A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 25: Follow Me

Sherry raised her head, her heart was startled the moment her eyes met with someone.

The atmosphere felt tense. The noisy crowd suddenly became silent as not a single person spoke anything.

Everyone held their breath. No one had seen such a man in a suit who appeared in Late Night Street. There were no words to describe about him. He was as handsome as a Satan when his eyes swept inadvertently. His mysterious eyes were like a fox’s and the vibe was indescribable which made people tremble all over.

The lip was tightened as the corner of the lips were slightly dropping. At the same time, it inadvertently brought out some sense of coldness. It felt like a leopard trying to invade its prey after locked down.

The man walked pass the crowds and walked towards Sherry.

After she was startled for a moment, she started to pack things quickly. When she was about to pick up the condom on top of the plastic bag in front of her but what caught her eyes was a pair of shiny leather shoes. It shined so bright even in the dark night.

As she raised her head, she saw his broad chest.

When she slowly raised her head, she started to look up at those cold eyes which had some sense of doubts.

"Excuse me, you just stepped on my thing! This is the latest edition, 9.90 yuan. Please pay me!" Sherry stretched out her hand calmly.

“Are you crazy?" He was still so arrogant.

There were no doubts that this person was clearly Mr. William Rowland.

"Yes, I'm so poor that I come out to sell condoms! Mister, please pay! 9.90 yuan!" she continued stretched her hand in front of William.

As William gazed across her palm, he saw several calluses. He frowned his pair of eagle-like eyes which felt unknowingly powerful.

She was still waiting!

The people around were watching at them.

The strong aura around William made everyone afraid to speak but instead of looking at them.

“I will take everything, is 1000 yuan enough?” he asked coldly.

Sherry looked at her remaining stock on the floor and shake her head. "That's too much, it's about 500 yuan for these remaining stocks. Mister, are you sure you want to buy everything?”

"Follow me!” William suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled her along.

“I don't want!" Sherry did not expect to meet him here. Why would he come to Late Night Street where only students come? It was after work time anyways and he could not control her private life.

William did not want to accept any rejection. He held her hand and pulled her along towards his Bugatti.

"Let go of me!" Sherry screamed. How about her stocks? Was she doing for nothing tonight? She did not sell more than hundred yuan in a night. He caused her to lose so much!

Sherry was dragged into his Bugatti as he closed the door. He immediately got in the car and drove away. Everything happened in an instant!

Sherry tried to open the door but it was locked. She angrily stared at William's handsome side face.

Was he crazy? He must be sick! What did it matter with him that she was selling things?

William started to feel her scorching gaze but he pretended not to look at her at all. When he drove out from Late Night Street, they arrived at a quiet road with trees.

She stared at him angrily and started yelling. “Mister, this is after work time. You don't have the rights to interrupt my private life. Don't interrupt me making money!"

"How much do you want?" He was surprised when he knew that his secretary would sell condoms after work! Damn, if this matter spread out, everyone would think that the Rowland Group did not take care

of their staffs and not giving enough salaries! "Say it, how much do you need?"

"I." She realized that she ran out of words and stared at him for quite some time. "This is none of your business!”

“You're my staff. In the employee handbook, Article 25 clearly states that part time jobs are not allowed after working hours’ William replied coldly.

"That's not the case! It is written that part time jobs related to the actual job are not allowed!"

“Let's add another point then. Part time jobs are not allowed at all!”

Sherry narrowed her eyes at this cruel man in front of her. What was he trying to do? "Fine! That would be from tomorrow onwards. Mister, you have made me lose 500 yuan, please compensate me immediately!"

“Are you sure 500 yuan is enough?”

"You only made me lose this much!” Sherry looked at him calmly without any trace of timidity.

William tried to look for cash but there wasn't any. He simply took out a cheque book and signed. "1,000,000 yuan, is this enough?"

Sherry looked at the cheque and felt stunned instantly. She felt like being humiliated by him. "You only owe me 500 yuan. 1,000,000 yuan is too much but you don't owe me!" This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

William stared at her and noticed her stubborn tears flickering in her eyes. He slowly lifted his thin lips.

"Open the door!” Sherry almost wanted to cry and she felt humiliated by him. This moment reminded her that night when she was 20 years old...

He looked at her silently for quite some time. He finally asked her. "Say it, why do you sell this outside?"

“Open the door, I want to get down!" She was holding her tears as she did not want to cry in front of anyone!

“Are you short of money?" His scorching eyes were staring at her.

