Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla)
Chapter 317

Chapter 317

Hearing the anxiety in Melody's voice, Nyla couldn't help but smile. "Don't worry. If he really dislikes someone, he won't even speak to them."

Melody said, "He's my first crush, so naturally, I'm a bit anxious. I hope I didn't disturb you."

"No, don't worry. I'll try to create opportunities for you two to be alone," Nyla reassured her.

Melody was deeply touched. "Oh, Nyla, you're the best!"

After exchanging a few more comforting words, Nyla ended the call. She set her phone down and reflected on how even someone as carefree as Melody could feel insecure about matters of the heart. Upon thinking about her own recent breakup with Damon, Nyla's expression grew somber. She took a deep breath, forced herself to move on, and prepared for bed.

The next morning, as Nyla walked into the office, she felt the eyes of her colleagues on her.

Once she reached her office, Melody hurried over, her tone filled with anger." Nyla, did you break up with Mr. Sumner because of his ex?"

Nyla was taken aback. "How do you know about this?"

"I knew it!" Melody exclaimed indignantly. "Last night, someone took photos of him helping his ex into a car. Now everyone in the office is saying he dumped you!" Nyla was silent for a moment before quietly uttering, "Oh."

"You're just going to accept this? Aren't you angry about what they're saying? It's so infuriating!" Melody complained.

Seeing Melody's upset expression, Nyla found it somewhat endearing. She couldn't help but pinch her cheek, smiling. "It's alright, don't get too worked up.

People will say what they want, and there's nothing we can do about it. Just ignore them."

"Don't you want to set the record straight?" Melody asked.

Nyla shook her head. "There's nothing to clarify. Whatever I say, they won't believe it and will only criticize me more. It's best to let it blow over." "Okay, I couldn't stay this calm. If I were you, I'd make a huge fuss," Melody

huffed.

Nyla laughed softly but chose not to comment further.

If the situation escalated, the only person who would end up embarrassed was her. People often only saw what they wanted to see, not the truth.

The atmosphere in the CEO's office

at Prospectus Technology was stifling as Damon learned that employees were gossiping about his breakup with Nyla, speculating it was because of Rebecca.

"These employees must have too much idle time!" Damon said, his voice icy.

Spencer, keeping his gaze lowered, replied cautiously, "Mr. Sumner, it's best to let this situation blow over. In a few days, people will stop talking about it." én.swnovels.net

"Make a statement. Announce that I am not getting back together with Rebecca and that Nyla ended the relationship, not the other way around. I want them to stop talking!" Damon ordered.

Spencer hesitated. "Mr. Sumner, if we issue a statement, it might just fuel more speculation."

"Let them speculate all they want. They'll only focus on how Nyla dumped me, not the other way around," Damon retorted.

He was adamant about not letting anyone speak ill of her.

Spencer couldn't help but think that if Damon cared this much, he should distance himself from Rebecca rather than appear in suggestive photographs,
