A Moment in Destiny

This was the other side of Marcel.

Rae took a deep breath and walked towards his office.

When he returned to the office, it was already ten minutes later, and Rae was waiting. When he came in, he glanced casually at Rae, while Raw stood by the side respectfully.

Marcel sat on his chairs and raised his head to look at Rae, seeming to be deep in thought.

Rae did not know what to say for the moment.

Marcel said, “You’ll be very busy for the next few days so do rest more and don’t need to mind about what happened just now. The next time something like this happens you can report it to me, and I’ll handle it!”

Rae stunned, hearing his solemn and proper tone, she instantly felt touched inside.

His support and care made her feel that this place was less cold. Since she became Rae, this was the first time that she had felt warm and touched like never before, and it was more than what anyone or anything had previous made her feel.

Yet, if he had not invited her for a one night stand this morning, it would be more perfect. Now, Rae secretly did not dare to go too near with Marcel, as under his ascetic demeanour was the nature of a rascal-like beast in human clothing that was deeply hidden.

She had heard the news during the afternoon. Tomas and Andre were transferred out of the crime investigation team, one serious demerit and were given serious warnings. The Director General had even called for a meeting specifically for this matter, to tell comrades that were out to crime scenes and out for investigation to watch their behaviour and to not forget their discipline and standard procedures. In the case of violations, the standard treatment would be termination.

As Rae was always in and out of Marcel’s office and had stayed for a rather long time inside, while Marcel would call on Rae for any matter, eventually it was natural that this would attract a lot of secret attention.

Further, as Tomas and Andre were demerited, the people who were secretly observing Marcel and Rae had grown.

At this moment, Rae could not care for this. In fact, she did not want to care.

Shayla’s testimony had made her recall Rae’s death as she calmed down, thinking of what Rae might have faced. Perhaps Rae had faced the same kind of thing which Melody and Phillipa had faced as well, this sort of threat, and thus Rae was murdered. She could not figure it out, even if she had guessed it she did not dare to face it, did not dare to handle it. She thought that she was betraying her uniform, and had betrayed her own conscience.

Her conscience was suffered and interrogated greatly. She asked herself over and over again, whether a revenge like this right or wrong?

She could not face it.

At the moment, her mood was very low and depressed, and could not cheer herself up for the entire afternoon. Perhaps her mood was gloomy and Marcel had realised it. In the afternoon near the end of work, Marcel dialled the interior phone line and called her to go to his office.

When Rae entered, Marcel was sitting behind his office desk. He raised his eyes looking at her, looking very striking.

As Rae went in, she did not walk to a position near him. From afar, she asked, “Captain Hopkins, you were looking for me?”

Marcel did not speak but merely stared at her, his focused look was indeed mesmerising, and the words he spoke showed his care, “Why? You’re not interested?”

“A little!” Rae did not hide this. She felt that it was better not to lie before someone like Marcel. Firstly being it was exhausting to lie, and secondly he was an excellent observer. Never-ending questions were also an issue, so being straightforward and honest was better than anything else.

“Being put down by your colleagues?” He looked at her, seeming to smile while not really smiling.

Rae looked at him and saw that his eyes had an intimidating glimmer, thus she replied, “I wasn’t put down but I was gossiped about. I do feel a little unable to handle the damage, but I also feel that it’s not a big deal, so I’ve been feeling worried. Further, I practically didn’t sleep last night and I’m exhausted!”

Marcel changed his posture. He crossed his arms and put them on the table, while remaining expressionless, “You have worked a lot overtime these few days and didn’t rest well, thank you for your trouble!”
