A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 767

Jemima Wallace looked at him, slightly nodded, didn’t bother to know what he wanted, only said, “I want Marley Hughes!”

“I appreciate your straightforwardness!” said Ernie Hughes while he proposed a toast.

Jemima also raised her cup, the two exchanged looks in agreement, each having their own plan.

Sylvie Mccarthy returned to her bedroom after her meal, despite having her clothes changed, she still felt sweaty and uncomfortable. She went to the bathroom, immersed herself in warm water, a sense of comfort surrounded her, and she fell asleep unconsciously.

Marley heard the sound of water gushing coming from the bathroom after he came back from washing the dishes. Initially, he sat on the sofa to read for a while, but after a couple minutes, Sylvie was still not out yet, he then waited for a little while longer but there still wasn't anyone nor any sounds, but the sound of water flowing.

Worriedly, he stood up, walked towards the bathroom, within the huge bathroom, warm water was dripping into the tub, causing it to overflow from the tub heading directly towards the drain.

Sylvie laid silently against the tub deeply asleep, her tiny face reddened due to the warmth of a hot shower.

Marley was amused, then leaned over after a faint smile, carried her out from the bathtub. He walked out of the bathroom after covering her with a towel, then placed her in bed.

The sound of birds chirping early in the morning filled the room, awakened those who were still asleep in bed.

Sylvie wiggled her body, found out that she could not move, and immediately she was fully awake, and what rushed into her nostrils was the unique breadth of Marley, surrounding her in his arms.

Sylvie suddenly opened her eyes, only then she found out that she was lying naked in Marley’s arms.

‘What is going on?’

‘Was I not in a shower? How did I get in bed?’

She calmed herself down from panicking, raised her head silently to look at his sleepy face, his eyebrows were really long, his nose was stiff and his lips were sexy as well.

She took a peek at the time, ‘It’s time to wake up!’

So she gently got off from bed, just when she was about to leave his arms, she was being held into his arms again, his arms around her while he was still asleep.

“Time to wake up!” she whispered.

Marley finally opened his eyes and said, “It’s still early, just sleep for a little while! ”

“I’ll go prepare breakfast, you sleep!”

“Let's have takeaway!” he said.

“Today I feel like heading back home to get my passport, I haven't gone there yet!” she said.

“I’ll drive you there at noon!” he said.

At the Hughes Group.

Early in the morning, Marley brought Sylvie to the company.

Sylvie went to the pantry room to make coffee.

In the meantime, Tyler Cooper came over. “President, I have an emergency!” he said.

“Yes!” Marley nodded, turned towards Maisy Hill, and said, “Hill, I am busy today, do not let anyone in without any appointments! Especially Ernie Hughes! Do not let him in, do you understand?” he said.

“Yes!” Maisy could only nod, thinking, ‘Am I even capable of stopping Mr. Ernie?’

Tyler followed Marley to the president’s office, he first gave Marley a funny stare and said,

“Last night was one hell of a fight huh! Still stayed there even after work!”

“It was okay!” Marley joked with a low voice.

“Do you need any supplements? You might get kidney deficiency if this goes on!”

“Why don’t you prepare for me?” Marley replied.

“Haha! You got laid indeed even you could take on jokes now, never thought how strong a woman’s charm could be, even Mr. Hughes learned how to joke! ”

“You could also find a woman to get laid as well!”

“Please don’t drag me in as well!” Tyler joked, “Back to business, the job that you assigned me, I passed it to someone to handle it already, however, it was too late, Bonnie Mccarthy has been taken away!”

“Who?” Marley replied in shock.

“I don’t know who it is!” Tyler shrugged. “I think we should just observe for now! If someone took a move, it’s not gonna be us, isn’t that better?”

“Fine!” Marley started to think. “Who would it be?”

“We will know who it is when the time comes, nothing stays hidden forever,” said Tyler with joy.

“Ok! Where was she taken to?”

“We lost them, they are too good at erasing their tracks, but don't worry, we will find them soon!”

“Vice president, Vice president, you are not allowed to enter at this moment, the President said that he is having an important meeting that no outsiders are allowed to,” Hill said helplessly.

Followed by that was a huge “Bam” sound, the office’s door was opened by force.

“President – I’m sorry, Vice president insisted on meeting you, I can’t hold him back—” Hill was so anxious that her sweat was almost dripping down. She nervously looked at Marley who was sitting on the president’s chair with Tyler right in front of him.

‘I’m done, am I going to be fired?’ she thought to herself with her eyes tightly closed, getting ready to be yelled at by Marley.

After having a clear image of the intruder, Marley calmly told Hill who was still shivering, “It’s fine, go on with your work!”

Hill raised her head sharply, ran out as fast as she could.

When the door was fully shut, she leaned against an office desk in exhaustion to take a deep breath.

“Marley Hughes, what is that supposed to mean?” questioned Ernie, who barged into the president's office in a rage.
