The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 2735
It's almost laughable, really. They all despised the unfairness of it all, and as
journalists, it was their mission to shine a light on the darkness, but when it came
to their own backyard, they had no choice but to bow to reality.
Not Regina, though. She called out the office’s slick veteran right there in the
middle of the bullpen. Watching him puff up with indignation, yet utterly unable to
formulate a
comeback, was a vicarious thrill for everyone.

After all, Regina was only spitting straight facts. If he was as talented as he
claimed, why didn’t he go out and score his own interviews?
The guy was so full of himself, yet not a single source actually liked talking to
him.
“You just wait and see,” he sputtered, his face flushed with anger.
Regina crossed her arms and dropped her bag onto a chair with a thud. “Oh, are
you threatening me now? Let me tell you something, I don't get intimidated
easily. You want to play dirty? Go ahead. Is that all you've got, pilfering my
interview notes? For someone who's been in the game as long as you have, you
sure don't play by the rules. Leaning on your old age to get ahead? That's just
sad and eye-opening.”
“Who are you calling old?” he snapped. “You've got a lot of nerve for a newbie,
not giving a shred of respect to your seniors.”
Regina glanced nonchalantly at her watch. “Anything else you want to get off
your chest? If not, I've got a story to chase. Unlike some people who just sit
around the office waiting for scoops to fall into their lap, I don’t make a living
stealing other people's hard work.”
“You're slandering me! Be careful, or I'll take this to the boss,” he threatened,
though everyone knew he had snatched others’ stories before, especially from
rookies. But no one would dare to bring that up openly.
Regina, however, seemed to have no sense of this unspoken rule. She raised
her voice enough that it seemed like she wanted the whole building to hear.
“A grown man tattling? That's just embarrassing.”
He turned beet red, looking like he wanted to physically silence Regina, but she
was already striding out the door, bag in hand, leaving him to fume in circles
around the office. The other colleagues pretended to be engrossed in their
screens, though their smirks were evident enough. What they truly thought,
though, remained their secret.
“She thinks he can tackle any story, huh? We'll see how smug she is when she
comes back empty-handed,” he muttered, echoing the silent consensus.
Everyone knew today’s story wasn't going to yield much, just a time sink. Only

with the naive passion of a rookie like Regina would waste their time on a
nobody.
Regina went home to change into something more practical, stuffed a duffel bag
with sandwiches, granola bars, and disposable gear, and hurried off to the scene.
