A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 123

“Release me, mister!” Sherry yanked back her arm and said, “I said that it’s alright. I’m going to be late, I’m sorry!” She continued to flag for the second taxi.

“Where are you going? I’ll send you. Consider it as compensation for dirtying your clothes. I don’t like to be indebted to anyone!” The man insisted.

“Ah! No need! It’s alright.” Sherry said and looked at the man, “Mister, I’m really going to be late soon. I’m sorry!”

“Then let’s go!” The man insisted and held onto Sherry’s hand again. He led her to the Bugatti and said, “I’ll send you!”

He shoved Sherry into the front passenger seat as she looked helplessly at him and pondered how could this man be so demanding? He was as demanding as William!

She felt amused and said, “Mister, you really don’t have to send me. I’ll take a cab!”

“Quiet!” The man said calmly, started the car, and asked, “Put on your seatbelt. Where do you want to go?”

She was helpless and could only tell him the company’s address. This man was frighteningly demanding! At this moment, she received a message.

Sherry held onto her cellphone tightly as if she was trying to get some comfort from the phone. She looked at the message and it read: Sherry, why didn’t you reply to my message? I’m worried about you! Are you at the office yet? Reply to me once you are at the office! Kisses, my precious…

She was stunned and blushed for a moment. She quickly replied.

Sherry: I’ll arrive soon!

She then looked at him who also turned to look at her. His pair of stern and deep eyes glanced chillingly at Sherry.

She unconsciously shivered and said, “Thanks, Mister.”

The driver of the Bugatti was high and lofty. What kind of apology was this? Was this goodwill for him to send her to the office? She felt as though she was sitting in an enemy’s car.

“Your name!” The man suddenly asked.

“Oh?” Sherry was startled and answered cautiously, “We’re just a chance encounter. There’s no need for you to know my name. Thanks, Mister for sending me to work!”

The man raised his eyebrows and scoffed which made Sherry feel very uncomfortable.

The two of them remained silent till they reached the office. Once the car stopped, Sherry removed the seat belt and said politely, “Thanks, Mister!”

Sherry was stunned that the man drove into the company basement garage and parked the car.

“Sherry, you know Reggie Kelly?” Keegan Fox just arrived and saw that Sherry’s jacket was soiled and looked at Reggie who was walking over. He was surprised as he just saw Sherry exiting from Reggie’s car.

“Reggie?” Sherry was stunned and pointed to that man, “Do you know that man?”

“Yeah, an old friend. We’ve done some business in the past!” Keegan then said to that man as he walked over, “Reggie, when did you come back to the country?”

Reggie’s gaze fell onto the stunned Sherry and nonchalantly said, “I just came back!”

“You really know each other?” Sherry pointed to Reggie and then realized that it was rude to point at someone and quickly lowered her hand.

“I’ll do the introduction.” Keegan introduced both of them.

Sherry didn’t expect this arrogant Eurasian man would come to their office.

“Coffee’s ready!” Sherry served the coffee to Keegan’s office and Reggie was sitting on the sofa. Reggie’s expression changed when Sherry walked in. Sherry placed the cups of coffee on the table and was about to walk out of the office. Reggie raised the cup, took a sip, and frowned. His eyes lit up and unconsciously praised, “Ms. Murray, your coffee is fantastic!”

“Oh! Thanks!” Sherry grinned, “Keegan, I’ll go back to my work. Reggie, have a nice day.”

After she left, Reggie looked at the door and pondered.

“Reggie, how is your wife? Did she come back with you?”

Reggie’s scoffed when he heard the word wife and softly acknowledged. He held onto the cup of coffee and continued to ponder.

“You’re alright with her remaining in France on her own?” Keegan was puzzled.

…

“Sherry, your son is very cute! Next time bring him to my place!” Cohen said as she brought a cup of coffee for him.

“Okay, Mr. Sutton, Dan is still young and say the silliest things, please don’t take offense.” Sherry smiled.

“No, don’t say that. He is very cute. So it’s agreed. This weekend I’ll have Keegan to pick him up and go over to my place for a couple of days.”

“But…”

“You can’t bear to leave him to me?” Cohen raised his eyebrows.

Sherry shook her head, “Mr. Sutton, you hardly get to rest and should relax during the weekends. Dan is still a kid and can be quite a handful.”

“Sherry, don’t be so selfish. I have no child and you should let me experience the joy of having a kid in the house!”

No child? Then Cohen was indeed pitiful.

Sherry nodded and said, “Okay, if Mr. Sutton isn’t afraid of him bothering you, then I’ll send him over on the weekend.”
