A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 236 Misunderstanding

“I see that you like my hugs.” They fell onto the ground after Julian caught Leila who was falling into his arms. He smiled maliciously and was touching her waist with his large hands, as if he was assessing her, “I see this is how it feels to lightly grip somebody.”

“Julian, you!” growled Leila as she fell onto his big and wide chest.

Her face was twisted. The door suddenly opened as she was about to get up.

“Eh, well,” Director Gordon froze up as he walked into the room, seeing Leila lying on top of Julian. He quickly slammed the door to hide this awkward situation.

Leila struggled to get up as Julian wasn’t keen on letting her go. He continued yanking on her clothes. Director Gordon couldn’t see what Julian was doing behind Leila. He was shocked seeing that Brian’s daughter was riding her son and got angry from embarrassment, “What are you guys doing? Get up this instant!”

Director Gordon growled. How could Brian’s daughter act so shamelessly, doing something like this with his son in the office in broad daylight? If this were to get out, his name in the city hall would be sullied!

“Julian, let go!” Leila’s face was twisted. She gritted her teeth as she realized that this ill-natured man was doing this to her on purpose.

“Haha!” Julian finally let go. He said as he helped Leila up, “Dad, it’s just a misunderstanding. We ran into each other accidentally and fell! And I was being a gentleman, cushioning her fall!”

Director Gordon sat down at his table at the back of the office. He looked displeased, but Leila was Brian’s daughter and hence he couldn’t say much. He then said in a low voice, “Leila, are you reporting in today?”

“Yes, Director Gordon!” Leila knew that Director Gordon was looking at her mockingly with disdain after witnessing what happened just now.

Leila sighed deeply inside. She then glanced at Julian who was behind her and rolled her eyes at him as a warning.

It was all his fault. It was his fault that she couldn’t say anything. Director Gordon probably misunderstood her because of that.

And she wasn’t even given a chance to explain herself.

“Julian, get out!” said Director Gordon in a low voice.

“About my case…” said Julian.

“Get out!” repeated Director Gordon as he interrupted his son.

“I won’t go out if you don’t promise me that!” Julian sat on the sofa and wasn’t going to leave.

Director Gordon stood up, “Leila, I’ll bring you to my office and we’ll have you familiarize yourself with the working environment!”

“Yes!” Leila nodded.

And they left the room. Julian was left all alone. He then ran out and yelled behind them, “Dad, how could you? This is not how it should be?”

Director Gordon didn’t even look back and Julian could only stare at their backs as they walked away.

Even though he was surprised by what happened just now, Director Gordon quickly regained his composure. He introduced Leila to the other employees enthusiastically, “Renee, this is Leila. She’s

going to be your working partner. Do cooperate nicely and teach her about the basic working procedures.”

In the external liaisons office, a woman who was in her mid-20s stood up and bowed slightly as she said, “Yes, sir!”

“Leila, refer yourself to her if there’s something you are unclear about. Tell me directly if there are any complications. I’m heading back, you guys can talk,” said Director Gordon as he left with a smile on his face.

Leila sat down opposite Renee and smiled at her.

As soon as the director left, Renee tried to kiss ass, “So, I heard that you are Mr. Hunter’s daughter?”

“Erm!” Leila was taken aback. She smiled and didn’t respond.

Renee shrugged, “I know that kids with parents of statuses don’t like to talk with peasants like us. But it’s okay, I’ll still tell you everything I know about our work. So, our job is to study overseas Chinese affairs and propose suitable policies. We also overlook the networking and services for overseas Chinese, people of Hong Kong and Macau, and other associations. We are also responsible for the affairs with Taiwan and we review and approve the overseas Chinese’s international networking events that are held in this province. Isn’t it interesting?”

“It is!” Leila thought that Renee was a nice and straight-forward person.

It was her first day at work and she didn’t have much to do. She was looking at important news online and was analyzing the important reports, studying foreign affairs.

She would get off work at five and this would be her work from now on. She would be working here after she graduated. 5 days had passed in a blink of an eye, she wondered if Vincent would ever come

back.

She felt depressed at the thought.

As she walked out of the government office building, she heard someone calling out her name, “Leila!”

Bystanders were staring because of Julian’s loud voice. Leila didn’t want to interact with him. But because of Director Gordon, she could not be rough with him. And she was still mad about the incident today which caused Director Gordon to misunderstand her.

Leila ignored him and continued walking forward.

“Hey, Leila!” yelled Julian as he walked over, “Are you still mad? How about I treat you to a meal? I was just pulling your leg in the morning, don’t be so petty!”

“I’m not free!” Leila rejected him. She pondered briefly and said harshly, “Why did you me dirty like that? I don’t even know you!”

“Erm! I was really just playing around because you won’t tell me your name!”

“Well, I’m going home!” Leila rejected him again.

