Luis was the one who opened the door.

It appeared he was on his way out.

Raegan balled her hands, turned to him, and nodded.

"Hey, Mr. Stevens!" Without waiting for him to respond to her greeting, she walked past him and entered the office with the document.

Mitchel was seated behind a large luxurious desk.

In an expensive suit and matching tie, he looked particularly handsome.

Raegan noticed it wasn't the same suit he had on when he left home last night.

How did he get changed? With her eyes lowered, she swallowed that question and said instead, "Mr. Dixon, this is from the Marketing Department.

Please sign it." Mitchel was expressionless as he signed the document at a glance.

Raegan walked out the door as soon as he handed the document back to her.

Luis was still standing at the threshold.

It wasn't until she went out of sight that Luis turned to Mitchel and said in a hushed tone, "Shit! Do you think she heard us?" Mitchel's appealing eyes were expressionless at the moment.

Obviously, he wasn't paying attention to what Luis was saying.To Mitchel, Raegan had always been docile and never felt jealous of anyone.

Her strict obedience was all Mitchel demanded from her in exchange for treating her well.

In the elevator.

Raegan held her breath just to hold back her tears.

Unfortunately, it didn't work.

She had thought two years would be enough for Mitchel to realize how much she loved him and reciprocate her love.

Now, it turned out that was just a pipe dream.

She realized she would always play second fiddle to Lauren, Mitchel's true love.

Reagan wiped her tears when the elevator halted.

Save for her pale face, she looked normal when the doors opened.

She dragged herself to the break room, intending to make herself a cup of tea.

Several employees were chatting inside.

"Guys, have you heard? Lauren Murray is back." "And who is that?" "Oh, my! You don't know her? Lauren is the heiress of the Murray Group as well as a world-class designer.

Most importantly, she's the only girlfriend Mr. Dixon has ever shown off in public.

She's his first love!" "Why is her return such a big deal? Isn't it rumored that there is something between Mr. Dixon and Raegan?" "Raegan? She's probably one of his many sex toys.

Mr. Dixon never admitted that he was dating her.

And that is no surprise to me.

After all, look at her.

She's not even that beautiful.

Yet, she behaves as if she's already Mrs.

Dixon.

What a fool!" Standing at the door, Raegan smiled with self-mockery as she listened to them.

It turned out everyone else saw the truth except her.

The love was one-sided.

"Ha-ha, has Mrs.

Dixon finally woken up from her wild dream?" A voice of mockery suddenly came from behind.

Raegan turned around to see Tessa Lloyd, Mitchel's cousin, who had always despised her.

Tessa must have also heard the employees gossiping.

The last thing Raegan wanted to do now was argue with Tessa in the company.
