A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 780 She Cannot Be Threatened

Could her baby grow up without a father like her?

What could she do?

She would resign. She wouldn't be Marley's secretary, since she just wanted to be an architect.

Sylvie wrote the resignation letter last night, typed it out, and put it in an envelope. She went to the company early in the morning.

Tyler was a little surprised to see Sylvie in the morning. "Secretary Sylvie, aren't you in America with the president?"

"I'm home in advance!" Sylvie said with a faint smile. "Mr. Cooper, I chose two people in the United States. Let's go to the office to talk about it!"

"Well!" Tyler was a little surprised that she suddenly came back. What about Marley? Why didn't they come back together? They couldn't have been quarreling, could they?

Sylvie went into Tyler's office. She handed the documents to Marley, gave him the numbers, and introduced the background of the candidates.

Tyler was a little puzzled. "Secretary Sylvie, you can be responsible for it."

"I'm quitting, Mr. Cooper. I'm no longer a secretary. This is my resignation letter. Please help me to give it to him." Sylvie explained.

"You're quitting?" Tyler looked at her resignation letter in puzzlement, "Why do you quit?"

"I'm not good at doing business. It's not my interest. Mr. Cooper, please. I'm going!"

"Well! Secretary Sylvie. I think you'd better give it to Marley yourself. It's not up to me!" Tyler stood up and had no idea what happened.

"It doesn't matter. Give it to him. He will understand! I'm going to hand over my work and go home!" With that said, she was about to leave.

"Secretary Sylvie, why don't you think it twice?" Tyler was afraid that he could not explain to Marley. What was going on?

"No need!" She smiled. She didn't want to be a secretary, but she had no choice at that time. Now, she didn't feel it mattered anymore.

"If you have any trouble, tell me. I can help you! No difficulty cannot be overcome. You don't have to quit!" Tyler persuaded Sylvie.

However, Sylvie smiled and said, "Mr. Cooper, I really appreciate you. I made this decision after thinking twice. Thank you for your kindness! It's nice to meet you! Goodbye!"

With that, she went out.

Tyler did not know what to do, called Marley but his phone was off!

"Damn it, how could he turn off the phone at a critical moment?" Tyler frowned and almost threw the phone. He realized something went wrong, looking at the resignation letter on the desk.

In the secretary's office, Sylvie handed her work to Secretary Cox.

"What do you mean, Secretary Sylvie?" Secretary Cox was a little surprised. "You want to quit?

"I am leaving!" Sylvie did not conceal it.

"Where are you going?" Secretary Cox was surprised. " You're going home to be a full-time wife?"

Sylvie just smiled, neither denied nor admitted.

Suddenly, the smell of cigarettes spread.

Sylvie remained still and looked around confusedly. Ernie stood not far away, leaning against the desk. He was staring at Sylvie.

Sylvie was stunned and smiled, "Hello!"

"You're quitting?" Ernie said in a cold voice and came over.

Sylvie raised her chin slightly and nodded. "Yes!"

"Why?"

"No reason!" Sylvie smiled. "I'm sorry. I have to go!"

"I don't believe that you are going to be a full-time wife! You are not such kind of woman!" Ernie blinked at her and threw his arms around her shoulder. "It's a big deal. If you leave, I will miss you. So, you can't leave here. I don't allow you to resign."

Sylvie lowered her head, chuckled, and pulled down his hand. "Ernie, please behave yourself!"

"No!" Ernie sneered, "Let's talk about it on the floor below!"

"No need. I don't have to talk to you." Sylvie said in a cold voice. She didn't want to be pestered by Ernie again. Moreover, she couldn't help but feel upset when she faced Ernie who looked like Marley.

"Sylvie!" Ernie reached out and grabbed her wrist, pulling her downstairs.

"Ernie!" Sylvie immediately screamed because she worried about the baby in her belly. "Let go of me. I can walk myself."

Only then did Ernie let go of her. He frowned when he looked at Sylvie's pale face. Sylvie seemed to be worried about something. She went out with Ernie and followed him.

"Ernie!" As soon as they arrived at the floor below, they saw Aila walking towards them with materials in her hand. "Well! Secretary Sylvie! Hello!"

Sylvie smiled faintly, "Hello, Aila!"

