She could only turn her face away, her cheeks reddened, no longer acknowledging him.
But he turned her face over and forced her to face himself once more.
“Are you done or what?” Finally, Rae could no longer stand it. “I’m going out! I don’t have the time to play games with you…”
She had not been able to finish her words, when her lips were already blocked by Marcel.
When she was finally let go of, it was already five minutes later!
Rae felt that her lips were red and swollen, she had not been able to escape from him at all just now. But he merely kissed her, a passionate French kiss.
Marcel held onto her this time, and whispered by her ear, “You look so pretty today, and it stunned me at one look! I like what you’re wearing very much, but if there were a pair of heels it would be even better! When your leg is better then you can wear some heels! But don’t wear such a short dress, I don’t want anyone else to see such a beautiful pair of legs!”
Rae had a pair of long, slender and well-proportioned legs, with not even an extra inch of fat.
Rae was speechless.
Marcel continued, “I don’t have the time to talk too much with you now, I’m working! Don’t think too much of it, and also, you’re dressed like this. Hurry up and go back! I don’t want other guys watching you again! Be obedient!”
Saying this, he no longer gave her the opportunity to speak and pulled her out of the men’s washroom directly.
When they were out of the men’s washroom, he took a deep look at her, nodded and left!
Rae stood there, and felt an indescribable feeling inside her. He was working? Her lips were red and swollen, it had felt so uncomfortable almost suffocating just now!
She smiled, feeling weak.
Why should she listen to him?
She returned once again to the second floor of the bar. As she was walking up the stairs, she attracted the gazes of countless men.
Downstairs, Marcel who had already returned naturally swept his gaze over and did not miss it. When he saw that the men’s gazes landing on Rae, he frowned, his eyes containing a lot of impatience.
Damned woman, she dared to not listen to him!
She actually came back!
Rae walked up the stairs step by step. As her leg was injured, she was still incapable of walking too fast, so she walked at a not too slow or too fast pace and walked step by step until she reached the booth on the second floor. Seeing a man sitting beside Ophelia, she paused slightly.
Ophelia had already seen her. “Come quickly, let me introduce you, this is Hamish Riley. Hamish, this is Rae, my best friend!”
Hamish was a man who looked quite stylish. He was not extremely good looking, but was already good looking enough.
Seeing Rae, he merely smiled.
Rae knew that this man knew the manners of socialising. If the lady did not reach out her hand, he would never take the initiative to reach out to shake hands.
She reached out her hand politely, “Hello, Mr Riley, I’m Rae!”
Hamish looked at Rae, looking slightly stunned by her. He nodded, smiled and reached out his hand. The two shook hands.
“Hello, Rae, I’m Hamish! You can call me Hamish just like Ophelia does!”
“Sure!” Rae nodded.
“Please have a seat!” Hamish let go of Rae’s hand.
So, everyone sat down.
Hamish asked Rae in a very gentlemanly manner, “What would you like to drink?”
“Juice,” Rae replied.
Hamish paused slightly, as if he had not expected that someone would come to the bar to have some juice!
Ophelia was amused as she burst in laughter. “You crazy man, our Rae is a lady and she normally doesn’t drink, so juice would be fine!”
“Girls like Rae are hard to come by nowadays!” Hamish smiled politely, full of praise for Rae.
Rae happened to turn her head and look towards downstairs, yet she found Marcel’s gaze sweeping over. They locked gazes, in the dim light, she could almost feel Marcel’s anger.
Yet, the woman from just now was leaning on his body now!
She was leaning in Marcel’s arms!
Does this job have to be the same as when they were acting in the washroom the last time?
Would they have to kiss for work as well?
Rae stared at him, and finally she smiled lightly, turning back.
She no longer looked downstairs, and concentrated on conversing with Ophelia and Hamish.
Hamish was very professional, Rae had even asked him about Raphael’s case, and Hamish gave her some tips as well. Yet, there was an extremely low possibility for Raphael to not be sentenced.
Just that about how heavy the sentence would be, that could still be worked on with effort.
This conversation lasted for two hours, when they were done and was getting ready to leave, it was already twelve at midnight!
Rae looked downstairs once more, in the booth downstairs, Marcel was already nowhere to be found.
Her gaze paused slightly, and she smiled bitterly. Would he have to spend the night with a pretty lady again tonight?
Rae did not return to the InterContinental Century City this night, she went back to the Baxter family home.
She stayed the night at the Baxter family home, and went to work as usual the second day. When she reached her workplace, she happened to bump into Gustavo.
“You called me last night, Rae, what happened?” Gustavo asked as he walked over, looking caring. Gustavo was extraordinarily attentive to Rae’s matters. Of course, he had some romantic feelings towards Rae, yet Rae did not have the same feelings towards himself.
Rae recalled that she had asked Sophie to carry out a lab test for her, so it was better not to trouble Gustavo. So she replied, “It’s already solved, it’s alright now!”
“Is it really alright?” Gustavo was a little sceptical.
“Yes!” Rae nodded, “It’s really alright!”
“That’s great!”
At this moment, a colleague passed by her side. It happened to be the peak hour for coming into work at this moment, and Rae found that a lot of people’s gazes were looking at herself. Especially the female colleagues, their eyes were looking at her as if she was the top common enemy of all the females at work.
Now, the people at work all looked at her strangely. Some were piteous, some were waiting for a good show, some were gloating in her despair, and even some were pretending to feel bad for her?
Rae bided Gustavo goodbye and went into the office. She did not see Marcel for the entire morning.
He was absent.
Until at noon when she went downstairs to buy food, when the elevator opened, and he coincidentally was preparing to step inside.
Once Rae saw him, she was prepared to stay silent. But she saw another colleague standing behind him, and she immediately greeted him. “Captain Hopkins!”

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