Raegan felt like a fishbone was stuck in her throat. And every time she breathed, it hurt. She was very uncomfortable.

However, she couldn't find an outlet to vent out. And she also knew that Mitchel didn't like others to interfere with his work. So, if she made a fuss about it, they would only argue.

Raegan suppressed the anger and jealousy in her heart and replied indifferently, "No, of course not. Drink the soup now."

Mitchel didn't seem satisfied with Raegan's answer. The expression on his face changed. But he didn't say anything more. He just picked up the soup and drank it up.

As soon as he put down the empty thermos, Raegan stood up, cleaned the coffee table, and said, “Alright. Go ahead with your work. I'll take my leave."

But when she turned around, Mitchel suddenly grabbed her wrist. She was unprepared, so she lost her balance and fell on his lap.

Much to her surprise, Mitchel lowered his head and bit her Lips gently. He said in a low voice, “Bad liar."

He must have seen through her mind because he started explaining, “Lauren's condition is getting much better now, so her father let her take over the family business in Ardlens. But she can't handle everything on her own at the moment. It happens that they have a project related to our company, so her father asked me to help her.

That's all."

He paused before he added expressionlessly, “If you are not happy with it, I won't help her personally from now on. I will ask someone to take care of her.”

"It's okay. You don't have to do that," Raegan refused at once.

Since Mitchel took the initiative to explain it to her, it only meant there was really nothing between him and Lauren. She should trust him.

Besides, Raegan was not an unreasonable person. She could understand such a thing.

And she was aware that when it came to love, things Like jealousy and misunderstandings couldn't be avoided.

These things were so unpredictable that no one could stop them from coming.

While Raegan sat in Mitchel's arms, she felt his body seemed on fire.

Her cheeks began to burn. She didn't need to look in the mirror to know she was blushing.

But it was too late for her to realize it.

Before she could react, Mitchel had already lifted her on the broad office desk and pressed a button.

Then, all the blinds shut.
