A Moment in Destiny

“Release me, mister!” Sherry yanked back her arm and said, “I said that it’s alright. I’m going to be late, I’m sorry!” She continued to flag for the second taxi.

“Where are you going? I’ll send you. Consider it as compensation for dirtying your clothes. I don’t like to be indebted to anyone!” The man insisted.

“Ah! No need! It’s alright.” Sherry said and looked at the man, “Mister, I’m really going to be late soon. I’m sorry!”

“Then let’s go!” The man insisted and held onto Sherry’s hand again. He led her to the Bugatti and said, “I’ll send you!”

He shoved Sherry into the front passenger seat as she looked helplessly at him and pondered how could this man be so demanding? He was as demanding as William!

She felt amused and said, “Mister, you really don’t have to send me. I’ll take a cab!”

“Quiet!” The man said calmly, started the car, and asked, “Put on your seatbelt. Where do you want to go?”

She was helpless and could only tell him the company’s address. This man was frighteningly demanding! At this moment, she received a message.

Sherry held onto her cellphone tightly as if she was trying to get some comfort from the phone. She looked at the message and it read: Sherry, why didn’t you reply to my message? I’m worried about you! Are you at the office yet? Reply to me once you are at the office! Kisses, my precious…

She was stunned and blushed for a moment. She quickly replied.

Sherry: I’ll arrive soon!

She then looked at him who also turned to look at her. His pair of stern and deep eyes glanced chillingly at Sherry.

She unconsciously shivered and said, “Thanks, Mister.”

The driver of the Bugatti was high and lofty. What kind of apology was this? Was this goodwill for him to send her to the office? She felt as though she was sitting in an enemy’s car.

“Your name!” The man suddenly asked.

“Oh?” Sherry was startled and answered cautiously, “We’re just a chance encounter. There’s no need for you to know my name. Thanks, Mister for sending me to work!”

The man raised his eyebrows and scoffed which made Sherry feel very uncomfortable.

The two of them remained silent till they reached the office. Once the car stopped, Sherry removed the seat belt and said politely, “Thanks, Mister!”

Sherry was stunned that the man drove into the company basement garage and parked the car.

“Sherry, you know Reggie Kelly?” Keegan Fox just arrived and saw that Sherry’s jacket was soiled and looked at Reggie who was walking over. He was surprised as he just saw Sherry exiting from Reggie’s car.

“Reggie?” Sherry was stunned and pointed to that man, “Do you know that man?”

“Yeah, an old friend. We’ve done some business in the past!” Keegan then said to that man as he walked over, “Reggie, when did you come back to the country?”
