Bad Timing

The sales person nodded and went inside to get all the clothes in her size. She led Rachel into the dressing room. The door to the dressing room opened and Rachel came in, she stood before Chad dressed in an off shoulder peach pink short gown. The gown drew attention to her bright, fair skin. Her long and slender legs were exposed. Chad looked at her and said, "You look very beautiful in it"

Rachel lowered her head and blushed. She felt embarrassed at the praise. Rachel entered the dressing room and came out after. This time, she was dressed in a black blouse and a brown short skirt with a long boot. She looked so cute in it.

When Chad was satisfied with all the dresses, he gestured for someone to foot the bill and said, "Wrap up everything"

Rachel was shocked. He bought all the dresses in her size and paid for all of them at once. She looked at him with glittering eyes. This man is so rich.

In the car.

Rachel was staring at Chad as he was reading the newspaper. Chad noticed a pair of eyes were staring at him so hard, then he turned his head.

Rachel asked, "Why are you spoiling me so much?"

Chad gave her a confused look. "Spoiling you? I have not even started spoiling you" he said and put his hand at the back of her head.

"I have more than enough dresses at home and you are buying me more"

"Throw all those clothes away. They don't fix your wardrobe.You are special, so you shouldn't be wearing all those clothes"

Rachel looked at him with teary eyes. This Chad is so sweet. She placed her head on his chest and wrapped her hand around his waist.

"Thank you" she said

Soon, they got to the mansion. Chad told the maids to dispose Rachel's old clothes and help her arrange the new clothes she just bought. When she opened her wardrobe to check all her dresse, she was surprised. She didn't expect the clothes to be this much. She looked at all of them and thought, she won't be able to wear all of them. She picked up a short royal blue gown firm her closet and put it on, then she stood in front of her mirror, made her hair into a half loof and left the room..

As she walked down the stairs, the maids were shocked. The couldn't help, but compliment her.

"Ma'am Rachel, you are just so beautiful in the gown. You look exactly like a princess"

Rachel lowered her head to look at herself. She raised her head and smiled. "Thank you"

"Ma'am Rachel, if I was actually a man and I am rich and powerful, I would have snatched you from young master. "I can't even take my eyes off you. I am sure if young mater sees you, he will..." She immediately realised what she was saying and stopped talking. "Ma'am, you are actually very beautiful" she smiled sheepishly.

Rachel looked at her and laughed, "You guys are so sweet"

Meanwhile...

Mina and her friends were looking at her talking with the maids. Mina looked at her dress and got angry. She knew Chad was the one who bought it for her. She felt Rachel is starting to take everything that belongs to her.

After Rachel finished talking with the maids, she walked to the swimming pool edge and knelt down. She could see the shimmer of starlight coming off the surface of the pool. She moved her hand back and forth through the water. The water felt so wonderful. The light breeze wisps gently above the surface of the water. She looked at the water and saw her reflection in the pool, her hair falling by her cheeks. She looked very beautiful in her gown.

Just then, Rachel heard someone clapping from behind. She stood up and turned to see the person, but unfortunately, it was Mina.

Mina walked up to her, smiled and looked at her from up to down. "Wow! I can't believe that you forced Chad to buy you all those clothes. You even threw your clothes away" Mina said scornfully. "I knew it from beginning. You only stayed here because of what you wanted to get from Chad. You poor people are nothing, but cheap people"

Rachel frowned. "I don't need to explain things to you because you don't deserve any explanation. I don't have the time to talk to you" She turned and bent down beside the pool and continued to move her hand in the water.

Rachel truly had so many opportunities to get whatever she wants from Chad, but she didn't. Despite the fact the Chad is very rich, she didn't take advantage of that.

Suddenly, Mina thought of pushing Rachel into the pool. She knew Rachel won't be able to swim in the pool. Her lips twisted into a wry smile. She reached out her hand to push Rachel.

But... her phone started ringing.

Bad timing.

Mina frowned and felt like throwing her phone into the pool. She stared at the screen of her phone and her eyebrows furrowed. She accepted the call, turned and walked away.

Rachel stood up and stretched before walking into the mansion. As she entered the living room, she could smell the sweet aroma coming from the kitchen. She closed her eyes and sniffed in the aroma.

"Arroz caldo"

Rachel walked into the kitchen and smiled happily. "Wow! I can sense that this is going to be delicious. I can't wait to get it into my mouth" she said and licked her lips subconsciously.

The cook was stunned when she heard Rachel's voice. She turned back only to see Rachel smiling. "Ma'am Rachel, what are you doing here? You are not allowed in the kitchen"

Rachel frowned unhappily. She is not always allowed to do something she feels like doing, or she is not allowed to stay where she wants to stay. Been a rich person's girlfriend can be so hard sometimes.

Rachel moved closer and said, " I just want to help you guys"

The maid looked at her. "Ma'am Rachel, young master will be mad"

Rachel patted her back gently. "Don't worry, he won't be mad at you"

Before the cook could say another word, Rachel had already put on an apron and has started stirring. The cook stood there speechlessly. Their young madam can be so stubborn sometimes. She had no other choice, but to continue cooking with Rachel.

After a while, Chad came downstairs from the study and heard Rachel laughing. He smiled and followed her voice and to his surprise, she was in the kitchen, cooking, laughing and talking with the maids.

He walked into the kitchen and grabbed her arm. "What do you think you are doing here?"

"Cooking" Rachel replied, not then did she realise that Chad was the one talking to her. She turned to face Chad and her smile faded.

Chad looked at her from up to down and his eyebrows knitted. He turned his head to look at the cook standing beside Rachel and asked in a cold voice, "Why did you allow her to enter the kitchen. You know the rules and you are violenting them"

Rachel dropped the spoon in her hand and her face expression changed. "Why? I just felt like helping in the kitchen. Why am I not allowed to enter here?"

Rachel never knew that there were do and don't in the Torres mansion. She was already used to her lifestyle. Cooking, doing the house chores, working in the farm, but here, it is not allowed.
