A Moment in Destiny
Chapter 99 Have Much Fun Together

Susan rushed to leave. Sherry chased her out of the restaurant and said, "Sue, are you ok? Celia is always talking before thinking much, but she did not intend to say it. Please don't take it personally." Susan shook her head and saw a car coming near them. She said to Sherry, "It's ok. Sherry, my car is coming. I have to go."

Just that moment, a black BMW stopped and the window was swift down. Sherry saw a good-looking man of middle age was in the car. She should meet him before. She went blank for a moment to try to think where she had met him.

The man said, "Come on."

Susan was going to do it right now and said, "Sherry, bye."

It was dark at night. Sherry could not see the man clearly, just saying, "Sue, see you."

After the car leaving, she was still thinking about something.

In the BMW, Susan sat on the passenger seat next to the driver seat with silence.

The man just checked, "Who is the woman?"

Susan answered, "My friend."

"How do you know her?"

Susan said, "Are you interested in her? I suggest you not to work her. She is William Rowland's girlfriend." The man was more than fifty years old, mature but still good-looking. "Good to know. But what's her name?"

"I don't know!" Susan answered unhappily.

The man asked again, "How about making a deal with me? You can leave me forever if you agree."

Susan asked him with great surprise, "Will you let me go?"

"You know me! Ha-ha..."

Who was he?

Susan seemed to have a fear of him.

Sherry thought again in the mind; she did not understand why Susan and Leon had so difficult time even though obviously they loved each other deeply.

And what did the man get to do with Susan?

When Sherry kept thinking there, William popped up to ask, "What are you doing here?"

"You came back so soon."

William said, "I didn't leave for home and just gave a call to Samuel." He was worried they would have a fight if going home then; that would certainly irritate daddy. Besides, he was unwilling to leave Sherry alone here.

Sherry asked with care, "Is he ok?"

"Not happy. But I told him that he is a good boy and I will pick him up soon. He feels better now."

Sherry was also upset. She said, "Samuel must be sad. I am sorry. This is my fault."

William said, "Don't take all the responsibility by yourself. I am hungry. Let's go to eat something." He did not have any food on the past day, neither had anything prepared in the flight. Then he was eager to ea something.

Sherry said, "Great! I didn't have anything. I just said goodbye to Susan here."

William was curious, "Was she also here?"

Sherry asked with a worry, "Do you know what happened to Leon and Susan? They probably had a misunderstanding."

"It's none of our business. They are old enough to deal with it. Now we only need to mind our trips; let's talk about where to go."

"Samuel is with your daddy. I am afraid..."

"Don't worry. My daddy might think again these days. Well, he loves to have many kids at home. He will be much happier if we can have more babies. It's your urgent job!" Then the smiling William cuddled Sherry to walk to a restaurant.

What William said astonished Sherry whose face turned to be red. She didn't know what to say, just replying, "Are you serious?"

William said jokingly, "Of course. I'd love to."

"You..." She was too silly to say anything.

They took the lift to get to the second floor. Sherry raised her head to see Leon who was cold and unconcerned about anything. He sat with Ashley beside a table; Ashley was talking with him.

Leon looked unhappy.

Ashely glanced at William and Sherry, calling them, "William Rowland?"

Leon turned to look at William and said to him, "Have a seat please."

The waiter helped arrange the dinnerware for the five customers on one table.

Ashely said happily, "Wow, William, this is your girlfriend?"

Sherry lowered her head and tried to deny it, but William said, "Yep."

He did not understand why Ashely was also here to be with Leon. So, Leon and Ashely got to know each other on that dating dinner? Leon appeared to be zoning out just then.

Sherry saw him have a cigarette; he was too depressed to concentrate on the talk on the table.

William had a look at him and asked, "Leon, was Susan here?"

Leon was smoking with nothing to answer soon. The smoke in the air covered some of his face, letting him look grimmer.

After a while, Celia said, "Hey, Leon. There are plenty of choices for you in the world. Don't take her so seriously. It's over." Leon sneered, "None of your business."

Sherry winked at Celia to stop her saying more.

Ashely asked, "Who is Susan?"

Everyone here kept silent.

Leon's smoke covered up himself. Finally, he gave an answer causing everyone to be surprised, "An old friend."

Celia looked at Leon and said, "I hope so." She turned to look at Ashely with doubt; Ashely was indeed pretty and sweet.

