“Yes, Mr. Dixon is in a meeting right now. I can pass on any message for you."

"Just let him know not to miss dinner at my place tonight."

Matteo peered into the office and saw Mitchel getting ready to leave.

He hesitated and then said, liss Foster, Mr. Dixon might be caught up with work until very late."

Raegan missed the hint in Matteo's voice and simply said, “That's fine. I can wait for him."

Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter from Janey on the Line.

Raegan quickly added “Matteo, go ahead with your work. I won't hold you up any longer."

After hanging up, Matteo rushed to catch up with Mitchel, out of breath. "Mrs...."

Upon seeing Mitchel's stern look, Matteo quickly corrected, “Miss Foster reminded you to remember dinner at her place tonight."

Mitchel, without showing any emotion, continued on his way. It wasn't until he entered the elevator that he allowed his emotions to surface.

Raegan invited him over for dinner, probably just to return the favor.

How ludicrous it was he felt cheerful in her invitation. It was silly of him, really.

In the kitchen.

Janey came bouncing in. Noticing her mother busy cooking, she used her most adorable voice and asked, “Mommy, what are you doing?"

“I'm preparing dinner, sweetheart." Raegan smiled.

“Wow, is someone special coming? Can we ask daddy to join us? I miss him." Janey's eyes, large and full of hope, sparkled with excitement.

Raegan, softened by her daughter's adorable face, couldn't help but smile. “Actually, the guest is your daddy."

"What?" Janey's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Really?"

Raegan gave a nod.

Janey bounced with joy. "That's amazing! Mommy, I love you so much!"
