Trapped In Lace

The policeman nodded with hesitation. "Well, I think so. He seemed very concerned about her."

She looked down to hide the expression in her eyes. A moment later, she thanked the policeman politely. "You're welcome, ma'am. Just wait a moment," the policeman replied politely. The policeman looked at his watch and then turned to her. "She's probably almost finished by now."

Rachel replied with a faint smile. But she wasn't really worried about it.

She sat down again and then waited for them to come out.

She sat with her back turned to the door, almost missing a figure talking on the phone who rushed past outside the door.

He approached the window and knocked on it. "Good evening, I need to see Chief Ren."

The policeman was surprised with the request. "Chief Ren? Do you have an appointment with him?"

"Yes, I do," the figure replied and pointed to his phone. "I'm talking with him on the phone. He wants me to come in to his office. Would you like to ask him yourself?"

The policeman nodded reluctantly and Baron handed the phone over to him.

He stood there waiting with one hand on his waist as he looked around the station. His eyes accidentally saw Rachel's back and his mind started to rate her by instinct.

Thin shoulder, a slim waist, fair skin, and black hair. He suddenly wanted to know how she looked like.

He felt an ir

o, he was at a loss as to how to best handle it. "You cannot fight here."

Celine took a deep breath and then helped Baron up.

Baron wasn't as arrogant as he was before after losing face in front of his woman and other people. Jack's kick easily humbled him. He glared at Jack and then turned to Celine who helped him up from the floor.

Celine felt so nervous that she did not dare to look into Jack's eyes. She was afraid that he would be angry for what had happened or that he would look down upon her.

Baron stared at his woman and then carefully observed Jack. The physical pain that he felt was made worse by Jack's presence. His face darkened and made him look pitiful.

He gritted his teeth and diverted his anger to the woman beside him. "Did you think that I'm dead already?"

A policeman entered the scene and then asked, "Hey, what happened here?"

But no one answered him.

Jack never said a word all this time, but when he heard what Baron said, he frowned and then turned to Celine.

Her face was deathly pale. She did not let go of Baron's arm. When she heard him, she stared at the floor with tears in her eyes. She didn't know what to say.

It was clear to the people there what kind of relationship Celine and Baron had. Jack wondered when she started dating this man. He suddenly felt that the man looked oddly familiar to him.
