Chapter 409 Its Time To Talk, Hiram (1/2)
A sudden chill filled up the car. A pin drop silence took over.
Rachel held Nadia tightly. She knew that Hiram had been holding his temper in check only because of the child in the car.
”Hiram, we should talk patiently. We shouldn't scare the child,” she said in a muffled voice, trying to avoid angering him again.
It wasn't a good idea to provoke him at times like this.
Hiram tightened his lips, speaking nothing. As he continued driving, Rachel saw that his eyes flashed with anger.
Nobody spoke anything anymore till the end of the ride.
Hiram parked the car at the gate of a hotel. Chad and Carl were busy dealing with other matters, so he had to check in personally.
During checking in, Rachel stood behind Hiram. Hiram didn't bother to look back, but she could sense that he was keeping an eye on her in his mind.
She knew that he was worrying that she might leave him again.
”Come on!” Hiram said while walking away after he checked in, looking back at Rachel. His phone started ringing at that moment.
”Hiram, we got the luggage but didn't find Shirley yet. I got the CCTV surveillance video from the staff. It showed an accomplice of that man taking her away,” Carl told Hiram.
”Alright, got it. Come back once the job is done,” Hiram said. As soon as he hung up, Ben called.
Hiram stopped, frowning. He gave the room card to Rachel and asked her to go into the room.
Rachel took the card from his hand and went towards the door with Nadia, without looking at him.
”Mr. Rong, it's good that you're back. Mr. Gavin said you must attend an important meeting at nine tomorrow morning,” Ben told Hiram. It was the annual meeting of Streams Company to discuss important issues with its long-term customers. Gavin took it very seriously.
He had persisted in asking Ben to urge Hiram to attend the meeting.
Hiram looked at his watch. It was already eleven thirty at night. It was impossible to return to H City now.
”Ben, I'm still in L City. There's no airport here. I'm afraid I can't make it tomorrow
