The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 2761

“Ahab, I swear I've been calling your name for ages. What's the matter with you?”

Ahab scratched his head awkwardly and shuffled through the papers in his hand. “Huh? Did you call me? Sorry, must've spaced out... didn't catch a wink of sleep last night.”

His behavior only piqued curiosity. “Would you mind checking the draft I revised? See if it’s up to snuff?”

Ahab sheepishly accepted the document, avoiding eye contact with Regina.

“Sure... I'll give it a look. Why don't you head on back?”

Under the watchful eyes of the office, he slowly settled back into his chair.

After a while, he tried to sneak a peek at Regina, only to catch her staring at him with a thoughtful smirk. He immediately looked down.

Regina chuckled and shook her head. Ahab was even more of a pushover than she thought. She had planned a little trick to spook him, but now it seemed entirely unnecessary.

Besides, why waste her energy on a man who was so spineless and shirked responsibility?

When Regina finally turned her attention away, Ahab let out a sigh of relief.

After a bit, he straightened his shoulders again, thinking she might not even realize who was behind the exposé.

He had submitted the piece anonymously to a third-rate publication. Logically, no one should trace it back to him. And considering the number of colleagues Regina had rubbed the wrong way, who could guarantee it wasn't someone else's doing?
