A Moment in Destiny

Theodore fell into the silence for a long while. Then he nodded. “Sure! Please go ahead.”

Leila turned around and left the office.

Walking out of Theodore’s office, she received a call from Arthur. “Hey, Lexi. Where are you? Shall we lunch together? You ruthless girl. I almost died because of you. How could you have the heart not to see me for just once?”

Upon hearing his complaints, Leila pressed her lips into a smile. “I’m sorry. I’m in my university now. I won’t go to the gym this afternoon and I don’t have time at noon either. I’m terribly sorry, Arthur. Well, I didn’t have diarrhea though. Was it caused by something you ate somewhere else?”

She had adjusted her taekwondo class time to this noon and she was going to the gym now, but she didn’t want Arthur to know it.

“What? Won’t you go there? Why? From whom did you learn such a skill?”

“Haha... I asked for one-day off today. I have something to deal with at home.”

“Oh, I see. I’ll have lunch by myself, then.” Arthur sounded quite weakened.

Leila shook her head in amusement and hung up the phone.

She put the pile of materials into her bag, heaving a sigh.

It was so attractive for her when thinking about studying overseas. She wondered if she should go.

At noon, after the class in the gym, Leila put the materials back in Pearl Community. Then she received a call from Vincent’s driver. They made an appointment to meet at four o’clock in the afternoon outside the community.

White Group.

“Mr. White, a gentleman with the surname Gordon wants to meet you.” The secretary’s voice came over from the internal line.

Vincent creased his eyebrows slightly. “Let him come in.”

“Yes, Mr. White.”

Shortly, Julian arrived in Vincent’s office. Clara knocked at the door of the CEO’s office with him behind her. Vincent’s voice came from the inside: “Come in, please.”

Julian took a deep breath, pushed the door open, and walked in.

Vincent was sitting in the big office chair, raising his chin slightly. “Please have a seat.”

Julian walked over to sit on the sofa.

“Clara, please