“Could it be that you think I want to court you?” said Julian as he laughed.

Seeing the faint smile on Julian’s face, Leila tried to calm herself down and said indifferently, “I’m not that much of a narcissist, but I hope that you’ll leave me alone!”

“Well, then the misunderstanding is cleared up. Let’s go have a meal!” Julian said excitedly as he yanked Leila’s hand.

Leila was scared by his sudden action, why was he pulling her around in public like that? “Hey, let go. Have some decency.”

“I’ll treat you to a meal as an apology!” Julian tried to make himself sound more serious, “Give me a chance!”

“No!” said Leila as she tried to yank her hand away. But Julian wasn’t letting her go.

They didn’t notice that not far behind them, a Bugatti parked by the roadside. A tall young man in a suit got out of the car. He smiled viciously at Julian and Leila and said in a low voice, “Leila!”

Leila who was struggling to make Julian let her go was shocked upon hearing Vincent’s voice. She looked behind Julian and it was indeed Vincent. What was he doing here?

Vincent smiled brightly but there was anger in his eyes. His smile was dazzling, he relaxed his clenched fist and walked towards Leila. He grabbed her arm and managed to get her out of Julian’s grip.

Leila was afraid of Vincent, but she still stood close to him for dependence. She thought that Julian was much scarier than Vincent. Maybe she was hallucinating, but in her mind, Vincent was still the Vincent from a few years ago who would smile brightly.

Vincent was content with her reaction, he tightened his clasp and put Leila under his arms. He then turned around and looked at Julian.

Julian was shocked when he saw Vincent. He froze up and stared blankly at him, but soon after he broke into a bright smile and said, “Vincent, long time no see!”

He knew him?!

Leila didn’t think that Julian would know Vincent. How did they get to know each other?

Vincent smiled at Julian as he arched his eyebrow, “It’s you?”

Vincent wasn’t hiding his oppressing aura as he looked at Julian. Julian smiled and said, “Yeah, it’s me!”

Vincent’s eyes flickered. He then looked at Leila and stared at her black hair. Her hair was tied up into a bun with a hair stick, it was elegant and not gaudy. She looked wildly gorgeous and her dark grey suit made her looked dignified and serene. She was so very attractive. Her outfit for her first day at work wasn’t any different from the other women working in the office. A dull outfit, but it looked charming on her…

Leila’s hand was hurting from Vincent’s grip.

“Leila, let’s go home!” Vincent wasn’t planning to say anything else to Julian. He led Leila to his car.

Surprisingly, Julian didn’t say anything as well. He turned around and looked in their direction. Without looking closely, one couldn’t tell if Julian’s gaze was locked onto Vincent or Leila. His gaze turned more and more profound as the two slowly disappeared from his sight. The flicker of heated emotions in his eyes that was on and off was hidden behind his glasses.

Leila got onto Vincent’s car and Vincent was silent.

Leila felt nervous, but she stayed quiet as well. She didn’t think that he would be here.

It had been five days. And the first thing he saw was she messing around with some unknown young man in front of the government building!

The veins on Vincent’s hand were popping out as he held onto the steering wheel. A burning rage could also be seen in his eyes.

“Vincent, you’re, you’re back from your business trip!” Leila tried to liven up the atmosphere.

“I see that you’re having fun without me around?” said Vincent slowly. Every word was mixed with the intention to kill.

Leila was terrified after hearing him. She couldn’t even say things properly, “I…”

“What? Cat got your tongue?” Vincent sounded a bit annoyed.

Leila didn’t want to push her luck. Suddenly, her phone rang. She glanced at her phone and noticed that it was her mother. She glanced at Vincent subconsciously.

“You’re not taking it?” He raised his eyebrow.

Leila had no choice but to answer the call, “Hey mom!”

“Leila, Vincent called me. I told him that it was your first day at work and he said that he would go and get you. Is he there yet?”

“Yeah!” No wonder he knew where she was working, he called home. “I, we are together right now, mom!”

“Get home soon, newlyweds. Mom will hang up the call now! Be nice to Vincent, I really hope that you guys will be happy!” Her mom hung up the call after bombarding her with words. Leila didn’t even stand a chance to say anything.

The phone call was rather loud. Vincent could tell that it was Marbel’s voice and he smiled slightly. His eyes were gleaming, and they were glistening.

Leila held her phone sulkily, she was thinking about what to do next!

“What do you want to eat?” Vincent asked.

“Erm! Anything’s fine!”

“Give me a concrete answer!”

“Well, I don’t know!” Leila didn’t have much appetite. She didn’t forget what he said before he left. After 5 days, he would be doing that to her. And she didn’t know how to deal with it?!

“Well, if you’re not hungry, we’ll go on the bed immediately when we get home,” said Vincent abruptly. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

At the same time, Leila said, “I want to have some seafood!”
