A Moment in Destiny

Vincent was at a loss. Did he say anything wrong? Or was she just taking advantage of his weakness? How could she ignore his gift like that? Damn, was he just too gentle with her which then gave her the impression she could treat him this way?

Suddenly feeling irritated, Vincent lit a cigarette and breathed out some white smoke. He thought this would calm him down but instead, it made him more irritated, so he stood up suddenly and walked out.

When he reached the door, he heard the sound of slamming a door which made him then walk quickly towards the guest room. He wanted to push the door to open it. However, his hand stopped when he reached the door, and he thought what was he doing?

To ingratiate himself with her?

Why should he?

He pursed his lips and his face turned gloomy. He then turned around and walked towards the study.

As soon as Leila had entered the room, she buried her body inside her blanket, feeling upset. What was wrong with her?

That was the first time he had given her a gift, and it was such a beautiful laptop that she had always dreamed of, but she rejected it. However, sometimes a person’s self-respect and pride were the most important things.

In the morning.

Leila woke up early in the morning and opened her door at the same time that the master bedroom door was opened.

In the corridor, the two of them were taken aback when they saw each other.

Vincent snorted coldly. Obviously, he was still angry.

Leila was quite nervous. She said quietly, “Good morning!”

His expression was sharp with his lips tight together, and as he glanced intensely at her he walked over to her with a steady pace.

Leila felt a little nervous and didn’t know what to say so she just stood frozen by the door. As she peeked at him cautiously, she saw that he was frowning and looking quite sad.

However, she then heard his low and deep voice from above her that said, “I asked someone to throw the computer at your school away overnight.”

Humph!

She didn’t need this one anymore.

“What?” Leila’s eyes opened wide in surprise.

“It was thrown away.” He said, seemingly quite proud. “Yesterday.”

“You, how could you do that?” She was finding it hard to believe and began to tremble all over. How could he be so impudent like this? “But that was mine, how could you do that?”

Leila pushed him strongly and ran away. She was still wondering how could he do that?
