Nolan shook his head, dismissing the concern. “It’s nothing, probably just my imagination.”
Dahlia’s heart had been thumping in her throat and she quickly reassured him, Turns out no one’s really paying attention to me after all. I told you, aside from my fans, nobody really knows who I am.”
It wasn’t until they were back in the car that Nolan let out a sigh of relief, cracking a smile. “One day you’re going to be so famous, you won’t be able to just pop out on the street like this.”
Dahlia clutched a bag of chestnuts, though she didn’t seem to want to eat them.
“Really? I’m kind of looking forward to that day”
“I thought you’d hate it. Always in the spotlight Given your personality, I’d think you’d prefer your freedom. You’re not even keen on interviews.”
She hugged the bag tighter. “I don’t mind interviews. It’s just that I can’t stand the reporters who come at me with nonsensical questions. They care more about gossip than my art. An interview with them is pointless.”
“So, you chose Regina.” The words slipped from Nolan’s mouth, and Dahlia looked at him, surprised. “I didn’t think you paid attention to my schedule.”
“I’ve met her a couple of times because of her father. We got off on the wrong foot initially, just misunderstandings. She’s straightforward easy to get along with.”
A sour feeling twisted in Dahlia’s gut. This was the first time she’d heard Nolan highly of another woman.
She couldn’t help but retort, “And how do you know she’s not just putting on a s in your good graces? Nolan, you should know that these women flock to you fo reason.”
Nolan frowned; he didn’t like Dahlia talking about Regina that way.
“I told you, didn was her father’s guest, and I sure didn’t know she was a Tanner. Besides, I’m not so naive kid. I can tell if someone is being sincere,” the first time we met, we didn’t even know who the other was o
Dahlia looked hurt, “You’ve only met her a few times, and you’re defending her over me Nolan, I didn’t mean anything by it. I just don’t want you getting hurt again. If you don’t hearing me talk about Ms. Tanner, I’ll remember that.”
Though she tried to hide it, her turned-away face said it all.
Nolan sighed internally, feeling weary. He decided to drive straight to the movie theater’s

underground parking, and only when he turned on the dome light did he gently tug at Dahlia’s arm. “I’m sorry, okay? Stop crying in secret.”
Dahlia pushed his hand away with a sniffle, her voice choked, “So I’m being petty, right? If you like Regina so much, go to the movies with her.”
“What are you talking about? I’m not that close with her.”
Dahlia turned back in shock, her eyes wide. “Are you saying you’ve thought about going to the movies with her? When did you become so trusting?” NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Nolan grew a bit impatient. “I haven’t thought about it; I was just following your line of reasoning. Besides, Ms. Tanner isn’t like that.”
