âIf I really love another man, why would I be with him? Doesnât he know that a womanâs heart and her body have the same mind?â Rae thought to herself.
Rae stopped talking to Marcel, she felt that it was very hard to communicate with him.
But she also understood something.
The issue between Marcel and her was because she had been asking too much.
She had taken charge of the tempo that Marcel was supposed to take charge in now. It was definite that Marcel would feel upset.
Yes, she was not stupid, she didnât know what Marcel was up to but the reason that Marcel lived with her could not be that he loved her!
She was just going with his plan and made herself happy.
Now, both of them were just similar. Although Rae felt sad and relax at the same time.
She never held any hope when she loved him so she wouldnât ask for anything from him either.
Rae just wanted him to only have her while he was living with him, only wanted him to be faithful in this relationship.
Rae walked out.
But Marcel took a bigger step and walked out from the bedroom faster than her.
Marcel was walking so fast that Rae felt a slight breeze on her face. Rae was still stunned but Marcel had already opened the door and walked out from the room. Marcel seemed to be angry, he was so angry that he didnât know what to do, so he could only walk out like this.
Marcel shut the door, the whole room became quiet.
Rae smiled bitterly, she didnât have any thoughts, she cleaned herself up and took some of her things and left Intercontinental Century City to go to work.
On her way to work, she received a call from Ophelia, Ophelia asked her, âDo you know that Iâm involved in Karina's case?â
Rae replied on the phone, âI know!â
âI might be in trouble!â Ophelia said in a tired tone, âWhy the hell did I give Karina that liquor? Besides, I had an issue with her before this!â
âOphelia, I know you are innocent!â Rae answered.
âThereâs no use even if you knew it! I need evidence now, evidence!â
âDidnât Marcel already let you go?â
âSigh! It is hard to describe with words! Thatâs because of Reubenâs lawyer, his lawyer is really amazing!â Ophelia said.
âI will help you with all my might!â Rae promised her sincerely.
âRae, you are the best!â
Rae remembered the Garbassiâs warning, that must be Marcelâs work. She didnât say anything about it, she only said she would help Ophelia and didnât say anything else!
But, she could try to get some information from her.
So Rae asked Ophelia, âIs your relationship with Reuben good?â
âItâs just so-so, we meet twice a week, and have fun twice a week!â Ophelia said, âForget it, come to me, I have important things to tell you!â
Rae quickly got a taxi to meet Ophelia, when both of them settled down, only then Ophelia said, âI sort of know who did this to me this time!â
âWho?â Rae asked.
âStefan!â
âWhy?â
âI think he wanted to break up with Karina, but he looked down on me, he didnât think that I would be somebody important to Reuben, he was using someone else to trick me!â Ophelia thought deeply, âDamn it! Stefan, this bastard, he wanted me to die, he tricked me!â
Rae was very shocked, âWhat you said makes sense too! What you are suspecting could be right!â
Ophelia saw that Rae wasnât too confident with her answer, she said in a loud voice, âOf course! When I was in school, I wanted to be a police officer, but I didnât enrol into the Police Academy, I truly regretted it! Rae, what do you mean? I said I suspect him, why arenât you supportive enough?â
Rae opened her hands and said, âMy dear Ophelia, whatâs the use of suspecting him? The most important thing is the evidence!â
Ophelia shrugged her shoulders after hearing what Rae said, âI donât have evidence either! We are just guessing everything, sigh! The police officer who is investigating the case also uses logic and reasoning to solve the case, right? The reasoning I gave isnât wrong either. I also give logical reasoning, I also give out his motive and tricks he used to do this, I am almost as good as Sherlock Holmes!â
Rae didnât have the mood to joke around with her, âI want to meet Reuben, I wonder if Iâd get the chance to meet him?â
Ophelia was stunned, âWhy would you want to know that asshole?â
âTo investigate the case!â Rae replied calmly, âNot just him, I also wanted to meet Stefan, I wanted to know everyone in James family!â
Ophelia looked at Rae in a suspicious way, âIs this what you want to do or what Marcel wants to do?â
âWhy did you ask like this?â Rae didnât answer her, she asked instead.
Ophelia sat on the sofa with her leg crossed, âIf this is what you want to do, I will introduce him to you, but if this is what Marcel wants to do, then I donât really want to introduce him to you. Rae, you know how deep our friendship is, I just didnât want you to be used by Marcel!â
Rae was a bit stunned.
It turned out she was thinking too much, she felt that since she became Rae, she became too sensitive, she felt that everyone was suspicious all the time.
She felt sorry because she thought too much. She looked at Ophelia and said, âNo matter if it's his idea or mine, or anyone in my team, we just wanted to solve the case as soon as possible! You would also clear your name by then, there wouldnât be any problem anymore.â
Opheliaâs relaxed face slowly faded away, she didnât become more relax because of Raeâs words. After a while, she said, âRae, James family isnât as simple as you think! James family is still good at managing their own family. Reuben is very hard to predict. If itâs just him, it is still alright, and his father, who is very experienced in this, he is too smart and cunning. He is almost at the devil level, people call him a legend who never lose, you wonât have anything left if he goes after you!â
Rae wanted to say something, then she heard a voice from behind, âI donât know that I am such a person in your eyes. As well as my father, he is an old devil? Ophelia, you are truly something.â
His voice sounded very good, the voice tone was like a diamond, but it was like a diamond in a cold snowy land. He seemed like a very cold person.
