Chapter 150 Lydia Came Back (1/2)

”Luke, give her the cue stick. If Rachel messes it up, it's on me, ” said Hiram. His eyes hovered on Rachel right from the beginning. From the way she was holding the cue, he could see she had played billiards before.

Before she took a shot, Rachel walked around the table twice. Fixing her eyes on her target, she bent over and aimed her cue at it.

She pushed the cue briskly and the yellow ball rolled directly into the pocket.

”Good job! I can't believe my eyes. Come on. Let's teach Hiram a lesson, ” Luke said cheerfully. Since Rachel had made this shot, it looked three of the balls were waiting in line.

As everybody expected, Rachel shot another two balls into the pocket, but the third one was a little bit off its way and didn't make it.

Some of the male colleagues at her former company had been fond of playing billiards, so Rachel had picked up the game when hanging out with them. But it had been a long time since then, and she hadn't touched a cue after leaving that job, till now.

Hiram didn't continue his game with Luke. Instead, he threw his cue to Luke and said, ”You can play for me.”

After that, he held Rachel in his arms and together they walked outside to the corridor.

”What's on your mind?” asked Rachel as they walked towards the window at the end of the corridor. Leaning against him, she could almost hear his heartbeat.

”Nothing, just came out for some fresh air. Are you tired?” said Hiram tenderly. But he stopped walking the next moment.

Rachel was about to say something when she saw Hiram hush her silently and point to the staircase shrouded in darkness near them.

Rachel stopped walking and held her breath curiously. Just then, she heard a woman's moaning and a man's heavy breaths coming from the dark.

Apparently, there were people making love in the dark staircase. But weren't they afraid that they would be seen by people? Why didn't they wait and go to a hotel? They were being so rash!

Hearing the noises, Rachel felt embarrassed and turned to look at Hiram.

Hiram stared back at her with his dark eyes. They turned around quietly and walked back. Hiram lowered his voice and said, ”If I'm not wrong, that was Daniel. Let's leave this place. We don't want to interrupt his moment.”

”Answer my question, Hiram. Do you guys always cover up for each other when it comes to things like this? I mean, even if Daniel gets married someday, you'll hide it from his wife for him, right?”

Rachel asked in a low voice.

Hiram chuckled and pulled her close to make her feel more at ease. ”What answer are you expecting from me? If I say no, I'm lying to you. If I say yes, then you'll ask another question. Will I do the same thing that Daniel does?”

Rachel kept silent.

”You know why I take you almost everywhere I go? It's because when you're with me, you can see what I'm up to. Then you won't wonder what I do when you're not around, right?” Hiram explained to her.
