A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 58: Gift

"Time to eat!" Sherry turned the kitchen ventilator off, she didn't hear them talk at all, and carried the food outside, "Liam,

Daniel, go and wash your hands, it's time to eat.”

"Coming!" Daniel replied quickly, “I will get the chopsticks! Mr. Brooks, wash your hands!"

As he stood up, he saw Sherry untie her apron, the table was filled with all kinds of dishes, there was lamb in onion, Kung Pao Chicken, fish in vinegar sauce, pumpkin pie, corn soup... all the dishes looked delicious and nice, Liam's eyes lit up, how long had he not been home? He suddenly was reminded of his own mother when he looked at the table, it looked like home.

“Liam, sit down!"

“Mr. Brook, please!" Daniel pulled out a chair for him to sit.

"Sherry, you are a good housewife!" Liam sighed.

"Yeah, my mom is the best Mom ever!" Daniel complimented her.

"Eat!" Sherry rubbed her son's nose.

It was really delicious, Liam ate more than he usually did. When he was full, he said, "Sherry, actually there was something I

wanted to tell you."

“Huh?"

"Tuesday, you need to take Daniel to the office for a software meeting, there are engineers who want to talk to him about

some details!" Liam told them what William asked him to. "This project will be in my hands! When it is ready to be released on the market, we will need Daniel to help us promote it!"

"Tuesday?" Sherry thought about it, “Yeah, I will take him!"

She knew it was important for him to appear on such business operations. She will ask for a day off on Tuesday.

“Mr. Brooks, so will I finally meet Mr. Big Dick?" Daniel heard that he will go to the office with his mother, and was very excited

about that.

"Well, not necessarily!" Liam didn't want William to know that Danile was Sherry's son, but at the same time, he wanted William to know, he wanted to see his reaction when he saw that his secretary had a five year old kid, that must be a reaction he won't see for another thousand years! He had high expectations!

Liam was undecided, and his brows were tightly knit.

"Will he got to work?” Daniel asked again.

On Monday.

"Sherry, wait for me!" As soon as she entered the office, she ran into Alice, "Your performance on Friday was amazing, all the

journalists were writing about you, asking which company that model was from!"

"There was no other way!" Sherry was helpless, and forced a smile.

The two of them were chatting while walking to the elevator together.

On the side, they suddenly heard some employees whisper, and then they saw everyone in the lobby suddenly stand really

Straight, saying to a man, "Good morning, Mr. Rowland!"

William nodded, and looked around the lobby, it was hard to read his face, but when he noticed Sherry, his eyes lit up.

"Wow, Mr. Rowland is too handsome!" Alice sighed.

Sherry turned and went into the elevator, yeah really handsome, but also really dominant and unreasonable!

William walked straight to his elevator and entered it, but there was a smile hanging on his lips.

“Mr. Rowland seems to be in a good mood these days!" The woman at the reception said after William left.

"When he smiles he looks so charming!"

During lunch break, Sherry and Alice were sitting together at a lunch table, enjoying their meal.

All the employees were whispering when they saw Sherry, but she didn't bother about it anymore. She knew in her heart that

she and William had no special relationship, so she wasn't afraid of them gossiping.

The sun was shining nicely on Sherry's face, same as on Alice's, "Sherry, I heard William got rid of Lisa, I wonder what the

reason was this time!"

“Huh!" Sherry paused, “How did you know?"

"You know how big the circle is, everyone is talking about it, and Mr. Rowland didn't seem to be after any other girls right now”!

"Hm!" Sherry didn't say more, it was none of her business, and she didn't want to know more.

"Mr. Rowland only likes virgins, I wonder who will be his next, Sherry, why do I get the feeling that the way he looks at you is

different?" Alice said and looked at Sherry, "It's really weird, you are so calm about it, Sherry, tell me, did he ever make a move on you?"

Sherry was gossiping with her, but Sherry was in no mood to listen. She just minded herself and her lunch, once in a while she would look up and listen. Whatever Alice asked her, she would just smile but not answer.

"Sherry, are you still a virgin?" Alice suddenly asked.

Sherry's hand holding her spoon trembled, and suddenly she had no appetite anymore, her face blushed. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Alice was too straight up when she was asking questions, Sherry felt a kind of pain in her chest, as if all of her organs were

twitching, and her stomach had a hole in it. It almost felt as if the blood would be coming up her throat.

This question made her heart turn cold, she was freezing, she worked so hard to locking up those memories, and now Alice

reminded her again.

Right in that moment, Liam came in, and sat next to them, Sherry got up and said, "Enjoy your lunch, I am already done!"

Both of them were surprised, and Liam shrugged his shoulders, "Why is she so pale?"

"I don't know, Mr. Brooks, you seem to care about her!" Alice continued to gossip with him.

