Chapter 2: Some News
"I guess you two had quarrelled, huh? Can't you both just discuss your couple problems personally and not drag the police into it?" the officer commented, annoyed.
"What are you trying to say, officer? Do you mean I am married to this man?! Please check again. Maybe there's some sort of error in your system," Rain pleaded, pointing a finger towards Alexander Lancaster.
Frowning, Alexander seconded, "Yes, please check on this again because I'm not married."
"I suggest that both of you should go to the Civil Affairs Bureau for confirmation if you wish because there's no error in our system. More importantly, Mr. Lancaster, do you still wish to proceed with this complaint against your wife?"
"No need! I'm willing to pay for the damages. It's my mistake; I broke his car," Rain quickly interrupted. She grabbed her name card and offered it to Alexander.
"Here is my card. Please let me know the total cost of the repairs and your account number. I'll compensate you immediately. I sincerely apologise for the inconvenience I caused," Rain stated politely.
Alexander pocketed it without saying a word. Rain's eyebrow twitched at the rudeness.
"This settles it then. We shall close this case!" the officer announced with a smile.
Before Rain could ask further, Alexander's mobile phone rang. Whatever news he received made his face turn grim and he only gave one word answers. Rain and the official dared not make a sound in his presence.
"I need to leave now," Alexander said, standing up immediately after he hung up. He addressed the officer coldly, "Double-check your database because I am definitely not married." Then he turned to Rain and said, "My assistant will contact you about the compensation, Miss Clayton."
Without waiting for her response, he immediately left. Rain blinked, stunned, and then she hurriedly stood up to chase after him.
