A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 228 Extra Chapter One Kneel And Beg

White Group Building in F City.

A slim lady stood below the building and looked up at the eighty-eight levels high skyscraper, hesitating whether she should enter the building. Finally, Leila clenched her teeth and walked inside.

“Miss, who are you looking for?” The receptionist blocked Leila and looked at her.

Leila was around twenty years old and looked particularly young. She wore grey-white jeans and a tight T-shirt. She looked like a girl next door. Her face was pleasant with a pair of beautiful eyes. She looked very innocent.

“I, I’m looking for Vincent!” Leila said as she blinked.

“Miss, have you made an appointment? The receptionist smiled warmly.

Did I have to make an appointment to see Vincent?

“Miss, you can’t see the director if you didn’t make an appointment!”

“Oh.” Leila was disappointed and was about to turn to leave.

Then the doors of the lift opened suddenly. She unconsciously turned and saw two people coming out of the lift. The first person was Vincent.

Leila was stunned.

Vincent wore an Italian hand custom-tailored business suit. One of his hands was tucked in his pocket as he walked swiftly out while talking to the person beside him.

He was tall and slim and dashingly handsome. His smile was mesmerizing but when examined closely it was a lofty smile. His dark-colored eyes sparkled and radiated his irresistible charm.

Without thinking, Leila rushed forward and yelled, “Mr. White!”

Her sudden appearance caused Vincent to stop but he wasn’t stunned. He simply lowered his gaze and looked at her and after recognizing her, he grinned and teased, “Aren’t you Leila Hunter? What can I do for you?”

“You know what!” Leila said softly.

“I know?” Vincent laughed, “Do you think that I can read your mind? How do I know what Miss Hunter is here for?”

Leila blushed and pursed her lips, “I’m here to beg you!”

“Ha! Somehow there were so many people who looked for me today. I don’t have the time now as I need to rush for my flight. Please go back, Miss Hunter.” Vincent grinned cruelly.

Leila shuddered, mustered her courage, and said anxiously, “I won’t delay you. I just beg you to destroy that thing!”

“What thing? I don’t know what you are referring to!” Vincent smiled and said nonchalantly.

“You know about it!” Leila bit her lips, “You can’t destroy my sister’s happiness!” C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

“Please step aside, I’m going to be late!” Vincent’s expression darkened and said coldly.

“No! You can’t go!” She ran to him and grabbed his sleeve. Her little hands were determined to stop him.

Vincent glared sharply at her fair and soft slender hands. He replied, “Miss Hunter, it’s not appropriate for a girl to pester a man out in the public!”

“I beg you!” Leila couldn’t help but discard her self-respect and used the word ‘beg’.

“You’re begging?” Vincent scoffed softly as he began to smile gently, “Who are you representing?”

“Myself, or, or I beg you on behalf of the Hunter family!” Leila said as she ground her teeth.

“I don’t see any sincerity in your request. Do you intend to stand and beg? What if I want you to kneel?” Vincent grinned calmly as he said with ease.

The soft voice raced into her heart like a demon. When she heard his words, her eyes glared wide open as she retorted, “Mr. White, you can kill me but you can’t ridicule me!”

“Since you’re unwilling to, then forget it!” Vincent pulled off her hands and was about to leave.

“No!” Leila shuddered, clenched her teeth, and fell to her knees in the lobby, “I’ll kneel! I beg you!”

Leila stunned everyone when she knelt. The receptionist, the person beside Vincent, and the security guards. All of them looked stupefied at the scene.

“Tsk tsk…” Vincent shook his head as he looked, “I forgot to tell you that even if you kneel, I will also not destroy that thing. This is what Macey owed me!”

On hearing, Leila’s face turned pale and she bit her lips tightly. Her delicate and white teeth almost punctured her lips. She didn’t move but raised her head and looked at Vincent with her big round eyes. She had put down her pride and she no longer had any dignity as she asked, “What will make you agree?”

People continued to walk by and were shocked when they saw a girl knelt in front of Vincent. Vincent smiled with ridicule and ease as if the girl had nothing to do with him. His chiseled good looks contained a pair of handsome eyes. When he didn’t smile, his eyes looked as if they could see through a person. She knew that his smile looked terrifying…

Leila didn’t lower her head. She no longer had any dignity from the moment she knelt. She continued to beg, “I beg you, please destroy it!”

