    Chapter 2711


    By the time Reginay down on the bed, the chill of the room had given way to a gentle warmth. She whispered a pep talk into


    the darkness, “Keep it up, Regina. Tomorrow''s got a whole new set of hurdles waiting for you.”


    Come morning, Regina sprung out of bed as if the previous day’s trials had never happened. Resilience was her middle name;


    after all these years of grinding, a tough skin had formed. Not having to face those naysayers day in and day out was a small


    victory in itself.


    But the reprieve was short-lived. As she walked into the newsroom, her smug colleagues were quick to chip away at her good


    spirits.


    “Look who’s early, our very own princess Regina,” sneered one, his voice dripping with sarcasm. “What''s the use of arriving at


    the crack of dawn when you can’t even nab an interviewee?”


    “You''re missing the point,” chided the other, smirking. “It’s about showing up, making an impression. How else would she justify


    her stay here if not for her noble lineage?”


    Their sharedughter was like nails on a chalkboard.

    have trouble locking down Dahlia, but some are so busy worrying about me, they’ve yet to pen their own stories. | really should

    unmatched,” she thought to herself. Yet, herst name seemed to overshadow her talents. But she was steadfast in her belief


    that her strengths would one day shine through, undeniable to all.


    “Are you bad-mouthing me?” snapped one of them, his pride pricked.


    Regina widened her eyes in feigned innocence and spun around, “I’m talking to whoever chimed in. You don’t think I’m talking


    about you, do you? Oh, but surely you haven''t stooped to giarizing others’ work, have you? That’s not something a seasoned


    journalist would do, right?”


    “Hmph, I’ve cleared my name already. Believe what you will!” he retorted, flustered and at a loss for aeback.
