The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 2866

Lucy was as frosty as ever, a veritable ice queen with the emotional range of a robot.

Regina, puzzled, asked, "I've never posed with your CEO for any photos, nor have I ever set foot in a marriage bureau for a license. Where did this document come from?"

Lucy adjusted her glasses and replied, "I collected your information last time precisely for this purpose. Some tasks don't require the CEO's personal attention."

"Ah... I see. I guess I was making a mountain out of a molehill," Regina conceded.

With a curt nod, Lucy said, "If you don’t require anything else, I'll be on my way. There's a pile of work waiting for me back at the office."

Regina nodded promptly, "Of course, Lucy. Please go ahead."

Alone now, Regina carefully scrutinized the marriage certificate. She looked at the names of the two young people scribbled close together while her fingers were tracing the paper tenderly. Was this really their marriage certificate?

Their names were so close in the picture, yet why did she feel their hearts were miles apart?

Regina sighed once more.

All this time, she had been taking advantage of Nolan’s goodwill; she wanted to repay him but had no idea how.

She wasn't sure how much the Harris family would invest in the Tanner Group after the marriage.

She wanted to have a heart-to-heart with Nolan about all this, to treat it as a loan of sorts.

Once she was back in good health and returned to work, she was determined to earn her own way, repaying the Harris family every penny.

But how could she talk to Nolan about these things when she had to weigh every word she said in his presence? What right did she have to bring up such matters?
