A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 916 Suddenly Very Hurt

When Marcel was getting ready to go to work, Rae suddenly asked, “Can I cancel my leave?”

Marcel stood at the door, looking at Rae who was already freshly dressed, and squinted his eyes slightly. He seemed to be expecting for Rae to say something like this, this was a new plan after the last one failed!

Yesterday she had seduced him!

Then what about this morning?

He was afraid of nothing!

He smiled lightly and said, “If you insist, of course!”

Rae heaved a sigh of relief. “Then I’ll go to work, I really can’t take it anymore!”

“Are you sure your foot is okay?” Marcel looked at her ankle.

Rae shook her head, “It’s alright, I’ll be careful!”

“Alright! Let’s go!” He was still a gentleman at this moment, holding her hand, they went downstairs.

The two of them did not speak in the elevator.

Once they reached their workplace, Rae requested to be let off at a hidden spot outside the office, but Marcel refused to do so. “What are you afraid of? You and I are together righteously, would you prefer to hide me and not allow me to be in the open instead?”

“But…” Rae was still a little worried, since the two of them been together not for long. Further, now the two of them would go to work and get off the car together, it might cause rumours in the station and be detrimental to him.

“But what? Whatever I said goes!” He announced mightily, without stopping his car, he already drove to the basement carpark at the station.

When the two of them appeared from the elevator together, indeed the eyes that watched them have changed!

She sighed silently, why did this Marcel have to be extraordinarily high-key?

Rae spent the entire morning under the thoughtful scrutiny of everyone else.

Easton saw her coming, he first frowned and then asked concernedly, “Rae, is your foot injury better? Didn’t you say that you’re taking two weeks off? How come you’ve already came now?”

“I don’t have anything else to do, so why not gather my days off and see to it after!” Rae explained.

Easton looked at her and continued, “You should still pay attention of your foot injury, don’t leave any old injuries or else you would suffer afterwards!” Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Facing Easton’s sudden concern, Rae felt a little overwhelmed by the flattery and she kept nodding. “Thanks Easton, I’ll take note of it!”

Easton gave her another look, nodded, and then only he left.

Rae merely felt strange, why Easton would change his way of treating her, and for what? Would it be that she had come to work with Marcel today? Was Easton observant as well?

Yet, which one of the people here were not an observant person?

Which one of them were not a crime fighting elite?

It should be!

Rae forced herself to not care about it.

But she thought of something as Easton was turning away, and she called out to him, “Easton!”

Easton turned around, looking at her.

Rae walked over and asked, “The interrogation with Ophelia, has it been done now?”

Easton heard her question and turned his eyes, as he replied, “Rae, I’ve always wanted to advise you on something, hear me out for once!”

Rae stunned, and she nodded.

Easton continued, “In the workplace, there are some things that should be asked, and some that shouldn’t!”

Rae paused right there, looking at Easton in the eye.

He suddenly laughed, as he said, “Ophelia haven’t been interrogated. Captain Hopkins said to hold her up! Also, Captain Hopkins had said that you shouldn’t participate in the interrogation!”

Rae was slightly surprised, what did Marcel mean this time?

She was still in shock, while Easton had already moved on, “I still have something on, Rae, I’ll leave first!”

Rae even forgot to nod.

Once Easton left, Rae sat on her chair and did not move.

Marcel walked over from the other side of the corridor at this moment, all the way to her office. He glanced at her but did not greet her, and instead called Lexie who sitting opposite her.

“Lexie, come and take down some notes! We’re going to interrogate Ophelia!”

Rae looked at Marcel, her eyes carried a complicated emotion!

What on earth had he meant?

Was he telling her outright, that she should not participate in the case related to Ophelia?

Lexie immediately stood up and answered, “Alright, Captain Hopkins, right away!”

She packed her things and was about to follow Marcel.

Yet Rae started at this moment, “I need to talk to you about something, Captain Hopkins!”

Marcel turned, now only he turned his gaze onto Rae. His brows furrowed, seeming a little displeased.

Rae walked over, Lexie felt that something was not right and she immediately declared, “I have to go to the washroom first, I’ll come back in a while!”

Lexie escaped.

Rae raised her head to look at Marcel, her eyes were calm. Despite she had too many questions inside, she still held them in. Although she felt wronged, she could not show it. The last time she had asked and Marcel had replied humiliatingly, this time should be the same!

So, this time Rae was smarter. She looked at Marcel and suddenly smiled.

Marcel saw her smile and was confused, as he raised an eyebrow, “Is there anything?”

Rae shook her head. “Nothing, your shirt button is loose!”

Rae pointed to his collar.

Marcel frowned again.

“Help me to button it!” His low voice was serious, without even a bit of meaning to joke around.

Rae was a little surprised, this was the office, she was afraid that others would see. Yet Marcel had already lowered his head and came closer, wanting her to button it up for him.

Rae buttoned it up for him hurriedly, and then she took a step backwards.

Marcel looked at the way she hurriedly put distance between them and was very displeased.

“Do you have anything else?”

He naturally knew why Rae had called him, but he just refused to say it out. He was waiting for Rae to beg him, but Rae just refused to ask.

At this moment, Rae looked calm and her expression was indifferent, as she shook her head. “Nothing else! Go on!”