“Oh! I’m sorry, Miss Hunter, time is up!” Vince smiled and dust off his sleeve in disgust as if she was filthy. Then he walked off in strides in full view of everyone.

Leila continued to kneel in place as he walked away. She bit her lips and then yelled, “I will look for you again! Mr. White, can’t you do it on behalf of the Hunter family?”

He didn’t turn around but when he heard of the Hunter family being mentioned, Vincent glared sinisterly and then said coldly, “Whatever!”

The word chilled to the bones.

Leila looked at him leave and immediately stood up. She didn’t know this time what disaster would she bring to the White family. She didn’t wish to bring the White family more troubles. Her father was already very vexed and was depressed at home. Her sister must be very angry because she couldn’t accomplish her task.

“Leila, did you get it back?” Macey ran over as soon as Leila entered the house. She held onto Leila’s hand and asked anxiously.

Leila shook her head and said, “Don’t worry sister, I’ll look for him again!”

“Didn’t you say that you can get it back?” Macey was immediately upset when she heard.

“Sis, he was rushing for a flight. I’ll go to him again when he’s back!” Leila was determined to pester Vincent. She would not stop until she achieved her objectives.

“Leila, my future is in your hands!” Macey smiled when she heard and hugged Leila while saying, “You must help me to get it back!”

Leila nodded as her expression stiffened. Today she knelt for the sake of her sister and if this can secure her sister’s happiness, then it was well worth it!

Three days later.

At the luxurious study in the villa, a handsome man sat behind the large work table. His grin was cruel as a cigarette wedged between his fingers. The rising white smoke flowed around his chiseled good looks.

Someone knocked on the door.

“Come in!” The low and attractive voice said leisurely.

“Master, Miss Hunter is here to look for you. Do you want to let her in?” Eira asked respectfully at the door.

Vincent was stunned and then grinned, “Eira, which Miss Hunter?”

“It’s Leila!” Eira replied.

Vincent scoffed dismissively. He didn’t expect her to come again.

“Let her in!” He said emotionlessly, only his eyes betrayed his unsettled feelings.

Leila felt uneasy as she was led to the study. She was here to beg him for the sake of her sister and the Hunter family even if it meant the loss of her dignity and being trampled upon.

She took a deep breath and walked into the study, “Mr. White, you’re back from your trip!”

She felt uneasy as she looked in his direction. He had dashingly chiseled good looks, mesmerizing eyes, sturdy nose, thin and sexy lips that grinned mischievously with a hint of ridicule. He didn’t speak

but looked at her with mischief. He raised his eyebrows, took a draw from the cigarette, and then exhaled the thick white smoke.

“Mr. White, please destroy that thing,” Leila said nervously when he didn’t say anything.

She didn’t have much confidence but she had to try because she couldn’t let the White family’s reputation be tarnished.

“How interesting that you are here begging me instead of her. Leila, you should know that I’m a businessman and there is no free lunch!” Vincent smiled cruelly and asked, “Do you understand?”

Vincent’s dark eyes looked at her and his voice started to sound threatening. He leaned back onto the large executive chair as it slid backward. He crossed his legs leisurely.

Leila looked at him carefully and was puzzled as to what Vincent wanted, “You, what do you want?”

The odor of cigarette smoke lingered in the air and it triggered her nervous heart till she coughed.

“Do you really want that thing?” He raised his eyebrows again.

“Yes!” Leila nodded and said, “Mr. White, you have no use of it even if you keep it.”

“Come over!” He suddenly said.

“What?” She was dumbfounded and looked at him.

“Didn’t you hear me? Come over.” He frowned and patted his lap, “Come and sit on my lap!”

Leila felt a chill run down her spine. She noticed that Vincent’s gaze changed to lofty and cool. A strange feeling came over her as she shuddered.

“Don’t you want it?” He asked.

Leila trembled as she had never been so afraid of a person. She was terrified of him at that moment!

“If you don’t even agree to sit on my lap, then leave immediately!” He calmly smiled and grinned mischievously.

She didn’t know why she was afraid of him looking at her. She was also afraid of his voice and every action. But she reluctantly moved towards him although she was unwilling. Eventually, she sat uneasily on his lap. Vincent pulled her leg to straddle over his thighs.

She was wearing a skirt today. When she sat down like that, they…

Her face blushed immediately and struggled to sit upright, “Mr. White, please don’t do this. I know that my sister had betrayed you, but…”

He grabbed her waist and pulled her towards him. He then drew on the cigarette and then blew the smoke onto her face.
