A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 71

"..." Sherry was stunned. She looked at him smiling meaningfully and felt her legs were weak.

She suddenly lowered her head, trying to avoid eye contact with him.

At this moment, she wished she could be invisible and go separate ways with this person.

"Sorry, sir. We don’t have such service at our restaurant!"

"Really? Where is your manager?" William said coldly, striding to the second floor.

Sherry was shocked but did not follow him.

Ms. Finch came downstairs and saw Sherry standing alone, frowning in confusion, "Sherry, why didn’t you receive our guest?"

William stopped, and Ms. Finch greeted him with a smile, "You have been here before, sir. You are a friend of our boss! This way, please!"

"Oh! Ma’am, I want to have a cup of coffee made by this lady downstairs. Was the request too much?" William said with a firm tone, "Should I call Leon?"

"Sir, this request isn’t too much. Sherry, what are you waiting for? This gentleman wants to drink your coffee." Ms. Finch urged. A lobby manager had to satisfy customers, as long it wasn’t sexual. It wasn’t an easy job. You can't offend any guest!

William put his hands in the pockets casually, "Well! I will go upstairs first!"

"Sir, are you alone?" Ms. Finch asked with a smile.

"Yes!" William answered with one word in a deep voice. He then turned around and looked at Sherry with his deep-set eyes.

Sherry had no choice but to make a cup of coffee and served William's table in person. Meanwhile, Leon also heard that William was here. He immediately came out from the office to see him.

From afar, Leon laughed loudly, "Will! How come a big boss like you have time to come here?"

William stirred the coffee and smiled, "I came to pay you a visit!"

Sherry saw that Leon was coming so she turned to leave. William shouted, "Miss!"

"Sherry!" Leon saw Sherry was about to leave when he turned around, "Sherry, didn't you use to work at Rowland’s before? You and Mr. Rowland have discussed the details of the banquet yesterday. I am assuming that you already knew each other!"

"No! We don't!" Sherry said stiffly.

William suddenly sat upright, with a playful smile at the corners of his mouth. He was wearing a classic black suit. He was 1.8 meters tall, but he looked tall even when he was sitting. His playful smile and the deep-set eyes made people feel uncomfortable.

Sherry lowered her head subconsciously.

It seemed like his domineering vibe was born with him. He kept staring at Sherry. When the look in his eyes changed, a touch of trembling inadvertently made people quiver from head to toe.

Leon was startled. He then realized that it seemed a bit awkward between Sherry and William.

"Yes, this young lady seems to have worked in our company, but I don’t think I have met her before." William gazed at her. Sherry was already feeling nervous in front of him.

She stood by the table. She was about to speak up but ended up saying nothing. In the end, she nodded.

Right! I don’t know him! I have never met him! Sherry shouted in her heart.

"Haven’t you met before?" Leon was taken aback for a second, "What a shame!"

But for some reason, he felt that things between Sherry and William were not as simple as it seemed. Was he thinking too much? Leon was even more intrigued now. It felt strange to be intrigued like this! Uh, he had to stop being so curious.

"Sir, Mr. Hickman. May I be excused if that’d be all?" Sherry said politely and distantly.

"Wait, beautiful lady!" Will suddenly said. Her heart was beating fast when she turned around in a panic.

She was frightened and couldn't help but scolded William countless times in her heart. Yet she still had to look up and ask with a polite smile, "What else can I do for you, sir?"

William curled his lip, "It’s fine. Your coffee was very nice!"

"Thank you!" Sherry thanked him politely. "May I be excused now?"

William's eyes looked extremely cold, but meanwhile he was holding back the rising anger. He put the coffee cup down while looking at the woman standing beside him. She pretended to be strangers with him!

Leon felt something was wrong. And suddenly it seemed like he was here at a wrong time. Was it possible for him to escape? When the two staring at each other in anger, Leon fled!

The strangest thing was neither of them noticed!

There’s got to be something happening between them! Something unusual!

"Excuse me, I’d like to order a steak! Medium rare, please!" William said.

"Sure!" Sherry blinked her beautiful eyes and smiled, "Wait a minute, sir!"

Sherry called over the waiter who takes order, "This lady will take your order, please tell her what you need!"

"I want you to take my orders!" William became stubborn.

"William Rowland!" Suddenly, Sherry stared at him angrily. She wouldn't have called him like that if she wasn’t really irritated. But he crossed the line, and it has only been a day since he picked a fight!

William was a little unsatisfied with how she had addressed him. He held his chin with one hand while looking at her with interest, "Well, Miss. Do I know you?"

Sherry blushed. This man was the phantom of demon.

He pretended to be innocent. Damn it, now she seemed to be the insensible one!

Seeing her being silent, William said to the waiter next to her, "You may leave now, Miss. I’ll have a steak!"

"Ok!" The waiter found it odd yet couldn’t stop staring at Will’s handsome face. It was the first time she saw such a good-looking and powerful man. But she didn’t know the relationship between him and Sherry.

Sherry frowned for a second and recovered her calm right away.
