At that moment, the door was gently pushed open.
Raegan hadnt closed the door properly upon entering, so it yielded easily to a light knock.
It was the conference halls secretary who addressed Mitchel, The meeting is about to commence
The scene before the secretary rendered her speechless. Was this truly the aloof, cold-faced man she knew? The downward gaze directed at the woman in his embrace was undeniably affectionate! It appeared that beneath his stoic exterior, he harbored depths of warmth and affection.

Raegan dared not lift her gaze, her discomfort now palpable. With a shudder, she belatedly realized the awkwardness of the situation.
Mitchels brow furrowed slightly as his gaze fixed on the figure by the door, the warmth draining from his eyes. Ill be there on time.

Traces of tears lingered in Raegans eyes, her cheeks flushed.
Startled by the abrupt interruption, her words came out hesitantly.

Raegan stood frozen, her soul struck silent as if by a sudden blow.

In the heavy silence that followed, Mitchels dark eyes dulled gradually.
I dont need your pity, Mitchel asserted. He refused to shackle her by his side with her compassion. Matters of the heart demanded more than fleeting emotions or sympathetic gestures. If her feelings were merely born out of pity, he would rather endure a lifetime of suffering than confine her to such a fate.
Mitchel gently steadied Raegan on her feet before firmly instructing, Go back, please.
