A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 838 Is this Considered an Invitation?

Since the investigation was still ongoing, everyone returned back to their work.

When it was time to get off work, no need evidence was uncovered, so the case was at a stalemate.

By nine at night, Marcel sent everyone home.

Of course, Marcel drove Rae back home.

Rae had been working overtime and almost never went home by herself, so she had no idea who the stalker was, nor did she have time to investigate.

As Marcel dropped Rae off at her apartment complex, he kindly reminded her, “This complex is too full of people from all walks of life. You should move out as soon as you can!”

Rae knew he was right; even Raphael had said so more than once.

“Thanks for the reminder, I’ve been thinking about it!”

“Where do you want to move to?” Marcel asked; there was a tiredness in his voice, evidence that he had been quite busy these past couple of days as well.

“Not sure yet!” She didn’t even have the time to go house hunting.

“How about Century Paradise!” He suggested.

Rae paused in surprise; was this considered an invitation?

From her supervisor?

To live in the same neighborhood?

She was a bit touched.

Her heart was beating rapidly.

She thought a while, then finally said, “After this project is done. I haven’t had time to go look for a new place yet. It’s getting late, you should head back as well, Marcel!”

Marcel nodded and didn’t say anymore.

After she bid him goodnight, Rae turned around, as Marcel started up the car engine.

He only drove about fifty meters before he parked to the curb.

As soon as Rae put her key into the keyhole, the door across from her apartment opened.

“Back home?” A man said from behind her, which gave her quite a scare. She turned around quickly and saw Raphael.

His tall figure leaned by the door arch. He had on a casual shirt, with two of the buttons undone, which revealed his slender neck and tanned skin. He had a laidback, devilish air about him, which was actually quite charming.

Rae knew quite well that Raphael was quite a man. If she didn’t have someone she liked already, she’d probably have fallen for him.

He was quite a rare catch, always admired by others. Rae actually admired him quite a bit!

Looking at him standing in the apartment opposite from hers in his chilled manner, Rae was a bit at a loss for words. “Raphael, did you seriously move here?”
