Love Unbreakable

Chapter 290 Cunning Mitchel

"Relax. I'm not going to ask you to do anything. Just know you can't hide from me during the month forever. You're going to have to be with me whenever you're free," Mitchel said indifferently. What he truly wanted was to spend more time with Raegan.

"That will not be possible!" Raegan yelled. She did not want to spend any time with Mitchel at all. O

"Well, if you insist on filing for a divorce, which could take like two or even five years, go ahead. Be my guest. My legal team/ can never let me down. You can leave now, if that's all. Mitchel returned his focus back to his work and ignored Raegan as if she wasn't there.

Raegan was filled with unimaginable anger and resentment. "Are you really that bored, Mr. Dixon? I'll hire someone to be with you instead. How does that sound? Whether it'll be five hundred thousand or five million, I don't care! I'll pay for it!" O Mitchel took a glance at her. "I need you. Not anyone else." His piercing gaze reminded Raegan of the other day when he was on top of her. Her cheeks flushed furiously. "You're absolutely shameless! You're nothing but a shitty bastard..."

"Don't forget you're the one begging for a divorce," Mitchel interrupted coldly.

Raegan's mouth went shut. She silently cursed, "What a sly and annoying man!"

Raegan started to consider his proposal. It was only for a month. What could have happened if she stuck to her ground?

She would make him regret it to the point where he'd be the one to ask for a divorce.

With that in mind, Raegan declared, "Fine, but promise me you won't come to me unless I am free."

"I give you my word."

"Well, goodbye then," Raegan said as she stood up.

"Where do you think you're going? You're to stay here with me," Mitchel said through a frown. He put emphasis on the "with me" which made Raegan's blood boil.

"I'm busy today."

"It's the weekend. You work on the weekends?"

"Uh... I have to take care of..." Raegan tried to find an excuse.

"I don't think our little agreement would work then. We should just forget it," Mitchel cut her off.

Raegan's jaw dropped slightly. How dare he! She sighed. "Our agreement starts today then?"

Mitchel's gaze hardened. They were in the same room, but their minds thought different things. He wanted to save their marriage and she just wanted to run away.

"Yes," Mitchel responded.

"It's not wise for me to stay in your office all the time. The staff might begin to gossip." Raegan's issue wasn't the fact that people would gossip. She just didn't like the idea of being in the same room with Mitchel.

"Nobody is going to gossip about anything. Rest assured," Mitchel said. Despite his words, he couldn't wait to teli everyone that Raegan was his wife. 

According to his schedule, Mitchel had a meeting to attend.

"Inform Matteo if you need anything," Mitchel said as he rose from his chair.

Raegan nodded.

Once Mitchel was gone, Raegan sneezed. She walked over to the window and opened it. "It's so stuffy. The place really affects my entire mood. I would like to make a few changes, Matteo."

"Sure," Matteo responded, knowing Raegan was Mitchel's wife. Not long after, he regretted having agreed so readily.

The renovation team kept walking in and out of Mitchel's office for the entire afternoon.

The renovation team was perplexed by Mitchel's new preference. Practically everything was green. A green sofa, desk, chair, file cabinet, even the carpet... They wondered what had happened. What was with Mitchel's sudden love for green?

Raegan wasted millions of dollars to transform Mitchel's office.

When Matteo walked over after finishing his work, he thought he had accidentally walked into the wrong office. After a couple of seconds, he realized he was in the right place. He almost lost his sight due to how green everywhere was.

Mitchel finished his meeting and was about to return to his office when Matteo stopped him. Mitchel frowned in confusion. "What's wrong?"

"We... Well... Mr. Dixon... You see..." Matteo stammered.

Mitchel lifted his foot, ready to head for his office, prompting Matteo to speak quickly. "Maybe you should come back to your office sometime later?"

"Let me through. Now." Mitchel's tone was cold and sharp.

Matteo stepped aside quietly.

Mitchel opened the door to his office, took one step in and froze completely.

Raegan who was hiding behind the green sofa jumped out wearing a green hat. "Surprise!" she cheered. O

Matteo cringed, feeling helpless.

Mitchel stood there silently. He narrowed his eyes. No one could tell what he was thinking about.

"Well? What do you think?" Raegan asked excitedly, expecting Mitchel to get mad.

"It's great... I love it," Mitchel squeezed out these words through gritted teeth.

Raegan could tell that he didn't like it. "I knew you would!" she chirped.

Raegan took out a blue wool hat and extended it to him. "Put this on. I prepared it especially for you."

Despite her serious look, Raegan was complacent. She would try every trick in the book to make Mitchel want a divorce.

Mitchel watched Raegan silently for a while.

To Raegan's and Matteo's surprise, Mitchel took the hat and placed it on his head without uttering a word.

Raegan was shocked to the core. She didn't anticipate his behavior. He was supposed to be furious and ask for a divorce, right? What happened to his temper? Raegan couldn't believe her eyes. She grew frustrated and sat on the sofa with an annoyed expression. O

Meanwhile, the head of the renovation team was still waiting for the payment outside the office.

Matteo didn't pay because he had thought the furniture would be returned later.

But surprisingly, Mitchel signed the bill without hesitation.

Matteo's mouth fell slightly ajar. Mitchel looked way too happy. What was going on? Was he actually okay with his office's new look?

