The woman was stunned by Raegan’s boldness, having assumed Raegan was one of her kind.
Shouldn’t Raegan be trying to win Mitchel back? How could Raegan insult her in Mitchel’s presence?
“So what? Sure, Mr.
Dixon may have flirted with me, but he’s not interested in you!” The woman’s fury twisted her features as she retorted without holding back, “And who’s to say how many have flirted with you in secret? Drop the innocent act! You’re no high-ss prostitute…”
Fuming over how close her schemes could have made it earlier, only to be thwarted by Raegan, the woman Lifted her hand in a huff, prepared to hurl the drink at Raegan.
But Raegan caught the woman’s wrist just in time.
“Whether I’m respectable or not isn’t your ce to say,” Raegan stated calmly.

After releasing the woman, Raegan watched as the ss ttered to the floor.

“Enough!” Mitchel’s voice cut through the air, deep and on the verge of erupting.
The woman smirked.

That’s something most of us can only dream of!”
The room filled withughter at Mr.
Ortega’s attempt to lighten the mood.
Theughter and jesting continued around them.
“It’s a rare sight indeed.

“Sure, if Mr.
Dixon weren’t here, maybe the rest of us would stand a chance.
But with him around, we’re all out of luck.

Meanwhile, Raegan felt lost, unable to pinpoint who Mitchel was rebuking.
Feeling out of ce, she questioned the point of this squabble.

Raegan bit her lip, fighting back her tears.
“Fine by me.
If it’s meant to be, it’ll be.
It’s best we don’t waste our time.
