NovelEnglishBefore going to the nursing home, Raegan decided to stop by Mitchel’s company.
Mitchel had not fully recovered, yet his schedule was jam-packed.
Concerned about his well-being, Raegan made him some nutritious soup with the help of the housekeeper.
On her way to his company, she shot Mitchel a message, asking whether he was busy. However, no response came from him.
Once Raegan reached the building, she took the exclusive CEO access card to take the elevator. Then, she ran into Matteo, who seemed a bit flustered when they bumped into each other.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA sense of unease crept in, but Raegan managed to keep her composure.
“Is Mitchel available?”
“Mr. Dixon is in his office now…” Matteo trailed off midsentence.
It seemed like he wanted to say more but thought better of it. By then, Raegan was already walking away.
As she entered the office, the blinds were up, allowing natural Light to filter in. Mitchel sat at his desk, engrossed in his work, looking so handsome in his black shirt. In Raegan’s eyes, there was something irresistibly attractive about him being focused on his work.
Sitting next to him was Lauren, dressed in a way that screamed she was a competent office lady. She looked rather eye-catching in her outfit.
It was said that the most sexy moment of a man was when he concentrated on his work. Right now, Mitchel certainly fitted the bill.
So Raegan could understand, in some way, why Lauren was so fixated on Mitchel. Still, Raegan felt uncomfortable with Lauren’s fixation on Mitchel.
Matteo, a bead of sweat forming on his temple, quickly explained, “Miss Murray has recently taken over her family’s business from her father. She’s here to discuss some particulars with Mr. Dixon.”
However, just as Matteo was giving Raegan the rundown, Lauren sidled up a little too close to Mitchel. They were reading some documents, but their proximity raised eyebrows.
Matteo’s forehead glistened with a fresh layer of cold sweat. He cast a sidelong glance at Raegan. There was no expression on her face, so it was hard to tell whether she was pissed and jealous.
From where Lauren sat, she could easily see someone standing outside the window. Seeing Raegan, a provocative smile appeared on her face.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn Lauren’s mind, Raegan should have been slinking away, overwhelmed with insecurity. After all, Raegan had already been fortunate enough to have married Mitchel. How could she make a scene over something so minor?
Moreover, Lauren assumed Mitchel was not the kind to let any woman spar with her. So, Raegan would just have to endure the grievance by herself. If things went on like this, Raegan would go nuts sooner or later..
Lauren had thought about this thoroughly. But to her surprise, Raegan just knocked on the door and swung it open.
Mitchel was highlighting the key points of the documents. When he heard the sound of footsteps, he did not even bother to raise his head and coldly said, “Get out.”
Mitchel’s tone sounded cold and harsh.
Raegan stopped in her tracks. Suddenly, she had an impulse to turn around and leave.
The corners of Lauren’s mouth curved into a smile when she saw Raegan stop. But she didn’t say anything. She just watched Raegan put the soup on the coffee table, turn around, and get ready to leave the office.
