A Moment in Destiny

“You said too much already and in addition you kept on changing!” She wanted to say that he was fickle, but she was afraid that this word would provoke his anger again. So, she changed it to other words and said that he kept on changing. He could be like this now or like that later, she was very confused. “I'm sorry. I really don't know which sentence you said! This is what you ordered yesterday, the secretary guideline that I copied. President, please return my things to me now. I'm going to work!”

Marley looked at her coldly, but there was no joy or anger in his deep eyes. He stretched out his hand and took what she had copied. Then, he walked straight to the boss chair and sat down. He threw the brocade box into the drawer, made it very clear that he didn’t want to return to her.

“Since president likes this white jade bracelet so much, then I give it to you!” Sylvie didn’t say much. “Can I go out?”

“Go out then!” Marley said coldly.

Sylvie didn’t stay long. She turned around and left.

When Marley was the only one in the president’s office, he stared at the notebook blankly. That was a thick sketchbook. Her font was beautiful, clean, and tidy. She copied seriously without any perfunctory attitude.

He suddenly felt irritated when he saw these things. He took a cigarette, lit it up and started to smoke slowly.

The morning sun shone through the blinds and the tiny particles of smoke swirled in the light. The dazzling sunlight made people dizzy. The smoke was rendered by the sunlight, dyed into white and dazzling bright colours, dazzling people's eyes.

He lowered his head again and looked at her handwriting. He felt strong dizziness and he seemed to be able to see her figure which was writing the secretary guideline seriously. He could imagine how serious she was when she was writing.

She had no complaints!

She took everything seriously and accommodated his inexplicable anger!

She had a male friend who was close enough to live together. That male friend gave her the white jade bracelet. What was that man thinking? Was he thinking to ‘restraint’ her hand with the bracelet?

He suddenly remembered that sentence, “How to show our close relationship, only by the two bracelets on the wrist”!

In ancient times, the bracelet was considered as a token of love. This could be found in the traditional wedding customs in ancient China. After the Tang and Song Dynasties, there was once a rule of “no bracelets, no marriage”. At that time, the bracelet had been given many meanings. It represented constraint and loyalty in the marriage. The round shape meant the endless love that would last forever. It represented perfection, happiness and harmony in the marriage.

That man gave her the bracelet carefully, but not a ring, was he afraid of scaring her? Could this situation be considered as well-intentioned, right? And Sylvie, she was silly and didn’t seem to understand anything. She was still in a state of ignorance!

What about himself? He found that he was also in a state of ignorance. Everything seemed to be related to Sylvie. It seemed that she had disrupted his life.

He opened the drawer again and took out the white jade bracelet. He froze sitting on the seat. This was a good jade that was given by a man to her.

His heart felt even more cold when he touched the white jade bracelet which was cold too. A wave of irritation mixed with anger flooded on his mind. The bracelet in his hand seemed like a pair of eyes looking at him mockingly. It was desolate, cold and it exuded some weird light with sarcasm.

Uh!

What happened to him?

How could he be enamoured of Sylvie?! The person he loved had always been Jemima! Marley felt a throb in his heart when he thought of Jemima. This kind of pain tore his heart bit by bit. It was him, the person who let Jemima disappointed!
