A Moment in Destiny
Chapter 541 Deep Loneliness

Just when she entered, she saw a lady at the counter running towards her attentively with ambiguous look and pulling her to the counter.

"What's the matter?" Esther looked at them surprisingly who seemed to be nice to her.

"Esther, that..." There were three women standing at the counter, the eldest woman among them, Brandy Tyson gritted her teeth and started to ask, "Is CEO strong?"

Esther blinked her eyes, and she was startled, her mind flashed back to the night. Her face was blushing but still she concealed her embarrassment quickly and then she asked them back, "Why do you all ask SO?"

Brandy swallowed her saliva. "Please tell us, we are really curious about it. See, it is published on the newspaper. It said that you are his woman. How is his skill of sex?"

"The newspaper published this?" Esther was astounded, "Where is it?"

Soon, someone gave her the newspaper. There was a large part on a page with the picture that Elijah Perry placing his hand on her waist at the car park and that picture was titled as 'The Woman of Elijah Perry'.

Esther's head buzzed terribly. She was a little embarrassed. She looked at the newspaper and was stunned completely.

"Esther, you are already his woman. Just tell us, how is his skill of sex?"

Esther blushed and explained immediately, "It is just gossip, this is definitely a rumor. I don't know. Just go and ask him if you want to know. I am going upstairs now!"

The lobby in the morning was a bit noisy. Many people who rushed to work passed by. The sight projected from people around made Esther feel uncomfortable. The news had made her to be famous in the company.

She left in panic and there were a few people watching each other. "Is it really a scandal?"

At Perry Charity.

"Yeah! Esther, finally you reach here. Were you alright yesterday?" Lilah ran over and grabbed Esther's hand as soon as she saw her. "I was wrong yesterday, it's all my fault. I shouldn't do such a reckless thing! Ah, your forehead is injured!"

"Lilah, I'm alright and you're too. That's great!" Esther wrinkled her cute little nose. Her eyebrows and eyes became more active due to that expression.

"You were really reckless yesterday. Hurry up, tell me how you jumped yesterday. I was really startled by your action!"

"This is a long story; I will tell you slowly later!" Esther was now worried about the scandal of her with Elijah. Did that mean that the whole company had known about it? Uh! No! It was the whole country had known it, right?

"By the way, the newspaper, do you read the newspaper? Did you really have something with the president?" Lilah also went gossiping.

"Uh! No, no!" Esther shook her head in a panic.

Lilah rolled her eyes and laughed like a thief. "What are you afraid of? I won't tell others. Is it the truth? Is he good in bed?"

"Lilah!" Why even Lilah asked this! "We are not in that kind of relationship that you are thinking we are! Really!"

"Oh! What do we think?" A man's voice came suddenly.

Esther and Lilah turned at the same time. Both of them saw Ethel leaning against the door of the office, looking at Esther with a pair of peachy eyes, "Good morning, pretties!"

"Ethel, good morning!" Esther became serious immediately. She didn't forget the thing that Lilah told her which was to stay away from that man. Furthermore, she saw him taking off a woman's clothes in the hotel last night. If she hadn't jumped down, the woman would have been scammed by him early. Thus, it could be seen that he was really that simply!

"Why are you coming to work? Don't you only come once a week?" Lilah looked at Ethel in surprise.

Ethel smiled treacherously. "I remember that Esther went back with CEO yesterday, right? There is such news published on today's newspapers. It is for sure that I can't miss this good show."

"I think you just have nothing to do?" Lilah glanced at him. "You are coming at the right time. This fundraising is really too embarrassing. Esther and I were almost ruined. This is obviously not for charity but for sale. Please tell CEO, if Perry Group can't get the funds in the future he could just close the company, I won't bring Esther to raise money anymore!"

"No problem! I'm also looking for him now!" Ethel smiled and talked to the two of them, "What if we go to the top floor together and talk to CEO?"

"I'm not going!" Esther shook her head immediately.

Ethel and Lilah looked at her at the same time. "Don't tell me that that's really something between you and CEO?"

"I had already said no!" Esther denied. "Reporting on work is your business, I am just nothing and have not reached that level!"

Ethel smiled faintly with a playful look in his eyes.

"I haven't reached that level too, just go by yourself!"

"Then you all just wait for the news. It was really thrilling yesterday. She was a super girl who was just like Superman!" Ethel blinked at Esther and turned to go upstairs.

*************

Wearing classic black shirt and black suit trousers and standing in front of the French windows, he looked particularly depressed and lonely. The news in the newspaper made his eyebrows wrinkled. "CEO, Ethel is here!"

"Come in!" Elijah turned around and he saw Ethel walking in.

"Hey, Elijah, good morning!" Ethel entered his office and simply sat on the sofa.

Elijah Perry glanced at him quietly. "Say your thing!"

"I have nothing to tell you!"

"Go home if you have nothing to do!"

