The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 2699
Regina suddenly turned to him, flashing a smile tinged with unmistakable sorrow.
“It's a good thing you're my audience, Nolan. Anyone else might think I'm just
whining about nothing. Being born into a family like this and still feeling so down,
sounds. ridiculous, doesn’t it?”
Nolan remained silent, his face free of any mocking expression.
After a long pause, he finally spoke, “We can’t choose our birth or family, but
what we do have control over is our own destiny. If you only see the chains that
the surname “Tanner’ has placed on you, then you'll be trapped by them for life.
But if you can see the leverage it gives you, then your life could be quite different.
Of course, Ms. Tanner, you're already working hard towards your goals. Maybe
you're just momentarily disheartened, and you don’t need anyone else to dictate
what your life should be.”
Regina was taken aback, not expecting such a heartfelt conversation from their
less than pleasant introduction.
“Thank you, I mean it. I didn’t expect you to be so comforting. You saw it earlier;
this house isn't the same one I grew up in. Often, I feel powerless against what
it's become.
Maybe that's why I've been so despondent. You're right, though, the Tanner
name has brought me many things, like wealth, perhaps?”
With a playful arch of her brow, Regina teased, prompting a laugh from Nolan.
“You can still joke, that's a good sign, Ms. Tanner.”
“Well, Mr. Harris, you're much wittier than I imagined. If it weren't for our awkward
start, we might have been great friends. But as I said before, if I didn't do
something, then I didn’t do it. Maybe you can check your end to see if Dahlia left
your seat mixed up.”
Regina's candor was refreshing to Nolan, who hadn't spoken so freely with
someone in long time. Her straightforwardness spared him the task of
interpreting hidden meanings which he found quite liberating.
“Since you have suggested it, I will definitely look into it. If it's a
misunderstanding, I hope we can clear it up the next time we meet.”
Regina nodded. “I'm sure we'll see each other again soon.”
She thought about the exclusive interview she could now pursue, not to mention
the simmering tension between him and Dahlia.
“Mr. Harris, you've been out here for quite some time. How about we go back in
for a glass of red wine? It's a vintage my mother saved for me when I was young-
very precious indeed.”
“Well, if you insist, I must try it, Ms. Tanner.”

Chapter 2699
Regina was reluctant to share her mother’s treasured wine, but Nolan's earlier
advice had genuinely taken her by surprise. Yet, she knew that in the cutthroat
world of business, a man like Nolan wouldn't have climbed to his position by
being naive.
And it was evident he kept his cards close to his chest.
