Chapter 520 Did You Just Show Concern For Me (Part One) Raegan's mind was in turmoil, her thoughts a chaotic whirl.

Raegan forced a smile, though it was strained. "Ms. Craig." The woman, the head of the media department, was direct and easy for

Raegan replied, "Seafood stew." She had been eager to try the seafood stew Katie claimed was delicious.

The waitress apologized, "I'm sorry, but we've run out of the seafood stew for today." Ms. Craig, always enthusiastic and thoughtful, noticed Raegan's disappointment and tried to uplift her spirits. She gestured toward a large pot being delivered to another table. "Do
