Chapter 250

«Today I have a mission. Luciana said you tend to forget to eat when work takes over. So here I am, assigned to make sure you finish all your food.

Mitchel massaged his forehead, a hint of irritation in his voice. "Leave this for now."

But Katie didn't back down. "No way! You have to take a break and eat them. When you have eaten them all, my mission will be accomplished.

Giving him an impatient look, Mitchel asked, "Don't you have anything else to do lately?"

Katie had become a frequent visitor to his company in recent days.

A light blush graced Katie's cheeks under Mitchel's gaze. She playfully stuck out her tongue and replied: “Come on. How can you be so ruthless? I brought you food out of kindness. And now you scold me?

Mitchel remained indifferent as he said, “I don't need it. Can't you understand what my mother is trying to do?

Katie blinked and feigned innocence. "What do you mean?"

"He's trying to set you up with me."

A beat skipped in Katie's heart and she dared to ask, "What do you think of that, then?"

"Obviously I don't agree."

It was the answer Katie was waiting for. Katie sighed and asked in a self-deprecating tone, "Am I that bad in your eyes?"

Mitchel responded with the same indifference: “It's not about that. "I already have someone in my heart."

Katie bit her lip and asked, "You mean your ex-wife, right?"

Mitchel preferred not to answer, considering that it was not the right time to reveal it publicly. Furthermore, he feared that Alexis would not easily give up his scheming.

Undeterred, Katie continued, "I don't think he cares about you, Mitchel."

These words acted as a sharp reminder, once again removing the thorns at the bottom of Mitchel's heart.

Mitchel didn't expect a stranger like Katie to notice Raegan's lack of concern for him. Even in the eyes of others, it was obvious.

Seeing that Mitchel remained silent, Katie said nothing more and took the opportunity to gather her thoughts before speaking again.

With a reassuring smile, Katie suggested, "Since it's Luciana's idea, why don't we play along?"

Mitchel looked at her confused when he heard that.

Katie explained: "Even if I'm gone, Luciana will find someone for you.

Why not use me as an excuse? "It doesn't bother me at all."

Mitchel couldn't help but frown. He disliked this idea.

Undeterred, Katie persuaded him, "There's no need to worry. I have no feelings for you, and I don't feel like going on any blind dates my family sets me up for. It could be a mutually beneficial arrangement if we pretend to be a couple. It is a strategy in which we all win.

Mitchel neither consented nor objected.

Without waiting for Mitchel to express his opinion, Katie continued, “Then it's decided. We don't need to broadcast it to the world. Let's just inform our families that we are in a relationship. "It's that simple."

With that statement, he picked up the lunch box. «I will eat this for you.

After that, my mission will be accomplished.

Once outside the office, Katie's expression changed, her innocent smile disappearing instantly.

The happiest time of her life was when Mitchel considered her one of his friends. So they were very close.

But as soon as Mitchel found out she was a girl, he immediately distanced himself from her.

Heartbroken, she went abroad. However, when he returned, she couldn't take her eyes off him.

The need to be with Mitchel was increasingly intense. Thus she developed an obsession that consumed her.

But Katie did a great job hiding it.

She didn't take a step unless she was sure of the outcome.

Matteo knocked on the door as Katie left.

Upon entering, Matteo noticed that Mitchel's mood had declined.