"I also care about you, silly girl, you are just as pale, you should eat more!" Liam laughed.

"Mr. Rowland, I need to take a day off tomorrow!" In the afternoon, Sherry went to William's office to ask him.

"What is it?” William looked up from his desk, he was as handsome as a statue.

Sherry saw his face, and was a little perplexed, suddenly she remembered her dream that night, when she thought Mr. Fox

was William.

She looked down quickly, to hide her blushing face and her weird thoughts.

"Ms. Murray, I am asking you a question!" William raised his voice, he was sure that she was drunk that day, she didn't

remember asking him about the fox mask.

He had to find a good opportunity to tell her the truth, but how would she react to that?

"What?" Sherry was startled for a moment.

"I asked why you need to take a day off?"

"Private matters!" Sherry said.

“Alright, you can have it!" William thought for a few seconds before answering.

"Thank you!" Sherry turned to leave.

“Wait!" William said.

"Do you need something else?"

"My son has a gift for you!" He said, and took out a little box from the drawer of his desk.

Sherry was surprised, and remembered Samuel's little face.

“Open it!" William said, waiting for her reaction.

Sherry shook her head, "Please thank Samuel for me, but there is no need to send me gifts, I will go to visit him in time!"

"If my son finds out that you declined his gift, he will be really sad!" William's long fingers were crossed on the table, and said

calmly, “Are you sure you want to see him sad?"

"I..." Sherry felt a little undecided, how could she take a gift from a child?

“Open it!" William looked at her with a fake smile.

Sherry took the box, opened it, and saw that it was a very pretty scarf, how could Samuel give her a scarf, Sherry was

wondering.

“Don't doubt it, he picked that one out, yesterday we went to the mall, and when he saw it, he said he wants to give this to you

since the weather is turning, you can use it now!" William explained calmly.

"Mr. Rowland, thank you for the thought, but I cannot accept the gift!" Sherry felt very warm in her heart, because Samuel was

just as caring as Daniel, he was a good child. She was thankful to this child who she had only met twice, but she couldn't take the gift.

"Ms. Murray, if you are not going to accept this, I will use other forces on you." William squinted his eyes dangerously, "I don't

mind it."

He stared at her lips while saying so, the ambiguous look in his eyes made her tremble, “Alright, I will take it, goodbye Mr.

Rowland!"

Early in the morning, Sherry took Daniel to the company, she even bought him new clothes for this matter, a little black suit,

with a white shirt and a bow, he looked like a little gentleman.

When they entered the lobby, the receptionist was surprised, "Ms. Murray, who is this little kid, he is adorable!"

Sherry only smiled and said, "Good morning, say your greeting Daniel!"

Daniel stopped accordingly, "Miss, good morning! You are really pretty!"

“Oh my gosh, how cute is he!" The receptionist started to act on Daniel's praises.

"Good bye Miss!" Sherry took Daniel to the elevator after greeting her, they went straight to the 56th floor, as Liam told her

they had to to there to speak about the details first.

The crowd was really busy, but Sherry successfully got their attention when walking in with Daniel, who was not the tiniest bit

nervous. He watched the busy life in the office area calmly, thinking if this is where his mother worked? Later he also wanted to have such a company, so his mother didn't have to work so much! Daniel made a promise to himself!

After William talked to his secretary Ms. Hines, he also went to the 56th floor.

That day, the little genius was coming, and he had some time to spare, so he came down to have a look.

In the meeting room, Sherry and her son were sitting in their seats, waiting for everyone to arrive.

Not long after, Liam came too, "Sherry, you are here!"

Sherry nodded, and greeted him.

"Is everyone here?" Liam asked.

“Yeaht" The designer was also wondering who the boy next to Sherry was.

“Alright, since everyone is here, let's start!" Liam opened his meeting notes andwas about to say something.

William came into the meeting room, as usual dressed in his black suit, which complimented his tall figure, and his cold

expression, his sharp eyes, spreading the aura of an confident man.

He pushed open the door, his appearance made everyone stand up.

"Sit down everyone.” He walked inside.

"Uncle!" Daniel was sitting on his seat, but when he saw William, he was so excited and called out, nobody thought that the

president himself would come over.

But when they saw the eyes on that little child, everyone was surprised, his eyes looked just like William's.

Sherry looked at the tall figure at the door, she didn't think William would come as well.

“Yeah, hi!" William looked at Daniel, and smiled, “Sit down!"

William walked to the side, and sat down, he subconsciously looked through the room, and suddenly saw Sherry, his eyes

showed a little surprise, and he stared at her, "Ms. Murray, didn't you take the day off?"

"Yes, Mr. Rowland, I took a day off to bring my son to the meeting!" Sherry smiled, and got up, then she touched Daniel's head.

Whoosh!

William's head felt as if he was hit. What did she just say?
