A Moment in Destiny

Her figure looked extraordinarily lonely. Under the shroud of night, she was wearing a sweatshirt and walking slowly with her hands around her shoulders, like a homeless child, looking so pitiful.

Arthur thought he had seen the wrong person! He didn't expect it to really be Leila.

He stopped the car, slid down the window, and shouted in a deep voice, "Leila?"

Leila paused for a moment when she heard someone seemingly calling her. Turning her head, she saw a Ferrari parked beside her. In the dim light of the street lamp, Arthur's face was blurred, but she could be sure that the person was Arthur.

"Leila, it's really you!" Arthur opened the car door, got out of the car, walked up to Leila, and was stunned to see her panicked and evasive face. "You're crying?"

Leila lowered her head and shook it, but her voice was choked with sobs. "Arthur, what a coincidence. What are you doing wandering the streets in the middle of the night without sleeping?"

She pretended to joke in a light-hearted manner, deliberately making her tone brisker, but her voice still choked.

Arthur frowned, grabbed her hand, and dragged her into the car. "Let's go, nobody's taking you in again, right? If you don't have anywhere to go, you can go to my place, why treat me like an outsider! Why didn't you call me?"

Tears, instantly, rolled down her face.

Leila bit her lips, not wanting to shed tears because of such warm words, but she still felt moved!

She let Arthur drag her into his car and he took out a tissue to her. "The wind is quite strong and its blowing makes one prone to tears. It's okay, and it happens to me as well! Next time let's wear a pair of glasses out to block the wind and we won't be in such a mess!"

He was giving her an out, Leila was grateful in her heart and wiped away her tears. "Thank you, can you drive me to the Pearl Community? By the way, help me smash the door, I forgot the key!"

"Uh!" Arthur raised an eyebrow. "If I break down the door in the middle of the night, you won't be able to sleep. Besides, there's no locksmith at this hour, so you'd better come with me to my house. But don't worry, I'll take you somewhere else this time, not the sea view suite again, and I won't let anyone take pictures and misunderstand that I'm having an affair with you."

Leila giggled as she listened to his words. "I'm sorry for causing you trouble!"

Arthur knew she was talking about their last scandal and laughed lightly, "That was no trouble at all, and it was just the heroine changing her name. Don't worry. I often appear in scandals. It's strange if I don't have scandals! Let's go!"

Arthur's handsome face reflected a warm glow, and Leila nodded gently, sighed with feeling. "You are a good man, and your good intentions will be rewarded!"

"Haha...I'm a good man?" Arthur laughed, as if he had heard a big joke.

Leila didn't know what he was laughing at, but seeing that he seemed extremely happy, she smiled back. She sniffled and felt much better. It was good to have friends.

Arthur took Leila to an equally high-end apartment not far from Diorama, which was also close to the White Group.

However, there was only one bedroom. Arthur took the quilt out and said to Leila, "Tonight you'll sleep in my bedroom and I'll sleep on the couch. If you don't mind, I have some brand new pajamas in the third drawer of the closet, and you can change into them!"

"No! I'll sit on the couch all night, and tomorrow when the locksmith is at work, I'll go back and unlock the door!"
