A Moment in Destiny

Ethel froze when facing the accusation. “Well, little girl, how can I be blamed for this? Elijah is the one who has scandal with you, ok? Where do I mess with you?”

“Who asked you to leave halfway yesterday? I was almost trapped in the restaurant!” Esther was furious when she thought about yesterday’s joke of calling Elijah as her husband turned to a fact today.

“Well, I’m really sorry about yesterday as there was an emergency for me. I’ll repay you another day, by the way, what’s wrong with you? The reporter said that you and Elijah got married?” Ethel didn’t believe that it was true.

“It’s all scandal, scandal, do you understand?” Esther wouldn’t admit it as it was a forced marriage. She didn’t even go to the registration and she got the marriage certificate just like that, so it didn’t count! She wouldn’t admit it even if she died.

Ethel looked at her then looked at the large group of reporters that were blocked outside the lobby, “This story doesn’t seem groundless!”

“Ethel, it’s all because of you!” Esther couldn’t control herself cursing in a low voice.

“How did I mess with you again?” Ethel felt so wronged.

“Miss Price, the president wants you to go to his office on the eighty-eighth floor!” Meanwhile, the receptionist suddenly showed up in front of them.

“Me?” Esther pointed at herself. “How did he know I am here?”

“Yes, the president called and asked you to go up!”

“I’m not going!” Esther refused directly.

Both Ethel and Mrs. Tyson at the reception desk froze as she dared to go against the president’s order, did she know the consequences?

Esther looked at Mrs. Tyson’s puzzled eyes and only then she realized she had overreacted, after all, how could she disobey the president’s order. “Ooh…alright, thanks Mrs. Tyson, I’ll go right now!”

But inside her heart, she was cursing Elijah as she didn’t expect that he would know that she was here immediately.

“I’m going too!” Ethel was expecting something interesting.

“Let’s go together!” Both of them went into the lift.

When they reached the eighty-eighth floor, the secretary blocked two of them. “Mr. Kirby, the president said that he would only see Miss Price alone!”

“Why?” Ethel froze.

The secretary smiled faintly. “This is the president’s order!”

Esther shrugged her shoulders, “I’m going in!”

But when she walked to the entrance of the president’s office, she was stunned suddenly as her heart tightened until the door opened. A tall man grabbed and dragged her inside the room.

Ethel took the opportunity to shout, “Elijah, I’m here too!”

But the answer he got was a thud of the door closing.

The secretary smiled faintly, shrugged her shoulders, and returned to her place.

Ethel murmured. “Damn, he must have been fallen in love, this is real!”

Esther who was dragged inside the room was stunned as the tall figure with a familiar aura enveloped her. And fierce kisses made her breathe hard.

Elijah sniffed the fresh fragrance of her mouth, kissing her again and again. His breath hit her face. His eagerness and tenderness made Esther’s whole body tremble.
