Marcel was shocked when he saw her crying. Seeing the grievance, helplessness, and even despair in her eyes, Marcel suddenly regretted a lot.
He pulled her over, wanting to hug her.
Rae tried to get rid of his hand, but failed because he held her hand even tighter, with no intention to let her go.
She wanted to vent her grievances to him despite of him being her boss or her boyfriend at the moment. So she got rid of Marcel's hand. She was laughing and crying, her smile being so desperate as if a little flower on the top of a cliff, so pitiful and so fragile.
Her smile was so hard to watch for Marcel. He blurted out and said, “I'm sorry!”
He may have acted with undue haste and shouldn't have forced her that way.
Rae was shocked. Was he saying sorry to her? !
His apology made her immediately regain her consciousness and looked rationally into the annoyance, guilt and self-accusation in Marcel's eyes. Wasn’t it the greatest compromise this arrogant and conceited man had even made?
She shook her head and answered, “You did nothing wrong. It’s not your fault.”
“Then, who is to blame?”
“Maybe it’s the movie!” Rae made a reason indiscriminately and calmed herself down slowly.
He didn't rush to go. Instead, both of them were standing on the corridor, stiffly upright.
Marcel suddenly pulled her in front of him and hugged her.
Rae was stunned, unable to express her innermost emotions. Without thinking, she stretched out her hands and wrap Marcel's waist when he pressed her face gently to his chest!
Rae didn't struggle. She leaned on him quietly.
The tenderness of this moment couldn’t not eliminate the sorrow in her heart. She still felt that the two of them were so strange to each other. It was not an exaggeration because their inner distance was so over their physical distance at the moment.
At this time, footsteps came from the other end of the corridor. Rae quickly got up and wanted to fled Marcel’s arms. However, Marcel grabbed her lips and kissed deeply regardless of anyone in presence. Originally, He intended to kiss her like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water, but as soon as he touched her lips, he couldn't help but get addicted. He grabbed Rae's lips and indulged in the kissing until he was satisfied and let her go.
Rae gave a gasp of surprise shyness. With her face flushed, she’s so pretty in Marcel’s eyes!
Marcel lowered his head to look at her.
At the moment, the footsteps in the corridor was coming closer.
She raised her head and looked to the person approaching and then she found it’s Kane.
Kane was standing there in the corridor, looking at her with an angry look in the eyes, and the sharpness in those eyes was about to bruise Rae's bones and raise her ashes with ruthlessness.
His eyes were so full of hatred that really frightened Rae.
Rae's face instantly turned pale.
Her body was caught by the stiffness concurrently. She then slowly lowered her head.
Marcel glanced back and saw Kane. In the meantime, Kane had already collected his expression and walked towards them expressionlessly, passing by them without saying a word! Nor did he look at Rae. Although Marcel felt strange, he didn't think much of it.
Kane had already left, but Rae was still immersed in shock.
In her mind, she could never ignore the look in her father's eyes then, making her feeling so disgusted with herself!
When Marcel saw Rae's face being so pale, he lowered his head to cover her eyes and then took another look at the receding figure. “What's wrong?”
Rae snapped back to her senses and whispered, “It hurts!”
“Does it hurt?” Marcel raised his eyebrows, “Where does it hurt?”
Rae felt pain all over her body, but what hurt the most was deep in her heart.
However, how could she told him that she was suffering because of her indignant father, who was disappointed at her to the extreme!
Marcel noticed that she looked even worse, therefore asked again with concern, “Where exactly do you feel uncomfortable?”
“It hurts too much last night!” Rae said haphazardly. Indeed, it was too painful last night. She was having problems walking today, not speak of her feet already hurting. With what happened last night, her felt even more uncomfortable!
Marcel opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say!
The feeling last night was really beautiful. The tightness made him want to lingering. He even wanted to experience it again. Thinking about it this way, he couldn't help but want to continue.
It's just that her performance last night reminded him suddenly that she was still a girl rather than a woman. So what about her past?
Marcel frowned slightly, then returned to his senses. He hugged Rae, and then said,“Okay, don't be sad, now let’s go watch a happy movie and order a box for couple!”
Rae's face was pale. She wasn’t in a mood actually.

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