Back at the office, Nyla was getting ready for her lunch break when she received a call from Caroline.

“Hey, Nyla, try to schedule your experiment reports during work hours from now on, “Caroline requested.

Nyla was taken aback. “Why? Isn’t everyone busy with experiments during work?”

“Mr. Sumner said he’ll be present for future progress reports, so we need to arrange them during office hours,” Caroline explained.

Nyla finally understood. Damon must have requested this for her sake. However, changing the reporting time just for her might delay everyone else’s experiments.

With that thought, she replied, “I’ll talk to Mr. Sumner about it and see if we can adjust the schedule.‘

“Don’t push yourself too hard. After everything that happened with Mr. Sumner, didn’t you say you didn’t want too much contact with him?” Caroline asked.

Caroline had previously objected when Edgar suggested assigning the experiment project to Nyla. But since she had her own unfinished project, she ultimately had to

let it go.

After hesitating for a moment, Nyla decided to share her situation with Damon with Caroline.

“You can’t be serious! Didn’t you say you weren’t interested in him anymore?” Caroline’s voice was filled with disbelief.

“I thought I didn’t have feelings for him, but since coming to Saintornia, he’s helped me a lot. He even risked his life to save me, so I think it’s worth giving each other a chance,” Nyla said.

Her heart wasn’t made of stone. It was impossible to remain indifferent to all Damon had done for her.

After a moment of silence, Caroline slowly replied, “Just follow your heart. After all, it’s your life. He’s also Buddy’s biological father, so if you two can be together, that’s great.

Nyla put away her phone after the call and headed straight to the top floor to replace Damon.

Upon seeing her, Damon raised an eyebrow. “Weren’t you supposed to have lunch with Valarie? You have time to come see me P

As Nyla entered his office, she pretended to sniff the air. “Do you smell something funny in here?”

“What kind of smell?” Damon asked.

“Jealousy. Some people get jealous over even a lunch with a woman. You’d think that’s impossible!” Nyla teased.

Damon didn’t get mad. Instead, he stood up and walked toward her.

Nyla’s smile faded into caution. “What do you want?”

“What do you think?” Damon asked.

His voice carried a dangerous undertone, making Nyla uneasy. She turned to leave his office, but just as she reached the door, he wrapped his arms around her from behind.

“Nyla, you came to replace me, which means you have something to discuss. Are you really just going to leave like this?” Damon’s voice was low and enticing, a whisper in her ear.

“Let go of me first,” Nyla asked.

“No. You left me to eat alone at lunch today, so you should compensate me, countered.

Alarm bells rang in Nyla’s mind. “But you’ve also left me alone for business meetings a few times. I didn’t see you compensating me then!”

Damon

“Well, I’ll compensate you now,” Damon answered, his voice playful as if he’d been waiting for her to say that.

“No, thanks, I–Mmph!” Before Nyla could finish, Damon kissed her.

The office was soon filled with heated sounds.

When Damon finally released her, Nyla clung to his suit jacket, her legs weak and barely able to support her.

“Damon, if you do this again, I won’t come to see you anymore,” she threatened without heat.

“Are you sure?” Damon asked.

Before she could answer, he added, “If you don’t come to replace me, I’ll just go down to your office and kiss you there.”

“You’re shameless!” Nyla cried.

Damon smirked, not bothering to argue. Instead, he picked her up and sat down on the sofa.

“Let me go! What if someone walks in?” Nyla protested.

“No one’s coming in,” Damon replied confidently.

But no sooner had he spoken than the office door swung open.

Spencer stepped in, announcing, “Mr. Sumner, here’s the financial report from last quarter-”

He froze at the sight of Nyla sitting on Damon’s lap, her face buried in his chest, while Damon looked at him calmly.

Spencer shivered, quickly raising the documents to cover his face.

“I didn’t see anything! You two carry on!” he exclaimed, retreating and closing the door behind him.

As the door clicked shut, Nyla finally lifted her head from Damon’s embrace, her cheeks flushed.

She glared at him. “I told you someone would walk in! How am I supposed to face Spencer now? If this gets out, will I even have a job at Prospectus Technology anymore?”

Damon held her waist, his hand tracing her curves. “Don’t worry. Spencer knows about us, and he’s tight–lipped. He won’t say a word.”

When his hand drifted higher, Nyla swatted it away, hissing, “Don’t touch me!”

Seeing her fierce expression, clearly upset, Damon grinned. “Today was my fault. I promise I’ll lock the door next time. How about that?”

Nyla sighed in exasperation. She pushed him away and hopped off his lap.

Damon didn’t stop her. He knew that if he really upset her, he’d be spending time making it up to her later.

Once Nyla had straightened her disheveled hair and clothes, she sat across from Damon. “Caroline just called to say you’ll be attending the upcoming experiment

progress reports?”

“Yeah,” Damon confirmed.

“We’ve always scheduled those around 8:00 p.m. because we’re busy with experiments during the day. If you changed it just for me, there’s really no need,” Nyla reasoned.

Damon frowned, then explained, “Partly, yes, it’s for you, but mainly, I often have evening engagements. That’s why I wanted them during office hours.”

Hearing this, Nyla finally sighed in relief and nodded. “Alright, I understand.”

“Did you come to see me just for that?” Damon asked.

“Yeah, and we only have 40 minutes until work starts again. I still want to take a nap, so I’ll head back now,” Nyla excused herself.

Damon had a few documents to handle, so he let her go. “Alright, message me after work.”

“Okay,” Nyla replied.

As she left his office, she bumped into Spencer. Embarrassed, she quickly looked away and hurried past him.

Spencer entered Damon’s office, holding out the financial report. “Mr. Sumner, here’s the financial report.”

Damon took the report, glanced at him, and was about to speak when his phone suddenly rang.

Upon seeing Charlotte’s name on the screen, his expression changed.