Marcel’s eyes squinted slightly, but he smiled. “Alright, then I’ll leave first!”

At this moment Lexie was already waiting in the corridor a few meters away!

Marcel left in large strides, Rae who was behind him watch as he left, without saying anything else.

Marcel brought Lexie to interrogate Ophelia.

Rae stood in the corridor, a breeze blew by and she merely felt chilled to the bone.

What on earth was going on with Ophelia?

Why would she hand Karina the wine?

“Rae,” A low call interrupted Rae’s thoughts. By the stairs on the side of the corridor, Gustavo walked over in large strides, the bright blue shirt worn on his body was rather striking. This Gustavo was often fond of wearing brightly coloured clothes recently, once he tidied up his figure was actually rather fit. As he looked at Rae he was surprised, “Why did you come to work? Aren’t you on leave? Is your foot injury better?”

“No! I just have nothing to do, so I wanted to come work!” Rae explained simply.

Gustavo looked at her foot and shook his head in much disagreement, “This is too risky, a foot injury can be a life time matter, if you walk with a limp afterwards it would be so ugly!”

“It’s alright!” Rae shook her head and smiled. “Oh, have you dissected Karina’s body?”

Gustavo shook his head, “Don’t mention it, I wanted to do the dissection and I was already doing it. Then Captain Hopkins went and tell our head that he doesn’t want me to do the dissection, and Joseph in our team was asked instead. Joseph himself didn’t even want to do so, I don’t get what Captain Hopkins wants? I wanted to do it and he refused, the ones that didn’t want it he gives it to them instead! I have some opinions about him, I’ll bring it up after!”

Rae instantly understood Marcel’s meaning, he was leaving her out on all aspects.

Why on earth would he do so?

Had he started to suspect herself?

She suddenly felt very hurt!

Rae stopped there for that moment unmoving, and her gaze halted at this moment until her arm was clenched hardly by Gustavo, as his slightly confused voice rang. “Rae, what’s up with you? You’re so

absentminded, as if you’ve broken up with someone! You can tell me anything, we’ll find the way to solve it together!”

“I’m fine!” Rae shook her head, her gaze landing on Gustavo’s hand that was still clenched on her arm, her eyes cold and calm.

“Rae, what on earth happened to you?” Gustavo’s hand tightened. Being ignored by Rae like this, Gustavo’s face instantly had a worried expression, a heavy worry. His grip on her arm could not help but tighten, “I’ll help you to solve it!”

“Really, it’s nothing! Thanks, Gustavo!” Rae frowned. She did not like to be gripped like this by other people, her eyes looked slightly uncomfortable as she flung her arm that was gripped by Gustavo.

“Fine then, if you don’t tell me, forget that I asked!” Being flung away, looking at his large empty hands, Gustavo was a little pissed off. Especially when he saw the coldness in Rae’s eyes, the bit of anger hidden in his eyes flared up hotly.

What was he angry about?

Rae merely felt suspicious, she retracted her gaze indifferently and sat down, no longer pondering on it.

At this moment Rae’s phone suddenly vibrated, she opened it and found an unfamiliar message. On it was written – take no heed of irrelevant things, be mindful of yourself, act fast according to plan!

Such a sentence, even if it was not addressed, Rae still knew who had sent it!

Kane, her father was indeed crazy!

Poisoning!

It had already been bad that she took over someone else’s name, but now she had to poison someone!

Rae felt that for her as a civil servant to make this sort of mistake, it would surely be unforgivable!

Yet, how could she explain to her father?

At this moment, a message showed on her phone again suddenly. It was an MMS, a movie ticket was on it.

Rae paused, hesitating, while suddenly a colleague called her, “Rae, your parcel! Monty is calling out downstairs!”

Rae immediately replied, “I’ll go get it now!”

She did not know why he sent that photo of the movie ticket, she merely felt a little strange. Her father had indeed gone crazy, had he sent her the movie ticket to ask her to go for a movie?

She went to take her parcel with confusion, and after receiving it she returned to her office to open it. Indeed, she saw a movie ticket, it was the same one as the photo in the MMS on her phone.

Rae frowned, as she sunk deep into her thoughts.

She looked at the time, the showing time for this movie ticket is at three o’clock in the afternoon. Leave must have been taken to go out at that moment, and everyone was at work at that timing, there would be the least people at the movie theatre! Further, this movie was a foreign movie that had showed a few years ago, not many people would have watched this sort of older movie, that was why he sent this sort of movie ticket!

Rae was deep in thought when the movie ticket in her hand was suddenly snatched away by someone!

Rae froze and turned back instantly, she then saw that Marcel was standing behind her, and she jumped.

Marcel was already squinting his eyes and looking at the ticket, then he frowned and asked, “You liked this sort of old movie?”

Rae could only nod, “I haven’t seen it before!”

Marcel looked again at the envelope of the courier service, there was only the recipient’s name on it.

Rae, phone number, and nothing else. The section of the sender was blank, something flashed in his eyes as he asked in seemingly casual manner, “Girlfriend, surely you shouldn’t have bought just one ticket?”

Rae wanted to say that it was not her that bought it, but who could she say that had given it to her? Marcel would surely asked who had sent it!
