But Marley Hughes was back now, all the supervisors in charge of every department became cautious because they were afraid of Marley. Few years ago, they had experienced his working attitude in Hughes Group. While Hughes Group faced its first crisis, he fired the heads of some departments to increase the employeesâ work enthusiasm. In order to get rid of that crisis, he made everyone feel threatened. After that, he left Hughes Group and went to America to open his own company. At this time, Hughes Group encountered another crisis again which was insoluble. Even after he sold his newly developed company, he was still unable to reverse Hughes Groupâs situation. So, he had no choice but to marry a woman from a wealthy family.
Sylvie Mccarthy opened her notebook to note down the important points. Her speed of typing was fast but she was using a notebook, not a shorthand machine.
When a few departmental managers saw her, they looked at her meaningfully.
When Marley saw her noting down with hands, he frowned and said deeply, âSecretary Sylvie, I hope that you can learn how to shorthand!â
âYes!â Sylvie raised her head to look at him.
âThe shorthand machine in the secretariat is not a decoration!â Marleyâs tone was sharp and his expression was solemn.
âYes!â Sylvie could only answer in that way and said respectfully, âI am sorry that I havenât gotten used to it. But, I will learn how to shorthand in a short time.â
Then, she said to the other colleagues, âI am sorry for disturbing the meeting time.â
âJot down properly!â Marley said again.
âYes!â Sylvie quickly typed it out.
Tyler Cooper was close to Sylvie and turned his head to look at Sylvie. He saw Sylvie typing rapidly and she did not even look at the monitor. She was typing with her agile fingers to write down each and every detail. Her typing speed was as fast as a typewriterâs pace.
Tyler was slightly amazed and laughed secretly. If Marley saw that she was able to record every meeting details, would he ask her to learn shorthand?
After half an hour, the meeting ended.
All the people left continuously and Sylvie was sorting out the meeting minute. After typing out the last few words, she saved the document.
Marley looked at her and said deeply, âHave you written everything down?â
âYes!â She said.
âFollow me!â Marley said again deeply and stood up. He walked out the meeting room and directly walked back to his chairman office.
Sylvie could only follow him to his office. She stood in front of his office table with the notebook in her hands. Marley was still sitting on the chairman chair.
âCan you learn how to shorthand?â He asked.
âMaybe!â She said it softly.
âBe a well-prepared person and learn everything, especially be proficient in a few things!â Marley looked at her, âAlways remind yourself that life is a process of incessant learning. Not only learning, you need to enjoy the learning process. Can you make it?â
Sylvie calmed herself down, âYes.â
âAlright, you can get out now. Print out the meeting minute and let me see how many have you recorded.â While saying, he suddenly changed his tone to a soft one, âHope that you donât make me embarrassed.â
âOh! Yes!â Sylvie left embarrassingly.
Outside, everyone was busy doing their stuff.
She walked back to her working area and printed the document. Then, she went to the chairman office again.
When she handed over the printed meeting minute to him, Marley took it and slightly looked at it. He was astonished and put down the document, âYour typing speed is fast!â
âNot bad!â Sylvie said.
âBut, I still hope that you can learn how to shorthand!â He said.
âYes! I will learn it!â Sylvie said.
âYou may go out!â He said it deeply.
After she left, Marley could not bear from raising the corner of his mouth. She was not useless since she possessed some abilities. She was actually able to follow the rhythm of his speech.
He smiled while shaking his head. When he recalled something important, he took out his phone and dialed a number. âOfficer Martin, itâs Marley speaking. I need your help and letâs meet up this afternoon!â
âAlright! I will meet up with you later!â After putting down his phone, Marley lost in his thoughts.
Without knowing the reason, after Sylvia walked out from the chairman's office, the feeling of pressure had filled everywhere in the secretariat. Aila also showed an unfriendly expression.
Maisy Hill and Daria Cox showed a smiley face towards her and then continued busy doing their stuffs. They buried themselves in working and their tables were filled with documents like analysis reports. When looking at such a busy scene, Sylvie also felt extremely fulfilled.
When it was almost time to get off from work, Marley came out from his office and walked towards Sylvie and said softly, âYou go back yourself after work. I have something to do so I won't go back to eat dinner!â
Then he left! She could only say, âYes.â
After half an hour. While getting off from work, someone shouted, âEh? Is he Ernie Hughes? The eldest son of the Hughes family! The chairmanâs cousin!â
They could see a black car parked in front of the building and Ernie was sitting inside the car with the door opened. He faced towards the entrance of the building and when he saw Sylvie, he showed a smiley face to her. He waved at her with a ruffian smile on his face. âHi, Sylvie!â
Sylvie was obviously stunned, why would Ernie be here?
While Sylvie was puzzled, Ernie had got off his car and walked towards her. Sylvie was sure that he was here for her.
She was standing there and Ernie walked towards her closer with a evil smile on his face,âHi, Sylvie, I am looking for you to go for dinner. Is it alright for you?â
âNo need!â Sylvie replied indifferently, âI still have something else, goodbye!â
After saying that, she walked past him and wanted to leave.
âWhy? Dare not?â He raised his eyebrows.
Sylvie said indifferently again, âWhy do you look for me?â
âNothing! I just want to buy you dinner!â Ernie said.
