A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 267

“Tomorrow will be my off day!” He had been busy for two days without resting and now, he just wanted a rest. He looked at her and added, “Tomorrow you’re off too!”

“But today, I already took the day off!” Leila whispered.

“Then ask for another one!”

Leila looked up in dismay. She looked straight into the charming face of Vincent. The expression on his face was serious and earnest, which did not look like a joke. As he received no response from her, he pursed his lips, seemingly a bit impatient.

His order made her nod uneasily. ‘He was acting a bit extraordinary today,’ thought Leila.

Looking at her puzzled expression, Vincent secretly raised his eyebrows, and the thin lips that were tightly pursed now were pulled into a smile, a smile with a hint of interest. “I’m full.”

Vincent stood up and went upstairs.

Leila giggled and responded, “Oh! Good night!”

“I’ll wait for you in my room, come up after you’ve finished your food!” He walked to the second step of the stairs. Looking at the spotless stairs, he blinked and threw out these words.

“I still have to wash the dishes!” Leila panicked.

“I’ll wait for you!” He directly went upstairs.

Leila was so panicked as she could have ever been. As she finished her noodles, she stood up and cleaned up everything. However, she didn’t expect that she had used up 40 minutes to clean up. She guessed that Vincent might be asleep by now. Hence, what was the meaning behind that he said he would wait for her?

She headed upstairs. As she passed by the door of the master bedroom, she realized that the door was open. And Vincent, who was wearing pyjamas, was not sleeping. He was sitting on the bed and reading a book.

Leila was dumbfounded.

“Finished with your work?” He lifted his head and his sharp eyes swept over her face.

Leila nodded uneasily. Wouldn’t he think that she was deliberately dawdling in the kitchen?

“Come over and sleep!” He said in a deep voice.

An inexplicable emotion of shyness took over her like the lava from a volcanic eruption. Her cheeks blushed instantly. She could even feel that her ears had started to blush too.

She secretly clenched her fingers behind her back and took a deep breath. Her face was as red as a tomato, which made her too shy to see anyone. She lowered her head and said, “I’m going to sleep right now!”

She panicked till she could barely stand straight. She was so afraid that she would need to sleep with him, “Goodnight!”

She quickly ran to the guest room after she said that. Her heart was fluttering like having butterflies in her stomach.

Early in the morning.

A sound of closing a file with frustrations was heard in the study. Vincent turned and took a glance at the sky which was already bright and sunny. His cold face looked even gloomier than before.

A wave of inexplicable anger burned in his chest. Suddenly, his long and narrow eyes looked sharp. He quickly picked up the phone and his low voice sounded, “It’s me, help me investigate the argument that happened in YS Club. Moreover, investigate the relationship between Macey and the person she argued with!”

“Alright, I’ll call you after half an hour.”

“Thanks,” Vincent said lightly.

“No need to thank me, just come and find me when you’re free!”

Half an hour later, the phone rang.

“Vincent, what happened last night was strange. It was said that Macey’s sister, that is, your wife was targeted by another man. That man had slept in Macey’s bed the night before yesterday!”

“Got it.” The hand holding the phone tightened. Vincent’s sharp gaze looked out of the window. His hawk-like gaze focused on the mountains outside the window. The cold and lonely figure was emitting an even colder aura, like the hooker from hell.

His eyes narrowed. He fell into deep thoughts. So, she had something to do with it. Was she trying to harm Leila? Macey, he had underestimated her!

Leila woke up to see that Vincent had stayed up all night. The door of the study was open and the light was on.

She had fallen asleep not long after she ran to the guest room last night, but she didn’t expect Vincent to stay up all night.

Since there was no more food in the fridge, she walked to the door, “Vincent, you had been staying up all night?”

“Yes.” He turned around from the window, his unsmiling face was soaked with the coolness of the night, and his dark pupils looked at Leila.

“Why didn’t you sleep? Didn’t you say you were very tired?” She remembered that he said he was tired and had been looking very tired.

“I can’t sleep!” The three simple words made Leila stunned.

“Then go to sleep now, I’ll go out to do some shopping.”

“I’ll call for delivery, there’s no need to go out!” He changed his mind and refused to go out shopping.

“Is that okay?”

“Why not?” Vincent couldn’t help but narrow his eyes. He was arrogant and haughty like an emperor. He casually grabbed his phone. Sitting on the executive chair, he made the call, “Manager Billy, let the Purchasing Department of the hotel go buy some daily groceries and send them to my villa. Yes, vegetables, meat, seafood. Ya, let them decide the rest.”

Erm…

Surprisingly, he bought the groceries from the hotel!

Leila looked at her watch. She was going to make a call to apply for leave later.
