Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1071

"I know," Damon replied.

Looking at his expressionless face, Lydia hesitated for a moment before cautiously asking, "Mr. Sumner, what's your plan from here?"

"I'm not sure yet. For now, I'll handle the company's remaining affairs," Damon answered.

Filing for bankruptcy didn't mean everything was finished. There was still a mountain of follow-up work to manage.

Now that he had accepted Prospectus Technology's bankruptcy, his immediate priorities were tying up loose ends and suing Nyce Tech for stealing the company's core data.

Lydia finally breathed a sigh of relief upon noticing that, despite his exhaustion, Damon didn't look utterly defeated. As long as he hadn't lost hope, that was what mattered.

What she feared most was that Damon might crumble under the blow and let his thoughts spiral into something irreversible.

"Mr. Sumner, you didn't eat dinner last night. You must be hungry. Let me make you some breakfast. What would you like?" she asked.

Damon pondered before answering, "It's been a while since I've had your pancakes. I'd like those."

Lydia's face brightened. "Alright, I'll make them now."

She headed to the kitchen, her steps noticeably lighter.

Meanwhile, Damon grabbed a change of clothes and stepped into his bathroom to shower.

When he emerged, Lydia had just finished placing a steaming batch of fresh pancakes on the dining table.

"Mr. Sumner, the pancakes are ready. Would you like to eat now?" she asked.

"Yeah," Damon replied.

He sat at the table and had just taken a bite when Spencer arrived.

All night, Spencer had replayed scenarios in his head, wondering if there was anything he could have done to prevent Henry and Gabriel from conspiring against the company and driving it into ruin.

Yet regret couldn't change the outcome.

Damon met his gaze and nodded. "I suggest you start exploring other job opportunities. If you need recommendations, I'll do what I can, but I can't promise anything."

"Mr. Sumner, aren't you planning to make a comeback?" Spencer asked.

After a pause, Damon replied, "For now, my focus is on closing Prospectus Technology's affairs. I haven't thought about anything beyond that."

Spencer hesitated before saying, "I'm not planning on looking for another job for at least three months. If you do decide to start over, I'll be honored to remain as your assistant."

Damon blinked in surprise, clearly not expecting Spencer's offer.
