A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 341

Vincent explained with a stiff voice, “If it's true, I'm sorry. Pippa wasn't doing too well last night!”

“Understood!” Leila nodded. She then pulled open the door, and pointed at the door. “Please leave!”

She had not slept all night, and now she just wanted to catch up on her sleep!

Vincent’s face froze and he sulked, “Are you driving me away?”

“Yes!”

“Where did you go last night?” His black eyes glowed with a cold light, and his tone became cold, “Why wouldn’t you knock on the door after I close it?”

Leila stood in the doorway and remain silent. ‘What’s the point of knocking the door’ She thought to herself. To continue watching him ignoring herself? Would she still have dignity after that? She did not explain anything and just replied, “I do not want to talk, I’m tired!”

“You stupid woman!” Vincent yelled, not sure if he was annoyed with himself for ignoring her, or with her attitude. It might even be both!

Leila pursed her lips! Yes, she was stupid! Very stupid!

“Leila, as the matter of fact, Pippa... I'm worried that she…”

“You don't need to explain to me!” Leila coldly interrupted Vincent, not letting him continue to talk and replied indifferently, “It’s your business, and I don't want to know. Please leave!”

Vincent was stunned. He pursed his lips and stopped talking, and the air flowed with a scary aura of silence.

After coming back to reality….

The deep, dark pupils of his eyes narrowed down for a while; a complex mixture of feelings could be seen though his eyes as he looked at Leila’s stubborn little face. She bit her lips while stubbornly glaring at him, a thin layer of mist could be seen covering her big eyes.

Vincent’s heart felt a vicious throbbing pain, a pain that came so suddenly.

Last night, he actually locked her out?!　

Then, he gave her a stare in the eyes and stride away.

Leila stood at the door. After a long time, as she finally closed the door, her eyes suddenly became blurry. She reached out her hands and wiped away some tears from her eyes.

After a knock on the door was heard, Leila took a deep breath, thinking that he was back. She let out a sigh and started feeling bad for him. However, after opening the door, she was disappointed as she did not expect to see a locksmith, who was standing there and asked her, “Miss, do you want me to pick any locks?”

“No, I want to change the lock on this door! Please help me change it!” Leila said softly.

Vincent wandered aimlessly through the streets in his car, his eyebrows frowning slightly as he took out his phone and pressed a certain number. The phone only rang twice and was immediately picked up.

“Vincent!” A soft female voice came from the other end of the phone.

“Is everything okay?” Vincent asked in a soft voice.

“It's fine, thank you for everything you did last night!”

“Pippa, I hope, when you face any problems, you can be strong. Do not repeat what you did last time, you still have to take care of Owen! If you really were to die, what can he do?”

“I know! I will be strong!”

“I'll pick you up, let's have dinner together!”

“Sure!”

“Be there in fifteen minutes.” He whispered and hung up the phone while steeping his foot on the pedal.

After eating breakfast with Pippa, Vincent asked Manager Billy from the HJ Hotel to send the image data from the entrance of Pippa’s exclusive suite last night. As he sat in his office, he started looking at the screen. He saw at the moment the door opened, Vincent walked into the door with his arm around Pippa, and he closed the door while locking Leila out in an instant, she was dumbfounded!

His heart, suddenly felt a pain.

So, it really was he who closed the door. Although he did it with no intentions, she was still locked outside. Although there was only a door between them, she was still locked outside. He suddenly remembered that she said, they were like two stars, separated by a few light years of distance! Thinking about it made his heart felt even more pain!

After the time in the video tape passed for about half an hour, Leila was still standing at the door, no movement could be seen as she still continued standing at the door, as if she was stubbornly waiting for him to open the door. However, after another half an hour passed, the door still did not open. He seemed to see her letting out a sigh as she slowly turned back and left.

Standing in the long corridor, she looked extraordinarily lonely. She was stubbornly standing still. Her small hands had clenched into fists, but she did not knock on the door. Her stubborn figure really made him felt sad for her.

The door of the president's room was pushed open.

As Arthur walked in, Vincent quickly turned off the video and looked up at him.

“What the hell is wrong with you? Didn't you say you were on vacation? Why didn't you go? Where is Leila? Where did you take Leila?” Arthur entered the door and asked a series of questions.

As Vincent sat on the luxurious swivel chair, he remained silent. Then, he looked at the stock market chart on the screen and frowned, “The stock seems to be climbing a bit fast!”

“Don’t change the topic” Arthur banged on the table. “Tell me, what is going on?”

“Why are you so concerned about me and Leila?” Vincent’s voice also turned deep, revealing that he was getting a bit impatient. He was already annoyed, and the fact that he had locked Leila outside was annoying enough. After being questioned by him, he felt even more annoyed!

“What do you mean caring about you and her?” Arthur sat down in front of him. “You’re wrong, I just care about Leila! Not you. You don't deserve my care!”

Vincent frowned and finally went silent for a long time. Seeing that Arthur seemed to be angry, he said unhurriedly, “Pippa encountered something, and I had to come back.”
