The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 2770

Regina pressed her palms firmly against the boss's shoulders, guiding him to take a seat on the plush sofa.

"Boss, how am I giving you a hard time? Throughout this whole ordeal, I've been a victim, haven't I? I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out how to handle Ahab's slander, and here you and the higher-ups have been looking out for one of your own, taking care of this mess for me.

But I've gotta ask, why's Nolan in the mix? I've already caught wind of it anyway, so you might as well give me the lowdown. If he threw in a good word for me, I should be thanking him, right? You wouldn't want me to be indebted without even knowing it, would you?"

The words Regina spilled had nothing to do with the boss, but he couldn't help but wonder if Nolan's willingness to lend a hand meant he had taken a shine to Regina.

At the end of the day, as long as he could clear his own name, whatever went down between Regina and Nolan was none of his business.

"You, young lady, better not make a habit of eavesdropping outside my office door again!"

After taking a sip of his coffee, the boss finally spilled the beans about what happened after Regina stormed out that afternoon.

"I can't fathom how you lucked out this way. After the way you treated Mr. Harris, he's still so magnanimous, stepping up to bat for you against Ahab. Sure, for him, it's just a matter of pulling some strings, but with Ahab's uncle in the picture, it's a bit of a headache.

Of course, that's for folks like us. To Mr. Harris, those two don't even register as a blip on his radar. He just kept hammering home that we had to keep this hush-hush to ensure your reputation came out untarnished."
