A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 844 No Romance

Rae paused and nodded.

YS Club was known as a wife swapping club.

It was said that many people came here to try it.

"Perhaps they are swapping their girlfriends. Let's wait here. Maybe we'll see something else."

With that said, Marcel's telephone vibrated.

He looked at it and answered.

"Copy that!"

In Rae's line of sight, Marcel climbed up the window. Rae waited for him for half an hour. When he came back, he said to Rae. "I'm right. They exchanged their girlfriends."

It was three o 'clock in the morning. Marcel, Rae, Sean and Jessica Fox were on the car. Rae kept silent. Sean and Jessica were talking to each other. They burst into laughter sometime. Marcel suddenly felt annoyed. Why did he take Sean and Jessica?

Rae sat in front, looked outside the window with blank stares.

Marcel took Sean and Jessica home. Then he sent Rae

Rae was thinking about what Marcel had done and felt depressed. She was absent-minded when she got off the car, so she bumped into car roof by accident.

She cried subconsciously.

"Are you alright?" Marcel looked at Rae who was rubbing her head. He unfastened the seat belt and checked whether Rae got injured. "Why are you so careless? Are you hurt?"

Looking at his concerned gaze, Rae nodded. His gaze was so gentle. Rae's heart beat fast. She felt it hard to breathe and stared at Marcel's clear eyes.

"Let me take a look." Seeing that she was in a daze, Marcel touched her forehead.

He touched her forehead with his cold fingers. Rae shivered as if she was struck by lightning. Her face reddened. She was so excited.

"I am fine." Rae blushed and stepped back. She looked at the man before her in puzzle.

"Can I take you to the door and drink some water?" Marcel said with a smile.

Rae immediately shook her head, "It's midnight. You should go back to sleep!"

She refused him!

Marcel was a bit annoyed.

Rae didn't like to be associated with Marcel and deliberately kept away from him.

"I have to work overtime!" He said, "I have to handle something in the horse ranch."

"But…" Rae looked up and glance at Marcel's smile. She nodded and her heart beat fast again.

Marcel saw Rae's reluctant look from the corner of his eyes. He curled his lips. He was in good mood tonight.

Rae walked and Marcel followed her. Rae's body kept stiff. She looked back at Marcel and suddenly found it hard to figure out what Marcel was thinking.

When Rae went in, she put on slippers and found there were no men's slippers. She said, "Come in."

Marcel walked in and his leather shoes looked very bright on the white floor.

Rae went to the refrigerator to take some drink, "What would you like to drink?"

"Water!"

Rae took a bottle of mineral water to him. Marcel drank it and looked around Rae's home. The living room was not big, but was clean and tidy.

Marcel looked at the shoe rack. He was satisfied that there were no men's slippers on it.

He put the bottle on the table and said, "Go to bed early. I'll get on with my work!"

Hearing that, Rae said, "Marcel, I can work overtime with you!"

"No need. You'll get wrinkles if you stay up late!" Marcel said.

"I don't care!" She could work overtime. She got more excited as they were about to solve the case.

Marcel threw a sharp gaze and squinted. There was a glimmer of light in his eyes. His feelings couldn't be sensed. He was silent for a long time and said, "I care!"

Rae's heart skipped a beat. She straightened up her back and stared at Marcel. She didn't dare to guess at the meaning of his words.

He said, "I come to City B to break the case. It's rare to see a beautiful colleague. I don't want you to have wrinkles. If so, the male colleagues could not appreciate the beauty and would do less work!"

Rae breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't imagine herself as the one he loved. Otherwise, she would be very embarrassed.

"I have to go!" He spoke.

"OK!" Rae didn't insist on following him.

Marcel didn't see Marcel off. He went downstairs alone. Rae closed the door to take a bath.

Someone knocked on the door suddenly.

Rae thought it was Marcel who came back. She opened the door without a second thought, but the comer was Raphael. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

He stood at the door with a smile, "Although it is midnight, I wish you a happy birthday. Can I invite you to a birthday cake?"

"No need. I have had some! I'm very tired today. I didn't get off work until three o'clock. Now I just want to sleep!" Rae wanted to rest and thought about the case.

