    She could not tell that either!

    Rae was in dilemma at that moment, she could not even find an answer to tell Marcel.


    She could only smile awkwardly, as she replied, “Then what do you suggest?”


    “Who sent the movie ticket?” Marcel shook the movie ticket in his hand, “Or did you buy it?”


    Rae followed his words and replied simply, “I bought it!”


    “Well?” Marcel frowned and without any change in expression, he said, “Then good, let’s go watch it


    together this afternoon! It happens that I too, haven’t seen this movie!”


    Rae only felt that her back was full of cold sweat, as she smiled. “Alright!”


    She could only reply like this.


    Marcel smiled as well, but that smile made Rae felt chilled to the bone.


    To lose the awkwardness, she asked, “Aren’t you interrogating? Howe you’re done so quickly?”


    “Yes!” Marcel replied, not knowing whether he was denying or affirming, the meaning in his words were


    hard to guess at the moment.


    Rae knew that he had meant to iste her, so she naturally did not dare to pursue further!


    She looked at the movie ticket that was in Marcel’s hand, thinking that she should text her father


    quickly or else it would be exposed. Marcel took the envelope of the express courier again and


    examined it, the handwriting on it were not of her father’s, she did not know whom he had asked to


    send this ticket.


    “Rae, do you know Ophelia?” Marcel put down the envelope and put the ticket on top of it. He raised


    his head to look at Rae, his eyes examining her.


    Rae stunned, “We just met!”


    “Just met?” Marcel repeated this sentence, his words filled with meaning.


    “Yes!” Rae nodded.


    Marcel startedughing.


    Rae was shocked inside, what was heughing about?


    Heughed, and then he finally continued, “If you and Ophelia are friends, I rather don’t mind letting her


    off easy. But if you’re not, then…”


    He stretched his sentence, but did not continued his following words.


    Yet Rae heard the threat in his words.


    Rae smiled lightly as well, “Since when does the fair and just Captain Hopkins learn to let people off


    easy?”


    “You haven’t answered me!” Marcel said.


    Raeughed.


    She was asking herself whether his actions now were normal, or that he had already been suspecting


    her? Had he actually expressed even the slightest feeling towards her? She had given herself to this


    man in such a short amount of time, yet he seemed to think that it was very normal! But for her, it was


    the most precious first time!


    His behaviour made her dare not to think. She was afraid to recognise a truth, that them being together


    had no love but only desire!


    Yet, it had already came to this, so what could she do?


    Her identity had destined for them to never have an ending.


    She smiled silently once more, her smile was bitter and sad as she replied, “We knew each other like


    we have met a long time ago, I don’t wish for anything to happen to her! If Captain Hopkins can let her


    go easy, then I’ll be fully grateful! If you can’t, I won’t get angry either, since you’re just doing your job.”


    Hearing this, Marcelughed instead and did not express anything.


    Rae smiled as well.


    But they both knew that at this moment, although their smiles were big, it could not fight against that


    unbreachable gap in their hearts. It was a tall wall that could not be climbed through.


    At this moment, they were so close yet so far!


    But Rae rxed instead.


    If Marcel had really given her some favour at this moment, or had beenpletely open towards her,


    then she might still feel guilty. Yet now she felt a lot more rxed. At least in the aspect of feelings,


    Marcel had not given it all!


    Then, if one day they broke up, he would not have really felt sad!


    Rae thought, this was worth to be d for as well!


    Did she regret it?


    No!


    As her personality was like this, even if it all happened once more, she would have still made the same


    choice for the situation at that moment. So, being regretful did not help anything.


    She loved this man!


    Thus, she did not hope that he would be sad after!


    “I’ll take away this ticket!” Marcel said, “We’ll go together in the afternoon!”


    Rae nodded.


    She had nned to notify her father, Ker that she could not make it!


    Yet, her calctions went wrong, as at this moment Marcel started, “We have to go for a meeting. You


    shoulde as well, Rae!”


    “Alright!” Rae went quickly!


    This was a very important meeting, following the practice, everyone would have to give up their


    phones. Once they entered the meeting room, everyone would leave their phones in the basket at the


    middle of the meeting table. A lot of phones wereid out ordingly and ced there, and Rae


    followed, silencing her phone and cing it there. But before that, she had already deleted the


    unfamiliar message in her phone!


    The meeting was not about the murder at YS Club, but was about another case. Rae was not quite


    familiar with it, she did not even know why she was asked to attend this meeting!


    But she still listened attentively, and she took down some notes as well.


    However, after the meeting ended, when everyone had gone to take their phones, Rae found that her


    phone was gone!


    Her eyes widened as she looked around. Everyone was almost gone, and had went outside


    consecutively.


    She looked everywhere, to see who had taken her phone!


    Once she looked, she actually saw that Marcel was holding her phone and was unlocking it, looking at


    something!


    Rae was silently shocked, being a little surprised. But she stood up immediately and went over, calling


    out, “Captain Hopkins!”


    “Yes!” Marcel replied without any expression, as he continued to look through her phone. His brows


    furrowed. When there were only the two of them left in the meeting room, only he raised his head. He


    swept a cold look at Rae who looked nervous, and finally he spoke, “I took your phone!”


