A Moment in Destiny

Unable to open the door, Esther said sarcastically, "Is it funny? The President imprisons a little girl. How will people think about you!"

"I don't care what people say. "Elijah gave her a long searching look. "What do you think about my offer?"

Hearing what he said, Esther looked down. "I won't be your woman. The person I love is Hudson. I only love him all my life. I've loved him for ten years and I've lived with him since I was seven years old. He is the closest person in the world. I thought he would marry me, but if he married your sister, I won't stood in the way of her happiness. But can you respect me? I'm not a cheap woman. Even if I have nothing, I'm a person with dignity! "

Elijah still fixed his eyes on her, lost for words.

"Open the door!" She looked at him.

Elijah eyes fell on her face. He stood up with one hand in his pocket, walked to the door and opened the door. He was as domineering as a king.

Not daring to look at him, Esther hurried out for fear that he would regret it.

Elijah looked at her back with narrowed eyes. There were no complex emotions in his eyes. He went back to his desk and dialed the phone. "Send two people to protect Miss Price. Make sure she is fine!"

Then, he went to the French window again, lit a cigarette and began to smoke...

Esther spent a long time looking through the newspaper in order to find a suitable job, but she failed. The minimum requirement for a job in the newspaper was a bachelor's degree, but she had no qualifications.

Turning around, she found that there seemed to be someone watching behind her. She wondered if Hudson sent someone to protect her.

She took a few steps as she didn't like to be followed, but the people behind her also did as she did.

Esther was startled. She took out the phone and dialed to Hudson. At the moment when the phone was connected, her heart also jumped rapidly. She was afraid of hearing his voice and that she would cry.

"Hello, Esther?" Hudson's voice was very low and cold.

Esther could feel his coldness from his voice. Yes, he saw what she did in the bathroom with Elijah last night, and his attitude had changed.

"Hudson, don't send your men to follow me!"

"Where are you?" he asked.

"J Street, let them go back. I don't need to be followed!"

"Wait for me. I'm just at S Street!"

S Street was adjacent to J Street. Hudson turned the car around directly. He said in an urgent tone, "Don't hang up, Esther. They’re not sent by me. I'll pick you up. Maybe they’re some bad guys. Don't go to places with few people. I'll be there in a minute!"

"Not you?" Esther was astonished. "Thanks, Hudson. No need. I thought they were sent by you!"
