Instead of handling the family business, he opted to work for a company. However, since he was facing a plethora of problems in his work, his parents started to pressure him to return to the family business and propose a marriage of convenience. But he didn't want a marriage without love. He got someone he desperately wanted to marry.

Therefore, Henley wanted Raegan to pretend to be his girlfriend tonight during a dinner with his parents, who had just returned from abroad.

Although Henley's words were not direct, it was clear to Raegan that he had lost his job because of Mitchel.

Worse still, other companies refused to hire him.

However, Henley refused to compromise. Since he was still chasing after the girl he loved, he came up with this plan.

Raegan couldn't help but feel this misfortune had befallen Henley because of her.

She felt sorry for Henley. As she was about to express her thoughts, her heart skipped a beat when she saw Mitchel entering the coffee shop from the corner of her eye.

Henley looked at where Raegan gazed and saw Mitchel. He asked, “Do you want to go somewhere else?"

Raegan shook her head.

"No need. This place is fine with me."

She had to accept that being in the same city with Mitchel, their paths could cross. She couldn't avoid him forever.

This was a public place, anyway. Raegan believed Mitchel wouldn't do anything rude.

Despite this thought, her mind was still in a mess when she saw Mitchel approaching.

And the way he stared at her while walking gave her goosebumps.

When Mitchel approached her table, Raegan's fight-or-flight response was to suddenly stand up and shout, "You are so annoying!"

As soon as her voice fell, the entire restaurant instantly quieted down.

Raegan felt a little embarrassed upon realizing this.

But this was all because she was really plagued by Mitchel's presence recently and became a little nervous.

Besides, she didn't fully recover from sitting in his car while he drove at a breakneck speed.

Mitchel just stared at her, devoid of expression. It unsettled Raegan even more since she didn't know whether he was livid.