"Do you really like the little rabbit?" Ethel started his word with his smiley face.

"You'd better be careful; the old man is about to hand over the family business to your elder brother. How can you still laugh?" Elijah reminded him kindly in a cold voice.

"I didn't intend to participate in their family's affairs. Let's talk about you, the news in this newspaper seems to be real! And the little rabbit refused to come up to meet you just now, do you guys really have something?"

"She came to work?" Elijah frowned slightly.

"Yes!" Ethel blinked and smiled treacherously of a sudden. "Elijah, don't you really have a special preference for that little rabbit, do you?"

No matter what he said, Elijah just took out his phone and called Esther.

Ethel was stunned for a while. From Elijah's expression, it seemed that he really cared of her and it was not that simple between them. Ethel had felt strange when Elijah appeared in Y Hotel suddenly last night.

Elijah's looked angry but he hid it perfectly. The call went through and Esther picked up the phone.

"Didn't I tell you not to go to work?" She was disobedient.

Esther was taken aback, "Why are you calling me?"

"Go back now!" Elijah shouted coldly and then he hung up the phone.

Esther looked at the phone. She frowned and whispered, “What? Do I have to do as you say?"

"Esther?" Lilah pointed to her phone with a surprised expression. She seemed unbelievable, "This, this call is from Elijah?"

"Hmm!" Esther had not realized the situation at that moment and so she nodded casually.

"Oh my God, you just said there is nothing between both of you. If it really does, I am really old-eyed!" Lilah sighed and shook her head. Then, she slammed Esther on her shoulder ambiguously. "Hey! Will Elijah Perry really be with a woman? Isn't he gay?"

When Esther heard that Lilah had linked herself with Elijah again and she knew that both Ethel and Lilah were people who like to join in the fun, she was blushing in embarrassment but still she gave the answer immediately, "Lilah, he is a gay! And he is the bottom. I will call him sister when we are not in public!"

"Oh My God!" Lilah was frozen for a moment. "Really? Really gay?"

"Yes!" Esther nodded indiscriminately, not daring to look Lilah in her eyes as she was afraid that Lilah would discover that she was lying.

Lilah seemed to believe it a little bit. "Oh my God, no wonder he hasn't had a rumored girlfriend over the years. It turns out that he is a gay, Jesus Christ! But it's impossible? He looked like the one staying at the top according to his figure, how can he agree to stay at the bottom?"

"Lilah, don't tell anyone!" Esther didn't want Elijah to know that she was slandering him like that at the back.

"Don't worry, I won't say it!" Lilah promised her seriously. "Let's go, we go to the orphanage to give the check first!"

********************

At Ball Group.

A slender figure stood by the window, holding a newspaper in his hand. A corner of the newspaper was scratched by a strong hand as there was too much forced applied on it. How many times he had imagined standing by her side and imagined that there would be a day that she belonged to him, he would spoil her with his love for all his life, loved her for all his life, but—

The hand that held the corner of the newspaper tightened suddenly and his eyes were stained with pain and grief. But now he was the one who hurt her the most and lost her by himself! He pushed her to the other men by himself.

Thinking of this, he threw the newspaper on the table and picked up his suit. Then, he turned and left the office.

As soon as the door was opened, he saw Winnie who was smiling gently and looking at him.

"Hudson, are you going out?" She was holding a bowl of soup. He was working overtime last night and didn't go back all night, so she delivered the soup for him early in the morning.

"Yes!" Hudson walked away without even looking at her.

"Hudson, can you drink the soup before going out?" Winnie tried to maintain her smile and demeanor.

However, Hudson just left without saying a word.

Winnie bit her lip with tears flashing in her eyes. Then, she raised her head and forced her tears back. When she entered his office, her gaze fell on the pinched corner of the crumpled and obscure newspaper. The tears that she barely held back just now, were finally dripping and flushing down...

Esther and Lilah had just left Perry Group. Then, they saw a red Ferrari parking at the side of the building from a distance. Esther recognized that it was her birthday gift from Hudson but she thought that Lance drove it away last time.

By the time she was in a daze, she saw Hudson getting off the car. Esther was stunned. There was a trace of pain in her eyes when she thought of the words on the phone that day. She just pretended that she hadn't seen him.

However, her heart was already in mess. Hudson had lost weight. She had not seen him for a few days and he looked so thin and exhausted.

She told herself not to look at him but still her sights were uncontrollable and looked over. Both of their sights intersected. In the blink of an eye, lots of things had happened. His sight was filled with pain and despair when he looked at her.

Lilah noticed Hudson. "Huh? Isn't that Hudson? Why did he come here?"

"Let's go, Lilah!" Esther said hurriedly, she didn't want to meet Hudson anymore, she didn't want to hurt Winnie, nor did she want to affect their happy lives.

However, Hudson eyes were fixed on her. He strode over with his cold face. He was still in a black suit and his cold facial features were still full of loneliness.¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶
