My Crazy Rich - Ard

Chapter 17: Nyicil Dies

Sunlight infiltrated the gap of the curtain that was still not open. A pair of eyes began to blink slowly and feel dizzy in the head. Rachel woke up massaging her sore nape, she looked at the clock on the small table beside her. Shit, he woke up bad.

“What-what-is. I slept or died?” rachel grumbled alone, having realized she woke up too late today. Last night, she was planning to wake up earlier than usual. Is the alarm broken again?

Rachel immediately stepped out of the room, her hands tying her lioness-like hair up. The smell of delicious food immediately spread, greeting the sense of smell, when he opened the door of the room. "So much," his inner.

He went out and looked at the kitchen. A man with an apron on his body and sleeves folded up his elbows, looks so beautiful to welcome Rachel's morning today.

Although only visible behind her, for a moment Rachel was quite fascinated by the scenery. Until the man turned around carrying two dishes containing food in his hand.

“You're up?” rich asked while putting two dishes of fried rice on the dining table.

“Ah, yes. Excuse me. I should have prepared breakfast for you. But, quite the contrary. Though you yourself are injured,” said Rachel a little regret while scratching her nape that does not itch.

Obviously last night he had set the alarm, but it seemed like his sleep was so deep that he did not hear the ringing of the alarm. Even his body felt so sore when he woke up earlier. It's a shame to lose diligently with a man who's been hurt.

“If I wait for you to wake up. I think I'll starve when I go to work. Well, let's eat! At least you have some groceries here. So I don't have to bother spending money on breakfast this morning. After all, you've been kind enough to support me. I am not a shameless man. Take it easy" Rich said as he poured him a glass of milk.

Rich is able to act ordinary, as if he who was nothing last night really looks so different. I don't know what he's really thinking right now. Could Rich have a dual personality?

The eyes of Rich's eagle look enigmatic looking at Rachel who was greedily tasting his cooking.

The taste is quite delicious because Rich is used to cooking with his grandfather. He did not put poison or anything like that there. So, Rachel need not worry too much. Only a fool would want to kill openly.

Not without reason Rachel woke up late today, but indeed because the sleeping pills given by Rich's men were too strong for the woman. Otherwise, of course Rich would have been caught if he had gone out last night.

“Why do you see me like that? Are you now fascinated with this beautiful artist,” asked Rachel flirtatiously while propping up her chin with her hands and blinking a few times.

“No.” Rich bribed a spoonful of food into his mouth. Then looked back at Rachel with a spoon in the air. "There's just a dork in the corner of your eye,” he said again.

Shame, that was how Rachel felt at this moment. It was very desirable for him to hit the man in front of him at this moment. However, it was too pity that Rich was injured.

"Not the right one, but the left one" Rich said when he saw Rachel trying to clear his eyes, while he still fed food into his mouth.

"I'm full. Then I want to take a shower first.” said Rachel in the end chose to move. His appetite suddenly disappeared, considering he had not even brushed his teeth. Maybe the smell of his mouth messed up breakfast this morning. It was better to escape immediately, before all her ugly secrets as a woman were revealed before Richard.

Rachel moved away from her position, while Rich only gave a small nod.

“Wait! You're going to work today?” rachel asked to stop her steps.

“Of course. That's not my company. So I can't apply for holidays at will.”

“Good. I'll drive you today. Wait a minute I'll get ready.” Rachel immediately ran to her room, whereas Richard only gave a small nod.

He who was an ordinary face, now changed a cold expression staring at Rachel's back that disappeared behind the door. I don't know what plan Rich had on that woman. However, one thing is certain, Rich will make Rachel really fall for him first before acting. He will make sure all plans go as they should, without anyone suspecting later.

As a man, he couldn't be too blatant of an approach towards Rachel. Of course you have to use tricks that are not easy and natural. Slowly, but surely. He could have conquered Rachel's heart. However, it is not the romance that Rich wants, but rather the way to use the woman for her own interests in the future. Only then will the real goal go perfectly.

God seems to be playing games with destiny, by chance to meet her Rachel at the right time. Although initially, Rich has no intentions, but everything changes after he discovers the truth of who Rachel really is.

