A Moment in Destiny

“Food stalls?” Rae was a bit stunned.

“You think it isn’t good?”

“No! No!” Rae hurriedly shook her head, “I just think that you don’t seem to be the kind of person who is willing to eat at food stalls!”

“Oh?” Benjamin raised his eyebrows while smiling, “Do I look like an unusual person?”

“You’re a person who is exquisite in all aspects so I can’t tell!” Rae said bluntly.

Benjamin, however, smiled faintly. His eyes that were staring at the front flashed with complexity. He swerved the car and said to Rae, “Someone is following us at the back!”

Rae did not find someone following them but Benjamin found it quickly. Rae’s first reaction was that perhaps it was a colleague of her police force. She was also somewhat muttering in her mind as she was afraid that her colleague would saw her be with Benjamin and then thought she tipped off. However, she actually did not have that intention.

Therefore, Rae immediately calmed down after being torn for a while, “Where?”

Benjamin turned his head to glance at her and said meaningfully, “I thought I had met two teams of people who followed me today but I didn’t expect that I misunderstood you! I didn’t see the one at the back wrongly, my gut feeling is very keen!”

Rae thought inwardly that he really had a keen gut feeling. She indeed followed him and as she was found out, she pretended that she was buying a gift.

Benjamin looked in the rear-view mirror and then the car was abruptly swerved to make a U-turn. This sharp U-turn instantly left the one at the back far behind.

Because of the traffic light, the person following them was blocked at once. But, it was indeed as what Rae thought. The person following Benjamin was the police!

After giving the person the slip, Benjamin’s lips seemed to have a hint of excitement. It looked like he was not afraid at all, but felt very excited.

Rae felt a little strange. Usually, wasn’t someone who was being followed very anxious or jittery and even very scared. This man’s behaviour was really very strange and not understandable.

However, before Rae had time to think about it deeply, she heard the person beside her speak, “I’ve given the person the slip. What do you want to eat later?”

Rae froze, turned her head and met Benjamin’s attractive eyes. Facing these eyes at that moment, Rae had a very familiar feeling. Her sight had a trance but very quickly, Rae regained her presence of mind and said, “Anything, I’m not a picky eater!”

“I don’t expect that Miss Baxter is actually not a picky eater at all!” Benjamin spoke teasingly.

Rae smiled faintly and did not say anything.

Benjamin added, “Rae, why do you have to be a policewoman? Why don’t you go to the company of your family?”

Many people had asked her this question before. Rae’s usual answer was always like this, “It’s my personal preference!”

“Hmm!” Benjamin nodded, “You have a cool personality!”

“Maybe!” Rae did not like this kind of compliment, “Where is Mr Newman from?”
