Chapter 764
Back at the office, Nyla was getting ready for her lunch break when she received a call from Caroline.
“Hey, Nyla, try to schedule your experiment reports during work hours from now on, “Caroline requested.
Nyla was taken aback. “Why? Isn’t everyone busy with experiments during work?”
“Mr. Sumner said he’ll be present for future progress reports, so we need to arrange them during office hours,” Caroline explained.
Nyla finally understood. Damon must have requested this for her sake. However, changing the reporting time just for her might delay everyone else’s experiments.
With that thought, she replied, “I’ll talk to Mr. Sumner about it and see if we can adjust the schedule.‘
“Don’t push yourself too hard. After everything that happened with Mr. Sumner, didn’t you say you didn’t want too much contact with him?” Caroline asked.
Caroline had previously objected when Edgar suggested assigning the experiment project to Nyla. But since she had her own unfinished project, she ultimately had to
let it go.
After hesitating for a moment, Nyla decided to share her situation with Damon with Caroline.
“You can’t be serious! Didn’t you say you weren’t interested in him anymore?” Caroline’s voice was filled with disbelief.
“I thought I didn’t have feelings for him, but since coming to Saintornia, he’s helped me a lot. He even risked his life to save me, so I think it’s worth giving each other a chance,” Nyla said.
Her heart wasn’t made of stone. It was impossible to remain indifferent to all Damon had done for her.
After a moment of silence, Caroline slowly replied, “Just follow your heart. After all, it’s your life. He’s also Buddy’s biological father, so if you two can be together, that’s great.
Nyla put away her phone after the call and headed straight to the top floor to find Damon.

Upon seeing her, Damon raised an eyebrow. “Weren’t you supposed to have lunch with Valarie? You have time to come see me P
As Nyla entered his office, she pretended to sniff the air. “Do you smell something funny in here?”
“What kind of smell?” Damon asked.
“Jealousy. Some people get jealous over even a lunch with a woman. You’d think that’s impossible!” Nyla teased.
Damon didn’t get mad. Instead, he stood up and walked toward her.
Nyla’s smile faded into caution. “What do you want?”
“What do you think?” Damon asked.
His voice carried a dangerous undertone, making Nyla uneasy. She turned to leave his office, but just as she reached the door, he wrapped his arms around her from behind.
“Nyla, you came to find me, which means you have something to discuss. Are you really just going to leave like this?” Damon’s voice was low and enticing, a whisper in her ear.
“Let go of me first,” Nyla asked.
“No. You left me to eat alone at lunch today, so you should compensate me, countered.
Alarm bells rang in Nyla’s mind. “But you’ve also left me alone for business meetings a few times. I didn’t see you compensating me then!”
Damon
“Well, I’ll compensate you now,” Damon answered, his voice playful as if he’d been waiting for her to say that.
“No, thanks, I–Mmph!” Before Nyla could finish, Damon kissed her.
The office was soon filled with heated sounds.
When Damon finally released her, Nyla clung to his suit jacket, her legs weak and barely able to support her.
