be wrong. I'll let her take your position

temporarily, " the director replied. He seemed to be very obedient to all her suggestions. But in his

mind, as long as Rachel was leaving, everything could be discussed.

Rachel felt very relaxed when she left the Director's office. In the current situation, this was the best

choice for everyone.

Even the director had eagerly wanted her to leave, though Rachel knew that he didn't dare to show it.

Anyway, she really didn't want to hear any more gossip about her and Hiram.

After work, she went out to dinner with Celine.

"Here, Rachel. Bottoms up! To our three years of friendship!"

Celine had ordered two bottles of beer. She filled a full cup for Rachel and said, "Since your Hiram isn't

home, let's drink to get drunk."

Smiling, Rachel clinked her glass against Celine's. "Once you get a little drunk, you'll start talking non-

stop. It seems that I won't be able to get a good sleep tonight, " she joked.

"Don't say that. Now that you're leaving, I'm afraid I won't be able to find someone like you to have an

intimate conversation with." Celine felt a little sad as she said that, so she downed a mouthful of her

beer.

"How would that happen? Don't worry. I'm not leaving H city. My Mom is here. I won't be too far away

from her, " Rachel said, filling up the cup for her again.

Celine looked at her. There were words deep in her heart that she didn't know whether to say out loud

or not. But finally, she decided to tell her.

"Rachel, there's one thing which I don't know if I should say. If I say it, I'm afraid it will put you in a

dilemma. But on the other hand, I can't help but..." she trailed off.

Celine seemed to be very vexed. Rachel patted her gently on the hand and said, "There's nothing that

can't be said between us. Spit it out."

Celine thought for a while to clear her mind. Then she said, "You know about our team. If it hadn't been

for you, we wouldn't have been able to be in this good situation. Remember when we first joined in the

company, we were treated badly by others. If it hadn't been for you leading us, we wouldn't have been

able to come so far.

But now, you've decided to leave so abruptly. Our team lost its bone in an instant! Everyone feels like This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

they've lost the spirit to keep working.

Before, when you were there with us, there was nothing that we had to be afraid of. But with you

leaving, we feel like our energy has suddenly disappeared."

Rachel didn't interrupt her but waited patiently till she finished her words.

"Rachel, may I ask you one question, on behalf of our team members?" Celine asked.