    “Can you give it back to me now?” Rae nced at him and asked carefully.


    “Who owns this unfamiliar number?” Marcel passed the phone over.


    Rae took a look and saw that unfamiliar number from just now, it was indeed her father, Kane’s!


    She did not see what the message had written, merely looking at him guiltily, waiting for his judgement.


    Marcel went on, “Rae, surely you are not doing something secretly?”


    Rae shook her head. “No!”


    “Alright!” Marcel did not give her the phone, as he said directly, “I’ll keep your phone today!”


    Saying this, he turned off the phone!


    Rae was anxious, “Why? I have my rights!”


    Heughed, “For work purposes! Now, I’m your leader and not your boyfriend, Rae. You should


    separate your work life and your private life, I said that confiscating your phone was for work purposes.


    Now, you are to stay with me, and we won’t part for every moment until the movie watching activity in


    the afternoon has ended!”


    Rae was very hurt now, but still she nodded. “Alright!”


    Since they have to stick together for every moment, how could she go to the washroom?


    Rae was about to say something when Marcel said, “Let’s go, we’ll go out for lunch now!”


    Rae answered, “I have to go to the washroom first!”


    “Let’s go to my office first!” Marcel demanded once more.


    Rae was speechless, she could only follow him.


    Once they went into the office, he shut the door.


    Rae asked, “Anything, Captain Hopkins?”


    “Yes!” As Marcel said so, he had already reached his hands over and went across Rae’s clothes. Rae


    only felt her entire body going numb, feeling very awkward.


    She had not been able to do anything, when Marcel had already showed his purpose, he was actually


    doing a body search.


    Rae rolled her eyes speechlessly. “Captain Hopkins, may I know is this in your official or private


    capacity now?”


    Marcel answered shamelessly, “Of course it’s official business!”


    “Really?” Rae raised an eyebrow. “Feeling me up in public, is this act official?”


    “Go to the washroom!” He did not answer, but finished the search then allowed her to go to the


    washroom.


    Rae was let off, and she sighed inside.


    She wanted to follow god’s n today, if she was found, then let her be found. She did not want to


    continue it, she would leave it for god to decide!


    Thus, at three o’clock in the afternoon, they appeared at the movie theatre and bought another ticket.


    The position of this ticket was behind the original ticket.


    When they went in, Rae had gotten the ticket that she received, and Marcel had taken the one at the


    back!


    Rae had thought that her father woulde in bringing another ticket and sit next to her!


    As this movie was quite dated, not many watched it. There were a mere few people in the theatre, at


    one nce the number of people could already be calcted.


    Rae looked around in the dark first, but she did not see Kane.


    She sat at the designated ce, when she turned to look at Marcel he was already seated. The two of


    them were diagonal, she was in the front while he was at the back.


    Marcel did not speak, and Rae did not speak either.


    This was the first time that they were watching a movie together since they had gotten together, but it


    was under these circumstances!


    This waspletely not what a couple should be behaving. At this moment, although Rae was calm


    inside, she felt a little bitterness as well.


    She had heard that when couples go to the movies together, they would watch sappy romantic movies.


    They would fight over a bucket of popcorn together and share the same coke, they would even get


    close to each other and make out.


    But all these seemed to be a tall order for her.


    The two of them seemed to be guarding against each other now, Rae could not help herself. What


    Marcel wanted Rae did not know, she only felt that although they were close in person, their hearts


    were further than the end of the world!


    The sarcastic thing was that,st night they had even gone to thest level of a rtionship!


    At this moment, Rae had long forgotten what she had came here to do. She had risked the danger of


    being exposed, and encouraged herself to try. But she had not expected that Kane had not appeared at


    all, even until the end of the movie, no one suspicious appeared in the movie theatre!


    After Rae finished watching the movie, her heart went cold again.


    Thest effort she thought she had made had been returned with her father’sck of action, and she


    was just a pawn, a pawn that could never escape!


    She could go against the entire world, but she could never go against her father.


    When they went out of the theatre, Marcel walked out first while Rae followed at the back. They did not


    communicate. Rae lowered her head and walked, only wanting to get out of here, to a ce without


    anybody…


    As she was thinking, her hand was suddenly caught by Marcel. She was shocked and raised her head.


    Under the lights, she looked at him, and he was looking at her as well!


    In that rather dim light, Marcel saw Rae’s eyes. Thoserge and dark pupils were uncontrobly


    reddened at this moment, seeming to be even moistening.


    He stunned and his heart softened, and he asked out of instinct, “Feeling wronged?”


    Rae raised her chin,ughing so bitterly as she shook her head, “No! This is fine, then I can finish


    watching the movie silently!”


    “Then, have you watched its contents clearly?” Marcel asked her.


    Rae shook, her eyes already red, but no tears came flowing out!


    She knew that she was being sentimental now. What she was being sad about was not because of how


    Marcel had treated her, but was due to her father’s continuing pressure. She had given it all up to try


    today, but in return this was what she got. Did god really want her to continue being evil?


    She merely felt overwhelmed by her sadness, but she could not say it out. A lot of sadness


    umted inside her, and finally, her tears fell.
