When they arrived at Serenity Villas, Raegan thanked Hector. He only nodded at
her.
She was about to get out of the car when Hector suddenly held her wrist.
The palm of Hector’s hand pressed against the skin of Raegan’s wrist.
There was no barrier. So she could feel the high temperature of his palm.
Hector looked at her through the thin lenses of his glasses. He said, “I've already
given you my phone number. Call me if you need anything.”
Back then, when Raegan paid Hector back the money, the two of them had met
once, but only once.
On that day, she said, “Thank you for your help. I've transferred the money.
Please check the amount.” Hector just replied, “Okay.”
After saying that, he loosened his grip very quickly When Raegan opened the
door, she heard him say behind her, “Don’t be so embarrassed next time.”
ANGELA'sLIBRARY
Hector had a very good sense of proportion. When he spoke, he sounded like an
elder caring for a junior.
Raegan didn’t think much about it. She got out of the car and watched him drive
away.
She had no idea that a pair of cold eyes had been watching her from the
windowsill.
A deafening silence filled the villa.
Raegan noticed that the maid was nowhere in sight. The maid usually still had
not gone to bed at this time.
She shrugged it off and made her way upstairs to look for her suitcase.
Moonlight spilled into the room through open curtains, so she did not need to turn
on the light. She opened the cabinet door and was surprised to see that her
suitcase, the one she had stowed away before, missing, Click. The light flicked
on, illuminating the room.
Mitchel slowly approached her, his handsome face shadowed by a gloomy
expression.
“What are you looking for?”
Raegan was startled. She wondered how long he had been standing here, like a
ghost lurking in the shadows.
Wasn't he supposed to be at Lauren's birthday party?
But that didn’t matter now.
“Where's the maid?” Raegan questioned.
Mitchel ignored her query and repeated, “What are you looking for?”
“My luggage.”
“Do you plan on leaving?”
