A Moment in Destiny

"Sorry, I get inflamed and my throat is not feeling well. I have to defend my thesis on Monday, so I don't feel like talking right now!" Leila's calm voice didn't have much of a rise and fall. She glanced at Pippa as she spoke. For Pippa, her gut feeling was that she didn't like her. Leila rarely had that gut feeling, but she really didn't like the woman.

"Leila said she had to defend her thesis. If you guys have something to say, talk to me. I'm Leila's speaking agent now. Leila, can I speak for you?" Arthur asked Leila with a smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

Leila smiled and nodded. "Well, whatever!"

Seeing her smile at Arthur and treat him and Pippa with such indifference, Vincent's face turned cold. His icy aura sent chills down people's backs like they had seen a ghost.

A cold look crossed the corner of Leila's eyes and she ignored any expression he gave her. She didn't want to talk or pay any attention to him or Pippa.

The lamb was soon served up in large, well-cut chunks.

"Leila, eat quickly. When you're done eating, go back to rest early. Don't you have to defend your thesis? You rest early, conserve your strength and try to hit the ground running and graduate with distinction!"

"Yes!" Leila nodded and started eating.

It was really delicious. Maybe it was because she was so hungry, Leila actually felt that it tasted good. She wasn't in the best of moods, but with food on the table, she didn't want to maltreat her heart and then her stomach! Just eating the large piece of roasted lamb, she couldn't help but think of the lamb she had eaten at Reggie's estate in R City a few days ago, roasted by Vincent himself. Why were there memories everywhere? Why did she feel so heartbroken?

"Vincent, Pippa, why aren't you guys eating?"

Looking at Vincent's cold face, Arthur shrugged and started to eat first himself.

At that moment, Pippa's phone rang. She was shocked and stunned. Holding the phone, her whole body shuddered again when she saw the number on the screen.

Vincent's eyes tightened as he gazed at Pippa. "He's here?"

Pippa nodded. "I think so!"

"Give me the phone!" Vincent reached straight for Pippa's phone.

Leila bit her lip and ate. She ate quickly. She was really a little hungry and wanted to eat and leave immediately.

Vincent picked up the phone and took the answer button. "Miyamoto, it's me! Vincent!"
