Chapter 616

? ? ? ? ?

Looking him straight in the eyes, Raegan didn't mince words. «Mr. Brooks, I was very clear at the hospital. We are not friends. "Save the gallantry."

Her icy response seemed to annoy Henley, but he maintained his carefree appearance, his eyes smiling. “Raegan, do you have to be so cold?”

Although Henley shared similar traits with Mitchel, there was a significant difference. Mitchel seemed serious and charming, but Henley had a kind and refined air.

Henley's smile, which had seemed kind before, now made Raegan cringe every time she saw it.

Henley's darker side had been revealed as pure madness.

Finding himself in a corner without surveillance cameras, Raegan was overcome with concern, but he hid it with feigned composure, suggesting: "Mr. Brooks, with all these people around, it would be better if you got back to your work, so we can avoid unnecessary gossip."

Henley, still smiling, said confidently, “Raegan, no one dares to spread rumors about me.”

As Raegan tried to walk past him, Henley suddenly blocked her path.

Acting on impulse, he threw the container of food he was carrying in his hand at her.

Henley easily dodged it and the container fell to the ground, spilling its contents everywhere.

"Do not touch me!" Raegan shouted, unable to hide her displeasure.

Henley was shocked, his face becoming stern. He moved closer, trapping her in a corner, and asked, "Do you really despise me that much?"

Raegan took a step back and warned him with a chill in her voice, "Mitchel is going to start looking for me soon."

Henley just laughed contemptuously at the mention of Mitchel. "Do you really think I'm that patient?"

Raegan never harbored that illusion. His manipulative depth was something she was well aware of, fueling her deep repulsion.

Henley reached out, trying to lift her chin, his voice dark and intense. «What if I had taken you that night? Would Mitchel still take you in so easily?

Raegan's anger rose. "Henley, aren't you ashamed?

Hearing his name used so directly only made Henley smirk. Such reproaches were only effective on people who followed the rules, and he was not one of them. He didn't care about morality or decency.

With a half smile, Henley said, “Shame? In high places, everything is a matter of respect.

“Get out of my way!” Raegan turned her head, refusing to be touched.

This movement revealed to Henley the pale, delicate skin of Raegan's neck.

Her skin was so delicate that Henley could see the fine veins beneath, and her light blush made her irresistibly captivating.

Henley was buzzing with a strange kind of excitement, almost feeling the urge to bite.

Five years had not cooled his obsession. On the contrary, it had become crazy. He was attracted to her smell, her voice and her smiles. Just thinking about her gave him a sensation that shook his soul.
