The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 2788

"Why haven't you hit the gym today? You always used to preach about 'not a day without training'."

Nolan's eyes were glued to the file as Dahlia stood in front of him, chirping away about the movie they had just seen together.

In truth, Nolan had completely tuned out the film. Throughout the two hours in the cinema, he had been enveloped in an inexplicable irritation, though he never let it show on his face.

"You're right, but I'm human too, you know. Sometimes I just need a cheat day. And what's with you shooing me away today? Got a hot date with your girlfriend or something?"

Dahlia teased with a grin, but Nolan didn’t answer.

The next moment caught them both off guard as Lucy's voice came through the office landline, "Mr. Harris, Ms. Tanner is waiting for you in the lounge."

Dahlia’s face soured instantly, and Nolan’s fingers paused.

"I’ll be right there. Go ahead, I've got this."

"Sure thing."

Dahlia couldn't keep the smile on her face any longer. "Ms. Tanner, is she the reporter who interviewed me? Why is she here looking for you?"

"Well, you said it yourself, she's a reporter. It must be something about an interview. Why don't you head back first, since I’ve got a guest? I'll have the driver take you home."

Nolan stood up, clearly ready to usher Dahlia out, but she was rooted to the spot.

When did they start communicating so closely?
