A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 258

Leila put the lighter and cigarette pack into the pocket of his suit again. She remained silent and sat on his lap without knowing what to say.

"Cough, cough, cough—" Suddenly, she was choked by the smoke from him and coughed uncomfortably. "Mr. White, my trachea is suffering to smell the smoke, can you let me go!"

"No!" Vincent White’s ruthless words rang in Leila’s ears and she continued to cough uncontrollably. Vincent’s eyes condensed and he became quiet, letting her go.

After that, he took out a card and put it on the coffee table. "Go ahead and buy a dress, you are going to join the banquet tonight!"

Leila didn't know how she got out, holding the gold card given by him. She was stunned for a while. This was the first time that he gave her his money. However, she felt like she owed him.

As soon as she walked out of the hotel, her phone rang. Leila turned on it and she found out that it was Vincent’s call. She had never forgotten to answer his call after it rang for three seconds.

"Wait for me at the corner 100 meters ahead, I am going there now!" Vincent said solemnly. Just as he finished his words, he hung up the phone immediately.

Leila looked at the front and walked straight for 100 meters. However, she was a little absent-minded as her mind was recalling the moment that he gave her the gold card. His eyes were deep and his voice was overbearing. She was not given a chance to reject it.

Why did he give her the gold card and why did he order her to attend the banquet tonight? She thought a lot but still couldn't think of a reason. She just felt that the relationship between both of them became very complicated if she spent his money.

That feeling was not good.

Now he called her again, was he going to accompany her to buy a dress?

Her prediction was right. When she was about to reach the corner 100 meters ahead, his Bugatti squeaked to a halt at her side. Leila looked up in a flash and saw the car window rolling down, revealing Vincent’s handsome face.

The deep voice rang, "Get into my car!"

Leila lowered her head, pursing her lips. Then, she got into his car.

After knowing that he might have a backup of the video just now and after taking the card which he forcibly gave, she felt very awkward and terrified of him. She seemed like on the edge.

"Mr. White——"

"I am bringing you to buy a dress. Although there are not many people who know that you are my wife, I am not letting you put me on shame in front of those who know!" Vincent started his car as nothing happened.

He really took her to purchase a dress.

Leila couldn’t believe it. Wasn’t this the same situation that she saw last time? He often helped women to buy clothes. When she thought of that scene, she felt upset and whispered, "If I don’t attend the banquet, I would never put you on shame!"

She never had the interest to enter the legendary upper-class society. Even if those events were organized by the government or agencies, she would not like to join any so-called economic forum-like banquets because her motto was to keep a low profile. She never wanted to show off anything.

"Vincent White’s wife must attend every occasion!" he said.

Wouldn't it be better if she was not going?

Why must he force her to go?

Oh! It seemed wrong. This was ordered by Director Gordon!

Feeling a bit irritated, Vincent loosened his collar and that was the first time he felt that he didn't know much about himself.

The car stopped in front of a luxurious building. Vincent led Leila into the VIP elevator. After stepping out from the elevator, a woman in white smiled gently and greeted him, "Vincent, how come you heading here in person? If you called me, I will certainly let someone send any clothes you like to you."

Vincent pulled Leila to the front of that woman,"Pick a dress for her for a banquet tonight."

After saying that, he sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette to smoke. He looked around the store and glanced at Leila. Then, he took a magazine next to him and started to read it.

At that moment, Leila found out that this woman was the one who had dinner with Vincent at Seah Restaurant last time. She was very charismatic. It seemed like this woman loved to put on white clothes and she looked so pretty and charismatic.

"You smoke again. Smoking is bad for your health. Do you want to die?" The woman walked over to grab the cigarette in Vincent’s hand and extinguished it. "Other than that, there are all high-end dresss here. If you spread the smell of smoke at my store, what should I explain to my customers about that? Are you going to take responsibility if it affects my business?!"

Vincent frowned, "How much does it cost? I will pay you!"

"Why should I get your money? Do you think that I'm the same as those women? Although I want to be a parasite, I am sorry that I don’t own such a life!" The woman rolled her eyes. Then, she glanced at Leila and her eyes shined with profound meaning, "Vincent, you have such a good taste, another pretty lady here!"

The woman in white had a beautiful smile. She was praising Leila but her eyes were full of disdain, it seemed like she grouped Leila as the kind of woman who would be kept as a mistress.

Leila could see that this woman in white had a close relationship with Vincent because she dared to extinguish his cigarette and Vincent only rolled his eyes at her without getting mad. It was obvious that they were very familiar with each other. There was even a trace of pampering from Vincent’s eyes to her.

Seeing Pippa Russell’s disdain from her eyes, Leila recalled that Pippa had said "another pretty lady" just now, she guessed that Vincent always brought women to buy clothes there. Not knowing the praise from the woman was sincere or ironic, Leila still replied politely, "Thank you! You are more beautiful!"

"Pippa, dress her up, there will be a banquet tonight! I'm in a hurry, don't waste my time!" Vincent ordered.

"Alright, I got it! Don’t keep rushing me!!"
