Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1154

Lydia frowned. "Ms. Kinsey, you barely ate anything..."

Nyla shook her head. "I've had enough. I'm going upstairs to rest. Thank you."

"Alright. Let me know if you get hungry later," Lydia reminded her.

"I will," Nyla replied.

After Nyla left, Lydia sighed and glanced at the table, still laden with dishes.

It wasn't just Nyla who had been eating poorly lately. Worrying about Damon's company had taken a toll on Lydia's appetite, too.

Upstairs in the bedroom, Nyla sat at her vanity, staring at her phone. She hesitated to tell Valarie about her marriage to Damon.

After a moment, she finally called her.

"Nyla, what's up?" Valarie answered.

"Valarie, I have something to tell you. Prepare yourself," Nyla warned.

Valarie sounded alarmed. "What is it? Good news or bad news?"

"Good news, I guess," Nyla replied.

"Okay, spill. I'm ready," Valarie said.

"I got married to Damon," Nyla announced.

"What?!" Valarie's voice shot up an octave. "Say that again! Are you serious?"

Nyla replied, "Of course I am."

"Alright. Let's start the meeting anyway," Damon said, striding into the conference room, where a dozen shareholders sat with grim expressions.

The moment he entered, someone blurted out, "Mr. Sumner, you're finally here. Mr. Trull and Mr. Jemison are determined to sell their shares. We've tried everything to convince them otherwise..."

If word of this got out, the company's stock price—already struggling—would plummet even further.

Damon's expression was cold as he sat down.

Looking around the room, he began, "I've been briefed on the situation. Prospectus Technology is indeed facing a crisis. I understand that some of you feel uneasy and want to sell your shares to cut your losses.

"I know some of you have been with Prospectus Technology since its inception, helping the company grow to where it is today, and that's why you choose to stay.

"Others joined later and may not have the same attachment, so you want to cut your losses and leave before it's too late. Whatever your reasons, I understand.

"I'm not here to force anyone to stay, because I'm not sure if Prospectus Technology will survive this time either. But to those who choose to stay, I promise to do everything in my power to bring the company back on track," he declared.
