A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 709

Realizing that perhaps he was walking fast, Marley Hughes intentionally slowed down his pace to wait for Sylvie McCarthy's pace. Sylvie felt him slowing down his pace and was slightly puzzled, just puzzled. What was wrong with Marley? Did he have any problem?

There was no much excitement on her face, but rather a kind of edgy look; she wasn't sure of what was going on, everything seemed derailed, and this feeling of derailment made her feel scared and inexplicably palpitated.

Her eyebrows furrowed, her face changed repeatedly, and her lips couldn't help but pout; it was so cute. This scene coincidently fell on Marley's gaze as he turned his back; his thin lips couldn't help but induce a funny curve.

She was walking fast, and at the corner, Marley suddenly turned around, and she was caught off guard and bumped into his chest. ‘Ugh! My nose hurts!’

Marley reached out to hold her shoulder; she raised her face in a panic and grinned in pain, but her eyes met his eyes as deep as the sea, and when she touched that handsome face, her movements froze, and her eyes slightly widened!

Because she saw the smile in his eyes, yes, it was a smile!

No more than 5 seconds after their gaze met, she looked away from him.

She didn't have time to admire the man in front of her, this is the finance department, people come and go, and maybe someone will come soon.

"Sylvie, relax, although I'm quite demanding of you! I'm not a tiger!" he spoke.

"Uh! Yes!" she could only nod in a panicked manner.

A rare smile surfaced on Marley's perfect face, "Hold your chest up, don't look beaten, be as imposing as you should be, you are not only my secretary, but also my wife!"

After saying this, he reached out and helped her straighten her clothes before releasing her and turning around to continue walking down the corridor.

And Sylvie's gaze filled with suspicion and incomprehension, still looking at the tall figure in front, with a trace of confusion in her gaze, but fleetingly, she didn't have time to think more; she needed to hurry into work.

At Hughes's finance department, there were dozens of staff.

Walking through the corridor and entering the finance department, Marley's sudden arrival brought on the entire finance department a layer of cold air. An initially slightly relaxed office atmosphere suddenly turned out, leaving the people in a stunned state.

The cold air was somewhat firm in the large compartment, and more than a dozen men and women lost their voices for a moment.

Everyone was amazed; why the president's sudden raided inspection?

In reaction, everyone stood up in unison and respectfully shouted, "Good day, president!"

Marley faintly raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "Everyone has worked hard, no need to be formal. I hope that the next time I come, everyone will be busy with their work, and not even notice my arrival! Hughes does not like double-minded employees, and I hope that during office hours, everyone devotes 100% energy to work! Of course, when it is resting time, I also hope that everyone can rest 100%, and then continue working hard, and from now on, strive not to work overtime!"

"Yes!" everyone now relaxed a little bit but was still very cautious.

Sylvie wondered in her heart if this Marley Hughes had some unique character that made everyone who met him scared. She followed behind him, and everyone still gave her another meaningful glance, even though they were pretty afraid of Marley.

At this time, a middle-aged man quickly greeted him from an office. Sylvie knew he was the finance department manager, and he looked a bit trembling seeing Marley himself paying a visit to the finance department. "President, why the sudden visit? If something is wrong, I can come upstairs and report to you!"

Marley didn't think so and just said, "Manager Lee, give me the report that I informed you yesterday, the financial statement of the last quarter is also ready, right? Prepare it together as well; I'll take it later!"

"Yes! Yes! I'll prepare it right away!" Manager Lee immediately said.

"Everyone, get busy with your work!" Marley said in a deep voice.

Everyone froze for a moment, then suddenly recovered from the shock and hurriedly began to work.

Although all were trembling, Sylvie still noticed that the female staff flew to put away all the messy things on their desks quietly.

Some of the female staff seemed to be unable to conceal their excitement, and although all of them were scared, they still could not help but steal a look at Marley.

Marley took Sylvie directly into Manager Lee's office, who hastily asked Marley to sit. The president came to his office himself; he was suddenly excited and frightened at the same time, "Please sit down, president! Secretary Sylvie, please have a seat!"

Marley sat on the sofa, casually crossed his legs; Sylvie stood next to him but did not dare to sit.

Manager Lee sorted out the report and put it on the desk.

"Manager Lee, I want the revenue analysis of the already completed big project, as well as the procurement and account analysis of the previous preparatory department. Have you made it?"

Manager Lee smiled with a trace of difficulty on his face, but he said immediately, "Yes, President!"

"What?" Marley noticed his expression and immediately raised his eyebrows.

"President!" Manager Lee's face still showed some difficulty!

"Say!" Marley said in a deep voice.

"I found a problem with the purchase!" Manager Lee was a little reluctant, but he still voiced his doubts.

"What kind of problem?"

"They made false accounts!"

"Was it before or after I came back?"

"It was before, it stopped after you came back, and there was no more problem." Manager Lee said matter-of-factly, "It's just that the previous deficit is a little bit big!"

"How much?"

"The amount is huge!" Manager Lee handed over the accounts.

Marley took it, swept a glance, slightly narrowed his eyes, pondered for a long time, "Don't say anything about this, let this matter stuck here with you, do not tell anyone! Understand?"

"Understood!" Manager Li nodded his head.

"Secretary Sylvie, take the things we want, and let's go!" Marley stood up.

Manager Lee handed over the document to Sylvie. She took it, held it, and then followed Marley out of Manager Lee's office.
