A Moment in Destiny

There was a sense of sarcasm in the corner of Marcel’s mouth.

Rae felt a little upset because she did not mean anything at all. Therefore, she quickly explained, “I’m talking about the thick and big fried dough sticks!”

Who knew that it was okay not to explain. The more she explained, the more impure was her motive.

Marcel laughed a little and smiled, “I’m talking about the fried bread stick too, what are you thinking about?”

Rae was getting annoyed and remained silent. She looked outside of the car window while unfastening her seat belt to get ready to get out of the car.

“I didn’t mention about eating soymilk and fried bread stick!” There was an uncomfortable voice coming from behind. It just irritated anyone who was rushing for work in the morning.

Rae turned herself around immediately and stopped herself from getting out of the car. She turned her head around and looked directly at Marcel. His handsome face was glowing like a radiant of light.

“Captain Hopkins, what do you want to eat?” Her tone suddenly calmed down as she turned around. After all, she was a policewoman therefore her mental quality was considered as a pass.

“What do you think?” Marcel snorted while putting his hand on the steering wheel.

Rae was startled. Why would he ask her about what he wanted to eat? Was he being crazy?

“I have already eaten. I don’t know what Captain Hopkins wants to eat. I’m sorry. I can’t suggest anything to you!” Rae lowered her voice, she did not like the way he acted.

“Did you have breakfast with Raphael just now?” Marcel asked, he did not sound moody.

“Yes!” Rae nodded.

As soon as the words were spoken, Marcel stopped talking without replying. He started the car and drove towards the work place.

Rae felt a little subtle and ineffable. She sighed a little. When the car was about to arrive at the work place, she said softly, “Captain Hopkins, you won’t be able to hold on without eating!”

“It’s none of your business!” Marcel sounded cold.

Rae was held back by his words, there was a sense of self-mockery in the corner of her mouth. Oh, Rae! You were not his someone special. Why did you care so much?

In the end, she did not understand what was going on today. Marcel came to pick her up but he did not want to eat. What did he want then?

When they arrived at the work place, Marcel went to park the car. Rae stepped out from the care and replied coldly, “Thank you, Captain Hopkins for bringing me to work. Next time, I will take the public bus to work by myself!”

She walked upstairs as she finished talking.

Marcel narrowed his eyes and looked at her coldly. He was not feeling comfortable because everything was not under his control.

His colleagues who worked overtime and reported the current progress of the case during the morning meeting. Marcel started to give a new instruction.

Rae did not receive any news in the morning, she also had been following up the current progress of the case.

She was looking at the materials when Marcel called to her.

“Rae, have you checked about Joanna’s personal background?”

Rae answered honestly, “There’s no news at the moment!”

“Quick!” He replied.

“Yes!” Rae replied professionally.
