A Moment in Destiny

Marcel did not say anything while Easton held his breath.

Rae said, "I'll investigate it as soon as possible."

Marcel glanced at Rae. He frowned and remained silent.

The group of people arrived at the dormitory building of Melody Knox again. They were allowed to go in after showing their identity documents to the administrator.

Perhaps because of the death of Melody, the dormitory was quiet.

When they knocked on the door, a tender girl opened it.

Rae remembered her name was Shayla Anthony. Rae had questioned her in the afternoon.

Shayla was stunned when she saw Rae. Then, she realized that three people were standing behind Rae. She took a step back, “Hi, madam.”

Shayla looked Marcel up and down, who was standing behind Rae. Marcel was such a handsome guy. Shayla was colored slightly at the thought. She allowed them to go into the room and stood quietly with her head hanging.

Marcel keenly swept around the room where four girls had been living here.

Each of them had a loft bed. The mattress was on the top while the computer desk and cupboard were below it.

Marcel knew which one was belonged to Melody when he saw it at a glance.

Police officers had taken the belongings of Melody away for investigation, while the belongings of three other girls remained there.

There was only Shayla in the dormitory.

Rae swept around the room and looked at Marcel. She did not dare to question without his utterance.

Marcel went straight to Melody's computer desk. The desk was empty.

He asked thoughtfully, “Where are the other people of your dorm?”

“They...” Shayla was about to talk but blushed in a flash.

Rae could tell how shy the woman was. Rae thought that every woman would blush facing Marcel, a man who was good-looking and attractive.

However, Captain Hopkins seemed to be unaware of it. Shayla had reminded her of a memory. In those days, Marcel had driven many girls crazy when he went back to school, and Rae was one of them.

Marcel was irresistibly handsome.

Shayla wanted to speak but said nothing. Marcel narrowed his eyes and looked at Shayla up and down with a stern sight.
