Raegan didn’t panic at all.
She just stepped to the side to avoid the juice that was spilled on the floor.
Kieran’s hand didn’t touch her, but he slipped by the juice and fell to the floor.
“Fuck!” Kieran cursed as he was on the brink of losing his mind.
He stood up painstakingly with one hand on his waist.
He gritted his teeth.
“You bitch! I’m gonna kill you!” “What’s going on here?” Nicole had begun to get worried after neither
Kieran nor Raegan returned for dinner.
She came out to look for them, only to be surprised by this scene.
Before Raegan could utter a word, Kieran beat her to it.
“Honey!” Kieran supported his waist with both hands as he said with grievance, “You won’t believe what
just happened.
Raegan wanted to add me as her WhatsApp friend, but I said no.
She then got very angry and splashed juice on me.” This lie rendered Raegan speechless.
What a lying bastard! She cursed in her mind.
Kieran looked at Nicole with doting eyes as he added, “Baby, you know, I’m faithful to you.
I said no to Raegan because I love you so much.
I…” “Ew! Eck!” Suddenly, Kieran’s words were interrupted by a series of retching noises.

“Oh, my bad.
It wasn’t intentional.
Please continue.” Raegan covered her mouth with an innocent look on her face.
Her face looked slightly green as if she was indeed feeling sick now.
Anger was written all over Kieran’s face at this time.
After being interrupted, the atmosphere he had just created was gone.
He could only say dryly, “You have to believe me, honey.” “Oh, Kieran, ” said Nicole, slapping Kieran’s
chest playfully.
“How could you be so silly?” Hearing this, Kieran felt very proud of himself.
This wasn’t the first time he was playing such a trick.
He had a way with women to the extent that those who fell for him were willing to end friendships
because of his words.
It didn’t matter how strong the friendship was.
In his eyes, Nicole was just one of those stupid women.
Kieran stretched out his arms and tried to hug Nicole.
But before he could get to her, he felt a sharp pain in his groin.
Nicole had given him a hard kick with her bent knee.
“Ouch!” Kieran cried as he curled up like a shrimp while cupping his crotch.
His face turned red.
“Wanna know why I said you were silly?” Staring down at Kieran with disdain, Nicole uttered, “You said
that Raegan wanted to add you as her WhatsApp friend.
It would be more convincing if you told me that pigs can fly!” “What? You are taking her side? Have you
forgotten how you said we are a match made in heaven? Why don’t you believe me now? You are
breaking my heart, Nicole.” Kieran was unwilling to give up just yet.
After all, Nicole was the biggest catch he had ever got.
She was young, beautiful, and filthy rich.
Most importantly, he was yet to sleep with her.
He didn’t want to break up with her now! Nicole’s eyes narrowed to slits.
With her arms folded, she raised her foot and brought it down on Kieran’s shoe.
“How dare you try to break up our relationship! Raegan and I have been friends for seven years! Do
you think I’d throw away my holy seven-year friendship with her because of our one-month-old
relationship? In your dreams!” After dealing with Kieran, Nicole lost her appetite for dining here.
She put her arm around Raegan’s shoulder and said, “Let’s go.
I’ll take you to another restaurant.
This bastard has contaminated this place.” Behind them, Kieran’s face was distorted with anger and his
expression was as cold as a snake.
He mumbled to himself, “This isn’t over yet, bitch.
One day, I’ll make sure you pay for this!” Nicole and Raegan went to another restaurant, which was a
very famous high-end restaurant in Ardlens.
After they made their orders, Raegan said, “Nicole, the truth is, I overhead that bastard saying that he
would drug you…” Before she could finish speaking, Nicole interrupted her by raising her hand.
“You don’t have to explain anything to me.
I’m certain that he did something awful to you.
You know I’m not that good at noticing red flags.
If it weren’t for you, I’d have fallen prey to that bastard and it would be too late.” Later, Nicole watched
as Raegan picked on her food.
She finally broke the silence.
“What are you going to do next?” Raegan understood what Nicole meant.
She stirred the bowl of creamy soup in front of her as she replied with a faint smile, “I’m planning to
resign from the Dixon Group.” “Are you sure about this? What are your plans for the future?” Nicole
asked worriedly, staring at Raegan’s pale face.
“My mind is already made up.
Leaving is the best decision for me.
Actually, I plan to do some freelance design work upon resignation, ” Raegan said indifferently.
She turned away slightly and her profile was delicate and beautiful.
Now that the only woman Mitchel had ever loved was back, she was nothing in his eyes anymore.
The last thing she wanted was to be the third wheel.
Raegan thought she should be sensible and make room for Lauran as soon as possible.
