Chasing the Unexpected

Chapter 285

Cindy was furious and raised her hand to slap Nyla. However, before her hand could make contact, Nyla had already grabbed her wrist.

“Let go!” Cindy shrieked.

Nyla smiled. “I suggest you adjust your attitude before asking for favors next time. Otherwise, you’ll just end up looking foolish.”

With that, she released Cindy’s wrist.

Still struggling, Cindy didn’t expect Nyla to suddenly let go. She lost her balance and fell awkwardly to the ground.

As the elevator doors opened, Nyla walked in without looking back.

Cindy tried to stop her, but the pain from her twisted ankle prevented her from getting up to chase after Nyla.

“Stop right there! You bitch! I won’t let this go!” Cindy screeched.

An icy glint crossed Nyla’s eyes.

Once the elevator doors closed and reached the first floor, she headed straight to the surveillance room. After copying the security footage of the argument with Cindy in front of the elevator, she left.

Nyla then went to the top floor to find Damon but was told he was currently in a meeting. She handed the medicine and

bandages to Spencer.

“Mr. Hogg, please help him change the bandages once he’s done with the meeting,” she requested.

Spencer took the items and hesitated before speaking. “Ms. Jayston, if you don’t have anything urgent, it would be best to avoid coming to the top floor to see Mr. Sumner. Many shareholders of Prospectus Technology are aware of what happened yesterday, and they’re quite upset about the unclear relationship between you and Mr. Sumner.”

If news of Damon being with his nephew’s ex–wife got out online, it could negatively impact Prospectus Technology’s reputation.

While shareholders might not care about Damon’s personal life, they would be the first to protest if his personal affairs started affecting their interests.

Seeing that Nyla didn’t respond, Spencer sighed and

continued. “Ms. Jayston, Mr. Sumner wouldn’t tell you this directly, but if you truly care about him, you wouldn’t want to put him in a difficult position.”

Nyla nodded. “I understand. I’ll try to avoid meeting him at the company.”

Spencer’s expression relaxed a bit due to her agreement. ” Thank you. Please don’t mention this to Mr. Sumner.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t. I know it’s almost work time, so I won’t keep you any longer,” Nyla said.

Back in her office, Nyla sat at her desk, staring blankly at her computer.

“Nyla, are you okay?” Melody asked.

Nyla turned her head and forced a smile. “It’s nothing. I didn’t sleep well last night. Let’s start working.”

“Oh, okay…” Melody replied, unsure of what else to say.

Just as they completed a stage of their experiment, Damon arrived with the medicine and bandages Nyla had given to Spencer. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Nyla asked him to wait in the office while she finished‘ recording the experiment data. She handed the completed data to Melody before leaving.

When Nyla walked into the office, she saw Damon sleeping in her chair. She tiptoed closer and noticed the dark circles under his eyes and the exhaustion etched on his face. It seemed he had been working all night.

She intended to let him rest a bit longer, but just as she turned. to leave, he wrapped his arms around her waist and rested his

chin on her shoulder.

“Why didn’t you wake me?” Damon asked.

Nyla gently pushed him away and looked down. “I saw your sleeping so deeply in my chair and figured you must be exhausted. I wanted you to get a few more minutes of rest.”
