Chapter 2713
The other reporters weren't exactly rallying around Ahab. After all, Ahab had launched a few
campaigns without success, and now, Regina, the rookie, had stumbled into a stroke of luck. They
were hardly thrilled.
But they wouldn't bad-mouth their interviewee. After all, they might have to work with Dahlia again.
If word got to Dahlia that they were talking smack, how could they expect to keep the lines of
communication open?
Still, curiosity ate at them. How did Regina manage to snag an interview with a subject that had
eluded everyone else?
When Regina got home, she didn't rest. She knew the chatter behind her back was inevitable, but
idle gossip was old hat to her.
Her home office, once a simple study, had been transformed into a command center plastered with
information about Dahlia.
It was only after she unearthed the ties between Dahlia and Nolan that she dug up everything she
could on Nolan. The deeper she delved, the more his accomplishments floored her. Who would
have thought someone so young could achieve so much?
No wonder Francis was bending over backward, practically dying to marry her off to him. It was a
pity that things had gotten a bit, well, complicated between them..
After their last communication, she had to admit, there was something about the Maybe they could
be friends, just regular friends.
Regina chuckled at the thought.
Who was she kidding? She was way out of his league.
Despite her familyâs modest wealth, they were small potatoes compared to Nolan.
Regina sighed. When would her shot at the big time come?
guy.
âRegina, what are you daydreaming about? You're meeting with Dahlia tomorrow. Get your head in
the game!â Regina told herself. She shook off the distraction and dove back into her research.
She was not one to go into battle unprepared. She was determined to make Dahlia see that turning
down her previous interview attempts was her loss. She had to make sure Dahlia would see the
value of her work, leaving no room for regret.
Regina had that confidence.
Her family had opposed her career choice, and she knew how others viewed her. Yet, she never
regretted it.
She was barely a teenager when she first saw a war correspondent on TV, and that image.

struck a chord. Since then, the seed to become a journalist had been planted. Although just an
intern for now, she believed she would climb the ladder and become the journalist. others aspired
to be.
Regina virtually pulled an all-nighter, crafting questions that were concise but wouldn't bore Dahlia
to tears. Especially since Dahlia had never been interviewed before, Regina had no idea what topics
might be off-limits.
Dahlia was a lady, after all. Regina hoped to make this first interview comfortable for everyone
involved and help Dahlia shake off any negative connotations associated with interviews. Otherwise,
Regina couldn't fathom why Dahlia would be so adverse to them.
Of course, she was also eager to probe into the relationship between Dahlia and Nolan. Who
wouldn't be curious about the love story between a young, dazzling dancer and a hotshot CEO?
She knew that once the interview aired, it would be a sensation.
Imagining the envious and begrudging looks from the seasoned reporters once she nailed this
story, Regina couldn't help but smile smugly.
After days of her colleague's condescension, she finally had a hot topic to work with. Spinning
around in her chair, she pumped herself up
for the next day.
Bright and early, Regina was all fired up, running on less than three hours of sleep and a shot of
espresso. She was ready to take on the world-or at least Dahliaâs interview.