âIt is unnecessary for you to do so since we arenât in the same direction!â
âHa! Without listening, how do you know that we arenât in the same direction?â Ernie showed a tempted smile.
Sylvie was still calm, âI am sorry, I need to go!â
While looking at this scene, the other employees felt strange because Ernie suddenly appeared at Hughes Group. In addition, he was looking for the chairmanâs wife, Sylvie.
Sylvie left him alone again and the others were looking for fun.
Ernie looked at the back of Sylvie who was leaving and squinted. Then, he turned around to get in his car and reversed the position of the car. With a strong step on the pedal, the car sped out.
When Sylvia was walking towards the bus station, a car was approaching her with a low roar sound. She stepped away subconsciously. Suddenly, the black car stopped abruptly. This was like an old record which was playing a soothing melody that skipped suddenly. It was so abrupt and extremely discordant.
When she was still stunned, Ernie, who was in the car, got down, âSylvie, get in!â
When Sylvie saw him again, he got down from the car and directly pulled her into the car.
Sylvie was shocked and struggled to get rid of him. However, his hands were extraordinarily powerful and he warned her, âSylvia, if you donât have dinner with me, do you believe that I will kiss you on the spot? Can you see them? There are dozens of people looking at you right now! If Marley knows it tomorrow, then our relationship will become mysterious!â
âLet go of me!â Sylvie did not have expression. Ernie was so shameless to the extent that he dared to threaten her in such a way.
Ernie stared at her and said steadily, âLetâs go to have dinner with me!â
âI donât have time!â Sylvie sneered. âMr Ernie, do you think that I am as free as you?â
âThen, I need to kiss my adorable and beautiful sister-in-law on this road! Your lips were so red and as small as cherries. You have red and beautiful lips as well as amazing eyebrows. Sylvie, you are pretty! So, I need to kiss you!â Suddenly, he smiled evilly and came near to her.
âyou are shameless as the saying goes âteethlessâ !â Sylvie started to feel panicked and worried and her eyes were turning away from him.
âI am sorry, my sister-in-law. My teeth are clean and white, why can you call me shameless?â Ernie smiled playfully and while saying, he opened his mouth to show his white teeth with his fingers. âCanât you see it? I can go to film an advertisement. Last time, someone looked for me to shoot a toothpaste advertisement!â
His teeth were indeed white and long. The cracks between his teeth were equal and his white teeth were blazing as well as dazzling for real.
But, why was he here? Sylvie could not bear from asking, âIf you have something to say, letâs talk about it here!â
âNothing! I just want to have dinner with you. Do you wanna go?â He asked with a smiley face.
At that moment, there were people coming out continuously and they were looking here at a distance. Each of them was showing an astonishing look and someone even sought for something interesting.
Sylvie panicked uncontrollably and she wanted to get rid of Ernie but it seemed difficult for her.
Ernie looked at them with a smiley face but Sylvie found that his smile was not genuine.
Ernie was similar to Marley. Both of them had sharp eyebrows, a pair of bright eyes and a tall nose. Also, their lips were thin and appeared to be sexy.
The smile at the corner of their mouths were filled with playfulness and sarcasm. Then, he turned his eyes to look at Sylvie, âLetâs go? Dear... sister-
in-law!â
She looked at him. He looked at her too.
He just looked at her with his playful eyes and raised his eyebrows while waiting for her to react.
Finally, Sylvie saw that the number of people behind was increasing so she nodded. She sighed deeply and said, âAlright! Letâs talk about it in another place. I believe that you have something to say!â
After listening, he indeed let go of her. âLetâs go, dear sister-in-law!â
Sylvie got in his car and Ernie started the engine then moved forward. The employees of Hughes Group who were standing behind were astonished until their eyes were dilated.
âMy God! She gets into the gangsterâs car!â Maisy was worried about her.
âMr Hughes is a playboy and Sylvie gets into his car unexpectedly! Do we need to inform the chairman?â
âItâs none of your business!â Aila was like waiting for something to happen, âHe is the chairman's cousin, why are you worried? What could happen?
Also, this is off work time and they are from Hughes family. We should not mind others' business, letâs go!â
At that moment, Tyler drove his car out and saw that scene coincidentally.
A Moment in Destiny ï¤Chapter 718 Deep Love between the Husband and Wife The convenient Bride ï¤Chapter 414: There Is Nothing Happier Than This (Ending)
Predestined Marriage ï¤Chapter 1718: The End Ernie drove his car to the direction of West and they were getting further away from the city.
âIs this necessary?â Sylvia said it indifferently, âErnie, stop the car. If you have something to say, just say it here!â
âHaha! I donât! Since you are in my car already!â Ernie showed a ruffian look, âDonât you ever heard of one sentence? You will never get down the pirate ship after you boarded it. You are in the same situation as the saying! I am the thief who steals woman. Lady, letâs show your smile to me!â
âWhat are you doing?â Sylvie never saw someone who was so despicable and she rolled her eyes to look at him, âCouldnât you say it properly?â
When Ernie listened to it, he showed a smile on his face, âGreat! I will talk to you properly once we get there. Donât worry!â
He drove the car rapidly and beat a few red lights then moved to the direction of East Hill.
Sylvia was starting to feel panicked when she realized that they were almost heading to East Hill. Since the sky was turning dark soon, why would he bring her to East Hill? âStop your car quickly! If not, I will jump down from the car!â