These words finally angered Sherry as she was trying to hold back. She suddenly looked out of the window and started screaming. "Do you think everyone is like you, Mr. Rowland? Born with a silver spoon in your mouth and destine to be wealthy since birth. How do you understand the helplessness of the poor people like us? What do you know? You don't understand! I am short of money, so what? Can't I earn it by myself? Did I provoke you? You take out 1,000,000 yuan to humiliate me? You think you are rich? Please go ahead and support the African refugees. You can do charity! Do you think that you need be a hero in front of me?”

William was completely stunned.

It was unexpected to see such an weak woman to be so fierce!

Why was it so difficult for her to earn some money and pay off her debts? Why should she have to bear so much in the office and even must be subservient to him after work?

"Open the door!” She faced the other way and shouted again.

William looked at her stubborn face and snorted. "Stupid woman!"

"Yes, I'm stupid. I've always been stupid!" If she wasn't stupid, she wouldn't sign any agreement to be a surrogacy. Without that matter, she wouldn't have suffered so much over the years without knowing the location of her baby.

"Consider that I'm so unlucky to be your secretary. I'm so stupid, why don't you let me resign then?”

"If you're short of money, you can borrow from the company since you are the staff of the company! Don't joke around!” He was the one who hired her! Little did she know that how many women would like to be his secretary?

"I want to get off the car!” She knew that it was pointless to continue the conversation with him.

William angrily turned her face as he could not bear with her. “Tell me where you live, I will send you home!"

"No need! Give me!"

“What!”

"500 yuan!"

"I don't have!”

“Compensate me now!" She replied stubbornly as she wiped her tears.

"I will give it to you at work tomorrow!" He finally opened the door.

Sherry pushed the door. “Okay! Please remember, Mr. Rowland. You owe me 500 yuan!"

“What a stupid woman, she wants 500 yuan but not 1,000,000 yuan!"

"I just want these 500 yuan. This is what I deserve. I feel at ease. Do not think that everyone is same as you, you don't grow up eating human food!" She quickly left the car after shouting at him.

William was stunned. What didn't he grow up eating human food?

Sherry walked so fast as if she was trying to escape from his Bugatti. She quickly ran towards Late Night Street to check if her stocks were still there or perhaps someone might take them away!

William watched her ran over that way. He came down from the car and followed her along.

Great! Everything was still there!

Sherry took a deep breath and started selling again.

William couldn't help but took out a cigarette to lit and started smoking as he stood in the dark corner looking at her stubborn face in a distance.

"Mummy, is the business bad?” Dan immediately asked nervously when he saw Sherry coming back with a long face.

“Dan, why are you not sleeping yet?" Sherry glanced at the clock on the wall as it was pointed at 12 o'clock midnight. The computer in the living room was still on.

"Dan, are you making games again?”

"Mummy, I want to make the game quickly and sell it at a good price so that you don't have to work part time job at night!" Dan pouted as he poured a glass of water for Sherry.

She felt warm and satisfied but sad at the same time. "Dan, your mummy is an adult. Mummy can take care of Dan!"

“But Dan is a man, it is the right thing that any man should take care of any woman!”

"You're not a man yet, you're just a little boy!"

“Soon, I will be a man!" Dan patted on his chest and rubbed his eyes. "Mummy, I guess you're tired. Let me give you a massage for a while...”

“No matter how tired, it's always worth it when I have you”

When the cleaners were cleaning in the early morning, they swept a bunch of cigarette butts in a dark corner...

William did not come to work, not sure what was the reason?

The atmosphere in the early morning was a little dull. Sherry was sullenly sorting out the documents. The cooperation with AVL had been negotiated except for waiting for William to sign to confirm.

The phone rang. Sherry picked up the call.

"Sherry, this is Ms. Gill. Have you showed the cooperation plan to William?"

“Not yet! Mr. Rowland isn't in the office!”

“Please show him as soon as possible. If there's anything to change, we can discuss again!"

"Okay!"

After she put down the phone, she saw Alice who was working on the desk. "Alice, why doesn't Mr. Rowland come to work?"

"I heard that he was on business trip, Ms. Rhodes mentions that everything will be taken care by Mr. Brook!" Alice seemed to be well informed. "Sherry, I heard that Mr. Rowland brought his companion, Lisa Hartman from the celebration party. Have you heard about that?"

“Lisa Hartman?’ Sherry felt that the name sounded familiar.

"Yes, she was the car model! I heard that she was a virgin when she was with Mr. Rowland. Ha! Mr. Rowland only likes virgin.

However, there's a rumor that Lisa is a man-made virgin. Advanced technology nowadays!"
