“Alright, Dahlia, you should head on home now”

“Why won’t you let me speak? I’m telling the truth. Can’t Ms. Tanner handle it?”

Dahlia’s pout, the look of hurt innocence on her face, made Regina’s demeanor cool noticeably.

“Dahlia, if you’ve got something to say, just come out with it. No need to beat around the bush. You’re acting quite different from the interview – back then, I thought you were straightforward.”

Regina shifted her gaze away, unable to discern the true Dahlia. They chatted pleasantly during the interview, but now she seemed to have transformed entirely, almost resembling the scorned woman she had portrayed in the dance recital.

“Oh, aren’t you also being devious? I’m warning you, stay away from Nolan, and cut out your little schemes.

We’ve all been around the block, and I know exactly what you’re up to!”

Regina couldn’t help but laugh at Dahlia’s words.

“It seems our last interview wasn’t long enough for me to discover this humorous side of you, Dahlia.”

Dahlia’s face was serious, her previous air of superiority gone. She had never expected to hit a wall; Regina was unfazed by her words. “What do you mean by that? Don’t change the subject!”

“I’m just saying, Dahlia, it’s understandable if you don’t want to be decent. Bu assume everyone else is as keen to play the role of the vixen like you.”

Regina’s words were laced with sarcasm, and even Lucy was on the verge of b laughing. They had all thought Ms. Tanner was just a pretty face, but she had Da notorious for her tantrums, stumbling over her words!

Ms. Tanner was truly formidable, unnerving Dahlia so easily that her icy facade was slipping.

There truly is always someone better out there

Even Nolan couldn’t help but crack a smile, which to Dahlia, was unforgivable.

“Nolan, are you joining her in mocking me?”

The disbelief was written all over her face.

“It was all for you – but you’ve really let me down!”

With those resonant words, Dahlia stormed out, nearly knocking Regina off balance.

Well, no need to worry about calling a driver for her now.

Though Nolan knew the aftermath would be tricky, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief at this moment.

“Lucy, what did I tell you? Do you think you can just barge into the CEO’s office whenever you like now?”

Lucy immediately hung her head in shame, “I’m sorry. It was my mistake.”

She didn’t try to justify herself, but Regina, somewhat anxious, rushed to explain, “It wasn’t Miss Lucy’s intention to open the door. It was me… I was worried something might happen, so that’s why I…”

“There are some things that you can do but she cannot as my executive secretary. Alright, you should go now, and let’s not have a repeat of this.”

Lucy, clearly relieved, quickly left the office, gently closing the door behind them.

It was only when the office was left with just the two of them that Regina felt the slight awkwardness.

The once spacious office suddenly felt confining.
