A Moment in Destiny

Raphael’s bright and spacious office showed off the magnificence and elegance of the Gill Group. With an identity like his, how could he possibly be the murderer?

Even though he didn’t have a motive, he was still a suspect. Rae’s sixth sense was telling her that Raphael wasn’t a suspect. But Marcel made her bring his men here, and she couldn’t disobey him.

"Higher-up's order!” Rae declared, “Raphael I believe that you are not the murderer. Yesterday I suspected that you slept with Joanna because you were suave and always had women around you. But you are not the murderer. At most, you just slept with her last night!”

Rae said straightforwardly, but Raphael scoffed upon hearing her.

Rae raised her head and looked at him. He tilted his head slightly and looked at Rae. He said slowly in a low voice, “So you don’t trust me!”

“It’s my fault that I suspected you yesterday. But you also said that something was going on between you and Joanna!”

"So what of it?” Raphael arched his brow.

“Sorry!” Rae apologized.

“Whatever!” Raphael looked at Rae coldly. It seemed that it didn’t matter to him anymore, whether she believed him or not. He was indifferent since she didn’t trust him from the start.

"But it matters to me!” Rae walked up to him and looked him into the eyes, “Raphael, can you come with us to the police station and talk about what happened yesterday?”

"No!” said Raphael coldly.

Rae felt distressed. If he didn’t come with her, he could be charged with failure to comply, and she didn’t want to arrest him. She tried to convince him again.

“Raphael...”

She was interrupted the moment she said his name, “What if I say that I am the killer??”

“Impossible!” Rae shook her head immediately. She even grabbed his hand out of agitation, “Raphael, this is not funny!”

“Are you not curious about why I was together with Joanna last night?” It seemed like Raphael already knew how Rae would react. His voice was deep with no sway in emotions. He glanced at Rae’s worried face and the look in his dark eyes were complicated. He seemed like he was pondering about something deeply.

Rae looked at him seriously and locked her gaze onto his cold yet stern face. He wasn’t as handsome and unruly as Marcel, but he was elegant and indifferent in his own special way. He had a dignified and arrogant air around him. He was indeed the president of the Gill Group.

"I’m curious, I’m curious about everything. But I’m also worried. Raphael, I’m worried about you!” Rae’s head hurt and she didn’t want to lose her friend.

The look in Raphael’s eyes changed slightly. They looked like a bottomless pit, at the bottom of the pit it seemed like his emotions were raving, but they were quickly suppressed.

Rae looked blankly at Raphael. She noticed a brief look of helplessness and sorrow in his eyes. He then lowered his head and stared at her hand which was grabbing his. He didn’t utter a word.

Rae grabbed his hand tightly and didn’t let go. She didn’t let go even when Raphael tried to fling her hand away.

He looked at her and their eyes met. It was quiet.

I will look into it. We are handling a tricky case, I’m sorry that I cannot tell you more details. It’s my job and I have to keep it confidential. Just come with me to the station and tell the police what did Joanna tell you last night and what you guys did. I’ll take care of the rest, okay?” she said sincerely.
