The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 2793

"Mr. Harris, have you ever considered a career in modeling?"

"Is that your roundabout way of complimenting my figure?" Nolan's laughter was light and easy, and Regina nodded without a hint of shyness. "Absolutely. You present everything here so well. And by the way, we'll take this outfit too."

Regina gestured broadly, and the shop assistant around them couldn't help but chuckle with amusement.

"You are such a lovely couple. Miss, you've got quite the eye, picking out the trendiest items for a man who wears them so well."

When others mistook them for a couple again, Nolan and Regina exchanged a glance. Recalling what Nolan had said in the office, Regina waved her hands awkwardly. "Sorry, you're mistaken. We're not a couple."

For some reason, this declaration didn't seem to sit well with Nolan. He remained silent, showing no inclination to clarify.

The shop assistant looked back and forth between them before finally nodding with an exaggerated understanding. "I get it now. So, this gentleman is still pursuing you, is he? Miss, a handsome man like this is hard to come by. You should hold onto him."

Regina was at a loss, her expression screaming 'help me out here' to Nolan. It was he who had told her not to overthink things, yet now he stood there, silent as a clam at high tide.

"Umm, miss, you've really got the wrong idea. There’s nothing between us – just purely colleagues."
