Chapter 2774

ince you have given me your word, I’ve got nothing to worry about, Mr. Harris. I bet >lett will be over the moon once he hears the news.”

egina folded her arms, portraying the look of someone who had reluctantly agreed not

meddle further.

ut Nolan knew she wouldn’t just fall in line. “Let me remind you one more time, Ms. anner, don’t you try snooping around that developer. If anything untoward happens, no ne will be able to save your skin.”

olan’s voice was stern, compelling Regina to hod obediently.

Alright, you’ve made your point, and I’m not one to court danger. I’ve asked all I wanted, nd you’ve given your answers. So, let’s leave it at that.” Regina was quick on her feet, tuffing her papers into her bag and marching out.

lolan remained seated, chuckling to himself. It had been a long time since anyone had

ared to leave before him.

Only Regina had the guts to pull that off. Just before she exited, she turned around with a

nowing smile.

Volan was puzzled.

‘You might not realize it, Mr. Harris, but when you’re feeling guilty, you always fiddle with your fingertips. Glad to have made that little discovery. Ta-ta!”

Regina strolled out of the café, feeling invigorated despite Nolan’s less-than-pleasant responses. She figured she had his measure now.

At least the man was sincere in his assistance, not just offering a helping hand for the sake of some cooperation with the Tanner family or out of respect for her father.

He was still smiling when Dahlia’s call came through.

‘Hello?”

Dahlia’s voice was as sweet as ever, a stark contrast to her public persona.

And Nolan’s tone softened, “What’s up? Calling me out of the blue.”

‘Can’t I just call you? There’s this new movie out starring my favorite actor. Come with me, won’t you?”

Excitement laced Dahlia’s voice, but Nolan hesitated. “With your current fame, wouldn’t you get snapped by the paparazzi if we go out?”

Dahlia pouted. “Fame? What fame? That interview hasn’t even been published yet. I could walk down Main Street, and nobody would bat an eyelid. So, are you in or not?”

Imagining Dahlia with her lips pursed, Nolan finally nodded in agreement, “Alright, I’ll accompany you. But if we end up on some gossipy front page with unflattering shots, don’t come crying to me.”
