Such a Rude and Noisy Woman
Chapter 193 The Female Protagonist Of Hiram’s MV

"Don't worry. I'll be with you. But listen, this is just the beginning. I believe there will be all kinds of occasions like that waiting for us in future." Hiram was tapping his keyboard while he spoke, and his long fingers looked like they were dancing to Rachel.

"All you need to do is relax and enjoy. Just be yourself whatever the occasion is. Remember, we're number one in the industry, and the people you meet are all normal, just a bit well-off or with a reputation. They're way behind us, and you don't have to look up to see them, it will be vice versa."

Hiram looked at Rachel and found her with her eyes closed, but apparently she had been listening to him, because she nodded.

When their car arrived at the base, it was a few minutes past eleven, which wasn't late for people working there.

Rachel felt fresh, since she'd slept the whole way there.

She got off the car first and watched everything curiously.

A little ahead, they were shooting a scene with rain. The actors were gazing into each other's eyes in the middle of a street, and the next second, they held each other and kissed deeply in the rain. Visitors weren't allowed to come here, and there was nobody on set except the crew.

Hiram was an exception, of course.

"Mr. Rong! What makes you come all the way here? A call will do in case you need something here!" said the manager of the base, panting for breath.

He was in his forties. He had been drinking tea in his office when someone told him that the boss was coming, and he had jumped on his feet and run out to welcome Hiram, leaving everything behind.

"Continue with your work. I'll take a look around," said Hiram as he watched Rachel scurry away to see the actors up close.

"Okay, please tell me if you need anything. Oh, and there are three crews shooting here now. One show is about the Republican period, another is a costume drama, and the last one is a modern show. Please look around as you like, "he said, briefing Hiram on what was going on at the base.

"Thank you," Hiram said to him, and then strode forward to catch up with Rachel.

Rachel had too many things to look at, but suddenly, she saw Clare, the leading actor in the latest series she was watching, on the set. She couldn't believe that she was seeing him in person.

Wow, he was handsome, whether in person in a modern suit, or on TV in a traditional costume.

"Hey, listen, if you're going to ogle at another man without even blinking your eyes, I'll take you home right away!" Hiram said unpleasantly.

He felt sour seeing his wife fix her eyes on other man. It was just an actor doing his work, what made her so obsessed with him?

"No, I'm just curious. I've never seen an actor on set before. Would you just let me enjoy it without laughing at me? I feel like I'm in a wonderland, just like Alice."

Hearing Hiram's words, Rachel realized he was angry and smiled at him apologetically.

Rachel's words cooled Hiram down. He reached out to hold her shoulders, then pursed his lips and asked, "Tell me the truth. Who do you replace more attractive, Clare or me?" Rachel burst into laughter at his question. "Hm, I've never seen you two standing together. Maybe you can stand beside him later and let me see," she teased.

Hiram snorted and pinched her cheek, then shifted his eyes to Clare, who had just finished his part.

One of his assistants went to him and put a coat on his shoulders. It was late autumn, so the actors must be freezing in the heavy rain.

"Hiram?" Clare walked to Hiram as soon as he saw him. "What makes you visit me on set? I can't believe my eyes! I know you're always busy. Are you really here to see me?" Before Hiram could reply, Rachel dashed to Clare and grabbed his hand. "Hey, Clare! Nice to meet you! I'm a fan of yours, although not a big one. I love your shows!" Assuming she was just a fan of his coming to the set to visit him, he shook her hand for a second and said, "Nice to meet you, too. Do you need me to give you an autograph?" Seeing Rachel start searching all over her body for a pen and paper, he chuckled and walked past her to Hiram, who was a few steps away from them.

Rachel failed to replace any pen or paper, and she was blaming herself for not bringing anything with her

When she suddenly remembered Hiram.

He might have a pen or something on him.

"Hiram, do you have any pen or paper on you that I can borrow?" asked Rachel anxiously. She ran to Hiram and began looking into his pockets.

Hiram stared at Rachel gloomily and pulled her hands out of his pocket, but instead of pushing her away, he grabbed her hands and said coldly, "If you want Clare's autograph, I'll give you as many as you want. Now wait!"

It was only then that Rachel remembered that she was going to have dinner with Clare later, so she would have plenty of time then. What was the hurry now?

"You two?" Clare couldn't help asking.

He noticed that there was something special between Hiram and Rachel, and he felt shocked.

As far as Clare knew, Hiram kept a distance from women, but now, he was allowing a woman to put her hands all over him. Instead of freaking out, all he did was pull a face, which was nothing like him at all. What had happened to Hiram? "This is Rachel, my wife, "Hiram said, introducing her to Clare with his arm around her shoulders so that she wouldn't run to Clare again.

Clare was stunned for a few seconds, but then he put on his trademark smile again. He reached his hand out to Rachel and said, "Let me formally introduce myself to you. I'm Clare Pei. Hiram and I used to go to the same college. We were good friends back in college, we're good friends now, and we'll be good friends in the future!"

Rachel was attracted by the unspoken melancholy in his eyes, and she felt lost for a second when he smiled at her. He reminded her of the young Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic.

Of course, she regained her composure instantly.

With Hiram around day and night, and with Daniel working in the same department, Rachel realized her immunity to good-looking guys had improved greatly. Nowadays, she was the one who always felt ridiculous seeing women gush over them. Rachel reached out to shake Clare's hand, but was held back by Hiram. "That's enough. I saw you guys do this already," he said gruffly.

"Ha-ha, Hiram, I can't believe you're the same Hiram from college," Clare said. He still couldn't believe his eyes. He remembered how Hiram always kept a distance from girls even though they flocked towards him every time he showed up. But now, Clare saw how much Hiram cared about Rachel, and wondered whether Hiram had realized that he had become one of them too, the ordinary people who got attached in relationships.

"I almost forget. Meggie's here too, over there, and she's shooting a costume drama. I've to get to another set right now, but wait for me, we can have dinner together!" said Clare.

Seeing his assistant approaching him, he waved to them and walked away hurriedly.

Rachel noticed a strange expression crossing Hiram's face when he heard the name Meggie. It seemed he was averse to this Meggie character.

"What's wrong, Hiram? Who's Meggie?" asked Rachel curiously. It sounded familiar to her, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it at this moment.

Hiram held Rachel's hand and led her to the small garden right by the set. "Do you remember the music video I acted in? Meggie was playing the protagonist. It was a long time ago, and I believe she's over it now." "What?" shouted Rachel in astonishment, remembering the story Luke had told her. The protagonist was the one who had desperately thrown herself at Hiram.

Her name was Meggie. Was she still active in the entertainment industry now?

Absolutely! As Rachel thought it over, she realized she'd seen nothing but Hiram when watching the music video. She hadn't even realized that the song was sung by Clare at first, and it was one of his best sellers in his early years. Rachel looked around the garden as they walked. A scene nearby caught her attention. Dozens of people in ancient costumes were gathering around a woman in an imperial costume, and the cameramen were busy shooting. 'Wait, why does the woman in the imperial costume look familiar? Is that Meggie?' Rachel wondered.

Rachel glanced at Hiram, and it seemed he'd also noticed the scene. Rachel saw his bright eyes dim as he stopped walking. 0000
