Chapter 177 Under Monitoring
As soon as Hiram came in, he noticed that Rachel was standing in front of the table with an uneasy
expression on her face. Nevertheless, he smiled at them and greeted Fannie. "Hi, Mom!"
"Welcome, Hiram! Come on in!" Fannie said, beckoning him in.
"Mom! I'm going inside my room." With that, Rachel turned around and walked towards her room
without even a glance at Hiram.
But just after she entered, the door opened again.
She knew it must be Hiram. She was about to turn around when she fell into his warm embrace. He
buried his head into her neck and sighed slightly. "Honey! If you don't want me to stay here, I'll leave NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
after talking to mom."
He looked weary, but still handsome. Rachel felt his eyelashes lightly brushing over her skin. She
couldn't bear to drive him away.
"Dinner's ready, so you can leave after eating, " she said.
"Okay!" Hiram answered immediately and kissed her on the lips. Then, he held her hand and said,
"Let's go!"
Rachel ate quietly. Fannie kept up most of the conversation while Hiram answered her occasionally.
After dinner, Hiram politely refused Fannie when she asked him to stay the night. He took one last look
at Rachel before leaving.
Hiram bringing Rachel home and staying for dinner became a routine for the next three days.
This morning, Rachel had hardly come into the office and sat down at her desk when she received a
message from her colleague.
"Come to the meeting room as soon as possible."
When Rachel reached the meeting room downstairs, she heard Daniel shouting angrily.
"Your proposals suck! Don't you feel ashamed to put such childish proposals on my table?
And you! Why did we hire you? Just for this? Can you stop copying mechanically and start using your
head?"
Daniel slammed their proposals on the table, then glared at the rest of the proposals.
Rachel quietly pushed open the door and walked in. All the staff in the two teams were new recruits. In
fact, many of them had joined only several days before. Daniel had gotten mad several times before,
but he had never lost his temper like this.
Streams Company had strict rules when it came to recruiting employees. Only the cream of the crop
passed the interviews. On top of that, Daniel had high expectations for his teams.
Therefore, it was inevitable for them to be criticized.
"You can't even work out a good proposal for the construction of A zone! If I were you, I'd quit!" Daniel
said, throwing away all the proposals he took a look at. It seemed none of them satisfied him.
"I spent a lot of time and energy looking for materials for you, and I even explained our design principle.
It seems none of you were listening! You didn't even get ten percent of what I taught you!"
With that, Daniel threw several other well-bound proposals across the room, and they landed in front of
Rachel. She straightened up subconsciously and raised her head to look at him.
"Sorry, Mr. Zhuo! We'll revise our proposals right away!" She spoke for the whole team as well as
herself.
"Revise? These proposals have been revised several times! I don't have that much time to spend on
it!" Daniel turned to glare at her coldly before realizing that Rachel was the one who had spoken.
So instead, he glanced at the others standing beside her, and threw all the files in front of them.
"Get out! I'll give you one last chance. If you still can't work out satisfactory proposals, you have to
attend the training again! You'll get fired if you can't pass the examination!"
Hearing this, all the other staff began panicking. They picked up the files and rushed out of the meeting
room in a hurry.
Rachel bent over to pick up the remaining files on the floor and at Daniel's feet.
"Come on! Don't be angry! They've been working here for less than a month. It's not easy to achieve
what you're asking. Besides, they're all working hard. You should go easy on them, " Rachel said.
Daniel sighed. He pulled up a chair and sat down, then loosed his necktie. "I shouldn't have recruited
these new staff. They all lack experience and they're not mature."
Rachel, who had just picked up her own proposal from the table, became shocked at his statement.
"Come on! Please give us another chance. I promise we'll try our best!"
Daniel looked at her and said, "I'm not talking about you. You don't have experience in this industry, but
you're gifted. Even though you're unfamiliar with the work, you always give valuable advice."
Hearing this, Rachel relaxed a little and said, "I learned it from you! I'm sure that under your leadership,
we'll all gradually grow from beginners to the backbone of the company."
Daniel laughed. He shook his head and said, "Okay! You can go back to work now."
Rachel nodded and patted him on the shoulder, then left the office holding her proposal in her hand.
After she left, Daniel rubbed his forehead.
He was starting to regret telling Hiram that he could provide a proposal for the Cliff Mountain project.
It wasn't because of the work itself. He was confident in his work, and he knew he was capable of
solving any issues that came up.
The problem was that he had lost his heart to someone.
Rachel was heading back to her office upstairs.
When she passed by the president's office, she stopped and listened for a while, but heard nothing.
Then, she walked into her own office next door.
She didn't know that
Hiram had seen her standing outside his door on the screen just now.
He could shift between different scenes on the screen freely.
He watched her when she was puckering her lips, frowning, contemplating, biting the pen or even
folding paper frogs and cranes when she couldn't think of a good idea.
Hiram blew on his tea lightly and took a sip. He looked at the screen and found that Rachel seemed
frustrated. She was laying her head down on the desk.
Then he called Chad. "Hi, Chad! Remember what I asked you to do last time? How's it going?"
"It's done, " Chad answered.
"Okay."
After hanging up, Hiram looked at Rachel on his screen again. Every time he saw her, he felt the stress
from his work disappearing.
Sitting in the office, Rachel didn't know that her every move was being monitored. She stared at her
computer screen with her chin resting on one hand. Daniel had said that she wasn't familiar with some
of the work just now.
She made herself a cup of coffee before opening up the proposal on her computer and checking it
again.
When she finally completed revising her proposal, it was already getting dark. She looked at her watch
and realized that it was way past the time she usually got off work.
She packed up her things and went to the president's office, but Hiram wasn't there.
Something was wrong. He always brought her home, so why had he left tonight without saying a word
to her?
Just then, her cell phone rang.
