A Moment in Destiny

Leila felt extremely nervous because Arthur didn’t hesitate at all. He just stared at her with a smile on his mouth corners, looking quite indifferent as if everything was under the control by himself.

‘Gosh! What if he really buys it out and gives it to me a gift?’ she thought to herself.

Leila frowned deeply, her expression stiffened and sweat oozing in her palms.

At this moment, his lips were curled up into a slight smile as if he was trying his best to suppress the amusement.

As if she was facing death, Leila watched the saleslady go to inform the store owner. Finally, she couldn’t stand it any longer. “Ah--” she screamed, shocking everyone in the store.

“Arthur Lane! You lunatic!” After the exclaim, Leila glared at him. “You are not nuts, but I am. Please let go of me. I’m in a hurry. If I can’t make it at six o’clock, I’ll be late.”

“I’m also in a hurry to do something. It’s still early,” said Arthur with a smile, “Don’t you like it? Since you’ve said it, I should give it to you as a gift, shouldn’t I?”

Leila felt that she was almost out of her mind. She suddenly struggled and broke free from Arthur’s grip. Then she hopped away from him. “Please don’t believe what he said. He just came out from the mental hospital.”

After finishing her words, she ran out of the store awkwardly with a blushed face.

She felt extremely embarrassed.

“Hey! Wait!” Arthur strode over and chased after her.

Leila started running in fear.

“I said wait! Who is the lunatic? Haha haha...” He seemed to laugh so happily.

Leila believed that he was indeed out of his mind -- she called him a lunatic but he was still so happily laughing. She frowned, feeling annoyed. Although it was her fault to call him a lunatic if she didn’t say that just now, she wouldn’t be able to get out of the trouble while being pestering by him just now.

“Lexi, if you don’t stop, you can’t blame me for being rude!” On the street, Arthur yelled at her, ignoring the gazes from the passers-by. “Lexi, if you keep running, I’ll kiss you!”

She would be too stupid if she stopped. Leila trotted in a hurry and wanted to escape from here. The man was nuts, indeed a lunatic. Covering her ears, she was running fast.

However, when Arthur noticed that she was going to escape for real, he immediately strode to chase after her. Soon, Leila was caught up with. “I’ve told you on to run away. Stop! Haven’t you heard me? I’ll kiss you for real!”

“What the heck do you want?” Leila was so annoyed by him.

Arthur pressed his lips, his eyes full of amusement. “I’m quite bored recently and I didn’t have much fun. I just wanted to have some fun.”

“Ah?” She hadn’t understood what he meant yet. He added with an evil smile, “I wasn’t asking you to marry me. Just a gift. Don’t you like it?”

Leila shook her head so hard. She pleaded, “No, I don’t. Not at all... Even if you want to have some fun, you can’t do that. If you are too idle, you should go to the retirement home to take care of the elderly. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it and it’s quite meaningful.”

“Really?” Arthur raised his eyebrows as if he had something on his mind. “All right. When shall we go? How about this weekend?”
