Chapter 715
+25 BONUS
Since Nyla planned to be serious about being with Oliver, she needed to genuinely try to see if she could accept him. If she truly couldn’t, it would be better to part ways sooner rather than later–for both their
sakes.
The next afternoon, Damon received a call from Lydia, “Mr. Sumner, Ms. Kinsey sent Buddy over today.”
Damon replied calmly, “Got it.”
There was a brief silence on the other–end before Lydia’s voice came through, tinged with helplessness.” Mr. Sumner, aren’t you going to ask what Ms. Kinsey has to do today?”
“What is it?” Damon asked.
“I heard from Buddy that she’s going to the movies with Mr. Raynor tonight, which is why she dropped Buddy off,” Lydia answered.
Damon narrowed his eyes and replied in a low voice, “Alright.”
After hanging up, he thought for a moment and called in Spencer.
“Look into where Nyla and Oliver are going to see a movie and buy a ticket for a seat behind them,” he instructed.
Spencer paused momentarily before replying, “Understood, Mr. Sumner. I’ll go right away.”
After work, Nyla and Oliver had dinner before heading to the cinema.
They were watching a romantic film that had been re–released, telling the story of two people who parted ways in their youth and reunited years later.
The story itself was quite simple, but the director’s cinematic touch made the visuals beautiful.
Before the film started, Oliver bought a bucket of popcorn.
They sat together, occasionally reaching into the bucket for popcorn. Without realizing it, their fingers brushed against each other.
At first, they flinched as if they’d been burned, quickly pulling away.
After a few times, Oliver boldly took Nyla’s hand.
