Chapter 2720


    Regina, clutching her recorder and scribbled notes, marched back to the office only to be summoned


    by the boss the moment she stepped through the door.


    “I hear you’ve been at it again with the veterans in the office.” The boss didn’t even look up from his


    paperwork as he spoke.


    Regina, baffled, retorted, “What do you mean ‘at it again’? They’re the ones who’ve been on my case,


    okay? You handed me this mission impossible, and I nailed the interview. Isn’t that impressive? Just


    because I’m the rookie, I don’t even get a pat on the back, but instead, I have to put up with their


    sarcasm?”


    “Look at you, firing off ten words for every one say! I’m not saying you should roll over and take it, but


    those folks are your seniors. You could show a little respect. Ever heard of ying nice? Instead, you


    have to kick off a storm right in the middle of the office, and theye running to me withints,


    even recording the way you mocked them. How am I supposed to deal with that?”


    Regina couldn’t help butugh at the antics of her slick male colleagues.


    Yeah, those reporters sure love their recorders, always ready to capture the moment. Too bad Regina


    hadn’t caught their snidements in her recorder.


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    “So how do you want to resolve this? You expect me to apologize to them?”


    “Is that any way to talk to me? If you hadn’t let your temper get the better of you, I woul be in this bind.”


    Regina snorted in disdain and crossed her arms. “Oh, so I’m the one making things. difficult for you,


    huh? You turn a blind eye to those seniors bullying the newbie, but the second they record me standing


    up for myself, you jump in. Boss, you’re a real disappointment.”


    Regina had thought this boss, who had helped her before, would have her back through. thick and thin.


    Turns out he was just a pushover.


    Her words seemed to hit a nerve.


    “Enough. Drop the interview; let them handle the follow-up.”


    “Why the hell should I? I disagree! I’m the one whonded that interview. How many times. did you


    guys reach out to Dahlia with no reply? Why should I hand over my work after I’ve done all the


    legwork? That’s not how it works!”


    “Hmph, it doesn’t matter if you agree or not. I’m the one who assigns the tasks. I’ve already given you a


    big enough break by entrusting you with such an important assignment. You’ve got other fish to fry.


    Now, get out. There’s a meetingter, and don’t forget to send the materials to your colleagues in


    advance.”


    Regina stood rooted to the spot until the boss looked up with a nce that clearly said, “Why are you


    still here?” Only then did she exhale sharply. “Just don’t regret this, boss.”


    “What do I have to regret?”


    As Regina exited, her silhouette was as defiant as ever. She was Regina Tanner, after all, and nothing


    could force her to bow.


    Stepping out, she made a beeline for the desk of the male colleague who had provoked her earlier,


    mming the stack of notes she had gathered onto his desk with a thud.


    “You’re quite the sly fox, aren’t you? All those years in journalism sure taught you some tricks.


    Recording a spat with a coworker, are you that scared I’ll outshine you? But don’t worry, consider this


    interview a gift from me. Just don’t expect me to y nice in the future. Good luck!”