Nicole was delighted that Raegan made this decision.
After all, Mitchel was a complicated man.
She was afraid that Raegan would get hurt if she kept this relationship with Mitchel.
“You should have realized it a long time ago.
Why should you serve Mitchel like that every day? You are smart and capable.
You won various prizes with your works back in college.
A brighter future awaits you once you leave the Dixon Group.” In the past, when Raegan had a crush
on Mitchel, there were many things that Nicole couldn’t say, fearing that those words would hurt
Raegan.
Now that Raegan’s eyes had opened and seen through the situation, Nicole couldn’t be happier for her.
“Have you heard the latest?” asked Nicole with her eyes shining.
“Henley is back in town! Remember how everyone in college always said that you two made a good
pair?” Raegan almost choked on the soup.
She widened her eyes.
“Henley is back?” “Yes, what rock do you live under? I thought you had followed him on Twitter.
Henley Brooks, search him.
He is the latest fast-rising personality in the investment circle.” Raegan shook her head.
After graduation, she gave Mitchel all her attention.
She had lost all contact with her schoolmates, except Nicole.
“Honestly, I always thought that you and Henley would end up together.
You two looked like a good pair.
And he was so good to you despite the two-year gap between you two.
I was a little envious of you back then.” “Oh, please.
Henley was good to everyone back then.
He never treated me special.” It was no wonder that Raegan thought so.
She did think that Henley treated her well only because he was the president of the student union
whose responsibility was to take care of the newcomers.
Knowing Raegan was so blinded to the affection Henley showed, Nicole shook her head helplessly.
She chewed on a piece of steak and commented, “Silly girl.” “I heard Jarrod is back too.
Are you aware?” Raegan couldn’t help asking.
Jarrod Schultz was once engaged to Nicole.
Later, something serious happened to the Schultz family, so Nicole’s father called off the engagement.
Mitchel and Jarrod were quite close.
When Jarrod got back, they had a close partnership.
The smile on Nicole’s face froze before she said awkwardly, “Yeah, I know.” “Let bygones be bygones,
Nicole.
You guys didn’t work out.
Don’t waste your time like this.
I heard he’s going to get married soon.” Raegan tried to persuade Nicole because she knew Nicole
changed boyfriends frequently to get over Jarrod.
Raegan wanted the best for Nicole, so she wished Nicole could stop torturing herself like that.
Waving her hand, Nicole picked up her glass and raised it with a smile.
“I do not wish to dwell in the past.
Cheers!” After dinner, Nicole went to the underground parking lot to get her car while Raegan waited at
the entrance of the restaurant.
“Raegan? What a small world!” Someone suddenly called Raegan from behind.
As soon as she turned around, she saw Tessa glaring at her while gritting her teeth.
The news of her being kicked out of the Dixon Group had spread in the fashion world.
To avoid problems, the remaining investors of her fashion company withdrew their funding.
She had a huge loss within a few hours.
As a result, Tessa hated Raegan’s guts now.
To her pleasure, Lauren was back.
It was no secret that Lauren was the only woman Mitchel had ever loved so deeply.
Tessa figured that as long as she remained on good terms with Lauren, Mitchel would have no choice
but to help her out of this mess.
Tessa raised her chin and sneered, “Oh, are you here alone? Where is your guardian angel? There are
so many men on the street.
Why don’t you use your talents of seducing men to get one?” Raegan rolled her eyes and then smiled
at her.
“How is your face, Tessa? Did you put some ice on it?” Tessa almost popped a vein at this moment.
What a bitch! Raegan dared to add salt to her injury.
She must get back at Raegan for humiliating her in the Dixon Group last time and her financial losses!
Tessa snarled and was about to tear Raegan apart with her bare hands.
“You bitch!” “Tessa!” Tessa was stopped by a gentle voice abruptly.
Following the voice, Raegan saw a woman in a wheelchair who was behind Tessa.
This must be Lauren, Raegan thought to herself.
Lauren was wearing a graceful smile at this time.
Her demeanor and smile alone showed that she was a well-educated lady from a reputable family.
The only drawback was that she was so ill that she could only get around in a wheelchair.
Raegan previously read somewhere that Lauren had a blood coagulation disorder and she had to
spend so much time abroad to receive treatment from the best doctors in the world.
When Tessa saw Lauren, she suppressed her anger and said in a sarcastic tone, “It’s a great honor to
introduce you two.
Lauren, meet Raegan, Mitchel’s assistant.
While you were abroad, she worked round the clock to look after Mitchel.” Her words were plain, yet
explicit.
Anyone with a brain would understand what she was trying to say.
Lauren caught the drift.
Her face turned pale as she looked at Raegan.
