Finally, Damon shifted his icy gaze from Nyla and turned to Gabriel. “Let’s go.”

Gabriel nodded and led Damon toward the office, leaving Spencer behind.

Once the two men had entered, Spencer turned to Nyla. “Ms. Jayston, don’t take Mr. Sumner’s words to heart. He actually-”

Before he could finish, Nyla interrupted, “Mr. Hogg, I won’t take it to heart. I’m just working at Prospectus Technology, not one of its employees. Besides, aside from any mistakes in my work, Mr. Sumner has no right to dictate how I should act.”

Spencer was at a loss for words and could only sigh in response.

A few minutes later, Gabriel and Damon emerged from the office.

Nyla ignored them completely and walked straight to her own office.

Damon’s expression darkened, but he remained silent.

After Damon left, Gabriel returned to Nyla’s desk. “Nyla, I’d like to talk to you.”

Without looking up, Nyla replied, “If it’s about what just happened, there’s no need to discuss it. I don’t think I did anything wrong.”

Nearby, Melody couldn’t help but eavesdrop, her curiosity piqued. Her instincts told her the conversation was related to Damon.

Gabriel smiled with a hint of helplessness. “You’re still as stubborn as ever. I’m not trying to lecture you. I just wanted to say that you don’t have to be so strong all the time. I can protect you.”

Nyla found his words a bit strange but couldn’t quite pinpoint why. She frowned and looked up at him. “No need. I can handle things on my own without troubling others.”

Gabriel’s hands clenched involuntarily as he smiled. “I’m not just anyone. I’m your brother.”

“Even so, I don’t need it. I’m going to take a nap now, so you should rest too,” Nyla said.

Cape To

Without waiting for Gabriel’s reaction, she pulled out a pillow and lay down

Gabriel stood by her desk for a few seconds before turning and heading back to his desk

The entire afternoon passed with Gabriel unable to find an opportunity to talk to Nyla, so he eventually gave up.

As work was ending. Nyla received a text from Damon.

Damon: Come to my office. I have something to discuss with you. It’s work- related

After reading it, Nyla responded with a cold, indifferent message and left the office

Damon had been waiting for her reply.

When his phone buzzed within a minute, he quickly checked it, and his expression darkened immediately

Nyla: [Mr. Sumner, it’s after working hours. If it’s work–related, please contact me during office hours tomorrow]

Spencer walked in with documents and couldn’t help shuddering when he saw Damon’s grim face

Since the breakup. Damon’s mood had been as unpredictable as the weather in

Saintornia

“Mr. Sumner, these are the documents that need your signature today.” Spencer said.

Seeing Damon’s silence, Spencer carefully placed the documents on the desk

and turned to leave

A moment later, Damon’s cold voice came from behind. “Important documents should be sent to my villa. Leave the rest until tomorrow.”

Spencer hadn’t even turned around before Damon stormed out of the office, leaving him to guess that Damon was heading straight to find Nyla.

While driving swiftly to the hotel where Nyla was staying, Damon called her.

After several rings, the call was answered, and Nyla’s voice came through, cold and distant. “Mr. Sumner, it’s after working hours.”
