A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 719

But Marley Hughes was back now, all the supervisors in charge of every department became cautious because they were afraid of Marley. Few years ago, they had experienced his working attitude in Hughes Group. While Hughes Group faced its first crisis, he fired the heads of some departments to increase the employees’ work enthusiasm. In order to get rid of that crisis, he made everyone feel threatened. After that, he left Hughes Group and went to America to open his own company. At this time, Hughes Group encountered another crisis again which was insoluble. Even after he sold his newly developed company, he was still unable to reverse Hughes Group’s situation. So, he had no choice but to marry a woman from a wealthy family. 

Sylvie Mccarthy opened her notebook to note down the important points. Her speed of typing was fast but she was using a notebook, not a shorthand machine. 

When a few departmental managers saw her, they looked at her meaningfully. 

When Marley saw her noting down with hands, he frowned and said deeply, “Secretary Sylvie, I hope that you can learn how to shorthand!”

“Yes!” Sylvie raised her head to look at him. 

“The shorthand machine in the secretariat is not a decoration!” Marley’s tone was sharp and his expression was solemn. 

“Yes!” Sylvie could only answer in that way and said respectfully, “I am sorry that I haven’t gotten used to it. But, I will learn how to shorthand in a short time.”

Then, she said to the other colleagues, “I am sorry for disturbing the meeting time.”

“Jot down properly!” Marley said again. 

“Yes!” Sylvie quickly typed it out. 

Tyler Cooper was close to Sylvie and turned his head to look at Sylvie. He saw Sylvie typing rapidly and she did not even look at the monitor. She was typing with her agile fingers to write down each and every detail. Her typing speed was as fast as a typewriter’s pace. 

Tyler was slightly amazed and laughed secretly. If Marley saw that she was able to record every meeting details, would he ask her to learn shorthand?

After half an hour, the meeting ended. 

All the people left continuously and Sylvie was sorting out the meeting minute. After typing out the last few words, she saved the document. 

Marley looked at her and said deeply, “Have you written everything down?”

“Yes!” She said.

“Follow me!” Marley said again deeply and stood up. He walked out the meeting room and directly walked back to his chairman office.

Sylvie could only follow him to his office. She stood in front of his office table with the notebook in her hands. Marley was still sitting on the chairman chair. 

“Can you learn how to shorthand?” He asked. 

“Maybe!” She said it softly. 

“Be a well-prepared person and learn everything, especially be proficient in a few things!” Marley looked at her, “Always remind yourself that life is a process of incessant learning. Not only learning, you need to enjoy the learning process. Can you make it?”

Sylvie calmed herself down, “Yes.”

“Alright, you can get out now. Print out the meeting minute and let me see how many have you recorded.” While saying, he suddenly changed his tone to a soft one, “Hope that you don’t make me embarrassed.”

“Oh! Yes!” Sylvie left embarrassingly.

Outside, everyone was busy doing their stuff. 

She walked back to her working area and printed the document. Then, she went to the chairman office again. 

When she handed over the printed meeting minute to him, Marley took it and slightly looked at it. He was astonished and put down the document, “Your typing speed is fast!”

“Not bad!” Sylvie said. 

“But, I still hope that you can learn how to shorthand!” He said. 

“Yes! I will learn it!” Sylvie said.

“You may go out!” He said it deeply. 

After she left, Marley could not bear from raising the corner of his mouth. She was not useless since she possessed some abilities. She was actually able to follow the rhythm of his speech. 

He smiled while shaking his head. When he recalled something important, he took out his phone and dialed a number. “Officer Martin, it’s Marley speaking. I need your help and let’s meet up this afternoon!”

“Alright! I will meet up with you later!” After putting down his phone, Marley lost in his thoughts. 

Without knowing the reason, after Sylvia walked out from the chairman's office, the feeling of pressure had filled everywhere in the secretariat. Aila also showed an unfriendly expression. 

Maisy Hill and Daria Cox showed a smiley face towards her and then continued busy doing their stuffs. They buried themselves in working and their tables were filled with documents like analysis reports. When looking at such a busy scene, Sylvie also felt extremely fulfilled.

When it was almost time to get off from work, Marley came out from his office and walked towards Sylvie and said softly, “You go back yourself after work. I have something to do so I won't go back to eat dinner!”

Then he left! She could only say, “Yes.”

After half an hour. While getting off from work, someone shouted, “Eh? Is he Ernie Hughes? The eldest son of the Hughes family! The chairman’s cousin!”

They could see a black car parked in front of the building and Ernie was sitting inside the car with the door opened. He faced towards the entrance of the building and when he saw Sylvie, he showed a smiley face to her. He waved at her with a ruffian smile on his face. “Hi, Sylvie!”

Sylvie was obviously stunned, why would Ernie be here?

While Sylvie was puzzled, Ernie had got off his car and walked towards her. Sylvie was sure that he was here for her.

She was standing there and Ernie walked towards her closer with a evil smile on his face,“Hi, Sylvie, I am looking for you to go for dinner. Is it alright for you?”
