A Moment in Destiny

“I’m waiting for you to hang up first!” Sherry said softly.

William smiled feeling touched and then gave a kiss to Sherry through the phone. He lowered his mouth close to the phone, which made it seem as if he was by her side, “I’m hanging up now!”

Sherry flushed red, “Alright!”

The call ended!

Alice walked in. “Mr. Rowland, it’s time!”

William put on a stern expression as he put down the phone; he was wearing a well ironed and neat grey suit.

He then said in a deep voice, “Have the files from the USB drive all been printed out?”

“Yes, according to what you requested, everyone has one sheet each!”

William nodded his head, “Good.”

Many reporters had come to the press conference, camera lights were flashing everywhere.

Along with the bright lights, a camera was then aimed at William as he entered the door. He calmly stepped onto the stage and then faced everyone as he said into the microphone, “Thank you all for taking the time to attend so late, I’m sure everyone must be wondering why the press conference is being held so late!”

As soon as he started speaking everyone below quieted down, the reporters then turned on their recorders and started to record.

“Here is the document that will be published in the newspaper tomorrow, now I believe that everyone will be feeling slightly confused if they haven’t received any follow up documents until now. But the Rowland Group has obtained the inside story that you need! If everyone has a look at the information then you can see that there is no substantial evidence or anything. Therefore you won’t have to pay a high price for this news, since I will be giving you this piece of news for free. In addition I invite you all too inspect the Rowland Group, since for the Rowland Group tax evasion is impossible and the Rowland Group will always respect that taxes must be paid.”

“Mr. Rowland, could you please explain why someone would slander the Rowland Group?” A reporter asked.

William gave a slight smiled and faced the camera calmly, “Because they were dissatisfied with the company reducing the staff numbers! She was fired and then naturally felt unhappy with this decision, since The Rowland Group did not take the time to consider this employee’s family reasons, and therefore I would like to apologize for the harm caused to those who had to be laid off.”

“Are we able to meet this person?”

“For the sake of protecting their privacy, I’m afraid not.”

“…”

When the press conference ended, William smiled at the camera politely and then walked out of the meeting calmly. Just as he had walked out of the building he came across Peter Mollison who was hurrying over.

William walked over to him, looked at him intently and said, “Peter, the press conference has just finished, do you want to go and get a drink with me?”

However witnessing such a scene is not something that we would have wanted; I mean she was still quite young after all. When she first met Lucille she was still just a young girl, still so cute, however in the blink of an eye she had already grown up.
