Raegan shook her head definitively and said, “Don’t worry. He won’t come back.”The look in Mitchel’s eyes before he left conveyed finality. This time, they were really over, and Raegan was certain of it.This was the outcome she had expected when she decided to involve Henley.
After getting dressed, Henley noticed Raegan seemed a bit worn out, so he didn’t say anything more. He simply handed her thebook that needed translation.
This was a favor Henley was doing for Raegan. One of his foreign clients was into this novel and was willing to pay big bucks fora translated version. However, his language was rare, and finding a translator was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Thankfully, Henley recalled Raegan’s proficiency in this foreign language while they were in college.
Raegan had once been chosen by the schoo! to act as a translator for a visiting delegation from that country during a culturalexchange.
What he didn’t realize back then was that Raegan had picked up this rare language not out of pure passion but because of thelucrative translation opportunities it presented.
Back then, her grandmother’s health was failing, and Raegan needed funds not only for her expenses but also for medical bills.Given the saturation of more common languages in the job market, she focused on mastering this lesser-known Language toensure financial stability.
Raegan couldn't help but feel grateful to Henley for this opportunity since she was preparing to study abroad and needed a lot ofmoney.
In a soft tone, she said, “Henley, I'm sorry about today. You have done so much for me, and | shouldn’t take advantage of you formy benefit.”
Sensing her sincerity, Henley, initially hesitant to say anything, found himself impulsively asking, “Raegan, would you considerbeing my girlfriend?”

“| can’t be with her anymore. She is happy now, and | want to find my happiness too. Let's give it a shot. What do you think?”Henley was quite good at hiding things he wanted to hide.

This sudden confession left Raegan stunned.But she assumed Henley wasn’t too keen on her and didn’t take his proposition seriously.
She politely declined, “I’m sorry, Henley. I’m not looking to be in a relationship right now. You are amazing, and you deservesomeone better.”
“Raegan, don’t underestimate yourself. You excel in every aspect in my eyes.”Henley’s words were open and sincere. He sounded like he truly appreciated her.
Before Raegan could respond, Henley continued with a smile, “As you venture onto a broader stage in the future, there will beplenty of men pursuing you. Don’t turn me down immediately. Give me time to prove myself. Then, you can decide whether toaccept me or not.”
