Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1206

The call connected almost instantly, and Damon's face appeared on the screen.

Seeing Nyla, he smiled. "Nyla."

She immediately noticed he was at his office and frowned. "Isn't it the middle of the night in Saintornia? Why are you still at work?"

Damon pressed his lips together. "Something came up at the company. I promise I'll go home early tomorrow night."

Nyla's expression turned skeptical. "I don't believe you. I'm going to ask Lydia later if you've been eating properly."

"Nyla, I swear it's just a last-minute situation tonight. From tomorrow onward, I'll eat well and leave work on time. Okay?" His coaxing tone came through the phone, almost as if he were right beside her.

Despite that, they both knew they were separated by an entire ocean, with a time difference of over ten hours.

And... Damon was working so hard just so he could come to Nyla sooner.

Lowering her gaze, Nyla blinked away the slight sting in her eyes. "Damon, I'm not mad at you. I just… hate seeing you push yourself so hard."

"I know. That's why I'll listen to you and take care of myself. If you don't believe me, you can check with Lydia anytime. Deal?"

"Deal," Nyla replied.

"Good. Now, get some rest. We'll video chat again once you've had some sleep," Damon urged.

"Okay," she answered.

After ending the call, Damon turned to Spencer. "Tell the board members the meeting resumes in ten minutes."

"Understood, Mr. Sumner. But… the board members are already struggling to stay awake," Spencer reminded him.

The meeting had started in the evening and dragged on until nearly 4:00 a.m.—how could anyone endure that?

"I know," Damon replied.
