Chapter 2719
After some digging, it was clear that Nolan had been a paragon of virtue for all these years; he
hadn't so much as glanced at another woman.
Dahlia was confident that she had been the queen of his heart throughout all that time.
But whenever Dahlia tried to take their relationship to the next level, Nolan would push her away
with an indifferent, almost cruel attitude.
She knew he was trying to punish her, but hadn't enough time passed already?
Another argument ended in exhaustion, and Dahlia, feeling defeated, took a step back and
conceded, âAlright, alright, let's just drop it. I know I messed up. I just wanted to cheer you up today,
but it turned out to be a big misunderstanding.
Let's not talk about it anymore. I'm heading home. There's a charity event this Sunday. I'll save your
usual spot.â
Nolan remained silent until Dahlia was about to leave. Then he asked, âThat number you
left for me last time, was it really seat 008?"
"What?" Dahlia spun around, half expecting Nolan had found out about the mix-up with the staff.
She forced a smile. âWhy would there be a mistake? I never mess up these little
details.â
Nolan frowned as he said, âDid your staff get it wrong but didnt tell you? Regina doesn't strike me
as someone who would lie about the trivial things.â
my integrity over a Dahliaâs expression darkened as she asked, âAre you questioning my integrity
woman you've barely known for a few days? How many times have I reserved a seat fo you without
issue? Just because she bought a scalped ticket and ended up next to you you doubt me? Nolan, in
all the years you've known me, when have you half-hearted about dance?â
ever seen me
Cornered, Nolan could only nod dismissively.â
get it. Now go on home.â
He couldnât explain it, but he felt an unaccountable trust in Regina. Perhaps it had something to do
with her profession.
Seeing his disinterest in continuing the conversation, Dahlia sighed and left.
When she arrived at Nolan's office the next day, she put on her brightest smile. âLucy, you've been
working so hard. Here are some pastries I picked up for you.â
âIt's no trouble at all. It's my job, but thank you, Dahlia.â
But beyond polite thanks, Lucy offered no further reaction; she knew Dahlia was circling back to
Nolan's personal life yet again. As Nolan's secretary, she knew whose salary she was earning and
what she should and shouldn't disclose.

"What does Nolan usually do after work?â asked Dahlia.
âI'm not privy to Mr. Harrisâ personal schedule after hours.â
Dahlia pressed her, teeth nearly clenched, âCan't you smell if there's another woman's perfume on
him?â
âI'm sorry, Dahlia, but I don't get that close to Mr. Harris. If you really
want to know, perhaps you should try getting closer to Mr. Harris yourself. You might find out faster
than by asking me.â
Despite her impatience, Lucy maintained a professional smile.
She was accustomed to the push and pull between these two, but she wondered what Nolan's real
intentions were. Could this woman truly end up as the CEO's wife? The thought was almost
laughable; such a neurotic woman was hardly a suitable match.
After several more minutes of fruitless questioning, Dahlia flipped her hair and strutted
out of the CEO's office.
Lucy exhaled in relief. Being an executive secretary was no easy job, but at least her paycheck was
worth the trouble.
