A Moment in Destiny

Vincent White looked at her and did not express anything on his face. “Let’s go to eat now!”

The woman grabbed Vincent’s arm and went back to the dining table. Vincent inadvertently looked at Leila Hunter who had already seated. Meanwhile, Callum West was helping her to get some food. “Leila, you need to eat more since you are too skinny!”

Vincent noticed her facial expression with his sharp eyes.

Leila lowered her head habitually but she still felt Vincent’s scorching eyes that were coming from a distance.

“Thank you. I can do it myself!” said Leila. She did not eat the food given by Callum but picked up other food by herself.

“Can you give me some food too!” Renee Byrne noticed that Callum was embarrassed so he said it immediately.

“Alright!” Callum helped Renee to get some food.

“Leila, I heard that you are married? Is it real that your husband is a group’s director?” Meanwhile, Renee asked suddenly.

Leila was stunned and the men sitting at the next table were stunned too.

“Leila, have you married for real?” Callum put down the chopsticks and his eyes were gloomy.

“This crab is really good, you all should give it a try.” Leila did not answer the question but changed the subject.

She could feel the attention from all the directions where the people around were staring at her as if they wanted to know her thoughts. She did not like to become the focus and be stared at by others especially when things came to personal matters.

Leila started to put down the chopsticks and pried open the crab shells with her hands.

“Let’s eat. It is really good. The crab is fleshy and tender!” Callum knew that Leila did not want to speak more about that so he did not ask continuously but just smiled elegantly.

Renee said, “If it were me, I will definitely look for a rich bachelor so I can rely on him for the whole lifetime. There is no need for me to work and sleep until I wake up naturally. After that, I can do facials and go shopping too. What a pleasant day like that!”

“You? Impossible!” Callum sneered at him.

“Callum, do not underestimate others!” Renee said it powerfully.

Leila smiled and did not say anything. Without noticing, she saw Vincent then felt worried in her inner side so she pulled the crab forcefully by accident. At that moment, the crab’s leg was pierced into her delicate skin.

“Ah!”

“Ah! Wound!” Callum immediately held her hands and asked, “Why are you so careless, are you fine?”

While saying, he helped Leila to wipe away the blood with a piece of tissue.

“Oh my god! This meal causes your bleeding, are you alright?” said Renee.
