My Crazy Rich - Ard

Chapter 8: The Men of Charge

"Rachel, what are you doing here?” The baritone voice of a man made Richard turn to Rachel.

A woman then brushed off the hands of the two who joined hands, but clearly the man used to hold Rachel's hand.

Richard was a professional husband. He stood up and approached Rachel while gently taking the woman's right hand. “No other ex-man on your skin, honey. I don't like that,” Rich said as he wiped Rachel's hand using a handkerchief. He did not even hesitate to take the hand sanitizer available at the service desk of the store. "Bacteria can grow and multiply here later if not immediately sterilized" Rich said with a smile on his face.

Although Rachel was initially quite confused, but she quickly understood the current situation. Luckily the paid man he hired turned out to be quite reliable, while Roy seemed to clench his hands to see the romantic action of the ex who turned out so quickly to hook other men after separating from him.

“Kakak, who is he?” rose asked as she wrestled spoiled in Roy's arm.

Rich and Rachel are reluctant to serve two self-destructive humans, so the two are silent as if they never existed before. Until luck still came to them when a servant came to bring the order that Richard had asked for . “Master, Mistress. Here's your order. do you want to try it first?”

“No need. My woman's choice is always the best. I told him not to buy me anything. But, it seems like he just wants to see me perform perfectly in front of his family later.” Richard's reply was complemented by a smile on the face, causing Rachel to tilt her head in astonishment.

“What does he mean he told me to pay for all that,” Inner Rachel was upset. Unfortunately the presence of Roy and Rose made him hold all the anger that is now churning in the chest.

Rachel took a long breath. He spoke with great emphasis. Indeed Richard was very good at playing the situation, making it impossible to refuse because there was a younger brother in front of him at this time.

The forced laughter just came out of Rachel's mouth. Patting Richard's arm hard he said, “Of course I just want to give my best for my future husband. At least that way I can show if my love is sincere and not just targeting wealth.”

Rose's two hands clenched tightly upon hearing Rachel's innuendo. “Sialang. Why is he so quick to get another man,” Inner Rose. He scanned Rich from toe to toe, indeed handsome, but was he richer than Roy?

After completing the payment, Rachel and Richard were about to step away. However, again both must be stopped by Rose. “Kakak, did you forget Daddy already betrothed you to Mr. Bram. Why did you give him false hope?” point Rose towards Rich.

Rachel was about to respond to the sister's provocation, but Richard immediately stopped her. “Thank you because sister-in-law has been worrying about me. But, it seems like what you fear will not happen, because we are quite sure of our love bond.” Without hesitation Rich kissed the back of Rachel's hand that was still in his hand and then stepped away, while Rose certainly did not like to hear the man's answer.

After leaving the clothing store, Rachel breathed a sigh of relief while raising Richard's hand . “You are really proficient at taking advantage of the situation. Not only is asking for such fantastic pay, but you're also good at picking out stuff that drains my pockets,” protested Rachel.

“At least I am professional, and very familiar with the situation. Didn't you see the expression of your ex-lover and sister earlier. Oh, naw. I even had a hard time holding my laughter back," said Richard, proud to carry three paper bags of clothes on his shoulder and to walk away leaving Rachel, without saying goodbye.

“True, at least they can no longer laugh at me," Rachel said. "Hey! Don't forget to come to my house later tonight.” shouted Rachel looking at Richard's back that was getting farther away.

The man just waved his hand casually, leaving the shopping mall area. Meanwhile, Rachel chooses to call her personal assistant to pick her up. It's too exhausting to face Richard today. Hopefully everything goes according to his plan, so that his life will be free from the rules of the rich families.

On the other hand, after leaving Rachel, Richard moved to a food stall by the roadside. A place where many people pass by is like a street food.

With his leisure, Richard ate a cup of instant noodles, in front of a twenty-four-hour supermarket not far from where he lives now. The narrow rental house prepared by his uncle of course.

Shortly afterwards, another man sat beside Richard without permission while unscrewing the can of fizzy drink.

“You guys got what I saw?” richard asked, bribing his noodles back.

One can of the man's fizzy drink passed to Richard's front without much talk. “I bought one free one.”

After saying that, the man then left Richard who was still finishing his meal.

He only gave a small nod, before finally the man stepped away, and disappeared in the swallow of the crowd.
