A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 30: I Have A Boyfriend

“No!” She shook her head and her eyes glared wide open. This man was terrifying.

"Smack!" She swung her hand and he didn't dodge and took on the full impact of the slap. She was stunned.

With a scoff, William's cold gaze locked onto her startled eyes and licked the blood at the corner of his lips. He grinned and his ruthlessness flashed across his eyes and then he regained his deathly coldness.

“You are the first woman who dares to hit me but I'll give you this honor!” His tone was overbearing but tender.

She stared at him and her heart started to flutter. She was terrified about this man because he could cause raging waves within her heart.

“Be good, don't get me worked up!” His domineering arrogance raised her surprise a higher level.

"You're crazy!” She was so shocked that she had forgotten the purpose of looking for him and quickly escaped.

"Sherry, what happened to your lips?" Alice looked at her hurrying out of the director's office and looked at her curiously, “Er! It's swollen! Did Mr. Rowland kiss you?”

“What the hell are you talking about?" Sherry tensed up immediately.

She mustered up a smile but realized that even the corner of her lips was stiff. She quickly ran to the restroom. She looked into the mirror as her trembling fingers touched her painful lips. She had been forcibly kissed and her lips were painful as they were burning hot.

What did he mean? What were his intentions by doing these tyrannical actions?

She composed herself before she walked out of the restroom.

William remained in his office for the rest of the day.

At the end of the workday, Sherry received Celia's call. She was back after a vacation in Singapore. "Hi, Sherry, shall we go for a celebration? Take our Dan and we'll have dinner at a Western restaurant. I'll give you a treat!"

“What's the occasion?" Sherry grinned and forgot for a moment that she was violated by William, “You sound very happy!”

"Yes, I'll tell you later! Oh yes, I'll pick Dan up first, and thereafter we'll pick you up at your office at six. Don't forget that!" Celia instructed.

“Okay! See you later!" Sherry hung up the call.

"Sherry, is that your boyfriend?” Alice started to poke her nose into her personal affairs again.

"Yes!" Sherry was about to deny but when she saw William, her heart skipped a beat, and inexplicably nodded.

"Sherry, you have a boyfriend already?" Alice yelled.

Sherry glanced at William and said, "Yes, of course! He'll pick me up later!"

She was hinting to William that she already had a boyfriend and he should not harass her anymore! William's gaze sharpened and walked briskly to Liam's office.

Sherry heaved a sigh and thought that Mr. Rowland should not bother her again.

After work, Sherry took the lift down. The colleagues who were gleefully chatting away suddenly became silent when she stepped into the lift. She felt that countless eyes were looking at her when she stepped out of the lift.

She saw Celia's car a distance away as soon as she stepped out of the main lobby.

In the main lobby, the director's reserved lift also opened.

Sherry started to run towards Celia's car. Celia drove a manly off-road vehicle. A small boy got out of the car and ran towards Sherry, "Mommy, I'm here to pick you up!"

"Slow down!" Sherry hugged him, "Dan, let's go quickly!"

William walked out of the building and turned his gaze and saw someone carrying a child into the car.

"Sherry?!" William was stunned, that child?

Sherry turned and saw William standing at the entrance of the building. Her heart almost jumped out of her throat. Then she saw William walking over in large strides...

"Drive! Celia!” Sherry stuffed Dan into the car and then quickly got in thereafter.

“What happened? Have you seen a ghost?" Celia immediately started the car when she heard her yell.

William's eyes narrowed ominously. Did she really have a boyfriend? Really?

"Mommy? Is there a big bad wolf?" Dan was curious and looked behind but the car had already driven off.

"I've been encountering some insane people recently!" Sherry explained, “But I'm fine, don't worry. Where are we going?”

“Okay! My brother's western restaurant is opening today. Free invitations. Of course, we must not miss out on a free meal!" Celia joked.

“Why do you make us sound like we are beggars?" Sherry grinned and brushed off the harassment she encountered today.

“Leon, this is my friend Sherry and my godson, Daniel. We're here to celebrate your restaurant's opening!" Celia held onto Dan's hand and congratulated Leon while giving him a sizeable red packet.

Sherry presented a bouquet of flowers, "Leon, congratulations on your opening!”

This wasn't the first time Sherry met Leon but Leon looked particularly handsome when he wore a business suit today.

“Sherry, we've not met for years!" Leon was stunned and looked curiously at the child next to Celia, “This child looks so familiar!"

“Leon! I'm starving! Quickly serve the food!" Celia interrupted him.

“From today onwards, you are my...’ William's tyrannical declaration rang in her ears and Sherry was immediately distracted.

