A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 825

“Oh! Goodbye Captain Sutton!” Rae Baxter sent him off while she looked helplessly at the documents in her hands; should she report it? It’ll be unprofessional and undisciplined of her not to report it… on the other hand she was scared of reporting this. She contemplated helplessly for a while till she forced herself to knock on Captain Sutton’s previous office door. This office was small, but it currently belonged to Captain Hopkins.

“Come in!” said a deep and soothing male voice. That voice made Rae Baxter’s heart jump wildly.

Rae Baxter took a deep breath, calmed herself down before she pushed the door, as soon as the door opened, she saw a slim figure standing by the window. She was unsure about what he was thinking about, but he was definitely deep in his thoughts.

“Captain Hopkins, I would like to go over the progress of the report with you!” said Rae Baxter.

Marcel Hopkins turned around and looked at Rae Baxter with sparkling eyes, he nodded, still standing with his hands on his hips.

When Rae realized that he did not say a word, there was nothing else she could do except smile, she dared not look at him, afraid that she would look like an idiot. “Captain Hopkins, I have the report for you to look over!”

Marcel Hopkins said nothing about the report, but bluntly asked, “I’m not used to using things someone else has used before; Rae, can you clean up my office?”

Rae was too stunned to realize Marcel had called out her name till she put the report down, she fetched water to clean his desk and suddenly thought about it, and asked him, “How do you know my name?”

He just looked at her, then he lowered his eyes and slowly smiled warmly. He causally asked, “Isn’t Rae Baxter your name?”

Rae blinked with surprise and felt a little weirdness inside of her. She only nodded and answered, “Yes, my name is Rae Baxter!”

“I am a police officer; wouldn’t I be failing at my job if I didn’t know your name?” Marcel’s question made Rae freeze up for a moment, speechless, she looked at him. Why wasn’t he asking me about Natalie Graham?

“Why are you still stunned?” Marcel Hopkins summoned her to continue working with his eyes.

Rae clutched on to her cleaning cloth like a zombie, okay, the Police Officer was terrific at his job, she had stopped fighting her doubts.

Suddenly, the house was very quiet, Marcel had turned around to look at the scenery outside while Rae cleaned, it felt like everything was standing still.

The whole office was so quiet Rae felt her own heart beat, she blinked unconsciously, he didn’t want to hear the report, he wanted his office to be cleaned first, was this handsome man germophobic?

She didn’t know him before either, and, where was his girlfriend?

Why was he suddenly in City B?

Rae was very confused.

“Pay attention to your work!” a voice snapped, and shocked Rae.

She frantically looked at Marcel, just realized that he was still looking at the scenery outside, did he have eyes on the back of his head?

“Oh!” She dared not look at him again, she looked down and continued to work at whatever she was doing, and then she asked, “Shall I give everything a wipe?”

“Yes!” was his short answer to her. He thought about it again and said, “I am germophobic.”

Germophobic?

Rae guessed that, but she was still a bit shocked, therefore she quickly looked up at him.

Marcel was not wearing his uniform, and he had only arrived for a short period of time, his uniform had not been tailor made yet, it must take some time for the uniforms to be tailor made.

However, by just looking at him, one could feel his elegance and extravagance.

He was wearing an exquisite iron grey shirt, it made his complexion and skin tone look very good, it didn’t make him stand out in a bad way at all, not every man can wear iron grey shirts and exude this kind of intricate sense of style.

He had rolled up his sleeves to his arm and a black watch stood out, it looked not cheap. His cufflinks look delicate, his fingernails are well trimmed, his pant suit was ironed properly, with no creases.

He didn’t look like any police officer, he looked like a refined businessman, rare and blue blooded with his attention to detailed clothes!

The truth was, he was displaying cleanliness and germaphobia in every part of him!

Rae was surprised about his honesty about his germaphobia towards himself.

“Then, you will be disgusted at the things I’ve touched too!” Rae felt this way.

However, Marcel said, “No, you’re an exception!”

She felt her heart thump wildly repeatedly.

“Why?” Rae asked subconsciously.

“You, you’re more pleasurable to look at!”

Marcel’s answer surprised her and left her speechless.

Luckily, someone knocked on the door at this time, saving Rae from this embarrassing and awkward moment.

“It’s open!” Marcel said calmly.

Easton Holder walked in and reported, “Captain Hopkins, the police on the phone says that a female corpse has been found in the remote mountains in XC District!”

Rae looked at Marcel Hopkins subconsciously for a moment.

He looked directly at Easton at the door. Standing in front of the empty space of his office desk, from Rae’s point of view his side profile looked overconfident, so handsome it made one breathless.

“Send out the police force, and you too Rae, Easton you choose two more people, get in touch with the forensics team!” Marcel commanded.

There was nothing else Rae could do except throw down her cleaning rag and follow the patrol police.

New to the department and already sending out troops, Marcel was so dedicated!

He took big and fast paced strides, his vigorous muscles were wrapped in his pantsuit, he wore black leather shoes, definitely around size 44 to 45, oh such big feet, as soon as he received the report he had turned into a completely different person, unlike just now when he was speaking slowly and elegantly, he was now very serious, swift and strict.
