A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 320

“Don’t you want to feel better?” Arthur raised his eyebrows.

“Hmm…” Leila could only smile as this man really was able to read people’s minds.

“Come on, don’t stay at the hotel anymore. I have a place where you could stay. You can hide away for three days without anyone to disturb you, and even Vincent would not be able to find you.”

“Really?”

“Would someone as sweet and kind as me lie to someone?” Arthur raised his eyebrows and flashed his eyes at her.

After a moment of silence, Leila nodded, “Alright, I trust you!”

“Let’s go then!” He stood up and extended his hand to help her get up.

“I really would like to hide away for three days where no one could find me. Are you really sure that this is possible there?”

“Of course!” Arthur assured her. He smiled so sincerely that it was impossible to look away and doubt him.

Leila couldn’t help but look at him and thought to herself that Arthur really was even more charming than a woman could be.

After getting in the car, Arthur started the car in a hurry and then took out his phone, “Hey, Helen! Please prepare two sets of woman’s clothes, two sets of pyjamas and two sets of dresses, and all of the daily necessities that a woman needs. Yes, her height?”

Arthur turned his head and looked at Leila and then said, “She’s about 163cm, and she almost reaches my chest. Yes, would like the best of everything!”

Once he had finished speaking, he hung up the phone and displayed the most fascinating smile.

“Is all that for me?” Leila looked at Arthur rather suspiciously.

“Do you think that I often invite women over there?” Arthur answered rather vaguely, his smile still engraved onto his face.

“Thank you!” Leila appreciated his consideration.

The HL Apartment at the F City.

Once they had arrived, Arthur took Leila directly to the elevator from the garage.

“You have an apartment here? The apartments here are so expensive!” Leila was stunned throughout the whole journey. Not only were the apartments here not far from the sea, but were also the most luxurious apartments in F City. The apartment building was 28-storey high so you could watch the sunrise over the sea from the bedroom. This apartment was so expensive that even if she worked as a civil servant for a year, she wouldn’t even have enough money to afford just one square metre.

Arthur chuckled when he saw the look of amazement on her face, “Yeah, what’s wrong with living here?”

“I thought that only super-rich and powerful people could afford to live here, I didn’t expect that even normal people could live here!” Leila said softly as if talking to herself.

This kind of comment coming from this young woman in front of him startled him slightly but he also found it slightly amusing. She really was a woman who delved into fantasies, however, he felt happy to be able to see her reaction like this.

For a moment there was silence. Leila glanced at the floor level displayed on the elevator as it rose to the 27th floor.

As she was taken inside the apartment, Leila was shocked by the simple décor and huge floor-to-ceiling windows, “Wow, so beautiful!”

From the windows, you could see the sea, and although it was dark outside now, the sea could still be seen due to the many lights on the sea.

“Can we really see the ocean from here? Does this mean I can watch the sunrise over the sea tomorrow morning?” Leila was both shocked but also a little excited. Her face began to turn slightly red.

After displaying much amazement and awe, she began to calm down again, this excitement she had was as if she had completely forgotten all of the complicated matters going on in her life.

Arthur turned his head and smiled deeply at her. “You can stay in the first room on the left for three days; my bedroom will be opposite to yours. During these three days, you don’t need to come out, I will be responsible for delivering the food to your door. You can choose whether or not you want to see me, however, if you don’t feel so comfortable with me here then I can go stay somewhere else!”

Leila was startled by what he said, even slightly embarrassed. “No, it’s fine. Thank you for letting me stay here tonight, I’m not going to trouble you even further!”

“Then feel free to do as you wish. Your things will arrive soon, but for now, I’m going to go take a bath and then look for something to eat, I’m starving!” Arthur shrugged and then went to his bedroom, but once he reached the door he then turned around and said, “Just make yourself feel at home!”

Leila pushed open the first door on the left and walked inside. The black and white monochrome décor made the colour contrast very strong but also very appealing. The curtains were white, but the headboard of the bed was black, however, the bed currently only just had the mattress. Leila sat down onto the bed and lay down, the quietness of the room making her feel lonely once more.

She wondered how he was going to react…

At the HJ Hotel.

When Vincent saw Leila’s name displayed on his phone he became so angry he also stomped his feet, however without hesitation he began to dial her number.

However, the voice on the phone notified him that her phone was turned off.

She had dared to turn off her phone?

He then dialled again, “Sorry! The phone number that you are trying to reach is unavailable at this time! Please try again later!”

Her phone really had been switched off.

This was very strange, very strange indeed!

He began to feel uneasy.

“Vincent, where is Leila?” Nora asked when she couldn’t find Leila in the banquet hall.

Vincent was livid. He then glanced at Pippa who was next to Nora. “I’m leaving mum to you.”
