A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 236

“I see that you like my hugs.” They fell onto the ground after Julian caught Leila who was falling into his arms. He smiled maliciously and was touching her waist with his large hands, as if he was assessing her, “I see this is how it feels to lightly grip somebody.”

“Julian, you!” growled Leila as she fell onto his big and wide chest.

Her face was twisted. The door suddenly opened as she was about to get up.

“Eh, well,” Director Gordon froze up as he walked into the room, seeing Leila lying on top of Julian. He quickly slammed the door to hide this awkward situation.

Leila struggled to get up as Julian wasn’t keen on letting her go. He continued yanking on her clothes. Director Gordon couldn’t see what Julian was doing behind Leila. He was shocked seeing that Brian’s daughter was riding her son and got angry from embarrassment, “What are you guys doing? Get up this instant!”

Director Gordon growled. How could Brian’s daughter act so shamelessly, doing something like this with his son in the office in broad daylight? If this were to get out, his name in the city hall would be sullied!

“Julian, let go!” Leila’s face was twisted. She gritted her teeth as she realized that this ill-natured man was doing this to her on purpose.

“Haha!” Julian finally let go. He said as he helped Leila up, “Dad, it’s just a misunderstanding. We ran into each other accidentally and fell! And I was being a gentleman, cushioning her fall!”

Director Gordon sat down at his table at the back of the office. He looked displeased, but Leila was Brian’s daughter and hence he couldn’t say much. He then said in a low voice, “Leila, are you reporting in today?”

“Yes, Director Gordon!” Leila knew that Director Gordon was looking at her mockingly with disdain after witnessing what happened just now.

Leila sighed deeply inside. She then glanced at Julian who was behind her and rolled her eyes at him as a warning.

It was all his fault. It was his fault that she couldn’t say anything. Director Gordon probably misunderstood her because of that.

And she wasn’t even given a chance to explain herself.

“Julian, get out!” said Director Gordon in a low voice.

“About my case…” said Julian.

“Get out!” repeated Director Gordon as he interrupted his son.

“I won’t go out if you don’t promise me that!” Julian sat on the sofa and wasn’t going to leave.

Director Gordon stood up, “Leila, I’ll bring you to my office and we’ll have you familiarize yourself with the working environment!”

“Yes!” Leila nodded.

And they left the room. Julian was left all alone. He then ran out and yelled behind them, “Dad, how could you? This is not how it should be?”

Director Gordon didn’t even look back and Julian could only stare at their backs as they walked away.

Even though he was surprised by what happened just now, Director Gordon quickly regained his composure. He introduced Leila to the other employees enthusiastically, “Renee, this is Leila. She’s going to be your working partner. Do cooperate nicely and teach her about the basic working procedures.”

In the external liaisons office, a woman who was in her mid-20s stood up and bowed slightly as she said, “Yes, sir!”

“Leila, refer yourself to her if there’s something you are unclear about. Tell me directly if there are any complications. I’m heading back, you guys can talk,” said Director Gordon as he left with a smile on his face.

Leila sat down opposite Renee and smiled at her.

As soon as the director left, Renee tried to kiss ass, “So, I heard that you are Mr. Hunter’s daughter?”

“Erm!” Leila was taken aback. She smiled and didn’t respond.

Renee shrugged, “I know that kids with parents of statuses don’t like to talk with peasants like us. But it’s okay, I’ll still tell you everything I know about our work. So, our job is to study overseas Chinese affairs and propose suitable policies. We also overlook the networking and services for overseas Chinese, people of Hong Kong and Macau, and other associations. We are also responsible for the affairs with Taiwan and we review and approve the overseas Chinese’s international networking events that are held in this province. Isn’t it interesting?”

“It is!” Leila thought that Renee was a nice and straight-forward person.

It was her first day at work and she didn’t have much to do. She was looking at important news online and was analyzing the important reports, studying foreign affairs.

She would get off work at five and this would be her work from now on. She would be working here after she graduated. 5 days had passed in a blink of an eye, she wondered if Vincent would ever come back.

She felt depressed at the thought.

As she walked out of the government office building, she heard someone calling out her name, “Leila!”

Bystanders were staring because of Julian’s loud voice. Leila didn’t want to interact with him. But because of Director Gordon, she could not be rough with him. And she was still mad about the incident today which caused Director Gordon to misunderstand her.

Leila ignored him and continued walking forward.

“Hey, Leila!” yelled Julian as he walked over, “Are you still mad? How about I treat you to a meal? I was just pulling your leg in the morning, don’t be so petty!”

“I’m not free!” Leila rejected him. She pondered briefly and said harshly, “Why did you me dirty like that? I don’t even know you!”

“Erm! I was really just playing around because you won’t tell me your name!”

“Well, I’m going home!” Leila rejected him again.

“Could it be that you think I want to court you?” said Julian as he laughed.
