A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 722

“Hum!” All she could do was to nod her head and there would never be a next time! She had to learn to protect herself now, otherwise it would only be too late to regret anything that happened and she must not let this happen again.

Marley started the car and drove off towards the city.

Sylvie sat there nervously as there was something wrong with the air flowing in the car. She peeked at Marley with some unease before asking cautiously, “How do you know I am taken out by him?”

Marley steered to the right and glanced at Sylvie before saying in a low voice, “It is Tyler who saw you getting into Ernie’s car and called me!”

Sylvie’s heart was warmed and then there was a strong apology, “I’m sorry!”

“Pay more attention next time!” He said. “Just stay away from him! He's not a good man.”

“Hum!” She nodded vigorously and asked again, “Where are we going now?”

“I’m still having a meeting with someone, so you just come with me!”

“Is it suitable for me to go?” She was a little nervous.

“Wait for me in the hall when you get there, I’ll have to talk to someone for a while and we’ll go home!” He said.

“Are you having dinner with someone?” Sylvie remembered that he said he wouldn’t go back for dinner this afternoon, but then he called her suddenly and rushed here because was he worried about what Ernie would do to her?

She didn’t know why she felt that Ernie wouldn’t really do anything. If he did, why did he say so many things? Wouldn’t it be more effective to just do it than to say anything? But he didn’t, what did he mean by teasing her? To test her or to provoke her? Or to provoke Marley?

“Yes!” His tone was calm.

“Then you just have your dinner with someone and I’ll wait for you!” She said obediently, it was better to behave honestly when she had made a mistake! “Don’t delay business!”

“It has already been delayed!” He frowned, forbidding her from saying more. “Shut up!”

Sylvie immediately pursed her lips and stopped talking.

When the car arrived at a hotel, Marley took her out of the car and went to the hotel lobby. The lady at the reception was extremely excited when seeing Marley, and then she was envious and jealous upon seeing Sylvie. Ignoring others’ sight, he told her, “Go and wait for me on the sofa over there, I’ll come out later and we’ll go together!”

“Alright!” Sylvie glanced at the lounge area, then walked over and sat down.

Meanwhile, a few reception ladies at the entrance lobby watched Marley’s figure disappear at the lift.

It was already dark outside, Sylvie looked down at her small hands and she was a little bored.

At this moment, the lobby turned a bit noisy and she followed up raising her gaze. Someone walked in under the enthusiastic admiration of the reception ladies. A tall man, with his meticulously ironed dark grey trousers, well-made metal belt buckles and the white shirt with dark patterns that was ironed neatly, together with his suit that was held on his wrist. He was in such a casual posture walking up with a smile and a tall beauty was beside him!

Sylvie was dumbfounded as the man was Ryan!

It was the first time she had seen Ryan dressed in this way and he looked like he was returning from a formal event.

Perhaps realising that there were eyes on him, Ryan then turned his head and saw Sylvie sitting on the sofa. He was stunned and he was walking towards her after saying something to the beauty beside him.

He walked towards her and when his footsteps stopped, he looked down at Sylvie who was sitting on the sofa with a smile on his face and Sylvie also raised her head to meet his deep black eyes where there was a smile inside.

“Ryan, what a coincidence!” Sylvie spoke first while returning a smile.

Ryan raised his eyebrows and then with a touch of doting flashed under his eyes as he spoke gently, “Sylvie, what are you doing here?”

“I’m waiting for someone!”

“Is it Marley?” Ryan asked with a raised eyebrow.

Sylvie nodded with surprise, “How do you know?”

“If it wasn’t him, would you be sitting here so quietly? Don’t you say it is a waste of time?”

Sylvie was stunned again and stared at Ryan for a while before she turned embarrassed, “It doesn’t mean that!”

“Silly girl, then what is that?” Ryan raised his eyebrows again.

“You are making fun of me!” Sylvie laughed.

Ryan walked over a little and reached out to rub her hair. “Are you learning to be shy now? Marley is really charming and he has actually made our Sylvie shy!”

“Ryan!” Sylvie whispered coyly!

Ryan withdrew his hand, “I won’t laugh at you!”

Sylvie looked up at him then looked at the beautiful woman in the lobby and raised her eyebrows just like him, “Ryan, are you trying to find a sister-in-law for me?”

Ryan just smiled with complexity in his eyes. He then bowed his head and whispered, “You can guess it!”

“So is that?” Sylvie’s eyes widened in surprise. “Ryan, do you change your sexual orientation?”

Ryan looked at her speechlessly, yet, he was a little helpless and dumbfounded. “My girl, don’t you think the same as your classmates that I am a gay?”
