I'm Your Saver Raegan shook her head dismissively.
"We're not getting back together.
Last night, I felt ill, and he stayed to care for me." It seemed she was convincing herself more than informing Henley.
Since the divorce, the thought of reuniting with Mitchel hadn't crossed Raegan's mind.
Mitchel was a closed chapter in her eyes.
Yet, his recent words unnerved her.
His casual greeting to Henley indicated a resolve to win her over, exuding an unsettling calmness.
The more Raegan pondered, the more irate she grew.
His love, she surmised, was not for her but for the physical comfort she provided.
Henley, on the other hand, experienced a surge of relief, a sensation he welcomed.
Shaking off his worries, he offered a suave, soothing smile.
"What were you trying to say earlier?” Inhaling deeply, Raegan said apologetically, "Henley, we should cease our communication.” Henley's expression darkened.
He pinched her wrist subconsciously and demanded, "Why?" The sudden shift in Henley's expression surprised Raegan.
And he pinched her so hard that she felt pain.
"Henley, you're hurting me...” It was not until then that Henley came to his senses, and he quickly let go, his smile returning.
"My apologies, Raegan.
I lost my composure.” Raegan, recovering from her shock, dismissed the incident.
"It's fine.” "This is the second time you want to end things with me.
Is Mr.
Dixon the reason?" Raegan didn't object.
"I'm afraid it will affect your career, so we'd better keep a distance.” Henley's smile was tinged with sadness.
"My career's already affected.
What now?” Confused, Raegan pressed, "What do you mean?” "I've been dismissed.
Accused of manipulating transactions, I'm barred from investment banking." Despite Henley's nonchalant tone, the news stunned Raegan.
Years of effort gone, Henley’s career dashed because of her.
It was a lot for anyone to bear.
No wonder Mitchel's greeting was so calm earlier.
He couldn't have been unaware of it, and perhaps, even played a role in it.
At a loss for words, Raegan’s concern was evident.
"Henley, I'm sorry.” "It’s nothing,” he replied, the smile never leaving his face.
"I may return to Swynborough.
My family's business is there, beyond others’ reach.” Henley's feigned serenity masked emotions Raegan couldn't decipher.
She felt a deep sorrow and repeated her apology.
Henley's smile softened.
"Don't blame yourself.
Think of it as me going back to claim my inheritance.
Does that ease your mind?” Raegan mused that Henley should have claimed his inheritance earlier, not under duress.
"Raegan, would you like to go with me?" Henley inquired suddenly.
"Me?" Raegan said, taken aback.
While her original intention was to further study in Swynborough, it felt unusual to travel alongside Henley.
They were nothing more than friends and classmates, after all.
"Why?" she inquired, her curiosity piqued.
Henley harbored his own rationale.
His father's company overseas was soon to be his responsibility, and he considered it opportune to take Raegan with him before leaving this city.
In the realm of looks, Henley differed markedly from Mitchel.
Each had their distinct appeals, defying direct comparison.
