Such a Rude and Noisy Woman

Chapter 168 Come Across an Acquaintance

"Jasmine, stay at home and finish your homework. I'll bring you some french fries when I come back!"

Rachel said to Jasmine, who was doing her homework in her bedroom.

"Okay! Have a safe trip, Rachel!" Jasmine smiled as she opened her windows and waved at Rachel.

Rachel turned the GPS on and rode on the small motorcycle. Riding through the gentle breeze and

beautiful scenery was both relaxing and enjoyable for Rachel.

Soon, Rachel arrived at one of the most popular seafood restaurants in Salt Sea City. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Rachel took off her helmet and hung it on the rearview mirror. She parked the motorcycle before

loosening the rope on the box of seafood. She then carried the box all the way into the restaurant.

"Hello! I'm here to deliver a package. Please, check the package and sign on this paper, thank you…"

The cook who was responsible for purchasing the goods looked at Rachel and asked, "Are you new

here? I haven't seen you before."

"Uh, yeah." Rachel handed him the waybill, unwilling to explain any further. She was just helping her

aunt temporarily anyway.

The cook checked the seafood and looked at the price on the waybill. He said to Rachel, "Come with

me. You can go to the check-out counter to get your money."

Rachel said thank you to him and followed him to the counter. Rachel noticed that the cook winked at

the cashier before he handed the bill to her.

The cashier pulled out some money from the drawer and gave it to Rachel.

Rachel counted the money and put it back on the counter, "I'm sorry. I'm afraid that you've paid me

less. Would you mind checking it again?"

"Check what! That's what you get. If there is something that you don't understand, go back and ask

your boss." The cashier lady looked at her impatiently and gave back the money to Rachel.

Rachel looked at her and the money, then replied, "I'm sorry, but we're in the wholesale trade and the

profits in this business are not large. You've paid me much less than what I should get! Don't you think

that is not decent?"

"You're such a stubborn newcomer. There are many seafood wholesalers in Salt Sea City. We don't

necessarily have to do business with you! I can't believe that you're still asking for such little money.

You're so annoying…"

Unwilling to give more money, the cashier sneered at Rachel and shut the drawer.

Rachel shook her head and laughed at her. She raised her voice and said, "Oh, really? Okay, I get it.

Are you trying to tell me that you get a kickback from every delivery?"

"Hey… Keep it down, and stop saying that!"

The cashier lowered her voice. The money wasn't only for her. She had to share it with the cook.

"You want me to shut up? Okay. Give me my money. This is my first delivery. If I go back with such little

money, I will lose my job. We both work for others, so stop making trouble for me!"

Rachel lowered her voice and sneered at the cashier. She looked around and saw the customers who

were sitting around the table and having lunch.

Suddenly, she stopped looking around and stared at a couple sitting by the window.

Then she turned her head around and waved at the cashier, "Now, will you give me the money or not?"

"You! What's wrong with you? We've been doing this the whole time. You need to change and stop

being so stubborn! Do you understand?" The cashier said quietly as she glared at Rachel with disdain.

"I'll ask you one last time. Will you give me the money or not?" Rachel banged her fist on the counter

and asked.

"You!" The cashier was so furious that she kept glaring at Rachel, but she was too embarrassed to

open the drawer and give Rachel the money.

Rachel was counting numbers in silence. When she counted to two, a tall man walked behind her.

"Rachel? You've changed your identity so fast!"

Patrick looked at Rachel with surprise and said, "You're the wife of the famous CEO of the Streams

Company. How come you are delivering seafood here?"

"Mr. Yan? Why are you here?" Rachel was surprised by his presence.

Nevertheless, Rachel and Patrick seemed to run into each other all the time.

Patrick shook his head and smiled, "Rachel, you aren't really paying attention to me. Salt Sea City is

my turf. I spend most of my time here."

Rachel understood suddenly, and replied, "Sorry, I really don't know much about that. My aunt is a

seafood wholesaler. I came here to relax for a couple of days and help her with her delivery as well."

Rachel explained and looked back at the cashier who was standing next to the counter, absent-minded.

"Hey, can you give me the money now?"

Rachel knocked on the desk as she asked the cashier again. She looked at Patrick and said, "You

know what? People in this city are sophisticated. I gave them the seafood that is worth 800 dollars, but

they paid me only 700 dollars."

Patrick's face turned dark in an instant. He glanced at the cashier coldly and made a phone call.

At last, Rachel got back all her money.

Besides, the cashier lady most likely lost her job.

Rachel was satisfied with the outcome and finally put the money in her pocket. She waved at Patrick,

"Thank you, Mr. Yan. You really did me a big favor!"

"Oh, I should leave now. I don't want to keep you any longer!"

Said Rachel, as she walked to the door of the seafood restaurant. The moment she stepped out the

door, Patrick grabbed her by the wrist.

"Rachel, do you know that Hiram is looking for you?" Patrick dropped the question on her out of

nowhere.

Rachel turned around and smiled like she didn't care at all, "I just want to relax for a while. When I'm

ready, I'll go back. He'll find me then."

"So, he doesn't know you're here?" Patrick looked Rachel up and down and asked.

"So the news on the television was true. You know what? You're right. If I were you, I'd have left him a

long time ago!"

When Rachel didn't respond to Patrick, he continued, "If I were him, I'd have definitely chosen to save

my wife.

After all, when your parents agreed to your marriage with him, it meant that they trusted him with their

daughter's life. How could he leave you in such a dangerous situation for the sake of his own family?"

Rachel smiled as she listened to Patrick, and replied, "Thank you, Mr. Yan."

"Alright, now that you're here. How about I show you around? My treat!" insisted Patrick.

Rachel shook her head and said, "I've been in here for three days. It's time I go back home. I don't

want to bother you…"

"What are you talking about? Why do you keep rejecting me? I can assure you that I don't eat people."

Patrick laughed. He twirled his sexy mustache and said, "Let me give you an advice.

Now that you know what kind of person Hiram is, why not leave him as soon as possible? And, if you

don't have a place to recover, you're always welcome in the Salt Sea City."

"I'll always welcome you too."

Rachel understood what Patrick was implying, and yet, hearing such words felt quite comforting to her.

"Okay, if I ever change my mind, I'll call you."

Said Rachel. When she was just about to leave, Patrick grabbed her by the arm.
