Chapter 190 Time Without Hiram Being Around (1/2)

Rachel clenched her teeth and looked away. ”It has nothing to do with those things. What you did was wrong, and you have to admit it.”

Hiram looked at her eyes that were brimming with irritation, then he sighed and took a step forward to pull her into his arms.

It was said that a man should never try to reason with a woman, and it was right indeed.

”It's my bad. Tell me what I should do to make you forgive me.”

”Write a statement of repentance with at least 10, 000 words. And promise that you won't make such mistakes again. Or at least let me know in advance when you have to do that again.” Locked in Hiram's tight grip, Rachel was out of breath and struggled to get the words out.

This was where she drew the line. She couldn't let Hiram do whatever he wanted even if they were married.

Hiram's eyebrows were furrowed and his eyes darkened.

”Fine, I'll write it.”

When it was time to get off work, Rachel stretched her arms to relax herself. She was expecting a few days without Hiram being around her, since the statement of repentance wasn't so easy to finish.

Hiram's work schedule was tight, so he could only write it after work hours. In that way, she could have a break from Hiram's harassment.

”Hey, Celine, what's your plan for tonight? How about hanging out with me outside? Oh, you're going to work overtime?” Rachel was upset. It was rare for her to get enough free time to even make such a call, but now Celine was too busy to hang out.

The minute Rachel hung up the phone, Penny slid towards Rachel in her chair and said, ”Rachel, what do you think about getting Mr. Zhuo to have dinner with our team in the evening? We haven't had dinner together even though it's been a long time since we all joined this company!”

Rachel glanced at Daniel, who was still working in his office, and said, ”Mr. Zhuo is working overtime these days. He's not likely to have time to come along with us.”

”Rachel, you can't know it until you ask him yourself. We know that you and Mr. Zhuo are friends. If you ask him out for dinner in person, I'm sure he'll say yes, ” suggested Millay, who had been listening to their conversation.

”I'm with Millay. Please give it a try. Mr. Zhuo is always strict with us. We can take this opportunity to get closer to him. Rachel, just do us a favor, okay?” Penny crossed her fingers, a gesture to beg Rachel.