Aila stood in front of Sylvie with a smile. She lost a lot of weight and her cheeks were sunken, so her eyes looked very large. She was like the heroine in the supernatural film. Sylvie didn't expect Aila would become so thin.

"What are you doing here? Go on with your work!" Ernie said impatiently and walked to his office. "Sylvie, come in!"

Without saying a word, Aila pursed her lips and returned to her desk.

Sylvie followed Ernie into his office.

"Sit down!" He spoke.

Ernie saw that the office door was open, so he walked to close it.

"What do you want to say? Ernie!" Sylvie asked with caution.

Ernie sat on his large chair and squinted at her. "Why do you quit?"

Sylvie didn't answer.

She knew that Ernie wouldn't stop being curious until she answered him, but she was unwilling to talk about it and thought it was unnecessary.

"You can't stay with Marley anymore?" Ernie raised his voice, "What happened?"

"It's none of your business!" Sylvie said calmly.

"You have great affections for him, don't you?" Ernie said mockingly," Sylvie, it seems that you are not so fond of Marley!"

"I don't have to tell you about that! You're too meddling! I'm sick of it. I have to go back to take a rest. Goodbye!" She stood up. She was unwilling to look too indifferent. After all, Ernie had saved her before.

"How about being together with me?" He spoke.

Sylvie looked at Ernie calmly. "I'm not that willful as you. You don't care about how others think about you. However, there is always someone that you cannot get no matter how scheming you are. I don't want to joke with you. If you take me as a friend, we will be friends. If you have other ideas and want to harm me or Marley, save it!"

Ernie paused and said with a smile, "What a good girl! I knew you would say that!"

"If so, don't talk about it anymore!"

Ernie was slightly shocked.

As Sylvie was about to leave, he stood up, stepped forward, and took her hand. "Sylvie, let me see you off!"

"Let go!" Sylvie suppressed her anger and shouted. "Please don't touch me!"

But Ernie did not take it. He smiled, grabbed her, and was going to take her outside.

Sylvie was anxious suddenly, and cried out, "Ernie!"

Hearing her calling out his name with anger, Ernie stopped and looked back at her.

He didn't let go of her, with his eyes bright. "What?" he asked in a deep voice.

"You…" Sylvie was confused about why he liked touching her. She said with anger, "Let go of me. Don't grab my hand! Alright?"

"Let me take you home," Ernie said and let go of her hand.

Her face softened and she said softly, "No, I can go by myself."

She could go home by herself. She didn't need anyone to take her home!

There had been no need in the past!

There would be no need in the future!

"You don't look well!" Ernie said.

Sylvie went out, followed by Ernie.

"Didn't you get a good rest?" In the elevator, Ernie's voice sounded. He was so close to her that Sylvie couldn't help but frown.

"I'm fine! Ernie, I don't need you to take me home!" Sylvie said.

Ernie bent slightly and whispered to Sylvie's ear, "We are friends, aren't we? You will hurt my feelings if you refuse me like that!"

His breath disturbed Sylvie, so she stepped back and wanted to get away from him. She looked up at him. His eyes sparkled.

Sylvie kept silent.

When she finally arrived on the first floor, Sylvie was relieved, "I have to go!"

When she was about to leave, Ernie pulled her and took her to the parking lot. He refused to let go of her. Sylvie was a little angry and was about to speak, but Ernie whispered her name intimately, "Sylvie, I am not Marley. Don't provoke me! Otherwise, I would do something bad to you."

"Ernie, friendship is established based on mutual respect. If you can't respect me, I think we'd better not meet each other or be friends." Sylvie didn't want to quarrel with him and said with reason, "Ernie, I am not afraid of you. Don't threaten me! Even if I died, I wouldn't be frightened!"

"I couldn't bear to let you die!" Ernie said and smiled suddenly. "Why do you talk about death suddenly! I am amused by you."

Sylvie frowned and didn't argue. "Stop the car in front. I'll go to the mall!"

"Why do you go there?"

"I'm going shopping!"

"You are very leisurely!"

"Thanks to you!

"Stop here!" Ernie stopped his car at the gate of the mall and saw her off. He turned around the car and didn't expect that Sylvie would go out of the mall immediately and walk towards the bus stop.