Still stunned, Matteo blamed himself for being careless. He took out the notebook and wrote it down.

Later in the afternoon, Mitchel didn't stay in his office for long. He was busy with meetings.

Raegan was extremely bored. She called Erick and asked him to find out what Mitchel despised most.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

At first, Erick didn't support the idea of their agreement. He feared that Raegan would fall for Mitchel and be hurt again. But Raegan believed it was the fastest way to get divorced.

Raegan had analyzed the situation. If they really went to court, even though she had no memory about the past because of the car incident, Mitchel's lawyer could use her another marriage as a bargaining chip, since she had married another man while she was abroad. That means it would take her a while to get divorced. She had terrible luck. Yet, she couldn't wait to rid herself of him.

It was almost time to get off work when Matteo walked up to Raegan. "Madam, Mr. Dixon would like you to attend a business dinner with him this evening."

"Huh? No way. I thought I was finally free to leave now," Raegan refused.

Matteo gave her an apologetic smile. "But... Mr. Dixon said you must attend with him tonight. No matter what."

Raegan was rendered speechless. At the end of the day, she got in the car reluctantly. How could he take advantage of her like that? Who did he think he was?

After they arrived at the place, Raegan got out of the car, leaving Mitchel behind as he stayed in the vehicle to deal with something important.

It had rained a while ago so it was a bit cold outside. Raegan decided to wait for Mitchel in the hall.

The doorman greeted Raegan politely as she stepped out of the vehicle.

Raegan didn't know the exact location of the dinner was being held, so she walked up to one of the ushers. "Excuse me. I'm waiting for someone."

The man took in Raegan's appearance and assumed that she must be here with some big shot. He smiled at her politely and remained quiet.

A couple of seconds passed and a woman's flattering voice was heard. "Mr. and Mrs. Potter! What a lovely coincidence! It's so nice to see you here."

A middle-aged man looked at the woman, a confused look on his face. "Uh... Do I know you?"

"You don't remember me? Lauren Murray, the design director of Alpire Studio!"

Lauren Murray? One of Alpire Studio's designers? Raegan's eyes lit up as she recalled where she had heard the name. Erick had mentioned this name in the ward before. She was Reagan examined Lauren who had nice eyebrows and charming eyes. Truth be told, Lauren didn't look bad in general but looked like a bitch.

"Oh yes, I remember." Vicente pretended to recall, but in truth, he had no idea who Lauren was.

Lauren was not discouraged. She took out an invitation card and handed it to Vicente. "We're holding a release conference for the new products next week. On behalf of Alpire Studio, I look forward to seeing both you and your lovely wife at the event."

Raegan noticed how Lauren rubbed the back of Vicente's hand as she handed him the invitation. She even nudged him with her leg while Vicente's wife was busy checking out the invitation. Raegan felt disgusted.

Raegan unlocked her phone and was about to call Matteo to ask him which chamber he had booked. But she accidentally took a picture. The flash of the camera caught the attention of the three immediately.

Lauren walked up to Raegan immediately. "You! Did you..."

Lauren trailed off as she got a closer look at Raegan. She became pale as if she had seen a ghost. "You... R... Raegan..."

Seeing Lauren knew her, Raegan was not surprised. After all, according to what Erick had filled her in, Lauren loved Mitchel deeply and had done tons of crazy things against her in the past.

Lauren finally recollected herself after a while. "How are you still alive?"

Raegan couldn't believe her ears. "I could ask you the same thing," she retorted.

"You bitch! How dare you!" Lauren snapped through gritted teeth. "What picture did you just take?"

"Nothing. I just accidentally turned on the flashlight. I didn't take any photos. Relax." Raegan shrugged.

Lauren glared at Raegan, clearly unconvinced. "Cut the crap! Let me see your phone."

Vicente grew uneasy. He didn't stop Lauren from touching him just now..He was actually even thinking of having a secret meeting with Lauren later.

Yet, he didn't expect someone to take a photo. If his wife found out, he'd be doomed. Therefore, he stepped forward, pretending to speak for Lauren. "Miss, it's absolutely unacceptable to take photos of others without their consent. Hand over your phone and delete any photos you have taken."

Raegan scoffed. Vicente was just a shitty bastard. Her grip on her phone tightened, she glared at the two of them. "I had said I didn't take any photos. Why are you two panicking so much?"

"What? Are you trying to say we're guilty or something?" Lauren narrowed her eyes at Raegan. "Are you going to hand it over or not?"

Raegan stared at Lauren coldly. "No. Why should I give you my phone?"

The doorman noticed the commotion and walked up to the scene. "What's wrong, Miss Murray?"

The doorman knew Lauren since she frequented the restaurant. Words had it that Lauren was the design director of Alpire Studio and was supported by a big shot. But it was the first time he saw Raegan. He assumed Raegan was just one of those women who came to the restaurant to hook up with rich men. 

Lauren pointed at Raegan accusingly. "She took photos of me secretly! Help me get her phone and delete the photos!"

The doorman saw the opportunity as a good chance to get on Lauren's good side. He decided to seize the opportunity. He put on a straight face at Raegan and asserted, "Miss, please cooperate. Otherwise, I'd have no choice but to call the security." -
