Her discomfort was palpable as if being near him was unbearable.
âDonât get me wrong.
â Raegan turned her face away, unable to meet Mitchelâs intense gaze.
She was at a loss for words.
No matter how much she tried, it seemed impossible to sway Mitchel from his resolve.
Luckily, the elevator doors finally opened.
Raegan hurried out.
Just as she stepped out, her phone rang with a call from Henley, which she immediately answered.
On the other side, Henley asked her where she was and offered to pick her up for their meeting.
Seeing that Mitchel had not left yet, Raegan covered her phone and whispered, âIâm at a hospital.
Before she could finish, Mitchel pushed her against the wall and trapped her with his arm.
Raeganâs eyes widened in shock.
Before she could react, Mitchel snatched her phone and said to Henley, âDonât bother.
Iâll take her there.
â
Raegan was still in shock when Mitchel abruptly ended the call.
Mitchel gave Raegan a cold, hard stare and said, âFunny coincidence.
I was just about to go to the very place where he asked you to go.

He then picked her up all of a sudden, catching her off guard.
Raeganâs face hit his chest and rebounded, leaving her startled.
Instinctively, she wrapped her arms around his neck.
She was embarrassed when sensing the gaze of people passing by.
So, she released her grip, grasped the button of his suit, and whispered, âPlease, put me down.
âIâm in a rush, and you walk very slowly,â Mitchel retorted.
Raegan was taken aback.
âIf you are in a hurry, go about your business.
I donât need you to give me a ride.
â
Ignoring her words, Mitchel carried her to the parking lot and unceremoniously positioned her in the passenger seat, buckling her in.
Raegan didnât want to go with him.
She unbuckled her seatbelt and tried to open the door, but it was locked.
Turning to Mitchel, she pleaded, âCould you please unlock the door?â
Mitchel glanced at her and asked, âArenât you supposed to be going on a date?â
