Chapter 206
Is He Your Boyfriend The posture made Raegan hitch her breath.
Since Mitchel felt better, he started wearing shirts instead of hospital gowns.
As a reputable businessman, Mitchel paid much attention to his appearance.
Raegan thought he looked best in shirts.
His well-defined chest muscles stretched the white shirt, hugging his body tightly.
Such a charming and sexy appearance was so tempting.
When Mitchel cupped Raegan's face, she couldn't help wondering if he would kiss her.
Was her heart anticipating it? She closed her eyes, not daring to look at him.
Suddenly, she heard a pleasant chuckle.
Then, Mitchel's deep voice sounded in Raegan's ears.
"Why do you close your eyes?" Raegan was at a loss for words.
She suddenly opened her eyes, only to see him staring at her.
He reached out, pinched her cheeks, and said seriously, "I want to apologize to you." "Apologize? For what?” “For making you feel wronged.” As he spoke, his deep-set eyes never left her face.
What was he apologizing for? He was apologizing for Alexis’ attitude toward her.
Although Raegan was satisfied with how Mitchel dealt with the situation moments earlier, it still didn't change the fact that she was hurt and upset by Alexis ‘insults.
But now that Mitchel apologized on Alexis’ behalf, she felt much better.
Mitchel cupped Raegan's face again and stared at her intently.
"Now, can we continue where we left off?” Raegan's heart skipped a beat.
"Continue where we left off? What do you mean?" Mitchel gave her leg a nudge and reminded her, "About closing your eyes earlier.” Raegan closed her eyes earlier because she thought Mitchel would kiss her.
But she only misunderstood him.
It was too embarrassing.
Did he really have to bring it up again? She pursed her lips to cover up her embarrassment.
"I closed my eyes because they hurt.
It's not what you think it is." After saying this, she got off him.
"I have to go.
There's a monthly meeting at the office today.” Mitchel knew she was too shy to admit it, so he went along with her.
He decided to compromise.
"All right.
If you say so.
But...” Mitchel paused, reached out, and gently tucked her hair behind her ear.
"Promise me that if someone bullies you in the future, you will tell me." Raegan wasn't sure if it was because of his illness, but his voice sounded slightly hoarse and with a hint of doting.
Her heart beat like a drum.
She struggled for a while.
But in the end, she could only say, "I have to go.
I'll be late.” Mitchel seemed a bit disappointed.
But he didn't make things difficult for Raegan.
He let go of her hand without saying anything.
Raegan didn't dare to look at him again, fearing she could no longer resist his charm.
She hastily grabbed her bag and rushed out of the door.
She knew what he wanted to hear, but right now, she couldn't give it to him yet.
She couldn't just instantly become dependent on him again.
She thought maybe people who were hurt like her were always more sensitive and vulnerable than others.
If she experienced such pain again, she might break down and not even have the courage to stand up again.
This was what she feared the most.
At the office, Raegan had meetings in the afternoon, making her busy.
In her monthly evaluation, Raegan did an excellent Job.
Both of her students had improved by thirty percent.
For someone who had only started working less than a month ago, this was already tremendous progress.
This was all thanks to the customized learning programs Raegan had designed depending on the student's learning style.
She tailored individual plans for her students, and the amount of effort she had put into them could not be underestimated.
So it was not surprising that the results were impressive.
Raegan didn't just succeed casually.
She spent a lot of time, effort, and energy on her job.
During the meeting, her boss played a recording of the call from a grateful parent who thanked Raegan.
She was rewarded a bonus of ten thousand dollars.
Holding the bonus, Raegan couldn't help feeling emotional.
Everything was going well with her career.
The book she was translating for Henley was almost finished.
She now had enough money to pay her loan and for further studies abroad.
Also, the rehabilitation of her hand was going smoothly.
If nothing went wrong, she would definitely reach all her goals.
Raegan had a company dinner in the evening. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
As one of the awardees, she had no reason not to attend.
She thought for a while and sent Mitchel a message, saying, "The company is treating us to dinner tonight.
I can't come to the hospital." Mitchel quickly replied, “Where are you having dinner?” Raegan didn't think too much.
She told him the name of the restaurant.
During dinner, Raegan's coworkers proposed a toast to congratulate her.
