A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 767 Having Their Own Plan

Jemima Wallace looked at him, slightly nodded, didn’t bother to know what he wanted, only said, “I want Marley Hughes!”

“I appreciate your straightforwardness!” said Ernie Hughes while he proposed a toast.

Jemima also raised her cup, the two exchanged looks in agreement, each having their own plan.

Sylvie Mccarthy returned to her bedroom after her meal, despite having her clothes changed, she still felt sweaty and uncomfortable. She went to the bathroom, immersed herself in warm water, a sense of comfort surrounded her, and she fell asleep unconsciously.

Marley heard the sound of water gushing coming from the bathroom after he came back from washing the dishes. Initially, he sat on the sofa to read for a while, but after a couple minutes, Sylvie was still not out yet, he then waited for a little while longer but there still wasn't anyone nor any sounds, but the sound of water flowing.

Worriedly, he stood up, walked towards the bathroom, within the huge bathroom, warm water was dripping into the tub, causing it to overflow from the tub heading directly towards the drain.

Sylvie laid silently against the tub deeply asleep, her tiny face reddened due to the warmth of a hot shower.

Marley was amused, then leaned over after a faint smile, carried her out from the bathtub. He walked out of the bathroom after covering her with a towel, then placed her in bed.

The sound of birds chirping early in the morning filled the room, awakened those who were still asleep in bed.

Sylvie wiggled her body, found out that she could not move, and immediately she was fully awake, and what rushed into her nostrils was the unique breadth of Marley, surrounding her in his arms.

Sylvie suddenly opened her eyes, only then she found out that she was lying naked in Marley’s arms.

‘What is going on?’

‘Was I not in a shower? How did I get in bed?’

She calmed herself down from panicking, raised her head silently to look at his sleepy face, his eyebrows were really long, his nose was stiff and his lips were sexy as well.

She took a peek at the time, ‘It’s time to wake up!’

So she gently got off from bed, just when she was about to leave his arms, she was being held into his arms again, his arms around her while he was still asleep.

“Time to wake up!” she whispered.

Marley finally opened his eyes and said, “It’s still early, just sleep for a little while! ”

“I’ll go prepare breakfast, you sleep!”

“Let's have takeaway!” he said.

“Today I feel like heading back home to get my passport, I haven't gone there yet!” she said.

“I’ll drive you there at noon!” he said.

At the Hughes Group.

Early in the morning, Marley brought Sylvie to the company.

Sylvie went to the pantry room to make coffee.

In the meantime, Tyler Cooper came over. “President, I have an emergency!” he said.

“Yes!” Marley nodded, turned towards Maisy Hill, and said, “Hill, I am busy today, do not let anyone in without any appointments! Especially Ernie Hughes! Do not let him in, do you understand?” he said.

“Yes!” Maisy could only nod, thinking, ‘Am I even capable of stopping Mr. Ernie?’

Tyler followed Marley to the president’s office, he first gave Marley a funny stare and said,

“Last night was one hell of a fight huh! Still stayed there even after work!”

“It was okay!” Marley joked with a low voice.

“Do you need any supplements? You might get kidney deficiency if this goes on!”

“Why don’t you prepare for me?” Marley replied.

“Haha! You got laid indeed even you could take on jokes now, never thought how strong a woman’s charm could be, even Mr. Hughes learned how to joke! ”

“You could also find a woman to get laid as well!”

“Please don’t drag me in as well!” Tyler joked, “Back to business, the job that you assigned me, I passed it to someone to handle it already, however, it was too late, Bonnie Mccarthy has been taken away!”

“Who?” Marley replied in shock.

“I don’t know who it is!” Tyler shrugged. “I think we should just observe for now! If someone took a move, it’s not gonna be us, isn’t that better?”

“Fine!” Marley started to think. “Who would it be?”

“We will know who it is when the time comes, nothing stays hidden forever,” said Tyler with joy.

“Ok! Where was she taken to?”

“We lost them, they are too good at erasing their tracks, but don't worry, we will find them soon!”

“Vice president, Vice president, you are not allowed to enter at this moment, the President said that he is having an important meeting that no outsiders are allowed to,” Hill said helplessly.

Followed by that was a huge “Bam” sound, the office’s door was opened by force.

“President – I’m sorry, Vice president insisted on meeting you, I can’t hold him back—” Hill was so anxious that her sweat was almost dripping down. She nervously looked at Marley who was sitting on the president’s chair with Tyler right in front of him.

‘I’m done, am I going to be fired?’ she thought to herself with her eyes tightly closed, getting ready to be yelled at by Marley.

After having a clear image of the intruder, Marley calmly told Hill who was still shivering, “It’s fine, go on with your work!”

Hill raised her head sharply, ran out as fast as she could.

When the door was fully shut, she leaned against an office desk in exhaustion to take a deep breath.

“Marley Hughes, what is that supposed to mean?” questioned Ernie, who barged into the president's office in a rage. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Marley frowned. “What are you screaming for early in the morning?” he said.

“You as the president did not come out of your office the whole day, just to get laid with your secretary, what is your problem?”

Marley smirked and said, “Does this have anything to do with you? You are not even the person I slept with!”

