It's almost laughable, really. They all despised the unfairness of it all, and as journalists, it was their mission to
shine a light on the darkness, but when it cto their own backyard, they had no choice but to bow to reality.
Not Regina, though. She called out the office's slick veteran right there in the middle of the bullpen. Watching
him puff up with indignation, yet utterly unable to formulate a
comeback, was a vicarious thrill for everyone.

After all, Regina was only spitting straight facts. If he was as talented as he claimed, why didn’t he go out and
score his own interviews?
The guy was so full of himself, yet not a single source actually liked talking to him.
“You just wait and see,” he sputtered, his face flushed with anger.

Regina crossed her arms and dropped her bag onto a chair with a thud. “Oh, are you threateningnow? Let
pilfering my interview notes? For someone who's been in the gas long as you have, you sure don’t play by
the rules. Leaning on your old age to get ahead? That's just sad and eye-opening.”
“Who are you calling old?” he snapped. “You've got a lot of nerve for a newbie, not giving a shred of respect to
your seniors.”
Regina glanced nonchalantly at her watch. “Anything else you want to get off your chest? If not, I've got a story
to chase. Unlike speople who just sit around the office waiting for scoops to fall into their lap, | don’t make a
living stealing other people’s hard work.”
“You're slandering me! Be careful, or I'll take this to the boss,” he threatened, though everyone knew he had
snatched others’ stories before, especially from rookies. But no one would dare to bring that up openly.
Regina, however, seemed to have no sense of this unspoken rule. She raised her voice enough that it seemed
like she wanted the whole building to hear.
“A grown man tattling? That's just embarrassing.”

She wasn't the only reporter with that idea; several others had settled in for what looked to be a long haul. After
all, they were on the turf of the Harris Group, backed by none other than Nolan. And anything connected to
Nolan had the potential for a big scoop.
Whoever managed to get the story on the homeless man would secure a hot topic for the paper for months. It
was just a matter of who had the most resolve.
Nolan, at that moment, was blissfully unaware of the pack of journalists eyeing the land he intended to develop.
Diving into real estate was another bold move since he established his company, and not all shareholders were
on board. Sthought Nolan was too young and rash, with appetites too large for his capabilities.
The real estate business wasn’t booming like before, yet he'd boldly snatched up this plot of land, ambitious to
create a brand new business hub, seemingly oblivious to his own
limits.
