A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 916

When Marcel was getting ready to go to work, Rae suddenly asked, “Can I cancel my leave?”

Marcel stood at the door, looking at Rae who was already freshly dressed, and squinted his eyes slightly. He seemed to be expecting for Rae to say something like this, this was a new plan after the last one failed!

Yesterday she had seduced him!

Then what about this morning?

He was afraid of nothing!

He smiled lightly and said, “If you insist, of course!”

Rae heaved a sigh of relief. “Then I’ll go to work, I really can’t take it anymore!”

“Are you sure your foot is okay?” Marcel looked at her ankle.

Rae shook her head, “It’s alright, I’ll be careful!”

“Alright! Let’s go!” He was still a gentleman at this moment, holding her hand, they went downstairs.

The two of them did not speak in the elevator.

Once they reached their workplace, Rae requested to be let off at a hidden spot outside the office, but Marcel refused to do so. “What are you afraid of? You and I are together righteously, would you prefer to hide me and not allow me to be in the open instead?”

“But…” Rae was still a little worried, since the two of them been together not for long. Further, now the two of them would go to work and get off the car together, it might cause rumours in the station and be detrimental to him.

“But what? Whatever I said goes!” He announced mightily, without stopping his car, he already drove to the basement carpark at the station.

When the two of them appeared from the elevator together, indeed the eyes that watched them have changed!

She sighed silently, why did this Marcel have to be extraordinarily high-key?

Rae spent the entire morning under the thoughtful scrutiny of everyone else.

Easton saw her coming, he first frowned and then asked concernedly, “Rae, is your foot injury better? Didn’t you say that you’re taking two weeks off? How come you’ve already came now?”

“I don’t have anything else to do, so why not gather my days off and see to it after!” Rae explained.

Easton looked at her and continued, “You should still pay attention of your foot injury, don’t leave any old injuries or else you would suffer afterwards!”

Facing Easton’s sudden concern, Rae felt a little overwhelmed by the flattery and she kept nodding. “Thanks Easton, I’ll take note of it!”

Easton gave her another look, nodded, and then only he left.

Rae merely felt strange, why Easton would change his way of treating her, and for what? Would it be that she had come to work with Marcel today? Was Easton observant as well?

Yet, which one of the people here were not an observant person?

Which one of them were not a crime fighting elite?

It should be!

Rae forced herself to not care about it.

But she thought of something as Easton was turning away, and she called out to him, “Easton!”

Easton turned around, looking at her.

Rae walked over and asked, “The interrogation with Ophelia, has it been done now?”

Easton heard her question and turned his eyes, as he replied, “Rae, I’ve always wanted to advise you on something, hear me out for once!”

Rae stunned, and she nodded.

Easton continued, “In the workplace, there are some things that should be asked, and some that shouldn’t!”

Rae paused right there, looking at Easton in the eye.

He suddenly laughed, as he said, “Ophelia haven’t been interrogated. Captain Hopkins said to hold her up! Also, Captain Hopkins had said that you shouldn’t participate in the interrogation!”

Rae was slightly surprised, what did Marcel mean this time?

She was still in shock, while Easton had already moved on, “I still have something on, Rae, I’ll leave first!”

Rae even forgot to nod.

Once Easton left, Rae sat on her chair and did not move.

Marcel walked over from the other side of the corridor at this moment, all the way to her office. He glanced at her but did not greet her, and instead called Lexie who sitting opposite her.

“Lexie, come and take down some notes! We’re going to interrogate Ophelia!”

Rae looked at Marcel, her eyes carried a complicated emotion!

What on earth had he meant?

Was he telling her outright, that she should not participate in the case related to Ophelia?

Lexie immediately stood up and answered, “Alright, Captain Hopkins, right away!”

She packed her things and was about to follow Marcel.

Yet Rae started at this moment, “I need to talk to you about something, Captain Hopkins!”

Marcel turned, now only he turned his gaze onto Rae. His brows furrowed, seeming a little displeased.

Rae walked over, Lexie felt that something was not right and she immediately declared, “I have to go to the washroom first, I’ll come back in a while!”

Lexie escaped.

Rae raised her head to look at Marcel, her eyes were calm. Despite she had too many questions inside, she still held them in. Although she felt wronged, she could not show it. The last time she had asked and Marcel had replied humiliatingly, this time should be the same!

So, this time Rae was smarter. She looked at Marcel and suddenly smiled.

Marcel saw her smile and was confused, as he raised an eyebrow, “Is there anything?”
