The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 2877

Regina emerged into the sunlight, her presence causing Dahlia to instinctively smooth out the wrinkles in her demeanor along with her skirt as if trying to brush away the dust of conflict.

"What am I doing here? Really, Regina, is it not blatantly obvious to you? Perhaps you'd rather reflect on your recent escapades?"

Regina's smile twitched; "Dahlia, aren't you sticking your nose a bit too far? Since when do I owe you a rundown of my comings and goings? We're hardly more than interviewer and interviewee."

"Look, we didn't have much to do with each other, true, but then you went and snatched my boyfriend like a slice of Thanksgiving pie! That makes it very much my business. How could you be so shameless? I was with him for years, and there was never another woman. Then you show up, and suddenly he's gone. You've got a heart of stone! Does your family know about this? Would your mother not turn in her grave with shame?"

Regina felt a flush creep up her neck even though she hadn't done what Dahlia accused her of, especially since her mother had passed away long ago. What was Dahlia implying?

If we weren't a thing, how come I was all over his office like icing on a cake? Ever seen anyone else waltz in there like they owned the place?