Sherry, why is your heart pounding?

Ah ah ah ah...

I'm going insane! I'm going crazy! Sherry, why are you thinking of that man? Didn't you say to take him as a lunatic? But the warmth on her lips still lingered and she was totally conflicted! She was in a mess. Her mind started to buzz continuously.

It was like a dream, no, more of a nightmare. She hoped that he would not bother her anymore after she said that she had a boyfriend.

“Sherry? Sherry? Wake up!" Celia looked at Sherry who was in a daze, "Hey you, are you in heat?”

Sherry came to her senses after hearing a familiar female voice and blushed even more, "Erm!"

“Something's up" Celia confirmed.

"Celia, what's up?" Dan's cute face was full of curiosity.

“I'm going to the washroom and will be back soon; Sherry said and quickly left for the washroom.

“Congratulations on the opening!" Liam declared when he saw Leon and whistled.

William remained cold and silent but when he saw Leon, he grinned, “Congratulations!”

"Thanks! I didn't expect you to come!" Leon said and his expression changed when he saw Susan following behind.

“Why? Don't you welcome me?” Susan blinked mischievously.

“No, no, I just didn't expect you to come!" Leon smiled coyly.

William and Liam exchanged looks seeming to understand something.

"Reminisce on the past, you two, we'll go up first!” Liam said and was about to go upstairs.

Leon turned around quickly and instructed someone to lead them into the restaurant. When he saw the mischief in William's eyes, he realized and quickly yelled.

“Will, is your son here?"

"Sammy? William raised his eyebrow, "No!"

"I saw a child who looks very much like you! Especially his eyes!" Leon said, "I thought that he is your son! So, I was mistaken!"

“Er? Sammy's eyes do not look like Will and should look more like his mother!" Liam thought. "Will, who is Sammy's mother? When will you tell us?"

"I'm going to the restroom!" William glared at him and didn't turn back. He exuded a dangerous aura and walked towards the restroom.

Leon looked at Liam, “Why do you like to talk about taboo subjects?”

"Okay, continue with your conversation. ['m going up.” Liam rubbed his nose and walked into the restaurant.

Sherry quickly composed herself and walked out of the restroom with her head lowered.

William also walked in that direction and suddenly his eyes narrowed as he noticed her. To think that she was also there, what a small world! William walked over to her and then stopped.

Sherry, with her eyes looking down, suddenly saw a pair of shiny leather shoes and lifted her head. She looked stunned with eyes wide open, “Mr. ... Mr. Rowland!"

The next second, he grabbed her slim waist and pulled her into his warm embrace.

"Mr. Rowland...” To her surprise, he had already lowered his head and looked as if he was about to kiss her.

But he stopped just before he kissed her. At that closeness, she could smell the tobacco on him and started to feel dizzy.

“We are fated to be together! Sherry!" He smiled charmingly, “Where's your boyfriend? Which one? Introduce him to me!"

Sherry's pupil dilated and swallowed her saliva, "Mr. Rowland, my boy... boyfriend is outside. Quickly release me or I'll scream!"

"Scream?" he scoffed and grabbed her to the female restroom.

What's that pervert doing in a female restroom? Why did he enter the restroom? The previous time he kissed her was in the female restroom.

“Go ahead and scream, you may scream if you want to!" He said coldly and pressed her against the door. His cold expression could make a person shiver.

"... " Sherry was petrified.

His sharp gaze was staring down into her and the overbearing suppression caused her to struggle with her breathing. Only a tyrant could cause such a feeling...

"You're a pervert! This is the ladies!” She finally spoke. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"Break off with your boyfriend! Immediately!” His gaze locked onto her eyes as if he was going to devour her.

“You, are you insane?” Sherry was dumbfounded and was startled by his sudden appearance not to mention what he just said. He shouldn't be ordering her like that even if she had a boyfriend.

Why was he here? What was he doing here? What did he want?

William started to smile in a strange manner. He maintained silence and looked amusingly at Sherry's bewilderment and felt good about it.

“Mr. Rowland, release me. How can you do this?"

“What did I do?” William smiled and tightened his grip, holding her tightly in his embrace not letting her budge.

He looked down and was on the verge of kissing her. He liked to see her in that anxious manner and felt particularly aroused.

Sherry’s instincts took over and raged, "Stop it! My boyfriend will kill you! Release me!”

“Then call out to him! Get him into the ladies to kill me!" William laughed arrogantly.

Sherry closed her eyes in resignation and said, "How, how can you behave this way? You are a director!"

He just overturned her impression of him. How could he sexually harass his secretary? She wasn't one of those easy women!

"Leave your boyfriend!" He continued to demand.
