A Moment in Destiny

"It was an accident!"

"Let me see!" He said and took off her sock.

Looking at the excessive large men's sock, Marley Hughes was annoyed, but he still forced to stay calm. He seemed to have become more and more moody those days, and it needed to be controlled! Today she suddenly left the company, he felt angry at first, and later he thought about it a lot. Maybe, they could get along better if they changed the way.

Helped her take off the socks, his heart hurt quite a bit when he saw the band-aid on the side of her left soft foot. But after making sure it was wrapped well, he relived a bit and said, "What happened?"

Didn’t she always twist her feet? How was the skin broken?

"I didn’t notice and got pricked by something." Her voice was low and she was very nervous. She wasn’t sure how he would punish her because of such dumb mistakes she made in the company.

He was stunned a bit – pricked?

He thought of the glass ashtray he smashed in the morning, was it because of the ashtray?

Marley thought, his eyebrows tightly frowned, his face was like a sculpture, and his action paused a bit and looked up at her, "It happened in the office?"

She was facing his handsome face, quickly nodded, and lowered her head.

He was taken aback and felt sorry for her. Reaching his hands and holding her foot, he checked thoroughly and asked, "Because of the ashtray?"

"Yes!" She nodded.

When his warm big hand held her little foot, Sylvie only felt all her blood rose to her forehead, and a numb feeling swept through her whole body. She was in panic and took a tremble to take back her foot, but he didn’t let it go.

"Doesn't it still hurt?" His tone with a hint of self-accusation. If he was not angry, he wouldn’t have had smashed the ashtray, so her foot should have not been hurt.

"You, you just let me know how you will punish me!" She wanted to know the result quickly, she needed time to prepare for it. It was her fault after all.

However, she didn't expect him to be soft and gentle, and he even checked her little foot, which freaked her out. Shouldn’t he be mad at her?

He heard her words in a sudden, he looked up speechless at her determined expression. His eyes seemed to flash a hidden smile.

One of his hands holding her feet, and another hand uplifted her chin, seeing her expression as she needed to die a martyr’s death, he thought – was it necessary to be so painful?

He said, "Sylvie, you are afraid of me to punish you?"

Afraid?

Sylvie swallowed slobber, she curled her lip with a self-mocking smile, but said calmly, "No! It was my fault and I accepted your punishment!"

Marley curled his lips in a suitable range, his low voice faintly said, "What if you won’t be punished?"
