A Moment in Destiny

It was the first time for Elijah to see her being timid. Her head dropped on her chest. He did not know what had happened. When he wanted to ask, his phone suddenly rang.

“Hello!” Elijah said.

“Elijah! Don’t let Esther come to the charity anymore, Lilah let Esther watch pornography!” Ethel confessed through the phone. “Look after my sister, don’t let her learn something bad!”

Elijah was startled, he subconsciously looked at Esther. No wonder she was being timid and panting, so it was what it was! ...

(Nothing to be described) ...

It was half past six in the evening.

Elijah brought Esther to D University. The car was parked in front of the design building, “I’ll wait for you here, come down right after you finish your class!”

“But it would be around one and a half hour! It would be 8.30 p.m. by the time I finish!” Did he mean that he was going to keep waiting?

“I’ll wait for you!” He replied. “Just go!”

“Okay!” Esther got out of the car quietly. She turned around and looked at Elijah. He was back to being cold as if he was just doing it for her.

She pouted, “Do you have anything to say?”

He looked at her, the sky was a little dark. Then he said, “Come here!”

He stretched out his hand and grabbed her head. He kissed her tiny lips. “You’re my woman! That’s what I want to say!”

Esther blushed and rubbed her nose. “I know!”

Then, she turned around and happily walked to the class.

She was feeling relaxed and her steps did not seem to be heavy, she walked gently into the elevator while humming.

Elijah kept waiting outside of the building, Esther could only get out of class at 8.30 p.m. He kept waiting but he felt extremely happy.

His phone rang, he took out and answered the phone coldly, “Say it!”

“Young master! The investigation shows that Philip is the recent real estate developer tycoon in Q City. New City Properties was established two years ago. Within two years, it was now the largest real estate company in Q City. With the support of the government, they managed to take over all government projects. According to other resources, he was in the United States for seven years then he went to study International Finance course at Harvard University. He also obtained a double bachelor’s degree in both Business Administration and Financial Engineering within four years. As you were doubting about his other identity, the investigation did not manage to find anything else! He changed his name to Philip when he immigrated illegally into the United States. We don’t know his previous name; I believe that there was someone who destroyed all his previous data on purpose!”

“Okay!” Elijah replied coldly. “Continue to follow his whereabouts!”

“Yes!”

The phone was hung up.

Elijah took out another phone, which seemed like a special communication tool. He dialed an international number, “It’s me!”

There was laughter with a hint of crack jokes coming out from the phone, “Little punk, what make you think of me?”

“Does Philip Howlden work for you?” Elijah asked directly.

“Uh! Philip Howlden? Philip! Little punk, how could I know Philip? Who’s Philip? It should be nighttime on your side, right? You call me at night just to ask about Philip?” The voice from the other side sounded very dissatisfied. “Why should I tell you?”

“If you don’t know him and if I hurt him, you should not blame me then!” Elijah’s eyes were bright and shiny, he asked coldly, “Are you sure you don’t know who he is?”

“Hurt him? Hahaha... Elijah, you might be no match for him!” There was arrogant laughter coming from the phone. “Philip is not worse than you!”
