Luis was the one who opened the door.
It appeared he was on his way out.
Raegan balled her hands, turned to him, and nodded.
"Hey, Mr. Stevens!" Without waiting for him to respond to her greeting, she walked past him and entered the office with the
document.
Mitchel was seated behind a large luxurious desk.
In an expensive suit and matching tie, he looked particularly handsome.
Raegan noticed it wasn't the same suit he had on when he left home last night.
How did he get changed? With her eyes lowered, she swallowed that question and said instead, "Mr. Dixon, this is from the
Marketing Department.
Please sign it." Mitchel was expressionless as he signed the document at a glance.
Raegan walked out the door as soon as he handed the document back to her.
Luis was still standing at the threshold.
It wasn't until she went out of sight that Luis turned to Mitchel and said in a hushed tone, "Shit! Do you think she heard us?"
Mitchel's appealing eyes were expressionless at the moment.
Obviously, he wasn't paying attention to what Luis was saying.To Mitchel, Raegan had always been docile and never felt jealous
of anyone.
Her strict obedience was all Mitchel demanded from her in exchange for treating her well.
In the elevator.
Raegan held her breath just to hold back her tears.
Unfortunately, it didn't work.

She had thought two years would be enough for Mitchel to realize how much she loved him and reciprocate her love.
Now, it turned out that was just a pipe dream.
She realized she would always play second fiddle to Lauren, Mitchel's true love.
Reagan wiped her tears when the elevator halted.
Save for her pale face, she looked normal when the doors opened.
She dragged herself to the break room, intending to make herself a cup of tea.
Several employees were chatting inside.
"Guys, have you heard? Lauren Murray is back." "And who is that?" "Oh, my! You don't know her? Lauren is the heiress of the
Murray Group as well as a world-class designer.
Most importantly, she's the only girlfriend Mr. Dixon has ever shown off in public.
She's his first love!" "Why is her return such a big deal? Isn't it rumored that there is something between Mr. Dixon and Raegan?"
"Raegan? She's probably one of his many sex toys.
Mr. Dixon never admitted that he was dating her.
And that is no surprise to me.
After all, look at her.
She's not even that beautiful.
Yet, she behaves as if she's already Mrs.
Dixon.
What a fool!" Standing at the door, Raegan smiled with self-mockery as she listened to them.
It turned out everyone else saw the truth except her.
The love was one-sided.

"Ha-ha, has Mrs.
Dixon finally woken up from her wild dream?" A voice of mockery suddenly came from behind.
Raegan turned around to see Tessa Lloyd, Mitchel's cousin, who had always despised her.

Tessa must have also heard the employees gossiping.
The last thing Raegan wanted to do now was argue with Tessa in the company.
She turned to leave, but Tessa blocked her way.
With a cup of coffee in her hand, Tessa uttered sarcastically, "Lauren is back now.
Do you think Mitchel will still give you any attention?" Raegan said nothing to that.
Seconds later, Tessa continued the ridicule.
"I heard you are quite good in bed.
How about I introduce you to a couple of men? They could really use your service." Raegan clenched her fists and said coldly,
"Ms.
Lloyd, we are in the company, not a brothel.
If you are interested in that kind of business, you know where to go." "You..." Raegan had just insinuated that she was a pimp.
This made Tessa's face change.

do something so crazy. She held up her arms just to block the hot liquid from her face. In no time, the coffee burned her arm and her skin turned red. "Ouch!" Raegan frowned in pain. "What did you do

the floor. She had never expected that Raegan, who was so quiet and timid, would slap her.Tessa held her cheek and stared blankly for a while. Then, she stuttered, "You... You hit me? How dare you!" Raegan eyed her and replied, "Yes, I did! It seems you need to be taught simple politeness." Indeed, Raegan lost her parents when she was a child. But that didn't mean she would allow someone to walk over her for it. Wrinkles appeared on Tessa's face as she frowned in anger. As Mitchel's cousin, she was used to being fawned over and respected. This was the first time she had been treated like this. "You bitch!" Tessa charged at Raegan like a raging bull, raising her hand up high to return the slap. This time, Raegan was fully prepared for what was coming. She grabbed Tessa's wrist so tightly that the latter couldn't move another inch. Tessa was shorter than Raegan. As a result, Tessa struggled like an octopus that had one of its tentacles stuck in a fishing

baritone came from behind. Mitchel had left his office and ran into this hullabaloo. The entire room fell silent. "Mitchel?"

But when she remembered that Raegan slapped her, she put on a pitiful expression and sobbed.
"Mitchel, look at my face.
She slapped me." The sunlight from outside fell on Mitchel's handsome face.
Raegan felt so grieved all of a sudden, and lowered her head to look at the back of her arm which was scalded by the coffee.
Their gaze met in the air.
With a deep frown, Mitchel looked at Raegan and said, "Raegan, have you forgotten the rules of the company?" His ruthlessness
made Raegan's breathing cease.
She couldn't believe her ears.
No one dared to make a sound at this moment.
Raegan just stood straight there with her slender figure.
When she got employed here, Mitchel had told her that the Dixon Group wasn't a place for her to mess around and that he would
not tolerate her making any mistakes.
Raegan could understand why he took this stand.However, at this moment, she was desperate to know whether Mitchel had
heard those hard words Tessa scolded her or he was just pretending not to have heard because he agreed to those words.
Did he really see her as a tool for his pleasure? Scared to death by Mitchel's rage, the crowd soon dispersed.

to peep from a distance, unwilling to miss the good show. Mitchel's cold eyes made Raegan shiver from head to toe. Raegan pinched her palm to suppress her emotions as she looked at Tessa. "I'm sorry, Ms. Lloyd. As an employee of the Dixon Group, it was wrong of me to have hit you." Eyeing Raegan, Tessa raised her chin complacently. "Humph! Don't think you'll be let off the hook just by making a simple apology. I don't buy..." "The slap has nothing to do with the company. Personally, I refuse to apologize to you. Now, if you'd

Tessa's face turned blue after hearing what Raegan said. Never in her years of being alive had she been so humiliated. She was always the bully, not the victim! The humiliation was so much that tearing Raegan into pieces now wouldn't appease her anger. Pointing in Raegan's direction, Tessa shouted, "Mitchel, did you hear what that woman just said? She slapped me in the face,