On the other hand, in a large corporate building, a middle-aged man was standing tall, with one of his hands inside a pants pocket. He looked at the several buildings across with an unusual gaze. It was not easy for him to get to the position he is in now.

The salt acid of business life and the darkness of what he did was so clearly illustrated.

Now, the man's mind floated out of nowhere, but his premonition spoke ill this time. Will his quiet and peaceful life now turn into a catastrophe. It didn't take long, someone from outside could be heard knocking on the door.

“Log in!" He turned around, the door opened revealing the figure of the personal assistant with an age that was not inferior to him. Working together for decades makes the two so familiar and close. Like the body and the shadow. So complete in everything.

“How?”

“They failed to kill him, Sir. But they managed to get him injured,” reports the man.

Ben slowly stepped towards his seat of greatness. During this time the person he hired never failed in carrying out the task, but only this time they worked unsatisfactoryly. That means there are only two possibilities. Their performance is declining and requires more injections of funds, or indeed the men they face are not just anyone.

While thinking Ben twirled the chair. The two hands he put together, it seemed like Rich was not an indiscriminate person who was easy to touch.

“How about Rachel?” ask Ben again.

“Big Miss now lives in a rented apartment with the man. Should I ask him to return to the residence?”

Ben shook his head, all this time he was trying to protect Rachel in his own way. It's just that the princess didn't realize it and thought that her affection for Rose was greater. Reality is just the opposite. “The more we oppose him, he will rebel even more.”

The assistant nodded in understanding. That's Rachel. Ben forced Rachel to take business school in order to continue the company, but the woman instead ran away and continued her education as she wished. Not only that, but Rachel also became a public figure that Ben clearly hated. Inevitably, the position that Ben should have given Rachel, while Ben gave it to Rose.

To others, she may seem to be neglecting her own child. However, in reality, the older it gets, the more enemies that arrive intend to take it down. Either coming from the past or the future, so Ben does not want Rachel hurt by those who are after his business or life.

"Let him play around for a while. Later he will also understand, there is no point in marrying a poor man. Did you manage to close the scandal?" ask Ben again.

"Before I tried to close it. The news has disappeared from circulation, sir. It only became a trending topic one day, then it turned into a scandalous news of the planned assassination of the state apparatus."

"What?" Again Ben was surprised by his assistant's words. "Could it be that Mr Bram is moving fast?" murmured Ben lyrics, but still can be heard his assistant.

"Possibly not Mr. Bram, sir. Three days after that night, Mr. Bram stopped all cooperation with us. He even rejected all the offers I had given before—" Not yet had the assistant to continue his sentence, the sharp gaze of Ben looks so terrible. However, he tried to remain calm and still gave a report. "And he's also shutting down access to his business that deals with us, sir."

The sound of a booming table shake filled the room. Who would dare to mess with Ben?

"Keep watching Rachel and find out who her future husband really is. Ordinary people couldn't possibly reject the offer I gave earlier so confidently. Unless you have other intentions with a greater purpose. Something must have happened to Bram so he dared to reject our offer. Just watch out until I find him working with our enemy."

“You mean, Mr.”

For a moment Ben was silent thinking about all the possibilities that happened. “Already. Bram's business later. Rachel is more important. It's good that they love each other and both are married and my daughter is really pregnant. At least we can judge him to be completely sincere or just a mere hoax. Let's keep an eye on Rachel and the guy up close. We'll know what her true purpose is to get close to Rachel. Will he really love my daughter, or will he be just like Roy who is only ambitious to take over this company.”

It's not without reason that Ben agreed to the relationship between Rose and Roy. All of that was none other than because he understood very well how the man behaved. Roy doesn't deserve to be with his precious Rachel. That's why, Ben let him be with his stepson—Rose.

"I understand, Sir."

"Then find a new investor for your project. I don't want everything to be canceled just because of Bram."

"There's actually another investor who fits in with our project, sir. But, it might be hard to get it. Considering that the marketing team trying to work with them alone has been rejected."

"Which company?"

"Dday Holdings."
