At that moment, Valarie felt as if she had fallen into an ice pit. But on reflection, there wasn’t much to be upset about. After all, she had gotten together with Zayn because of the Updike Group. Since her intentions hadn’t been pure, she had no right to expect genuine affection from him.
Nyla frowned and firmly placed the card in Valarie’s hand, saying, “Valarie, just take the money for now. If you really don’t need it later, you can return it to me.
“As for Zayn, I know you don’t have many options, so I won’t try to persuade you. Just make sure you’ve thought it through and won’t regret it.”
Tears welled up in Valarie’s eyes, and she stopped resisting. “Thank you, Nyla! No matter what happens with the Weir Group, I’ll pay you back!”
It was easy to celebrate someone’s wins, but helping them through hardship was different. Over this period, Valarie had learned who her true friends were and who kicked her when she was down.
“There’s no need to thank me. Don’t cry now, or your mascara will run, and you’ll look like a panda,” Nyla teased.
Valarie let out a small laugh through her tears and wiped the corners of her eyes, looking at Nyla with
gratitude.
After lunch, Valarie left, and Nyla returned to work.
The whole afternoon, Sullivan came by Nyla’s office three or four times, delivering files. Near the end of the workday, he came by again.
Nyla paused her work and looked up at him. “Sullivan, don’t you think you’ve been stopping by a bit too often today? Some of these files aren’t urgent. You could have grouped them and brought them tomorrow.

Sullivan smiled, unfazed. “I just didn’t want to delay your work. If you don’t want to see me, you could ask Ruby to pick them up instead.”
