A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 228

White Group Building in F City.

A slim lady stood below the building and looked up at the eighty-eight levels high skyscraper, hesitating whether she should enter the building. Finally, Leila clenched her teeth and walked inside.

“Miss, who are you looking for?” The receptionist blocked Leila and looked at her.

Leila was around twenty years old and looked particularly young. She wore grey-white jeans and a tight T-shirt. She looked like a girl next door. Her face was pleasant with a pair of beautiful eyes. She looked very innocent.

“I, I’m looking for Vincent!” Leila said as she blinked.

“Miss, have you made an appointment? The receptionist smiled warmly.

Did I have to make an appointment to see Vincent?

“Miss, you can’t see the director if you didn’t make an appointment!”

“Oh.” Leila was disappointed and was about to turn to leave.

Then the doors of the lift opened suddenly. She unconsciously turned and saw two people coming out of the lift. The first person was Vincent.

Leila was stunned.

Vincent wore an Italian hand custom-tailored business suit. One of his hands was tucked in his pocket as he walked swiftly out while talking to the person beside him.

He was tall and slim and dashingly handsome. His smile was mesmerizing but when examined closely it was a lofty smile. His dark-colored eyes sparkled and radiated his irresistible charm.

Without thinking, Leila rushed forward and yelled, “Mr. White!”

Her sudden appearance caused Vincent to stop but he wasn’t stunned. He simply lowered his gaze and looked at her and after recognizing her, he grinned and teased, “Aren’t you Leila Hunter? What can I do for you?”

“You know what!” Leila said softly.

“I know?” Vincent laughed, “Do you think that I can read your mind? How do I know what Miss Hunter is here for?”

Leila blushed and pursed her lips, “I’m here to beg you!”

“Ha! Somehow there were so many people who looked for me today. I don’t have the time now as I need to rush for my flight. Please go back, Miss Hunter.” Vincent grinned cruelly.

Leila shuddered, mustered her courage, and said anxiously, “I won’t delay you. I just beg you to destroy that thing!”

“What thing? I don’t know what you are referring to!” Vincent smiled and said nonchalantly.

“You know about it!” Leila bit her lips, “You can’t destroy my sister’s happiness!”

“Please step aside, I’m going to be late!” Vincent’s expression darkened and said coldly.

“No! You can’t go!” She ran to him and grabbed his sleeve. Her little hands were determined to stop him.

Vincent glared sharply at her fair and soft slender hands. He replied, “Miss Hunter, it’s not appropriate for a girl to pester a man out in the public!”

“I beg you!” Leila couldn’t help but discard her self-respect and used the word ‘beg’.

“You’re begging?” Vincent scoffed softly as he began to smile gently, “Who are you representing?”

“Myself, or, or I beg you on behalf of the Hunter family!” Leila said as she ground her teeth.

“I don’t see any sincerity in your request. Do you intend to stand and beg? What if I want you to kneel?” Vincent grinned calmly as he said with ease.

The soft voice raced into her heart like a demon. When she heard his words, her eyes glared wide open as she retorted, “Mr. White, you can kill me but you can’t ridicule me!”

“Since you’re unwilling to, then forget it!” Vincent pulled off her hands and was about to leave.

“No!” Leila shuddered, clenched her teeth, and fell to her knees in the lobby, “I’ll kneel! I beg you!”

Leila stunned everyone when she knelt. The receptionist, the person beside Vincent, and the security guards. All of them looked stupefied at the scene.

“Tsk tsk…” Vincent shook his head as he looked, “I forgot to tell you that even if you kneel, I will also not destroy that thing. This is what Macey owed me!”

On hearing, Leila’s face turned pale and she bit her lips tightly. Her delicate and white teeth almost punctured her lips. She didn’t move but raised her head and looked at Vincent with her big round eyes. She had put down her pride and she no longer had any dignity as she asked, “What will make you agree?”

People continued to walk by and were shocked when they saw a girl knelt in front of Vincent. Vincent smiled with ridicule and ease as if the girl had nothing to do with him. His chiseled good looks contained a pair of handsome eyes. When he didn’t smile, his eyes looked as if they could see through a person. She knew that his smile looked terrifying…

Leila didn’t lower her head. She no longer had any dignity from the moment she knelt. She continued to beg, “I beg you, please destroy it!”

“Oh! I’m sorry, Miss Hunter, time is up!” Vince smiled and dust off his sleeve in disgust as if she was filthy. Then he walked off in strides in full view of everyone.

Leila continued to kneel in place as he walked away. She bit her lips and then yelled, “I will look for you again! Mr. White, can’t you do it on behalf of the Hunter family?”
