Dahliaâs fans actually dare to dream of her marrying into their own kind of old money without weighing her own value.
âI bet itâs gotta be some daughter from the inner circle, you know, someone on their level. Otherwise, the Harris family wouldnât give her the time of day. Yâall are seriously underestimating the old guard in that family.â
âYeah, if I had a son that sharp, Iâd naturally want a daughter-in-law whoâs his match.â
âItâs the 21st century, folks, and youâre still playing by these medieval rules. Maybe the guy himself doesnât even think like that, and yâall are acting like wicked in-laws already! And saying Dahliaâs not good enough â do you even know her status in the dance world?
Sheâs returned from abroad with her reputation gold-plated, a rising star in the scene. Yet, in your mouths, itâs like sheâs nothing. Sheâs a self-made success, and I say sheâs more than good enough for your Mr. Harris. Sounds like someoneâs just bitter seeing others doing better than themselves.â
âHa, weâre just being realistic here. Whoâs richer than them? Weâre just ordinary folks with our monthly salaries, and minding their business is really pointless.â
âIsnât there a single employee from the Harris Group on this vast internet? They should know who the bossâs wife is, right?â
But the Harris Group folks didnât actually know who their bossâs wife was. Nolan had a whirlwind wedding. He simply instructed the IT department to update the website with a notice congratulating their CEO on his marriage the next day.
Plus, every employee got a hefty bonus because of the bossâ good news. Who would tak the money and still run their mouths off?
Everyone knew those jobs at the Harris Group were hot commodities. Only by holding onto their positions there could they hope for future benefits, and people out there were breaking down doors to get into the Harris Group.
Dahlia hadnât expected that giving Nolan space to think would result in news of his marriage.
As she scrolled through the announcement, she swept everything off her desk in a fit of rage. Even her agent stepped into the chaos with a sense of dread.
âLetâs get this mess cleaned up quick. We canât have Dahlia tripping over anything â her feet are worth their weight in gold.â
But Dahlia didnât seem to care one bit as she slumped onto the couch, âWhatâs so precious about my feet? I didnât even hold onto my man, so what good is talking about anything else?â
Sienna hurried over to sit beside her and tried to offer comfort, âMaybe itâs just wild rumors, you know? Heâs Mr. Harris, for crying out loud. How could he get married without anyone knowing? Donât you have his number? One call and youâd know if heâs really married or not.â
Besides, it just didnât seem right. Nolan hadnât been with another woman for would he suddenly find someone to marry?
She had a hunch there was more to the story than met the eye.
But Dahlia was too angry to listen to anyone.
Before anyone could tidy up, she sprang to her feet, grabbed her car keys, and headed for the door.
Sienna scrambled to stop her, âWhere the heck do you think youâre going? Do you have any idea how many paparazzi are out there waiting to snap your picture? Theyâre just waiting for you to lose it and to make you front-page news!â
Dahlia shoved her aside fiercely, âI just canât keep my cool, okay? Let them take their shots. Iâve been faithful to this man for years. Just days ago, we were watching a movie together, and suddenly he tells me heâs married to someone else? And Iâm the last to know? Donât you think thatâs just pathetic?â
