My Crazy Rich - Ard

Chapter 15: The Champ

They immediately took Richard to the hospital for medical treatment and the police also requested the testimony of Rachel as well as Richard for the incident that night.

After Richard's wound was treated. Both are out of the hospital area, with Rachel faithfully holding Rich while walking.

“Lagian sok hotshot. Why fight them alone? You think your life is nine?” rachel grumbled as she opened the front door of the car.

“Be quiet. It's just a small wound. Aren't you tired of nagging since? My ears feel like they're about to break hearing you grumble all the time. And that, why are you crying? you thought I would die just because of this small wound.” Rich replied pointing at Rachel's face that had unconsciously been wet since earlier.

“Who is also crying.” Ketus Rachel rubbed the warm circles that wet her cheeks without her asking since.

A brief debate between the two continued during the return trip. Until they arrived at an apartment building, then Rich frowned. “Whose place is this?”

“My place. I've rented an apartment starting today. Since you're hurting, I'll let you stay with me. After all, your place is not worth calling home. You may get dengue fever later if you stay there too long. Why don't you use the money of the aunts who hired you before to give you a more decent home. Stupid jerk. Let's go!” Rachel tries to get Rich back, but the man flinch from his position.

“You're worried about me?” ask Rich without further ado.

“Who is worried about you too. Flush.” Rachel momentarily fell silent as she spread her gaze in the other direction in search of an excuse. “I just feel responsible for you. Because of me you get hurt like this. Only limited to pity as a fellow human being, no more.”

“Don't fall in love with me! You won't be able to bear it.” Without waiting for Rachel, Rich walked towards the apartment, while the woman was still dumbfounded in the back. “What are you doing? Come quickly where is your residence? I'm already very tired tonight,” cried Rich in the distance.

Rachel who was initially dissolved in daydreams, instantly realized. “What are you thinking, Rachel. This was all just a charade," his inner self-conscious as he walked forward with both hands patting his cheek.

“Nothing. I just feel like the weather today is really hot. It makes me feel so hot" said Rachel shaking her hands in front of her face.

The two of them stepped into Rachel's rented apartment. Richard was quite satisfied with this, at least he did not need to give his uncle a reason to leave the slum, and certainly, he did, he didn't have to pay rent for all the fancy amenities he could get from Rachel later.

“There is your room. That's my room. If there's still something you need. You can call me. I want to clean myself first,” said Rachel upon their arrival at the apartment.

Richard just nodded, he then opened the door of the room that was meant by Rachel and turned on the light switch. His gaze circulated in all directions, quite neat and comfortable. Fits his taste all along.

Richard casually cleaned himself up, at least just to wipe off the sweat after being tired of working all day. It seemed that his calm life would change from now on. I don't know what will happen in front of him, but he won't let the plan crumble this time.

A cold gaze as he looked at his own face in the mirror, showing a smoldering streak of anger as well as grudge. Just from the glint of the eye, it had seen a different facial look to what Richard had always shown.

Slowly he stepped out, a woman was already waiting for him while carrying a change of clothes. However, Rich did not seem surprised at all by his presence.

“Why did you let yourself get hurt?” ask the woman.

“You've caught them?” Not the answer Richard gave, but the question again. It was as if the attention the woman gave her, was nothing to her.
