Raegan kept the conversation short, saying, “I'm just here for Mitchel."

When she tried to walk by, Henley stepped in her way. His eyelashes drooped slightly and he hooked his lips like he was in a good mood.

"It seems you really don't want to be around me. I admit, I was out of line before, and I'm sorry."

Raegan's skin crawled. "You don't have to apologize," she responded, her tone sharp.

"Are you still upset with me?" Henley asked.

Looking him straight in the eye, Raegan didn't mince words. “Mr. Brooks, I was quite clear back at the hospital. We aren't friends. Spare me the pleasantries."

Her frosty response seemed to bother Henley, but he kept up his easygoing appearance, his eyes smiling. "Raegan, do you have to be this cold?"

Even though Henley shared resembling features with Mitchel, there was a significant difference. Mitchel looked serious and charming, but Henley had a gentle and refined air about him.

Henley's smile, once seemed gentle, now made Raegan shiver every time she saw it.

Henley's darker side had revealed itself as sheer madness.

Finding themselves in a corner without surveillance cameras, unease washed over Raegan, but she masked it with feigned composure, suggesting, “Mr. Brooks, with all these people around, it might be better if you get back to your work, so we avoid any unnecessary gossip."

Henley, still smiling, said confidently, "Raegan, no one dares to spread rumors about me."

As Raegan tried to walk past him, Henley suddenly blocked her way.

Acting on impulse, she threw the food container she was holding at him.

Henley easily dodged it, and the container hit the ground, its contents spilling everywhere.

"Don't touch me!" Raegan shouted, unable to hide her disgust.

Henley was taken aback, his face turning stern. He moved closer, trapping her in the corner, and asked, "Do you really despise me that much?"

Raegan stepped back and warned him with a chill in her voice, “Mitchel is going to start looking for me soon.”

Henley just laughed scornfully at the mention of Mitchel. "Do you really think I'm that patient?"

Raegan never harbored this illusion. His manipulative depth was something she was well aware of, fueling her profound repulsion.
