Nyla frowned and looked at Clark with displeasure. âWho I ate with is none of your business, is it?â
A dark gleam passed through Clarkâs eyes as he lowered his voice. âNyla, Iâm not trying to monitor you. I just want to be part of your life.â
âAre you really trying to be part of my life, or are you feeling guilty about taking Jordyn to that dinner today?â
Clark widened his eyes, his heart sinking. Nyla had seen them.
âToday was about meeting a client. She handled this client before she left the company, so she knows the situation better. Thatâs why I brought her along. I didnât tell you because I didnât want you to misunderstand.â
Nyla smiled. âDo I really need to misunderstand your relationship with her?â
âNyla, I can assure you that thereâs nothing between us now. The only person I love is you.â
Nyla wanted to ask him why Jordyn had to dress so seductively and hold his arm like a date since it was just a business meeting. Anyone who saw them would think Jordyn was Clarkâs girlfriend, not his secretary.
Despite that, she didnât ask. It no longer mattered
âClark, one lie often requires many more to cover it up.
âNyla, you donât believe me?â
Clark stared at Nyla intently, his gaze filled with hurt and sadness.
Nyla found it laughable. She wanted to believe him, but shouldnât he give her a reason to?
âI had a long day at work. I donât want to talk about this. Please leave.â
Upon seeing Nylaâs cold expression, Clarkâs hands clenched at his sides. His initial guilt and unease slowly turned into frustration. He had humbled himself, yet she still treated him with disdain. He could have chosen someone better but married her anyway. Her constant lack of understanding was wearing him down,
Sometimes, being with her was less comfortable than being with Jordyn. At least Jordyn wouldnât give him a hard time.
With that, he said nothing more. When Nyla walked past him without a word, he didnât stop her or try to -explain further.
At home, Nyla grabbed some clothes and headed for the shower. When she came out, she saw that she had over ten missed calls from Valarie. Since Valarie had called her so many times in such a short period, it must be urgent.
She quickly called back, and Valarie picked up after just two rings. âNyla, check the Internet! Youâre trending!
Nyla was surprised. She went online and saw that she was the top trending topic.

[Park Pharmaceuticalsâ Employee Forces Colleagueâs Father To Kneel]
After clicking on the trending post, she saw a video of Mabelâs father kneeling before her. The camera angle was perfect, capturing Kennethâs helpless expression.
Meanwhile, the comments were filled with insults directed at her.
[How can someone be so disgusting? I heard her colleagueâs father is just an honest farm worker, and she made him kneel! Bullying the honest folks!]
[This woman is too much. Park Pharmaceuticals should consider firing her!]
[I hope one day her parents have to kneel to someone too. Maybe then sheâll understand how it feels.]
As Nyla read the hateful comments, her eyes turned cold.
After not hearing Nyla speak for a while, Valarie anxiously asked, âNyla, whatâs going on?
Valarie had known Nyla for years and knew she wasnât the type to make someone kneel in public. There had to be a misunderstanding, but she couldnât defend Nyla online without knowing the full story
