Chapter 149

However, Damon had no intention of pursuing the matter, so as a mere secretary, Spencer had no place to comment.

Nyla glanced at the young woman standing next to Spencer. She had a baby face, shoulder–length hair, and eyes that smiled like crescent

moons, giving her a very cute appearance.

“Ms. Jayston, my name is Melody Sorley. I just graduated from university. It’s nice to meet you,” Melody introduced herself.

“Hello, I’m Nyla Jayston,” Nyla replied simply.

With many tasks in the lab, Nyla was indeed struggling to manage everything on her own. Having an assistant would be a significant help.

“Thank you, Mr. Hogg,” Nyla said gratefully.

Spencer’s expression remained cold. “No need to thank me. It’s my job. I’ll be going now. If you

Understanding that Spencer’s displeasure was related to Damon, Nyla chose not to get angry. She nodded and said, “Okay.”

After Spencer left, Melody turned to Nyla and asked, “Can I call your Nyla? ‘Ms. Jayston‘ feels too formal.”

Nyla smiled. “That’s fine. For today, just go through the literature. Your can start working in the lab in a couple of days.”

“Okay, thank you, Nyla,” Melody chirped.

Melody was lively and diligent, frequently coming to the lab to ask Nyla questions about the literature. Nyla patiently answered her, and by the end of the morning, the two had become muc closer.

Seeing her bright, eager eyes, Nyla couldn’t help but smile. “Yes. You’ll see for yourself soon.”

They chatted as they walked, quickly arriving at the cafeteria. After getting their food, they found a corner to sit down.

After taking a bite, Melody exclaimed, “This is so good! I’ve never had such delicious food in my life. Working at Prospectus Technology is such a blessing!”

Nyla smiled, about to respond, when a commotion at the entrance caught her attention. Looking up, she saw Damon and Erin walking side by side.

Erin was smiling, her eyes filled with curiosity as she occasionally turned to speak with Damon, who patiently answered her every question.

Nyla lowered her gaze, suddenly finding the food tasteless.

Melody, also watching them, lowered her voice and said, “Nyla, I heard before I even joined the company that Mr. Sumner is dating the heiress. of the Hulle family. I thought it was just a rumor, but it turns out to be true. They make a perfect match. It seems the Cinderella story only. happens in fairy tales.”

Nyla forced a smile. “Yes, you’re right.”

Noticing Nyla’s disinterest in gossip, Melody switched topics.

They were discussing what to have for dinner when a gentle voice suddenly echoed. “Ms. Nyla, what a coincidence to see you here again.”

Nyla turned her head to see Erin holding a plate of steak, standing a few steps away with a bright smile.

and targeted her at every turn. Thus, she kept her expression neutral. Hello, Ms. Hulle.”

“Do you mind if we sit next to you?” Erin asked.

Nyla frowned slightly, about to respond, when Melody quickly answered, “Not at all, not at all.”

Erin sat next to Nyla, while Damon took the seat next to Melody, diagonally across from Nyla. He didn’t even glance at her, his presence radiating an almost palpable coldness.
