Noticing Spencer's silence, Damon frowned. "Is there something else?"

After a moment of hesitation, Spencer spoke up. "Mr. Sumner, I think you should reconsider. The rumors circulating in the company are just hearsay. You could issue a statement prohibiting discussions about your personal life, but there's no need to clarify your relationship with Ms. Austen."

If all the employees learned that Nyla had dumped Damon, it might cause an even bigger stir.

Damon was silent for a few seconds before replying in a deep voice, "Fine, we'll handle it your way."

Soon after, the CEO's office issued a statement banning employees from discussing Damon's personal life. Anyone caught doing so would be terminated. Nyla and Melody were busy with experiments all morning and didn't check their phones until lunchtime. It was then that Gabriel informed them of the situation

As Gabriel spoke, he kept a close eye on Nyla. When he saw that Nyla's expression remained calm and indifferent, he looked away, trying to appear casual. Melody was fuming "I really misjudged Mr. Sumner. I thought he was

someone reliable, but now it seems he's not. He must be getting back together with his ex. Otherwise, he wouldn't have issued a ban on discussing it instead of denying the rumors? Even Melody felt that Damon's statement was meant to protect Rebecca, let alone Nyla herself. She looked down at the documents on her desk, a hint of self-mockery in her eyes. At least she hadn't deluded herself into thinking Damon would choose her Otherwise, she'd really be a joke now

about this anymore."

Under Gabriel's gentle gaze, Melody's face flushed red. She quickly averted her eyes and stammered, "O-Okay..."

As the office fell silent, Nyla felt an unspoken tension. She took a deep breath and decided to step into the hallway for some fresh air.

As soon as she stepped out of the office, Gabriel followed her.

"Nyla, are you still having a hard time letting go?" Gabriel asked, standing beside her with concern in his eyes.

Nyla pursed her lips and shook her head, "No, it's just a bit stuffy in the office."

"Even if you're still struggling, that's alright. Feelings aren't something you can control. It takes time to over them," Gabriel said soothingly.

Nyla looked at Gabriel in surprise. "You weren't always the comforting type before."

She felt he had changed significantly since returning from abroad. The once sharp and distant young man had become much gentler and more approachable.

"People change. After not seeing each other for so many years, we might need to get to know each other again," Gabriel suggested.

Seeing his sincere expression, Nyla couldn't help but chuckle. She was about to reply when a cold voice interrupted from nearby, "I didn't hire you for idle chit-chat. Have you finished your work?"

Both of them turned to see Damon and Spencer standing a short distance away, their presence unexpected.

Damon's cold gaze lingered on them, his brow furrowed. A heavy, oppressive aura surrounded him.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Spencer, standing behind Damon, couldn't help but remind him, "Mr. Sumner, it's lunchtime..."

Damon's expression darkened, his voice growing even colder. "Do I need you

to remind me?"

Spencer fell silent, regretting his words.
