But the problem was how she got there.
Rae didn't sleep all night.
Marcel didn't call, and she didn't send him a message.
At dawn, she suddenly received a call from Ophelia.
Rae was a little surprised, and her heart raced suddenly.
Ophelia said, "Miss Baxter, how about going out for a cup of coffee?"
Rae felt guilty if she refused, but now she was worried that she would relax her vigilance and say something wrong because she was tired of staying up all night.
So she said in the phone, "Miss Grant, well, I can't leave now. Why don't we make an appointment tomorrow, tomorrow noon, OK?"
Ophelia immediately agreed, "No problem!"
Rae had been sleeping for a long time during the day. She didn't feel energetic until the afternoon!
It was evening for Rae to see Marcel again. Rae, who prepared to cook, was stunned by the knock on the door. Before she put the noodles in the pot, she heard the knock on the door, so she turned off the fire and went to open the door!
After opening the door, she found Marcel, standing at the door with bloodshot eyes!
She got out of the way to let him come in.
Rae hadn't closed the door yet. Suddenly, her arm was caught by someone. Then the door closed. With a twist, she was pressed on the door panel!
Rae was startled, and then Marcel's hot breath came to her face.
Her eyes widened in amazement, her hand against his chest. “What's the matter?" she asked.
He said in a low voice, "You didn't send me a message or call me for two days and one night!"
Rae was lost for words and relieved. It turned out that this was the matter. She was slightly relaxed and said, “I'm afraid you're busy!"
"I'm busy?" Marcel asked, "You are very knowledgeable, but do you have the consciousness to be a girlfriend? Rae.”
"Next time don’t scold me if I call you and send you a message while you’re in the middle of a case. I'm thin skinned and I'll be very embarrassed!" She didn't want to call because she was afraid of being scolded. He was so busy, and she didn't want to make trouble and annoy him!
It seemed that he was not satisfied with her being so sensible!
This sentence was a deviation of understanding.
"Hum!" he snorted. His voice sounded tired.
He pressed his whole body on Rae, and she had to support him. “Go and sit down on the sofa. You look tired!"
"Of course I am. I have been working overtime since yesterday. Can I not be tired?" he complained in an angry tone. Maybe he didn't sleep well and got more angry. “You didn't even call me. My boring work has no fun at all.”
Rae did not speak, and she thought, ‘He did got a bad temper from staying late.
"Have you eaten?"
Marcel shook his head and said, “No!"
"Then I'll cook noodles for you?" she said.
Marcel suddenly stiffed.
Rae was puzzled.
He repeated one sentence, one word by one, and said slowly, "You’ll cook noodles for me?”
Rae suddenly realized what was wrong with her words!
Damn! This was a sentence with ambiguity!
"Ah..." she screamed, and her cheeks were red like a cooked shrimp. What did she say?
She did not know whether she should blame herself for speaking without a brain.
She was embarrassed, and her face was down and she dared not look at him.
"You are bad..."
Her tone was sweet and full of the meaning of being spoiled.
Marcel's eyes deepened as he hugged her tightly.
Then, he asked mischievously, "It seems that my girlfriend wants to live together with me! My bad. Move in tomorrow!"
"I won't!" Rae struggled, took off his arms, went to the kitchen to cook noodles.
Her face was still hot, and she was more embarrassed and annoyed.
"Why not?" he asked suddenly.
"Because I don't want to!" she said.
He said with deep eyes, "I know you are shy, but you can’t refuse me after being invited. I will come to help you move things tomorrow night. It’s a deal."
Hearing this, Rae was filled with mixed feelings, joy, worry... Perhaps she was happier than worried!
Actually this was what she wanted. She wanted to spend time with him as much as she could! She didn't care about the tomorrow! At the thought that she might not have future with him, she blamed her selfishness. If she loved him deeply but things didn’t work out, what should she do?
Thinking of this, she was firm in her mind, and suddenly turned to him and said, "I'll ask the move company for help tomorrow!"
Marcel was surprised, and then he laughed, “My girlfriend is really overbearing!"
Rae blushed, thinking that they would live together tomorrow!

the writing is quite childish, but maybe it's just the translations...
