“Yeah, it’s a security guard from your apartment complex. But I think there’s more to it,” Damon replied.
A security guard?
Nyla frowned, trying to recall any interactions, but she couldn’t remember ever talking to the security guards at her complex. Besides, a guard wouldn’t say things like “Welcome back” to her.
Noticing her frown, Damon said calmly, “Don’t worry about it. I’ll handle it. For now, I’ll have the driver take Buddy to and from school, and you can commute with me. That way, I can ensure your safety.”
Thinking about the messages from last night, Nyla felt that chill creep up her spine again. She nodded. ” Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
After finishing breakfast, the driver took them to the office. On the way, Damon asked if they needed to keep their relationship a secret.
Nyla thought for a moment and replied, “No need. It’s not something we can hide for long anyway, so let’s just go with the flow.”
A spark lit up in Damon’s eyes as he answered, “Alright.”
When the car stopped in the basement, they both got out. It was close to work hours, and they encountered several employees of Prospectus Technology along the way.
Seeing Nyla and Damon arrive together, everyone couldn’t help but stare, though no one dared to speak. They all kept their heads down, pretending they hadn’t seen anything.
If Damon hadn’t ordered employees not to discuss his and Nyla’s relationship, the company would have been buzzing with gossip by now.
An eerie silence filled the elevator lobby, despite there being over 20 people present. No one said a word.
Damon glanced at Nyla and, seeing her calm expression, felt slightly relieved.
“Come to my office at noon. We’ll have lunch together,” he said.
Nyla looked a bit surprised. She wanted to decline, but after thinking it over, she nodded. “Okay, but I’m not sure when my experiment will end, so I might be a little late.”
“It’s fine. I have an important meeting today too. I’ll wait for you,” Damon replied.
The elevator arrived soon after.
When Damon and Nyla stepped inside, they noticed that no one else joined them.

employees. That’s why no one said a word while we were waiting for the elevator, and no one wanted to ride with us.”
