A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 800

Sylvie Mccarthy stopped for a while, shook her head, and smiled. "I got it! Roger that!"  

After the meal, he tidied up everything, looked for a pair of slippers for her, considerately he took an entire bag of snacks and drinks.  

"Let’s go, we’re heading back to the office!" said Marley Hughes while holding her hand, he later opened the car door and helped her into the car.  

After waiting for him to enter the car, she tilted her head to look at him and asked, "You still need me to accompany you to work, does that mean that I still need to work too? My leave is not over yet!"   

"If you’re bored, you can read the documents with me, I will teach you some other stuff, right inside my office!" Said Marley as he held the steering wheel with both of his hands and accelerated.  

The car safely left the garage and drove towards other villas just around the corner.  

At the office, Marley entered the building while holding her wrist.  

Before then everyone was confused about Sylvie’s resignation, but when they saw the president enter the office holding hands with his wife, immediately they understood everything. Everything said in the newspaper was not true!  

In the lobby.  

Right on the couch of the reception room on the lower floor, sat an idle man, greeting them from a distance, "Good morning, my cousin and sister-in-law!" said Ernie Hughes.  

Ernie was casually dressed while crossing his long legs. He had a pair of bright eyes, even though he wasn’t looking at anyone, he still seemed to be giving eye contact to everyone. With a lazy look, slack attitude, and a slight sense of prestige, he was waiting for them!  

Sylvie was confused for a while, her hands were stiff.  

Marley sensed that she was feeling uneasy, deep down he still knew that Ernie was somehow affecting her, he then gently grabbed her hand and greeted Ernie calmly, "Good morning!"   

Marley walked with Sylvie into the elevator, Ernie also followed in.  

The elevator rose quite fast, Ernie gave her a dazzling smile that seemed to mean something and said, "Sister-in-law, you seemed to look better and better, did something good happen to you? Why don’t you share it with me so I can be happy too? "   

"You should just carry on with your work," Sylvie calmly replied.  

She was still afraid after being forcefully kissed by him last time, ‘What did he still want?’ she thought.  

Without any consideration, Ernie said, "Dear cousin, we seemed to have not had a meal together before, do you want to have lunch together this afternoon? The treat is on me, I don’t know whether the both of you are willing to join or not?"  

"No need, we are quite busy," said Marley coldly without waiting for her to reply.  

Ernie laughed cunningly, obviously not willing to give in, and said, "Is that so? Shall I just order delivery instead? You can have it in the office, you still need to eat no matter how busy you are, don't you?"  

Marley grabbed her by her waist and said coldly, "We are heading back home this morning, we don’t have time for lunch!"  

"Seems like the both of you are not willing to come, huh!" said Ernie.  

"Let’s just have lunch with him," she suddenly said.  

Marley looked at her in shock.  

Sylvie kindly looked at him and said, "Lunch is on Ernie anyways, wouldn’t it be a waste if we don’t go? "  

Marley admitted that he was being selfish, he didn’t want to have lunch with a person like his cousin, especially when his wife was along with him, no man would want to be on the same table as the man who spies on his wife!  

Ernie was a little disappointed when she said so, there was loneliness in his eyes "Are you scared, Marley?" he said.  

"Quit the aggressive method, those are useless against me" Marley calmly replied. "Since Sylvie is okay with it, so am I!" he said.  

He recalled when he had met Jemima Wallace yesterday, Marley was calm as well, probably, he might be able to find out the truth in no time if he continued to remain quiet, he was not someone who could be trampled on easily.  

"So that’s it, JR Hotel at noon!" said Ernie. Marley took a look at her once more as if he was asking her whether she was sure about this.  

Despite this, she only cuddled in his arms without looking at him.  

Marley gently took her by her waist, allowing her to lean against him, they were close to each other, he then lowered his head to look at her and asked softly, "Is it okay to be at JR Hotel?"  

"Yeah!" she nodded in approval, just like an obedient wife.  

The two exchanged looks in admiration, Ernie felt lonely after seeing them and self-deprecated.   

"If you two want to be mushy with each other, please don’t do it in front of me!"  

"No one asked you to follow us upstairs!" Marley mumbled, blaming him for interrupting the couple’s privacy.  

"The lift is a public space!" said Ernie in a playful manner as he moved his attention towards her.  

She saw him when she raised her head, in his eyes, there was an only coldness, but there was always this smile that’s hanging on his face, at one moment she was so confused about why she felt so troubled when he looked at her, it felt like an accuse or she was wronged, looking at her like a woman who had betrayed him, she knew there was nothing between her and him, they were only cousins, friends to be precise. She then thought of his domineering kiss, ‘What is your motive, Ernie Hughes?’ She thought.  

Soon, the elevator reached the bottom floor, Ernie left while saying, "See you later!"
