“But you might be tied up with work as well,” Raegan pointed out.
“I’ll make sure to wrap up my tasks early. I’m not keen on you heading home late without me,” Mitchel countered, his concern evident.
Raegan, seeking to alleviate his worries, reassured him, “There’s really no need to fret. My driver is reliable, and Victor’s with me, so I’m in safe hands.”
A brief silence followed before Mitchel’s voice, deep and suggestive, broke through. “Don’t you miss me?”
Raegan’s response came quickly. “Absolutely not.”
Her response, however, belied her true concern for Mitchel’s well-being, especially given the day’s tumultuous events at the Dixon Group, not to mention the strain of him potentially driving out to fetch her late at night.

With her bodyguard and the household driver by her side, Raegan felt secure.
Mitchel, detecting the hesitation in her voice, pressed further with a hint of amusement, “So, you actually do miss me?”
Caught off guard, Raegan found herself at a loss for words. Mitchel’s persistence was unusual, yet it drew a genuine response from her. “I miss you dearly…”
Her voice was earnest, reflecting the depth of their recent closeness.
The days they had spent together, lost in their own little universe, had only intensified their connection, making their current separation feel all the more poignant.
Mitchel playfully challenged her, “That sounded somewhat tepid, Mrs. Dixon.”
Raegan, with a mix of jest and challenge, countered, “And who, pray tell, is your wife?”
Mitchel’s reply came with a teasing edge. “The very same person who whispered ‘husband’ so sweetly to me just last night…”
Raegan felt her cheeks ignite with embarrassment at her own outburst.
“Who asked you to be so charming!”
The conversation came to an abrupt halt, leaving Raegan in a moment of stunned silence. Realizing how easily she had been swept up at the moment, she covered her mouth in surprise.

“That’s it, I’m not speaking to you anymore!” Raegan declared, a mix of mock annoyance and real embarrassment in her voice before abruptly ending the call.
On the other end, Mitchel couldn’t help but smile, a subtle sense of satisfaction washing over him as he pushed his work aside and relaxed a bit, his evening suddenly looking up.
After wrapping up her duties, Raegan noticed the late hour. She donned her mask and was about to head downstairs with Victor when she realized she had left her bag behind.
Victor, seeing Raegan’s exhaustion, kindly offered to fetch it for her. “Miss, please wait in the car for me.”
Raegan nodded her agreement. “Alright.” She pressed the button to close the elevator doors, but just as they began to shut, a tall figure made a swift entrance, barely slipping in.
Startled, Raegan’s heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively moved to exit the elevator.
Yet, before she could leave the elevator, the doors had already begun to close, sealing their descent.
