A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 711

All three of them were taken aback as if they hadn’t expected Secretary Sylvie would answer them so wickedly.

At once, no one talked anymore and they all lowered their heads and began to eat.

Maisy fiddled with the food on her plate and said with some regret and yearning, “Although, the handsome and cool President has been snatched away by someone, since that person is you, it is nothing to be unhappy about. Sylvie, no matter what, I support you both. You must do your best!”

Hearing what Maisy said, the other two agreed and said, “Yes! You must try your best! Although the president is a bit serious, he is a good boss. If you both are together, we support you!”

“Yes! We support you!”

“Thank you!” She hadn’t expected them to say like this and also supported her to be together with Marley. Having their sudden support, she could only say thank you.

She just had a few bites when her phone rang. Sylvie hurriedly picked up her phone. Seeing Marley’s name, she was a little surprised and answered it, “Hello!”

“Bring me a meal!” After he finished saying this in a deep voice, he hung up the phone.

She looked at the phone and only got back to her senses after a long time. Then she hurriedly had a few more bites and then stood up. “I finished eating, you guys continue. I have to go to do something!”

After saying this, she went to pack an exquisite meal which was considered as balance since there were meat and vegetables and carried it upstairs.

“Oh! Their relationship really improved!” Maisy sighed.

Aila’s gaze turned towards Sylvie’s departing back. A faint gleam of light shone in her eyes with a hint of loneliness.

Sylvie carried the lunch box into the elevator and quickly reached the top floor. When she knocked on Marley’s office door, his head was buried in his notebook.

Seeing him not able to go to lunch during the noon break, she realized it might have been because he skipped work just now in order to take her to shop for bracelets, thus delaying some of his working affairs. So, he was this busy right now.

“Eat first!” Sylvie walked in, closed the door and then took the lunch box to the coffee table. She helped him to arrange it, put properly the chopsticks and then stood up to pour him a cup of warm water.

Marley raised his head and glanced at the lunch she brought. His thin lips opened a bit and said regretfully, “I don’t eat ginger. Help me to pick out the shredded ginger!”

“Uh!” Sylvie was startled and nodded. Actually, he could have picked it out by himself as he ate, but he still wanted her to pick it out for him. What a rich Young Master!

Seeing her impatience, he raised his eyebrows, “What? You don’t want?”

“No.” Sylvie replied stiffly.

“That’s enough already. Put it there and answer me a question!” He sighed.

“What?” She didn’t stop but continued to pick the shredded ginger while looked at him.

“Today morning you heard at the finance department that there was a problem of false accounts in the procurement of the main project. What do you think of it?”

Sylvie was taken aback for a moment and pursed her lips, “This is the matter of the decision maker. I am just a secretary, President!”

Hearing what she said, Marley didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He felt like she was holding a grudge and replied him with his own words, “I want your opinion!”

“I thought you made a decision. This kind of thing should be settled at the most opportune moment!” She said faintly.

“Oh?” Admiration flashed in Marley’s eyes, “Give your opinion!”

Sylvie put down the chopsticks, “You should eat first!”

Marley came over and sat down beside her. Momentarily, the sofa seemed to have shrunk a little and she moved to the side. Marley began to eat, “What about settling accounts at the most opportune moment?”

“These people didn’t do anything extraordinary after you came back and the big project is now under construction. If the person-in-charge changed halfway, it will inevitably cause some problems which may cause greater losses. So…” She only said until here and did not go on.

“Why did you stop?”

“Do you really want me to copy the secretary’s guidelines again?” she asked him back.

He was taken aback and smiled, “You really love to keep grudges!”

She continued, “So, since they have restrained themselves now, it is better to give them a warning and let the past be gone. When the project completed and the proceeds come back, then only teach them lesson and ask them to pay back the money that they laundered. In the future, naturally no one will dare to make such a mistake again! But if you want to completely eliminate this kind of false account problem, I think it is impossible! I think you understand the saying that if you are too strict and you will not have any friends later. I don’t know if thinking like this is right or not. Besides, didn’t you tell Manager Lee to not disclose it to keep the morale of the workforce stable?”

“Very good!” He did think so. If he changed person in charge at that time, it would imply that something had happened and caused more things to change which might lead to greater losses. He hadn’t expected Sylvie would know his intention.

While he was slightly surprised, he also admired her cleverness.

Sylvie felt a little embarrassed to be praised by him like this.

After Marley finished his meal in a few mouthfuls, Sylvie took a tissue and handed it to him. He wiped his mouth and then rinsed his mouth.

Sylvie kept and cleared the lunchbox, then as if she was thinking of something, she lowered her head and said, “You shouldn’t eat your meal so fast in the future or you might easily get stomach problems! Although you are busy with work and short of time, your health is still very important!”

Perhaps it was because she realized she had said too much, she wanted to go out to throw away the trash box.

However, a pair of arms hugged her into his chest. His breath was a little nervous and rapid, as if he wanted to hug her tightly. She was startled and turned around in panic. The man’s hands took the trash box from her and put it on the coffee tables. Then, he bent his waist, carried her and ran straight into the resting lounge inside.

“Marley…” Sylvie whispered.

Marley’s fierce eyes were burning hot inexplicably. Carrying her body, he kicked the door of the lounge to open it and then closed it with his foot.

She was stunned. A torrent flowed through her heart at lightning speed.

“Don’t worry too much about me. I am not a good person!” Marley’s voice was low and hoarse as he looked at her with a scorching gaze.
