A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 686

"It’s none of your business! It’s not you turn to feel pity for her!" said Marley.

"Indeed, she is your wife! You’re the on who feels pity for her. But aren’t you afraid that she would tell Cassius?"

"This is my agreement with the old man. It’s none of his business!" With that, Marley started to work again.

Tyler rubbed his nose and said, "OK! I will get the materials prepared. I wonder if the old men agree with me to help you!"

"Don’t worry. , with me, I won’t indulge them this time. They have broken the company. If they speak nonsense, I won’t show any mercy."

"Can you bear?" Tyler asked.

Marley was stunned and laughed, "People will gradually become cruel!"

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. There are some things you really try your best!" Tyler said in a low voice.

"It's my responsibility!" Marley raised his head and looked at Tyler. “Tyler, thank you anyway!"

"Don't mention it!" Tyler said with a smile, "We are buddies!"

They looked at each other and laughed. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

Sylvie came in with the water and saw that they were laughing. her face was expressionless. Without speaking, Marley focused himself on working with his head hanging. Tyler took a thoughtful look at Sylvie. Facing her eyes, she turned around and went to work.

Seeing that she was carefully cleaning the bookcase, Tyler couldn't help frowning. "President, I’ll get down to business!"

It took her so much effort to clean up the office.

There were three women in the secretary room outside the president's office. They looked like secretaries who worked in the cubicle. They all peeped at her. Sylvie heard their whispering on the way to the bathroom. "See? That's Sylvie Mccarthy, the illegitimate daughter!"

"I don't think the president likes her at all. He married her just for the capital of the Mccarthy. See, he is giving her a hard time on the first day of work..."

Sylvie sighed. She knew very well that Marley was being hard on her.

Back to the president's office, she stood there and asked softly, "President, I’ve done cleaning. What else do you need to do?"

Marley raised his head and looked at her.

Marley stood in the center of the office, neither humble nor arrogant, biting her lips with mixed feelings in her heart.

"Miss Sylvie, are you sure the bookcase has been cleaned?" he asked.

Sylvie was confused by his question. Originally, she thought she did a good job cleaning the bookcase, but she was not so confident after hearing his question. "Mr. Hughes, you can check it yourself!"

Marley was silent for a while and stood up. His tall body came towards her with a sense of oppression. Sylvie was nervous. he stopped half a meter in front of her. A pleasant voice sounded, "Miss Sylvie, you will be punished if you don’t do done your job well!"

Sylvie became nervous. Without answering him, she looked down at his black shoes that was as clear as a mirror. Then she looked at the dust on her small shoes. Suddenly, she lost her confidence. She was sure he was a clean freak based on his smooth trousers.

Before she could say anything, Marley took out a white handkerchief and went to the bookcase. He gently wiped it from the left to the right, then turned back and said in a low voice, "Miss Sylvie, come over and have a look. Is this your attitude towards work?"

Sylvie suddenly looked up and saw his white handkerchief stained with a light stain. It was true that it was scraped off from the bookcase with a handkerchief. Suddenly, her eyes widened as she realized that she really hadn't wiped it clean or that she disappointed Marley. She bit her lips and didn't dare to look directly at him.

She blushed. Was she guilty?

Didn't she feel confident before?

Marley was suddenly curious about what was in her mind at this time. Although he knew it was not right, he was really curious.

After a long time, when Marley thought she wouldn’t speak, she raised her head and said, "Mr. Hughes, I’m willing to be punished!"

Her tone was very low, but she was neither humble nor arrogant. She seemed to accept it like this. Marley was surprised, looking into her eyes.

As their eyes met, Sylvie looked away.

Marley’s eyes were meaningful, which was more terrified than coldness. His eyes were so dark an deep that people might fall into it carelessly. She dared not look at him. She was the one who failed to do a good job, and he couldn’t be blamed for being picky. She was willing to accept punishment. The world was so cruel. Every work and thing has its own rules. It was not other’s fault if you failed.

She thought that she was excellent, but it was not the case. As she thought of this, her eyes darkened.

Seeing that she looked down, Marley sized her up. He said until he caught the sadness in her eyes. "Clean it till it’s spotless. By the way, you can use the mop to mop the corridor outside the door!"

"Yes,” Sylvie whispered, turned around and went out with a rag.

Marley looked back at her figure, drew back his sight and went back to his business.
