"I don't have the key!" Rae put the key on Marcel's shoe rack.
Marcel frowned on the other side of the phone, "Where's the key?"
"It's on the shoe rack in your apartment!" Rae was shocked, Marcel hasn't gone back once?
"Come get it tonight at nine," Marcel said.
"All right!" Rae was hesitant but it was better to get it back the soonest possible. If the drug had a huge side effect and injured Marcel, she would feel guilty her entire life.
Nine o'clock at night.
Rae arrived at Marcel's apartment. She had a mixed feeling that was beyond description now. She stood in front of the apartment and took a deep breath before pressing the bell. After three beeps, the door opened and Marcel appeared at the door. Rae became nervous out of a sudden, "Sorry for disturbing you, Captain."
Two people that were once intimate speaking with a tone like now made Rae thought she was a hypocrite.
But this was the only way to keep herself from getting close to Marcel.
Marcel remained silent, he moved his body to let her through.
Rae walked in feeling embarrassed when they crossed over, she could even hear his breathing.
Rae was stunned. She could now differentiate his emotions through his breathing.
It was obvious that Marcel was angry, he followed Rae into the apartment as he banged the door behind him.
Rae's pulse was racing as if she was riding on a roller coaster that suddenly stopped at the highest spot, hanging in the air. She turned her head and saw Marcel stood behind her, they were so near to each other that she could feel his breath on her cheeks, the situation was intense.
Rae was shocked and fell a step behind and turned to look at Marcel again.
Marcel on the other hand looked at Rae in displeasure, as if like he looked down on her, his glance was full of despise.
Rae knew and prepared to be laughed at or ridiculed by him. But she knew the reason he treated her like this was because of Adam. If there was nothing that happened between Rae and Adam years ago, she wouldn't be in a relationship with Marcel. To Rae, this was something unavoidable.
"I'm truly sorry to have disturbed you this late, I'll go get my stuff and leave right away," Rae said in embarrassment.
As she spoke, she bent down to reach for her slippers and found that her slippers were no longer there; and she recalled that she threw it away the day she left.
Marcel's face stiffened as he observed Rae. This woman cleaned the house so thoroughly, leaving no trace behind as if she had never appeared in this apartment before.
He noticed this the moment he stepped in, he was already anger by this and got even angrier when he saw her. All the anger he had been suppressing exploded, he mocked, "Why did you come back after decided to leave? What's the point of coming back now? Using you left something here as an excuse to come back here again. Do you think I'm not aware of your intention?"
Rae was stunned, he misunderstood indeed.

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