A Moment in Destiny

The second Vincent left, Pippa looked at Leila and seemed hesitant to speak. After a few seconds, she said “You’re the woman that Vincent brought to please me, so I brought you this dress. Do you have any idea why he won’t let you wear this yellow gown tonight?”

A hint of bitterness flashed across her eyes, but Leila managed to suppress it.

From Pippa’s tone, Leila felt as though she was nothing but a cheap servant next to Vincent, who was like a king. God knows she didn’t want to be with Vincent either. Leila replied, “Can I leave now?”

Pippa was slightly taken by surprise; she didn’t expect Leila would talk to herself in such a disdainful manner. For a woman who always held herself in high regards, Pippa suddenly laughed. “Hah! You’ve got spirit; I like that! You’re young, but you’ve got spirit. That’s cool!”

Leila was surprised herself. For some reason, her face quickly changed colors, like a chameleon.

She liked it? Leila smiled slightly. She didn’t need Pippa to like anything. All she wanted was to live a peaceful life, with her family happy. Then it’d all be OK.

“Vincent didn’t let you wear this yellow gown because he didn’t expect that you looked so good in it. He was surprised, and didn’t want to let other men see this beautiful side of you. He’s quite bossy, you know? This black dress is also quite luxurious, and you won’t be the focus of the crowd, so it suits you better. Plus, its matching bag, leggings, and shoes are all prepared too. Go on, take it!” Pippa said a mouthful that made Leila’s mouth slightly agape.

“What, don’t you believe me?” Pippa said.

Leila laughed at herself, “Ms. Murray, you misunderstood me. Mr. White doesn’t care what I wear! Thanks for your thoughtfulness. I’m leaving now!”

She picked up dress and turned to leave. Was there any woman Vincent actually cared about? Probably not!

“Hold on!” Pippa called out again.

Leila turned and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Vincent’s gone through a lot to get to where he is today. Lately, he’s been in a bad mood. I know it’s not easy being his woman, but I hope you can bear with him! Don’t let him get angry! He’s been in a bad mood, but he’s quite tired too.”

Leila smiled; bear with him? Hasn’t she bore with him enough yet? But what caused him to be so tired?

And what right did Pippa have to tell her all this?

Leila didn’t understand the meaning behind Pippa’s words, but she could tell that the relationship between Pippa and Vincent was not like that of a couple, but more like old friends. She said nothing, turned around, and headed out.

Pippa looked on as Leila left, and she was deep in thought.

It didn’t matter what kind of relationship the two of them had.
