A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 25

Sherry raised her head, her heart was startled the moment her eyes met with someone.

 

The atmosphere felt tense. The noisy crowd suddenly became silent as not a single person spoke anything.

 

Everyone held their breath. No one had seen such a man in a suit who appeared in Late Night Street. There were no words to describe about him. He was as handsome as a Satan when his eyes swept inadvertently. His mysterious eyes were like a fox’s and the vibe was indescribable which made people tremble all over.

 

The lip was tightened as the corner of the lips were slightly dropping. At the same time, it inadvertently brought out some sense of coldness. It felt like a leopard trying to invade its prey after locked down.

 

The man walked pass the crowds and walked towards Sherry.

 

After she was startled for a moment, she started to pack things quickly. When she was about to pick up the condom on top of the plastic bag in front of her but what caught her eyes was a pair of shiny leather shoes. It shined so bright even in the dark night.

 

As she raised her head, she saw his broad chest.

 

When she slowly raised her head, she started to look up at those cold eyes which had some sense of doubts.

 

"Excuse me, you just stepped on my thing! This is the latest edition, 9.90 yuan. Please pay me!" Sherry stretched out her hand calmly.

 

“Are you crazy?" He was still so arrogant.

 

There were no doubts that this person was clearly Mr. William Rowland.

 

"Yes, I'm so poor that I come out to sell condoms! Mister, please pay! 9.90 yuan!" she continued stretched her hand in front of William.

 

As William gazed across her palm, he saw several calluses. He frowned his pair of eagle-like eyes which felt unknowingly powerful.

 

She was still waiting!

 

The people around were watching at them.

 

The strong aura around William made everyone afraid to speak but instead of looking at them.

 

“I will take everything, is 1000 yuan enough?” he asked coldly.

 

Sherry looked at her remaining stock on the floor and shake her head. "That's too much, it's about 500 yuan for these remaining stocks. Mister, are you sure you want to buy everything?”

 

"Follow me!” William suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled her along.

 

“I don't want!" Sherry did not expect to meet him here. Why would he come to Late Night Street where only students come? It was after work time anyways and he could not control her private life.

 

William did not want to accept any rejection. He held her hand and pulled her along towards his Bugatti.

 

"Let go of me!" Sherry screamed. How about her stocks? Was she doing for nothing tonight? She did not sell more than hundred yuan in a night. He caused her to lose so much!

 

Sherry was dragged into his Bugatti as he closed the door. He immediately got in the car and drove away. Everything happened in an instant!

 

Sherry tried to open the door but it was locked. She angrily stared at William's handsome side face.

 

Was he crazy? He must be sick! What did it matter with him that she was selling things?

 

William started to feel her scorching gaze but he pretended not to look at her at all. When he drove out from Late Night Street, they arrived at a quiet road with trees.

 

She stared at him angrily and started yelling. “Mister, this is after work time. You don't have the rights to interrupt my private life. Don't interrupt me making money!"

 

"How much do you want?" He was surprised when he knew that his secretary would sell condoms after work! Damn, if this matter spread out, everyone would think that the Rowland Group did not take care of their staffs and not giving enough salaries! "Say it, how much do you need?"

 

"I." She realized that she ran out of words and stared at him for quite some time. "This is none of your business!”

 

“You're my staff. In the employee handbook, Article 25 clearly states that part time jobs are not allowed after working hours’ William replied coldly.

 

"That's not the case! It is written that part time jobs related to the actual job are not allowed!"

 

“Let's add another point then. Part time jobs are not allowed at all!”

 

Sherry narrowed her eyes at this cruel man in front of her. What was he trying to do? "Fine! That would be from tomorrow onwards. Mister, you have made me lose 500 yuan, please compensate me immediately!"

 

“Are you sure 500 yuan is enough?”

 

"You only made me lose this much!” Sherry looked at him calmly without any trace of timidity.

 

William tried to look for cash but there wasn't any. He simply took out a cheque book and signed. "1,000,000 yuan, is this enough?"

 

Sherry looked at the cheque and felt stunned instantly. She felt like being humiliated by him. "You only owe me 500 yuan. 1,000,000 yuan is too much but you don't owe me!"

 

William stared at her and noticed her stubborn tears flickering in her eyes. He slowly lifted his thin lips.

 

"Open the door!” Sherry almost wanted to cry and she felt humiliated by him. This moment reminded her that night when she was 20 years old...

 

He looked at her silently for quite some time. He finally asked her. "Say it, why do you sell this outside?"

 

“Open the door, I want to get down!" She was holding her tears as she did not want to cry in front of anyone!

 

“Are you short of money?" His scorching eyes were staring at her.

 

These words finally angered Sherry as she was trying to hold back. She suddenly looked out of the window and started screaming. "Do you think everyone is like you, Mr. Rowland? Born with a silver spoon in your mouth and destine to be wealthy since birth. How do you understand the helplessness of the poor people like us? What do you know? You don't understand! I am short of money, so what? Can't I earn it by myself? Did I provoke you? You take out 1,000,000 yuan to humiliate me? You think you are rich? Please go ahead and support the African refugees. You can do charity! Do you think that you need be a hero in front of me?”

 

William was completely stunned.

 

It was unexpected to see such an weak woman to be so fierce!