Raphael didn't mind at all, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Rae, you didn't want the flowers that I gave you."

With that said, he looked around Rae's house and didn't see the flowers. He realized that Rae didn't take them back. He was a little disappointed, "You don't want my flowers. That's okay. As your next- door neighbor, I grow up with you. You can't just have a cake with me?"

"I have eaten some cake. I don't want to have it anymore. It's too sweet!"

"Come to have birthday noodles. It won't take you much time!"

Rae was a bit guilty, but she didn't accept his invitation. "When I finish my work, I'll treat you, but I'm too tired and need some sleep!"

Raphael did not say anything.

"Raphael!" Rae called his name and looked at Raphael's chin. She felt a bit sorry to Raphael.

The night breeze blew in the corridor.

They were silent.

Looking at Rae's pitiful gaze, Raphael put on a gloomy look, but nodded. "Alright, you go to sleep!"

Raphael didn't insist. He turned around and walked towards his house. The cold vibe surrounded him.

Rae sighed since she knew that Raphael was very angry.

She looked at him from a distance, but did not catch up with him. She didn't want to be affected by Raphael. Though they were friends and she didn't want him to be sad, she couldn't allow him to have a surge of love for her.

She'd better make it clear before Raphael fell in love with her.

After taking a shower, Rae was lying on the bed and failed to fall asleep.

She took the memory card. There was her photo on it. She was confused about how she knew Philippa and why the photo appeared after so many years had passed.

Thinking for a long time, Rae put down the memory card, lay on the bed and fell asleep at dawn.

She got up in the morning and prepared to leave. When she opened the door, the door of Raphael's house was opened.

Rae smiled and wanted to greet Raphael, but she was a little surprised when someone came out.

She didn't know the woman that came out.

A woman!

A beautiful woman.

Why did a woman walk out of Raphael's home in the morning?

His new girlfriend?

Rae breathed a sigh of relief. She thought too much. It was impossible for Raphael to love her. He wouldn't be constant in love for her.

She didn't have to worry that Raphael was into her anymore.

That woman could come out of Raphael's house in the morning. They must have a good relationship.

Rae got it and didn't say hello to that woman.

But that woman smiled at Rae. Perhaps it was because Rae was Raphael's neighbor and that woman was very polite. Rae gave that woman a smile, nodded and left.

Rae went downstairs, while that woman didn't move.

When Rae was in the bus stop, she saw Raphael's car passing by. That woman was sitting in the passenger seat.

Raphael kept a straight face and that woman put on a gracious smile. That woman threw a glance at Rae as if implying something.

As the car got farther, Rae smiled and thought feelings were unpredictable.

She felt relieved.

When Rae went to the workplace, she saw Marcel walking out with a tired look. He seemed to stay up late. He was wearing the same suit with folds on it.

"Marcel!" Rae walked over and greeted him, "Do you find that donkey?"

"No!" Marcel said.

"But I find its son." A smile touched his lips. "Its son is neither a horse nor a donkey!"

"What is it?" Rae was a little puzzled.

"It's mule. It has a donkey and a horse as its parents."

Rae saw what he meant.

"What should we do next?"

"I'll go back and change my clothes. We can talk about it later!" Marcel took a few steps, paused and turned to ask her, "Can you drive?"

Rae was stunned and nodded, "Yes!"

"Take me back. I stay up all night. I am afraid that I might bump into the rail.

"But I…" Rae wanted to say that she did not sleep well and was very tired. She didn't want to drive at all.

"I'll be back later, so you need to take me here." Marcel had made a decision and didn't allow Rae to refuse him.

Since Marcel was her leader, Rae could only nod. She took the key in his hand and went to drive the car.

She got driving license for several years and seldom made a drive. Her family gave her a very luxurious car. It was not appropriate to go to work by that car, so she never took that car. In addition, she held a grudge against her family, so she didn't want to live a lavish life as her family.

Marcel opened the car door, got into the passenger seat and closed his eyes. "The 9th building, Block B, InterContinental Century City. You know the route. Wake me up when we arrive!"
