Rae nodded while thinking that she could do it herself too! As his friend, she could definitely accompany him to overcome those obstacles!
Being blurred about what Rae had said before, she could only nod and admit, “Raphael, I wouldn’t change my promise!”
Raphael was clearly stunned upon hearing those words, his expression turned even strange before he smiled softly, “Rae, you have said before that if you couldn’t find your love and I can’t either, you will marry me when I am thirty years old!”
Rae was stunned, but inside, she secretly blamed Rae for her promise. ‘Didn’t she too easily make a promise?’
But she was Natalie! She couldn’t do it!
But now, she couldn’t say anything! She could only laugh bitterly, “Oh really?”
“Are you going to deny it?”
“No!” Rae shook her head.
“Then good!” Raphael stared at Rae who nodded her head thoughtfully, “Well, is the promise still working?”
Rae looked at Raphael who was full with expectations in his eyes, and surprisingly she could not say anything to refuse.
“Thank you, Rae! If you need me one day, I will do anything for you!”
She looked at the sudden determination in his eyes and whispered, “Raphael, I am not doing this for anything!”
“I know!” He suddenly reached out his hand and held her hands tightly.
Rae tried to break free from him but his grip was too tight.
“The Gill’s Group might face something recently and there is something that cannot be hidden behind! If my father hurt Joanna, I’m sure that Officer Hopkins won’t let him off the hook! If he didn’t, I think you and Officer Hopkins would definitely get his innocence back! Go back now and I really have to go back to the office!”
Rae nodded gently. “I hope it’s not the old master Gill!”
She was still in deep thought when she returned to her apartment. She hurried to get her interrogation records back when thinking that it was still in the interrogation room but then she was stopped by a shout.
“There is no need to go! I’ve already brought over the interrogation records for you!”
It was naturally Marcel’s voice.
Rae was very embarrassed and self-condemned as she was afraid that she was going to be criticized again!
She blushed slightly and turned her head to gaze at the man behind her. There seemed to have a lofty and inscrutable aura inside his handsome and airy face while with a hint of insightful acumen.
“Captain Hopkins!” She was ready to be criticized.
Who knew Captain Hopkins left her a sentence. “Come to my office!”
“Yes!” She hurriedly followed his footsteps.
There was a strong smell of coffee when she entered Marcel’s office. She was stunned when she saw a delicate coffee cup on his desk that was smelling good that seemed to be just brewed!
Rae looked at it a few more times which was then naturally noticed by Marcel as he sat down in his chair and pushed his coffee cup forward. “Do you want to have a cup?”
Rae hurriedly shook her head, “No, I don’t love coffee!”
Marcel frowned, then picked up the coffee and took a sip. Seemingly still reminiscing, he then cleared his mouth and frowned, seeming to be very dissatisfied with the taste of the coffee.
“Sit down!”
Rae hurriedly sat down on the sofa, and at this time Marcel said, “What did Raphael say to you just now?”
He asked so directly that it made Rae who was not prepared well, froze for a moment as she couldn’t say anything! She had promised Raphael, but she was frightened and didn’t open her mouth to answer for a while when facing Marcel’s sharp and serious eyes.
Marcel’s face was no longer friendly as before with some displeasure shown in his eyebrow. He lowered his head and shook his coffee cup, “Rae, I have roughly guessed what did Raphael say. So, whether you say it or not, I have already expected it! But if you want to tell me, you can get a good performance, if not, I can understand you too! However, I will make things harder for you!”
Rae knew what Marcel meant and she said hurriedly in an eager voice, “Actually, there is really nothing! Raphael said that he appreciated me for trusting him and that we are the best of confidants!”
“Confidants?” Marcel thought about the words and smiled suddenly. “I believe what he told you about this, but, is there anything else?”
Biting the corner of her lips until it turned pale, Rae then spoke weakly, “Nothing, what was said is all about the personal matters between him and me. We don’t even mention those words during the interrogation again!”
Marcel looked at her steadily. Yet, her death-like expression made his eyes dazzle like stars that made people suppress!
“Talking about personal matters? Rae, are you trying to fool me?”
Rae was stunned while shaking her head with an expressionless face. “I don’t! Captain Hopkins, you don’t bluff me either!”
