A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 51

The thing was especially, that Sherry had found Daniel on the river bank, but she didn't say that, there was no need to tell other people about this private matter.

 

"I was just kidding!” Liam laughed, "Don't mind me!”

 

Sherry bit her lips and shook her head, "No!”

 

That moment, her phone rang.

 

She looked down onto the screen, and saw that it was William. She started to tremble, and declined the call.

 

“Why are you not picking up?" Liam asked.

 

"Oh, no, it's a wrong number”

 

"Okay!"

 

The phone rang again.

 

"I don't think that's a wrong number calling, is it?” Liam laughed and asked.

 

“Hmm!” Sherry looked down to check, it was still William, she knew that he would call again if she hung up, so she picked up, 

 

“Hello?"

 

“Are you home yet?" William asked impatiently.

 

"Not yet!" She said, she felt as if he was watching her, what kind of relationship were they having! This was really detestable!

 

“Hurry up then!" He demanded from her.

 

"Alright!" She replied.

 

William hung up the phone, and Sherry laughed awkwardly, "Just my friend!”

 

"Oh okay, well your friend is really worried about you!" Liam laughed, but she could hear a hint of loneliness in his voice. 

 

"Sherry, what do you think about our president?"

 

Sherry's expression froze, "I don't really know him!”

 

At the MH residence.

 

William lit his cigarette, he was sitting in the dark with no lights on, and dialed a number.

 

The line was connected and from the other end he could hear a deep manly voice, "Mr. Rowland?”

 

"Peter, come to the office on Monday, I need..”

 

On Monday.

 

Sherry came to work.

 

"Sherry, you haven't been to work for quite a few days!" Alice said surprised when she saw Sherry, ‘Finally you are back!"

 

"Yeah, I took a few days off!" Sherry nodded.

 

Sherry and Alice were getting along pretty well, Alice was a straight up person, sometimes she would also like to gossip.

 

Not to have any enemies was also something she should be happy about.

 

Sherry was very busy the whole day, she was trying to get the work done that was piling up in the past few days, then she 

called Susan about the fashion show, which was in about a week, and she had to talk with her about a couple of details.

William has been in his office since morning, he didn't come out once, and when Sherry went in to bring him coffee, he didn't look at her either.

 

Sherry looked at the time, and quickly gathered her things, about to leave for lunch.

 

As she was leaving the office, William also came out.

 

Their eyes met, and William asked in his deep voice, "Is your arm okay?"

 

"Yeah." Sherry nodded, William walked past her towards the elevator without saying more.

 

Sherry followed him to the elevator stiffly, she could smell a mixture of tobacco and cologne coming from him, it was puzzling 

her mind. But she was going to take the staff elevator, while he had his own.

 

While they were waiting for the elevator.

 

"when did you get home yesterday?" His eyes were staring straight forward, while he asked Sherry.

 

"I don't remember!” She answered.

 

And that was the truth, she was still shocked by the scene that William was acting up in the bathroom yesterday, and she still 

felt very helpless about that.

 

"You forgot?!" He raised his brows.

 

Sherry looked down on the floor, “Mr. Rowland, I hope you will allow me to resign after the fashion show!”

 

She didn't want to be his secretary anymore, it was horrifying for her.

 

He paused, he tightly pressed his brows together, and stared at her, “Let's talk about that later”

 

Then, the elevator arrived and he got in.

 

After lunch, Sherry went to Susan's company to finalize the details. When they finished and she was back at the office, it was already 5pm, time to go home, so she gathered her things, and prepared to pick up Daniel.

 

As she exited the lobby of the building, and about to walk towards the bus stop when she saw somebody get off a taxi. That person was no one else than the Mr. Mollison she had been looking for so intensely.

 

Sherry's face lost all it's colors, her heart was racing, and she clenched tight to her bag, then she ran to Peter, "Sir, sir, please tell me where the man with the fox mask is!"

 

Peter wasn't too surprised by her and only looked at her, then he sighed, "Miss, I already told you, I don't know you!”

 

"Sir, how can you be so cruel?" Sherry saw her colleagues who were leaving the building in that moment and lowered her voice, "Sir, you are the only one who can help me now, please, I am begging you, tell me where he is? How can you forget? Please help a mother!"

 

"Miss, what do you want from me?" Peter started to look angry.

 

Sherry was afraid he might leave, so she grabbed his arm, “I want to see him, tell me where he is! I want to see him!"

 

"Miss Murray, and what if you see him?" He sighed.

 

"So you admit that you know me?" Sherry paused, a hint of joy was on her face, this was her hope, her only hope, she was 

already about to give up, but now she was seeing hope again, how could she not be happy about that?

 

“Miss Murray, let me ask him, if he agrees to see you, then I will call you, how about that? I suggest you to go home now:
