A Moment in Destiny

“Callum!” yelled Renee, “Your brother could be any type of doctor he wanted to be, why did he choose to be a gynaecologist? It’s so indecent. You’re indecent too! Our menstrual cramps have nothing to do with you, why are you here discussing it with us?”

“Well!” Callum was speechless and he gulped, but he was not going to be outdone, “I’m just caring about you?!”

“Leave your love and care for your future wife! We don’t need your care!”

“Why are you like this, I’m just worried about you!”

Leila felt awkward, but she shook her head hearing them bickering. She walked away to wash her cup.

Callum and Renee bickered for the longest time in the office.

Leila came back to the office after making tea and they were still at it. They were initially arguing about menstrual cramps and they were now arguing about how Renee couldn’t get a boyfriend. If this continued, they would probably start arguing about the moon and there would be no end to this.

“Have some tea, you two! The teas are ready!” Leila interrupted them.

“Oh, thank you! I’m not going to argue with you anymore, just for Leila. Renee, you should be more like Renee. Look at her, she’s cute and nice. You’re just a crazy woman in comparison!”

“What?!” Renee rolled her eyes, “Look at yourself in the mirror! You’re like a smouldering ember! A freaking weirdo!”

“Hmph! The tea is so fragrant. Leila, you’re so good at making tea. The water you used was about 80 degrees Celsius, am I right? The tea will have a beautiful shade of green when the correct temperature is used!”

“Yes, I did!” Leila nodded.

“Leila, let me know if you still need to see a gynaecologist. I’m going back to work!”

Leila’s face turned red, she smiled and said, “Thank you, but…”

Before she could even finish her sentence, her smile froze when she saw a person with a large figure standing by the door. It was Vincent.

Vincent stood by the door and glanced at Callum and Renee. His gaze stopped on Callum for a bit. He seemed to see him as an enemy and there was anger in his eyes.

Leila was stunned, should she say hi?

But why was he here?

As she was hesitating, she heard Director Gordon’s friendly voice, “Ah! Mr. White, what brings you here? I was just talking about the event you sponsored last time, it was very successful. Speak of the devil!”

Vincent turned around and looked at Director Gordon. He reached out his hand and smiled as he shook Director Gordon’s hand, “I was looking for you. I didn’t know which was your office and was going to ask around. And you appeared! Great mind thinks alike!”

“Haha, that’s true! Great mind thinks alike! Come! Let’s go to my office!” Director Gordon then led Vincent to his room.

Vincent glanced at Leila when he passed her by. It seemed unintentional but at the same time, it looked like he was warning her about something. Leila felt a shiver down her spine.

“Wasn’t that Vincent White? He is the president of the White Group!” Callum blinked several times as he glanced out the door.

“We know! We are not so stupid!” Renee rolled her eyes at Callum. “If you’re done, could you please leave the female area in the office, since you are a male?”
