A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 30

“No!” She shook her head and her eyes glared wide open. This man was terrifying.

 

"Smack!" She swung her hand and he didn't dodge and took on the full impact of the slap. She was stunned.

 

With a scoff, William's cold gaze locked onto her startled eyes and licked the blood at the corner of his lips. He grinned and his ruthlessness flashed across his eyes and then he regained his deathly coldness.

 

“You are the first woman who dares to hit me but I'll give you this honor!” His tone was overbearing but tender.

 

She stared at him and her heart started to flutter. She was terrified about this man because he could cause raging waves within her heart.

 

“Be good, don't get me worked up!” His domineering arrogance raised her surprise a higher level.

 

"You're crazy!” She was so shocked that she had forgotten the purpose of looking for him and quickly escaped.

 

"Sherry, what happened to your lips?" Alice looked at her hurrying out of the director's office and looked at her curiously, “Er! It's swollen! Did Mr. Rowland kiss you?”

 

“What the hell are you talking about?" Sherry tensed up immediately.

 

She mustered up a smile but realized that even the corner of her lips was stiff. She quickly ran to the restroom. She looked into the mirror as her trembling fingers touched her painful lips. She had been forcibly kissed and her lips were painful as they were burning hot.

 

What did he mean? What were his intentions by doing these tyrannical actions?

 

She composed herself before she walked out of the restroom.

 

William remained in his office for the rest of the day.

 

At the end of the workday, Sherry received Celia's call. She was back after a vacation in Singapore. "Hi, Sherry, shall we go for a celebration? Take our Dan and we'll have dinner at a Western restaurant. I'll give you a treat!"

 

“What's the occasion?" Sherry grinned and forgot for a moment that she was violated by William, “You sound very happy!”

 

"Yes, I'll tell you later! Oh yes, I'll pick Dan up first, and thereafter we'll pick you up at your office at six. Don't forget that!" Celia instructed.

 

“Okay! See you later!" Sherry hung up the call.

 

"Sherry, is that your boyfriend?” Alice started to poke her nose into her personal affairs again.

 

"Yes!" Sherry was about to deny but when she saw William, her heart skipped a beat, and inexplicably nodded.

 

"Sherry, you have a boyfriend already?" Alice yelled.

 

Sherry glanced at William and said, "Yes, of course! He'll pick me up later!"

 

She was hinting to William that she already had a boyfriend and he should not harass her anymore! William's gaze sharpened and walked briskly to Liam's office.

 

Sherry heaved a sigh and thought that Mr. Rowland should not bother her again.

 

After work, Sherry took the lift down. The colleagues who were gleefully chatting away suddenly became silent when she stepped into the lift. She felt that countless eyes were looking at her when she stepped out of the lift.

 

She saw Celia's car a distance away as soon as she stepped out of the main lobby.

 

In the main lobby, the director's reserved lift also opened.

 

Sherry started to run towards Celia's car. Celia drove a manly off-road vehicle. A small boy got out of the car and ran towards Sherry, "Mommy, I'm here to pick you up!"

 

"Slow down!" Sherry hugged him, "Dan, let's go quickly!"

 

William walked out of the building and turned his gaze and saw someone carrying a child into the car.

 

"Sherry?!" William was stunned, that child?

 

Sherry turned and saw William standing at the entrance of the building. Her heart almost jumped out of her throat. Then she saw William walking over in large strides...

 

"Drive! Celia!” Sherry stuffed Dan into the car and then quickly got in thereafter.

 

“What happened? Have you seen a ghost?" Celia immediately started the car when she heard her yell.

 

William's eyes narrowed ominously. Did she really have a boyfriend? Really?

 

"Mommy? Is there a big bad wolf?" Dan was curious and looked behind but the car had already driven off.

 

"I've been encountering some insane people recently!" Sherry explained, “But I'm fine, don't worry. Where are we going?”

 

“Okay! My brother's western restaurant is opening today. Free invitations. Of course, we must not miss out on a free meal!" Celia joked.

 

“Why do you make us sound like we are beggars?" Sherry grinned and brushed off the harassment she encountered today.

 

“Leon, this is my friend Sherry and my godson, Daniel. We're here to celebrate your restaurant's opening!" Celia held onto Dan's hand and congratulated Leon while giving him a sizeable red packet.

 

Sherry presented a bouquet of flowers, "Leon, congratulations on your opening!”

 

This wasn't the first time Sherry met Leon but Leon looked particularly handsome when he wore a business suit today.

 

“Sherry, we've not met for years!" Leon was stunned and looked curiously at the child next to Celia, “This child looks so familiar!"

 

“Leon! I'm starving! Quickly serve the food!" Celia interrupted him.

 

“From today onwards, you are my...’ William's tyrannical declaration rang in her ears and Sherry was immediately distracted.

 

Sherry, why is your heart pounding?

 

Ah ah ah ah...

 

I'm going insane! I'm going crazy! Sherry, why are you thinking of that man? Didn't you say to take him as a lunatic? But the warmth on her lips still lingered and she was totally conflicted! She was in a mess. Her mind started to buzz continuously.
