A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 836

“Rae, you all have always been occupied!” In Raphael Gill’s mind, he had never seen Rae sitting idle. Rae became busier after she joined the criminal police team. She was getting busier and busier, even busier than him, the manager. He wondered what she was doing all the time.

“Yeah, those are all the criminal cases, I am very busy now!” Rae chose a seat by the window.

The waitress sent the menu to them, “What would you like to have?”

Rae took the menu and put it at the front of Rae, “You take the order!”

Rae just ignored the menu and took orders directly, “Please serve four dishes for us within 10 minutes and let the chef figure it out by themselves, I am short of time!”

The waitress seemed to be used to that situation, he nodded and smiled, “There are some ready-made dishes. I will serve it for you right now! Do you need any drinks?”

“No, thanks!”

Just as the waitress walked away, Rae asked Raphael, “Why are you so free? I thought you have to spend time companying your girlfriend!”

“We broke up!” Raphael said.

“When did it happen?” Rae was not surprised by it because it was not the first time he broke up with his girlfriend. He was that kind of playboy!

“Don’t mention it, the new would replace the old. So, do you want to be my girlfriend?”

“Then break up with you after a few months and we can’t even be friends anymore?” Rae raised her eyebrows and asked him back.

“Rae, I will be faithful in love. If it were you, maybe I can consider having unswerving love!” He seemed like telling the truth and also lying, people couldn’t see through the reality from his face.

Rae didn’t care about it, she just smiled. “Forget about it, I don’t have that much spare time for it!”

Raphael’s lips were pursed with a faint smile. He laughed, “I know you will say that!”

The waitress served the dishes. There were all cold dishes. Rae couldn’t wait anymore and started eating.

Just as she took a bite of the beef and beef offal, she received a call from Easton.

“Rae, Captain Hopkins announced that the meeting will be at 12.10 pm, please come on time!”

“Alright, I am going now!” Rae raised her hands and looked at her watch, the time was 11.55am and she needed five minutes to walk back. Thus, she sped up her eating.

“Duty?” Rachael’s gaze fell on Rae’s face. There was a trace of loss showing on his handsome face. It was just the same as usual, her meal had always been disturbed by this and that. He couldn’t remember how long had it been she hadn’t had a proper meal with him.

“Yes!” Rae nodded and she didn’t mention Raphael’s expressions. She just spoke while eating, “Look at me, I am just too busy. Raph, I am sorry. I will treat you a meal when I am free to console your hurtful emotion due to your broken love!”

“Just go! Leave after finishing your meal, the reason that I come here today is to tell you something! Rae, I rent a house that opposite the place you stay now. If you don’t want to move, I can just be your neighbor!” Raphael just said it casually.

Rae was startled. He really wanted to make the words that he said yesterday become true?

“You—”

Raphael stopped her from saying a word, “Rae, I can lend you the condo located over Golden Water Residence if you agree to move out from the place you are staying now!”

“You actually don’t have to do this.” Rae’s interest seemed to have reduced, the aroma of the food seemed to disappear too. She also lost her appetite and put down her chopsticks. “Raph, I know that you're concerned about me but do you know that I am under stress when you are doing this? I will not go to your Golden Water Residence condo. I can only afford the rental here, the rental of the other places is not on my budget list. But I think I am also going to move out from this place soon!”

There was no one following her back home yesterday but she had to be on alert since she had discovered someone had followed her.

“Alright!” Raphael said.

“I am leaving now for the meeting!” Rae stood up when she was talking.

“See you tonight!” Raphael nodded.

Rae was stunned for a while and looked at Raphael’s handsome face. To be honest, she was touched and grateful. However, she dared not to get closer to him as she was afraid that her real identity would be discovered. She was afraid of revealing her own characteristics. She was suppressing her emotions now, not letting her inherent qualities be exposed. She just felt that it was too harsh for her to persist in it!

Raphael didn’t miss the confusion in Rae’s eyes in the flash. He stood up and put his hand on her shoulder. He patted her and said, “Let’s talk about it later!”

“Sure! I am leaving!” Finally, Rae strode and left the restaurant. She was dashing towards the office.

As soon as she entered the office, she saw that everyone was gathering in the meeting room. She walked towards there hurriedly and took a look on her watch to check the time. Luckily, she was just on time.

Just as she went in, Marcel was walking from the corridor which was in the opposite direction to her. The room was in silence at the moment.

Marcel’s cold eyesight swept across Rae’s eyes. He looked more indifferent from his eyebrows and it seemed like he just felt disgusting when he saw her.

Rae was puzzled by his glance. What happened?

Did she provoke Marcel of anything?

Rae slightly lowered her head and pondered for a while. Then, she raised her head quickly and looked into Rae’s eyes. She was sure that she didn’t do anything wrong and so she didn’t have to behave like she had done something bad. She just stared at him directly and her action made Marcel look more indifferent!

He was showing his cold face to everyone and spoke indifferently, “Let’s investigate the case of Philippa and Melody!”

Only then Rae knew that Braeden and Alondra were arraigned in the morning but they refused to say a word. The detention period for them was less than eight hours and they would need to be released within 24 hours if there was no evidence!

The meeting didn’t last long, the contents of the meeting were about to allocate duties.

By the time, Gustavo came in with his hand holding a dozen of documents and he seemed very tired.

“Captain, I have done a comparison for the donkey’s DNA. The things that we are looking for are not over there!” Gustavo was getting a bit frustrated. He and his henchmen had been working hard for such a long time but in the end, all their effort was just in vain, they were so fatigued to face that result!

Marcel frowned, “Ask someone to coordinate the traffic police, go and check all the road junctions whether there is any vehicle escorting donkeys to leave some time ago!”

The meeting just lasted for not more than 10 minutes, tasks were assigned and then the meeting came to an end.

They walked out of the meeting room one by one. Rae was the last one who stepped out of the room.

“Rae, you stay!” A low deep voice of a man rang from her back.

Rae was taken aback. She turned and looked at Marcel. She saw that her Mr. Right was showing a cold facial expression that seemed like going to make the whole place frozen. Thus, Rae was not sure that whether he was talking just now.
