And he continued, “Whatever | say or do, you just don’t trust me. In that case, what's the point in talking?
| just want to give you a heads up, Ms. Tanner. Not everything goes according to plan, and with those amateur
sleuthing skills of yours, you might want to back off sooner rather
than later.”
Nolan was trying to keep Regina out of the whole mess; he wanted to get to the bottom of things himself.
Even if the developers were innocent, he had to make them cforward and clear things up. Otherwise, the
Harris Group would have paid a steep price for a piece of land only to be swindled. Wouldn't that be a huge loss
for them?
“How | handle this is none of your business. If the Harris Group is truly innocent, | would never falsely accuse
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou. I'm a journalist, and I'd appreciate it if you didn’t question my professional integrity.” Regina claimed.
Her boss was getting such a headache from their back-and-forth. Nolan had already warned Regina not to get
involved, but when had she decided to start digging into the developers? He didn’t recall giving his approval.
“Rest assured, Mr. Harris, we won't let Regina tackle this on her own. Besides, there are plenty of red flags
already. Maybe that homeless guy was just biting off more than he could chew.” He flashed a sycophantic smile,
which Regina caught and found particularly unsettling.
“Ablett isn’t like that. Don’t project your values onto him. If it weren't for that damned developer, he'd be living
happily with his family. Now he’s got nothing, and you want to sling mud at him?” she queried.
Nolan raised an eyebrow slightly, “It seems Ms. Tanner does have sskill. With so many reporters unable to
get a peep out of that man, how che spilled his guts to you?”
The boss nodded along. It was hardly pleasant for him to have his authority challenged in front of Nolan,
“As a journalist, you should know better than to take someone at his word without any other evidence. Just
because Ablett is pitiable, you believe everything he says? That's the last thing you should do.”
“I can’t take his word for it, which is exactly why I'm investigating the developers. And nobody is going to stop
me!” she fired back again.

her foot, flung open the door, and stormed out of his office, leaving Nolan behind in thought.
“I'm so sorry about that. The newbie comes from a bit of a background, so she’s a bit hot-headed. Please, Mr.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHarris, forgive her.”
But Nolan seemed unfazed. He reiterated that Regina must not be dragged into this, “When the tcomes, I'll
give everyone a reasonable explanation.”
The Boss was flattered. They were hardly deserving of an explanation from someone like
Nolan.
“Don’t worry, I'll make sure to hold Regina back.”
Nolan stood up, buttoning his suit jacket, “Since you've said as much, | have nothing to worry about. Carry on
with your work. | won't keep you.”
“No trouble at all, Mr. Harris. I'll see you out.”
With her bag in hand, Regina headed back to her apartment outside.
