The man inside responded with a courteous, âDonât mention it.
â
His voice struck Raegan as strangely familiar.
Curiosity got the better of her, and she glanced up to see a well-dressed, handsome man.
To her astonishment, it was Mitchel.
Beside Mitchel stood an elegant and graceful woman.
At that moment, Raegan couldnât help but recall Mitchelâs recent declaration that he wanted to pursue her.
Since that day, she hadnât heard anything from him.
Thanked God she didnât buy his empty promises.
With her head lowered, Raegan pretended not to recognize Mitchel and remained silent.
To Raeganâs surprise, the woman next to Mitchel took the initiative to speak.
She looked at Raegan with astonishment and asked, âRaegan?â
Katie had beautiful, curly long hair, and a gentle smile danced on her lips.
Noticing Raeganâs silence, Katie pressed on, âI heard you had a close call with death.
Iâm glad youâre safe.
How about we have dinner sometime?â
As she spoke, she discreetly positioned herself beside Mitchel, revealing only half her body and face.
She appeared affectionate and reliant on Mitchel.
As a woman, Raegan had a feeling that something was going on between them.
She guessed that Katie must like Mitchel.
In an instant, the slight fondness Raegan had developed for Mitchel because of his agreeing to the divorce evaporated.
She sneered and cursed him in her heart for being heartless.
There did not seem to be a time when he wasnât surrounded by women.
âIâm sorry, youâve mistaken me for someone else,â Raegan coldly said.
Katie wanted to say something, but the elevator arrived at the designated floor.
With that, Raegan walked out without even looking in Mitchelâs direction.
In her wake, she left behind an uncomfortable Katie and a somber, cold-faced Mitchel.
Before Raegan reached the corner, her phone rang.
She answered the call with a sweet voice, âStefanâ¦â Her demeanor resembled that of a woman in love answering a call from her boyfriend.
Mitchelâs expression grew frosty.
During the divorce, Raegan had promised not to avoid him.
Well, technically speaking, she didnât break her word.
But although she didnât avoid him, she acted as if she didnât know him.
It seemed as though she was determined to prove that he was a stranger to her.
Observing Mitchelâs expression, Katie sensed his anger and could discern its source.
She glanced at the closing elevator doors, and her gaze darkened.
She had learned about Raeganâs return from Mitchel, but that was all he said.
He didnât go into any further details.
At this moment, Katie turned her head toward Mitchel and asked, âDid you two have a fight?â
Mitchelâs mind remained fixed on Raeganâs dress, which swayed and accentuated her curves, giving off innocence and allure.
In a somber tone, Mitchel explained, âNo, she has an amnesia.
â
âAmnesia?â Katie repeated, taken aback.
It finally dawned on her why Raegan had acted like she didnât recognize them earlier.
âI never saw that coming,â Katie murmured to herself.
In all honesty, when Katie first learned that Raegan was alive, she was somewhat thrown off balance.
Katie had selflessly supported Mitchel, even going as far as seeking her fatherâs help during his most trying times.
She had even taken a significant risk, particularly by leveraging her familyâs influence.
