Their dinner schedule had totally slipped her mind due to the events transpired yesterday.
She didn’t text Mitchel, nor did she know if he was looking for her.
It was so late. He should be asleep by now.
Lying on the bed, Raegan kept tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
In the end, she could no longer resist it. She got up, walked to the hotel’s landline phone on the desk, and dialed Mitchel’s number. She told herself she would hang up if Mitchel picked up after three rings.
But to her surprise, Mitchel immediately answered. It was as if he had been waiting for her call.
“Raegan?” Mitchel’s deep voice sounded from the other end of the Line.
Raegan was stunned before she asked, “Have you been waiting for my call?”
“Yes. Where are you now?” Mitchel didn’t deny it.
“I’m on a business trip out of town. My phone was broken, so I was not able to contact you until now.”
“Are you with someone?” Mitchel suddenly asked.
Raegan’s heart skipped a beat. She almost blurted it out when Nicole’s words rang in her mind. She had promised Nicole to keep Austin’s existence from Mitchel.

Raegan pursed her lips and replied, “Yes. Just some colleagues you are not familiar with.”
Mitchel fell silence.
Thinking it was the poor signal, Raegan asked, “Mitchel, are you still there?”
“Yes.” After the brief response, Mitchel didn’t say anything more.

Unbeknownst to Raegan, Mitchel was sitting in the car and looking up at the dazzling neon lights of the hotel. He asked in a deep voice, Do you want me to go there to accompany you?”
Raegan got nervous and hastily said, “No, it’s okay. I’m going back tomorrow, anyway.”
Her reply was simple, but Mitchel felt like he was slapped by an invisible hand.
Hearing Raegan’s reply, Mitchel went silent.
Raegan was puzzled by Mitchel’s unusual silence tonight. Right when she was about to inquire further, she heard a soft cough. It sounded like Austin was the one coughing.
Startled, Raegan quickly covered the mouthpiece and whispered softly, “I’m going to bed. Let’s talk tomorrow.”
With that, Raegan ended the call.
