A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 277

“Callum!” yelled Renee, “Your brother could be any type of doctor he wanted to be, why did he choose to be a gynaecologist? It’s so indecent. You’re indecent too! Our menstrual cramps have nothing to do with you, why are you here discussing it with us?”

“Well!” Callum was speechless and he gulped, but he was not going to be outdone, “I’m just caring about you?!”

“Leave your love and care for your future wife! We don’t need your care!”

“Why are you like this, I’m just worried about you!”

Leila felt awkward, but she shook her head hearing them bickering. She walked away to wash her cup.

Callum and Renee bickered for the longest time in the office.

Leila came back to the office after making tea and they were still at it. They were initially arguing about menstrual cramps and they were now arguing about how Renee couldn’t get a boyfriend. If this continued, they would probably start arguing about the moon and there would be no end to this.

“Have some tea, you two! The teas are ready!” Leila interrupted them.

“Oh, thank you! I’m not going to argue with you anymore, just for Leila. Renee, you should be more like Renee. Look at her, she’s cute and nice. You’re just a crazy woman in comparison!”

“What?!” Renee rolled her eyes, “Look at yourself in the mirror! You’re like a smouldering ember! A freaking weirdo!”

“Hmph! The tea is so fragrant. Leila, you’re so good at making tea. The water you used was about 80 degrees Celsius, am I right? The tea will have a beautiful shade of green when the correct temperature is used!”

“Yes, I did!” Leila nodded.

“Leila, let me know if you still need to see a gynaecologist. I’m going back to work!”

Leila’s face turned red, she smiled and said, “Thank you, but…”

Before she could even finish her sentence, her smile froze when she saw a person with a large figure standing by the door. It was Vincent.

Vincent stood by the door and glanced at Callum and Renee. His gaze stopped on Callum for a bit. He seemed to see him as an enemy and there was anger in his eyes.

Leila was stunned, should she say hi?

But why was he here?

As she was hesitating, she heard Director Gordon’s friendly voice, “Ah! Mr. White, what brings you here? I was just talking about the event you sponsored last time, it was very successful. Speak of the devil!”

Vincent turned around and looked at Director Gordon. He reached out his hand and smiled as he shook Director Gordon’s hand, “I was looking for you. I didn’t know which was your office and was going to ask around. And you appeared! Great mind thinks alike!”

“Haha, that’s true! Great mind thinks alike! Come! Let’s go to my office!” Director Gordon then led Vincent to his room.

Vincent glanced at Leila when he passed her by. It seemed unintentional but at the same time, it looked like he was warning her about something. Leila felt a shiver down her spine.

“Wasn’t that Vincent White? He is the president of the White Group!” Callum blinked several times as he glanced out the door.

“We know! We are not so stupid!” Renee rolled her eyes at Callum. “If you’re done, could you please leave the female area in the office, since you are a male?”

“This is the office, a public space. There’s no gender restriction,” retorted Callum. They were about to go at it again.

“Well, bathrooms are also public areas. Why are they separated by gender then?”

“You are so annoying!” snorted Callum.

Leila’s heart was still beating fast. Vincent was here to meet Director Gordon. She was so scared, she thought he was here for her! But it was a good thing that that wasn’t the case.

When Callum finally left, Renee whispered secretly, “Hey, Leila. Your husband is so handsome. I felt like I would get electrocuted just by meeting his eyes! My heart was beating so fast. Also Leila, why didn’t you say hi?”

Leila didn’t reply, she still felt uneasy. He glared at her very sharply just now, as if he was warning her about something. What did she do wrong this time?

Wait!

She made Callum tea just now…

Erm! How long had he been here?

After 10 minutes, Leila’s phone beeped. It was a message notification.

She looked at it and saw that it was from Vincent. He told her to wait for him in the bathroom.

She was shocked. She was stunned in place and she took a deep breath. Why the bathroom?

Oh no!

“How about we go shopping after work later? My friend opened a new restaurant. Let’s go there, it’s new and we should go to support her!”

“Sure!” Leila wasn’t really listening, and she agreed to it. By the time she realized what she agreed to, she took a look at her phone and stood up abruptly. She frowned as she walked to the bathroom. He was already there.

“Why, why are you here?” She realized that she would start to stutter whenever she was nervous, “Are you here for business?”

He looked at her coldly.

Leila didn’t understand him. She looked up and took small glances at him. He was giving off an ice-cold aura. She then quickly looked down and asked in a soft voice, “But I, I didn’t do anything wrong!”

Why was he so mad?

He finally snorted. She looked at him again and stared at his flawless profile. His whole body was giving off a noble air, he was cold yet elegant. The expression in his dark eyes was frigid and stern.

“What are you mad about?” She really didn’t know what was going on.

“I didn’t know that my wife was so good at making tea!” Vincent’s eyes were wintry, his tone of voice was calmed yet oppressing.