Rae immediately felt that Opheliaâs body became stiff, she quickly turned around and saw a man changing his shoes by the door.
Rae could only see his back, it looked very broad. He was wearing a suit, his body looked tall and slender.
Rae knew that this man was Reuben even without guessing. She only heard about Reuben but never met him. Rae only heard about him and how he was smart in planning. Reuben only came back in less than two years, but he already had his own company and also worked as a vice president in YS Club. That time, Rae thought it was normal for a person like him to have a few identities.
Ophelia didnât say anything. At that time, Reuben turned around, only then Rae saw Reubenâs face.
Reuben had a pair of deep and attractive eyes, inner double eyelids. His eyes werenât too big but they looked deep. When he looked at somebody, it felt as if he saw through that person. His face also looked tough, it was very clear that he wasnât a person that was easy to deal with! However, it was obvious that Reuben was also a man with high potential, he could even be compared with Marcel! Ophelia called this man an asshole? Looked like she wasnât wrong either!
Rae felt that she suddenly was in a weaker position in front of Reuben!
That was why Ophelia had been kept by his side for so long.
âWhy would you suddenly come?â Ophelia finally spoke, she seemed to be still puzzled with his appearance here, âDidnât you say you wouldnât come this week?â
âIf I didnât come, would you continue to talk about me and even scold my father?â Reuben said coldly, he already walked towards Ophelia. He didnât even look at Rae, it seemed like he just ignored the presence of Rae.
Rae felt quite awkward. She felt like she was stuck in between a fighting couple, no matter what she did, nothing would be right!
âScold your father? Yes, I did!â Ophelia didnât feel scared now, she stood up and held her waist with both her hands. She glared at Reuben, âReuben, let me tell you something, I have already held my temper towards your family for some time, your father got me so many troubles, why canât I complain about him! Hear me out, if you made me angry, I would do something that is out my mind!â
Reuben looked at her, his eyes didnât blink. After a long time, he said calmly, âOnly a crazy person would lose her mind, do you want to be crazy?â
âBastard! Who did you call a crazy person?â Ophelia stomped towards him and stopped in front of him.
Reuben reached out his arms and pushed Ophelia onto the sofa.
Then Reuben looked at Rae and said, âYou are Miss Baxter, right? This is a house of a normal citizen, itâs not an interrogation room of your unit. What did you want to know when you came here? Why donât you just ask me! I heard that you want to get to know me? Miss Baxter, I am not interested!
Now, you can leave!â
Rae couldnât help but to shiver when she heard her name being called with that voice. Also, she didnât expect Reuben to ask her to leave.
âBastard, Rae is my friend and this is my house!â Ophelia jumped up from the sofa and stood in front of Rae to protect her, âYou leave now!â
âYou even belong to me, what do you think about this house?â Reuben looked at Ophelia from sideways and said, âWe want to do some intimate sports, does Miss Baxter want to stay here to watch us?â
After Reuben said this, it was not just Ophelia who blushed, Rae also blushed.
This man, he really...
Rae realized she couldnât even find a suitable word to describe Reuben.
She felt that Reuben always does unexpected moves. How could he talk about such a thing in front of an outsider? What position did he put Ophelia at?
Rae started to worry about Ophelia now!
âOphelia, Iâll go home first, letâs chat next time!â Rae didnât want Ophelia to feel troubled.
But Ophelia stopped her and wouldnât let her go.
Now she looked like a wounded small animal, she glared to fight the hunter.
Reuben didnât say anything, he just sat on the sofa and crossed his legs. He looked at them.
Even though he was sitting down and looked shorter than them, his aura was still strong. He made them feel a bit terrified. Even though Ophelia was usually a tough and masculine woman, she still felt a bit scared at this moment.
Rae thought inside her heart, âWhat exactly is this Reuben? Who is he? Also, she hasnât even introduced herself but he already knows who she is.â
When Rae thought about it, she felt that he was scary.
At this moment, Reuben raised his eyebrows and looked at Rae, âMiss Baxter didnât want to leave, so do you want to do threesome with us?â
No matter how thick-skinned Rae was, she couldnât stay there any longer. Her face was blushing red. Rae thought to herself, âBut what if Ophelia gets bullied by him?â
Rae was a person who would be tough and strong for her friends. At this moment, she didnât care about how terrified she felt, she suddenly raised her chin and looked at Reuben. She said, âI know Mr. James has many ways and tricks, I didnât even introduce myself but you already know my name.
Today Mister James said something shocking to intimidate me. But Karinaâs case is related to Ophelia and I am her friend, so I want to know more information to help Ophelia, since she somehow got involved in this case!â