“Of course it has something to do with me, I am the Vice president of this company, I have the right to remind our president to be mindful of his behavior to maintain his reputation t. It does not matter if it affects your reputation, but if it affects the company’s reputation, it is wrong! ”

Marley stood up, went face to face with Ernie, stared him in the eye, and said in disdain, “Is that so? Since our Vice president cares so much about reputation, why would he harass a secretary in office? ”

“Huh?” Ernie raised his eyebrows after hearing what Marley said, blinked, and asked Marley while looking at him, “What made you say so?”

“Ernie Hughes, go do your work! Stop harassing Aila in the future, she’s only an employee, not your wife!” said Marley in disdain. With both of his arms spread he said, “Sorry to inform you that you and I are not alike, Sylvie is my wife, but Aila is just an employee only! So the person that needs to be mindful of his behavior is you, Vice president!”

With a cold stare Ernie leisurely lit a cigar and said, “Interesting, you are probably right! Sylvie is your wife, Ha-ha, so let it be then! You better cherish her while you still can!”

After saying so, he left.

Tyler and Marley exchanged looks, Tyler said with his arms out, “So what’s the point of his visit this time? ”

“Just treat him as a crazy guy!”

Sylvie came out from the pantry with a tray in hand, on her way she met Ernie face to face.

Immediately Ernie put on a dazzling smile after seeing her. “Good morning, Sylvie!”

“Good morning! Vice president!” Sylvie greeted in a polite yet alienated manner as she walked past him in a hurry.

This time, Ernie did not say a word nor did he do anything, instead he just walked past her.

Deep down Sylvie sighed in relief. She then served coffee to the president’s office, arranged her work schedule for the day with Tyler, it was lunchtime soon, she was heading back to grab her passport.

Marley was waiting for her with his car keys in hand already, she then quickly left Tyler’s office and followed him downstairs while carrying her bags.

Soon the couple reached Sunshine Residential Area, just when she was about to get off of the car on the lower floor, she met Ryan Babel.

He was tall as usual, wearing white striped t-shirt, khaki-colored casual trousers, he stood there handsomely, with a garbage bag in hand. It seemed that he just came out from her house.

“Ryan!” Sylvie greeted him naturally.

“You are back” Ryan replied naturally as well,” I just restocked your refrigerator!”

“Thanks!” Sylvie said unconsciously, she then took a look at Marley who was standing beside her.

Marley slightly smiled, calmly he said, “Mr. Babel is such a kind person, he even remembers to restock our dear Sylvie’s refrigerator! Haha! Does this mean that Mr. Babel has the key to our dear Sylvie’s house? ”

Ryan stood in a daze, slightly smiled, and nodded.

“Well from now on there’s no need to trouble Mr. Babel anymore, you can give me the keys, I will restock her fridge!” said Marley in a deep voice.

He felt nothing wrong to ask for the keys, he felt like he was claiming back his rights, there was nothing wrong about it!

Ryan observed Marley’s domineering look from a distance, slightly smiled, without a single awkwardness he said, “Alright, hopefully, Mr. Hughes can take good care of Sylvie! Here are the keys!”

He handed over the keys right after saying so.

Sylvie didn’t know what to say, she gave Ryan a guilty look, he smiled, his eyes were full of gentleness. His gentleness made her feel even worse. She just felt ashamed, and she didn’t know how to face Ryan anymore in the future.

“Sylvie, I’ll leave first!” Ryan said in a distance. “Goodbye, Mr. Hughes!”

“Goodbye!” said Sylvie in a soft voice.

“Take care!” said Marley.

Ryan slightly smiled and left.

Marley stuffed the key into his pocket and headed upstairs while holding her hand.

Sylvie called the elevator, and pressed the button of her floor, and the elevator arrived right at her doorstep, and he opened the door before her using the keys he acquired not long ago.

“Uh!” Sylvie followed him into the house.

Right when the door was fully shut, he started kissing her.

“Stop it, Marley!” said Sylvie helplessly.

“He had your keys, I didn't!” said Marley in a low voice, he spoke with a tone full of grievance and hoarseness, with a slight fierce danger.

Sylvie knew what he was up to! She was both nervous and bewildered at the same time, ‘Why are men not the same as women?’

Men tend to be straightforward, seemed like they could only prove a woman belonged to them through sex! On the other hand, women hoped to have a heart-to-heart conversation.

“Marley, are you not coming back soon?” Sylvie mumbled. “We are still heading back to the office for work this afternoon, stop it! Marley, can you please stop this? ”

His hands would not stop and went even more out of control instead, going through every inch of her skin. “I snatched you back, without you being initiative, I never been here before, you never invited me over, instead you brought him back and even let him stay at your place! ”

“So what now?” she asked helplessly, “You had already offended my friend, embarrassed me in front of him! I doubt he would come if I invited him over again! Save your worries!”

Suddenly she recalled, she forgot to hand over the card to Ryan! She startled, her vision became a bit blurry.

“What’s on your mind? Stop thinking about other guys!” Right after Marley finished his sentence! He calmed down his anger and focused his lips on hers. “You are only allowed to think about me!”

He forced her down with his body, kissed her more aggressively as if it was the only way to express his jealousy and grievance.

“Marley, can you please stop this, I’m not thinking of anyone else” she was really afraid of him being like this anytime anywhere.

He neglected her protest, “Why did you give the keys to him instead of giving it to me?”

“It was you before then,” she mumbled. “Did you not say that it was only a trade after all?”