Sherry did not see Ashely at all; she would not like to have anything to do with someone from the Jones' family.

Ashely might love to know more about Sherry. She asked frankly and casually, "Hi, what's your name?"

Sherry did not expect Ashely to ask her. It occurred to her that Ashely asked for her name in the same way as they met last time. She did not avoid the question today and answered, "Sherry Murray." Sherry talked about her own name so easily that William also surprised. He knew Sherry did not talk like this very often.

William looked at Sherry with uncertainty. Sherry just gave a smile and said, "Let's get eating. You are so hungry."

Ashely realized Sherry was unwilling to talk with her, but didn't know the real reason. She frowned and stopped talking with Sherry, starting to say to Leon, "Leon, shall we have a drink after dinner?"

Leon had a smoke and nodded, "Sure."

He was so bothered to need a drink as soon as possible.

Celia said with a sigh, "Where will you go? I'd like to go with you."

Ashely did not expect her join, "You will go?"

Celia answered with upset, "Yes. Both of you are single; I am afraid you will have some drunken mistake. I have to go with you."

Celia's words astonished everyone else on the table. It made Ashely embarrassed; she said, "Celia, are you joking?"

William acted as serious as normal though he laughed loudly in his mind. He did not expect Celia to be so witty, just saying, "I agree. She should go with you to drop you off home after the drink." Leon was not in the mood for joking, merely absent in mind.

Celia got to know she should not take the anger out on Ashely; she tried to explain and asked Willan and Sherry, "Certainly I'm joking. How about we going together?"

Just that moment, Liam interrupted them, "Oh, all of you are here. Why didn't call me?"

Sherry looked up at Liam. She stood up to say, "Hi, Liam."

William tried to keep her with him closely. Sherry sat back soon.

Liam saw her sitting beside William whose hand holding Sherry's waist. He said with a smile, "Sherry, long time no see."

The waiter served a cup of coffee on the table; Liam also ordered the food for himself. He had a seat at the same table with them.

He asked William, "My dear Mr. Rowland, when do you plan to apologize to your daddy and go back to work?" Liam always worked overtime recently when William was absent in the office for a week. William answered, "You can also quit your job."

Liam was surprised at his words, then said, "Good idea! I can quit my job. I am exhausted now."

They all got joyful for Liam joining their talk.

Ashely asked Liam with a smile, "Mr. Brooks, we are going to have a drink soon later. Will you go with us?"

"Sounds good! Where to go?"

Celia said tiredly, "A bar where we will have much fun!" In fact, she was worried about her big brother, but was unable to do everything for him. She also rushed to get relaxed from the annoying situation. Ashely gave another suggestion, "Or shall we go to a KTV? We can sing and drink there."

William was hesitated to follow them. He was just back from America without any break as well as doing exercise for a day. Then he was too tired to have a party with friends. What he would like to do was to have quiet time with Sherry.

But Liam said in advance, "Will, don't refuse it. I spent much time on working now. I'd love to have a talk with you. Please go with us."

William had to promise, "Ok. I will go."

After the dinner, they went to the KTV together. Celia and Ashely sang the songs while Sherry was listening to their singing. Leon appeared much lonely in his heart, just drinking some wine. William and Liam were out of the room.

Liam asked, "What happened?"

William said, "Susan was here. But I don't know what happened to them. Leon is always like this."

Liam was ready to call Susan as saying, "I am calling Susan to let her come back. We have to help them now. They would not have a result for the long-term relationship if we didn't give a hand to them." Then he talked on the phone, "Hi Susan, this is Liam. Would you like to meet us in a KTV?"

William was smiling for Liam's call. For the first time, he found Liam greatly loved to arrange a date for the potential couple.

But Susan tried to hang off the call quickly, "No, thank you. Liam. I am busy."

"Hey..." Liam stopped her, "Please..."

Susan hang off the call soon.

William said, "She will not come. I know they have the problem for years. It's not easy to solve it in short time."

"I see. Susan hated to answer the call. Their problem is getting worse. But did they get along well last time when the new restaurant was open?"

William had a sigh and said, "They are just like strangers, not getting updated with anything about each other."

"Yes, they don't care about each other. It's terrible! We outsiders also feel sad for their problem. I have to talk with Leon."
