A Moment in Destiny

“What are you sorry for?” Ophelia patted Rae disapprovingly, “How our friendship could be ruined for a bad man, it’s not worth it! We don’t have to be polite to this bastard Reuben! I’ve known him well enough!”

“But you seem to be very afraid of him!” This was what Rae was worried about.

“That’s because I’m afraid that he’ll abuse me when I’m sleeping.” Ophelia blushed as she said, “You don’t know about this man, he’s so tactful. He’s a brute!”

Rae blushed. She was immediately alerted when she thought of both of them were still standing on the stairs, “Here’s not a good place to talk!”

“Yes! Let’s go down!” Ophelia pulled her hand and they went downstairs.

When they reached the seventh floor, a tall man was standing there. He raised his head and looked at them with his sharp eyes.

Rae and Ophelia were both startled, and their eyes widened at the same time.

“Reuben?” Ophelia subconsciously called out, “Aren’t you on the ninth floor?”

Reuben slowly raised his head. His sight swept over from Rae’s face to Ophelia’s face, paused for a while before returned to Rae’s face. He looked at Rae with an inscrutable look, and his tone sounded like that he was saying this to Rae purposely. “If I’m still on the ninth floor, how can I hide from those entertainment reporters? Not to mention hearing such a wonderful conversation!”

Rae was shocked, and her heart was beating so fast.

‘Does it mean that Reuben heard all the conversations?’

Rae thought this in her mind, but she soon dismissed this idea. He might not have heard all the conversations, and he should only hear a part of it.

However, a part of it was enough to terrify her.

Rueben was really scary. He came down to the seventh floor without being seen by anyone and blocked them here. They didn’t know how he got down as if he came out of nowhere.

“So what if you heard it?” Ophelia saw that Rae suddenly stopped talking, and she assumed that Rae was guilty. So, she spoke first to give Rae a break, so that Rae could deal with this sharp and fierce man later. “It's rude and immoral for you to eavesdrop. I can't imagine that the vice president of YS Club has such moral qualities and dares to show off!"

Although Ophelia’s tone was contemptuous, her heart trembled. However, Reuben didn’t care what Ophelia said, not even answering her words. He just narrowed his eyes and looked at Rae, giving an impression of being inscrutable.

Rae also didn’t answer Reuben’s words. In Rae’s opinion, the more she said, the more information would be revealed. Therefore, it was better to keep silent at this moment. She took Ophelia’s hand and said, “Ophelia, let’s go down. How was the situation with the fire now?!”

Ophelia nodded her head and prepared to go down.

Unexpectedly Reuben suddenly said, “Rae, I’ll go to your house to meet Leonard in these few days and talk about our engagement!”

Rae obviously froze, but she didn’t answer his words.

In these five years, Leonard hadn’t mentioned this engagement. So, Rae also didn’t know what was going on. She was stunned when she suddenly heard this news.
