A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 555

Ethel froze when facing the accusation. “Well, little girl, how can I be blamed for this? Elijah is the one who has scandal with you, ok? Where do I mess with you?”

“Who asked you to leave halfway yesterday? I was almost trapped in the restaurant!” Esther was furious when she thought about yesterday’s joke of calling Elijah as her husband turned to a fact today.

“Well, I’m really sorry about yesterday as there was an emergency for me. I’ll repay you another day, by the way, what’s wrong with you? The reporter said that you and Elijah got married?” Ethel didn’t believe that it was true.

“It’s all scandal, scandal, do you understand?” Esther wouldn’t admit it as it was a forced marriage. She didn’t even go to the registration and she got the marriage certificate just like that, so it didn’t count! She wouldn’t admit it even if she died.

Ethel looked at her then looked at the large group of reporters that were blocked outside the lobby, “This story doesn’t seem groundless!”

“Ethel, it’s all because of you!” Esther couldn’t control herself cursing in a low voice.

“How did I mess with you again?” Ethel felt so wronged.

“Miss Price, the president wants you to go to his office on the eighty-eighth floor!” Meanwhile, the receptionist suddenly showed up in front of them.

“Me?” Esther pointed at herself. “How did he know I am here?”

“Yes, the president called and asked you to go up!”

“I’m not going!” Esther refused directly.

Both Ethel and Mrs. Tyson at the reception desk froze as she dared to go against the president’s order, did she know the consequences?

Esther looked at Mrs. Tyson’s puzzled eyes and only then she realized she had overreacted, after all, how could she disobey the president’s order. “Ooh…alright, thanks Mrs. Tyson, I’ll go right now!”

But inside her heart, she was cursing Elijah as she didn’t expect that he would know that she was here immediately.

“I’m going too!” Ethel was expecting something interesting.

“Let’s go together!” Both of them went into the lift.

When they reached the eighty-eighth floor, the secretary blocked two of them. “Mr. Kirby, the president said that he would only see Miss Price alone!”

“Why?” Ethel froze.

The secretary smiled faintly. “This is the president’s order!”

Esther shrugged her shoulders, “I’m going in!”

But when she walked to the entrance of the president’s office, she was stunned suddenly as her heart tightened until the door opened. A tall man grabbed and dragged her inside the room.

Ethel took the opportunity to shout, “Elijah, I’m here too!”

But the answer he got was a thud of the door closing.

The secretary smiled faintly, shrugged her shoulders, and returned to her place.

Ethel murmured. “Damn, he must have been fallen in love, this is real!”

Esther who was dragged inside the room was stunned as the tall figure with a familiar aura enveloped her. And fierce kisses made her breathe hard.

Elijah sniffed the fresh fragrance of her mouth, kissing her again and again. His breath hit her face. His eagerness and tenderness made Esther’s whole body tremble.

“Ooh…” Esther pushed him away because he kissed her as soon as she entered, “Pervert, Elijah!”

“Call me husband!” He gasped and hugged her.

Esther struggled as she wanted to avoid his embrace, but she didn’t expect him to carry her to the sofa. She squirmed up and down in his arms as she wanted to avoid and with a soft voice, she said, “Pervert! You are a pervert! You are a madman…”

“Don’t move, babe, otherwise you’ll suffer the consequences…” Elijah’s voice was so soft.

“Pervert!” Esther dared not to move again but looked serious and her voice muffled. “Tell me, why did you call me here?”

“Are you besieged by the reporters?” He asked, “What did you say?”

“I didn’t say anything!” She had been facing the flash lamp and kept her mouth shut.

“Why don’t you admit that you are Mrs. Perry?”

“Why should I admit it?” She struggled, “Put me down!”

It wasn’t that appropriate to sit on his lap while talking.

Elijah released her, “Why didn’t you admit it?”

“I won’t admit it even if I die! I’m not willing to be Mrs. Perry!” Esther lifted her chin and glanced at Elijah arrogantly. What else could he do since she disdained to be Mrs. Perry!

Elijah didn’t say anything but just said, “Come home for dinner as this is an order from Grandpa! Winnie and Hudson will also be there!”

“I’m not going!” Esther shook her head subconsciously. She didn’t know how to face Hudson, especially now that she was married to this damn Elijah Perry for no reason!

She was angry, was she supposed to go just because his grandfather asked them to go back for dinner?

“If you don’t go, you will always be bothered by my grandpa in return, I’m afraid that you won’t be able to stand it then!” Elijah warned kindly.

“What do you mean?” Esther froze.

“If you don't go, I'm afraid that next time, you won't be just besieged by reporters!”

“You mean that the reporters today were under the order of your grandfather?” Esther jumped onto Elijah’s executive chair and sat down while placing both her feet on the desk, acting as if she was the boss.

Elijah raised his head and looked at her. He was lost a while as usually he was the one who gives orders and when he looked at her sitting on his chair, he just felt this girl was so cute, “Yes!”

“Your grandfather is so boring!” Esther pursed her lips. “Why are you calling me here?”

“Didn’t I tell you to stay at home?” He said.

“I’m here to settle a score with Ethel!” She lifted her gaze indifferently and glanced at Elijah who had a gentle face, “I hate you for keeping track of my whereabouts!”

Elijah was faintly stunned then went speechless.

Suddenly, Esther was attracted by a cute cartoon desk in the office. “Oh my god, whose kid’s desk is this! It is so cute!”
