The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 2761
“Ahab, I swear I've been calling your name for ages. What's the matter with you?”
Ahab scratched his head awkwardly and shuffled through the papers in his hand.
“Huh? Did you call me? Sorry, must've spaced out... didn’t catch a wink of sleep
last night.”
His behavior only piqued curiosity. “Would you mind checking the draft I revised?
See if it's up to snuff?”
Ahab sheepishly accepted the document, avoiding eye contact with Regina.
“Sure... I'll give it a look. Why don’t you head on back?”
Under the watchful eyes of the office, he slowly settled back into his chair.
After a while, he tried to sneak a peek at Regina, only to catch her staring at him
with a thoughtful smirk. He immediately looked down
Regina chuckled and shook her head. Ahab was even more of a pushover than
she thought. She had planned a little trick to spook him, but now it seemed
entirely
-unnecessary.
Besides, why waste her energy on a man who was so spineless and shirked
responsibility?
When Regina finally turned her attention away, Ahab let out a sigh of relief.
After a bit, he straightened his shoulders again, thinking she might not even
realize who was behind the exposé.
He had submitted the piece anonymously to a third-rate publication. Logically, no
one should trace it back to him. And considering the number of colleagues
Regina had rubbed the wrong way, who could guarantee it wasn't someone
else's doing?
With that thought, Ahab felt his confidence swell. He had followed her secretly
that one night, and that had led to a sensational scoop for the paper — a veritable
scandal.
Grinning to himself, Ahab couldn't wait for Regina to catch flak from the higher-
ups. Their company was strict about ethical conduct; even petty thievery was
grounds for dismissal, let alone Regina's supposed infractions.
But Ahab had forgotten something crucial: in this scenario, Regina was the
victim. His surreptitious photographing and manipulative editing to slander a
colleague were the real ethical breaches.
Regina hadn't yet decided how to deal with Ahab. Honestly, she felt tainted just
from interacting with him. Since she'd started at the company, she had never
encountered a colleague as pestering and entitled, coasting on family
connections, poaching work from others, and not even bothering with basic
reporting — leaving it to the interns and then

claiming their hard work as his own.
And yet, such a man somehow managed to keep his job for so long. It was
grossly unfair. Lost in thought, Regina was interrupted.
“Everyone, let's take a break. The Boss wants us all at a department meeting at 2
PM sharp today and tomorrow.”
Regina looked up from her files, puzzled. It was an odd time for a staff meeting;
their Boss usually disliked such interruptions.