She didn't drink, but she couldn't refuse them.
So, she reluctantly drank a small amount of low-alcohol fruit wine.
She knew her alcohol tolerance well, so she drank slowly.
But she was really happy today.
Her colleagues were very nice to her, and they took care of her.
Everything was getting better and better.
Even her relationship with Mitchel was getting better.
Before Raegan realized it, she had already drunk too much.
After dinner, a male colleague offered to give Raegan a ride.
She wanted to refuse, but her other colleagues insisted on sending her to that man's car.
Raegan nearly stumbled.
Fortunately, that man was agile enough to support and help her stand firm.
Raegan regained her balance.
She took a step back and said, "Thank you.” Then, that man blushed.
He hesitated for a while.
But in the end, he didn't say anything.
Someone in the crowd laughed and said, "Toby, you can’t win over anyone like this.
Be brave!” Being encouraged by everyone, Toby Gray plucked up the courage and said, "Raegan, this is the first time you have ever talked to me.
1 hope you can give mea chance to know you.” On the first day Raegan arrived at the company, Toby had already noticed her.
He had never seen anyone as beautiful as her.
She was like the flowers in spring, the rain in summer, the falling leaves in autumn, and the snow in winter.
She was like a beautiful painting.
What was more, she was exceptionally hard-working.
Raegan raised her head and looked at the man.
It was only then that she noticed his appearance.
He was a handsome young man with two canines, exuding a youthful charm.
She might have exchanged polite smiles with him, but she didn’t have a strong impression of him.
But she was still very polite.
She smiled and stretched out her hand to him.
"Of course, we can get to know each other.” Toby was so excited that his hand trembled when he stretched it.
He didn't let go of her hand for a long time.
Other colleagues got so impatient that they wanted to forcefully pry his hand away.
Suddenly, someone held Raegan's hand and dropped it gently.
Raegan was still smiling.
She looked up and saw Mitchel's handsome face.
His eyes were deep and intoxicating.
Since she was under the influence of alcohol, she was slightly dazed.
Raegan stared at Mitchel for a while.
He also fixed his eyes on her.
His eyes shone as if the stars in the sky came down and moved there.
She was so mesmerized that she couldn't move.
Being stared at him somehow made her feel guilty, even though she didn’t do anything wrong.
The colleagues around them looked at Mitchel and then at Raegan in surprise.
“Raegan, is he your boyfriend?" Raegan was about to shake her head when Mitchel's large hand suddenly grabbed the top of her head.
Then, he said to her colleagues politely, "I'm sorry, everyone.
] need to pick my woman up and take her home first." The words "my woman” instantly struck a chord with the women in the group, causing a wave of screams.
Their eyes sparkled as they leaned closer to Raegan and started whispering to her, “Is your boyfriend a celebrity? Oh, my God! He is so handsome.
But I haven't seen him on TV.” Raegan was at a loss for words, not knowing how to answer their questions.
Mitchel nodded at them politely, said goodbye, and pulled Raegan away.
He wore a khaki trench coat that outlined his broad shoulders and long legs.
He held her in his arms and took her to the car.
As soon as they both got in the back seat, he pulled her onto his lap and hugged her tightly, regardless of the driver in the driver's seat.
Raegan immediately resisted.
She raised her arms to push Mitchel away.
"Don't move," Mitchel said hoarsely.
Raegan was not used to sitting on his lap, facing each other intimately.
She felt embarrassed, especially with those deep and affectionate eyes staring at her.
But she calmed herself down and said, "Put me down so we can talk." Mitchel looked at Raegan and asked solemnly, "If I didn't come over, would you take that man’s car?" Raegan looked at him speechlessly with her mouth slightly gaped open.
She didn't know that Mitchel, the mighty CEO, would be jealous this easily.
She corrected him, "He has a name.
He is Toby Gray.” "Oh, you really remember his full name, huh?" Mitchel's voice was deep, and it carried a hint of danger.
However, the alcohol in Raegan's system had already taken effect, making her a bit lightheaded.
She glanced at him and said, “Of course I do.
] have a good memory, after all.
Why did you interrupt me just now? It seemed like he wanted to tell me something...
Umm...” Before Raegan could finish her words, a figure quickly pressed over her.
