Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 850

A hand picked up the file and handed it to Valarie as its owner apologized, "Sorry, I didn't mean to bump into you."

Hearing the voice, Valarie snapped her head up in shock.

It was Tom! Wasn't he abroad?!

"What are you doing here?!" she demanded.

Her eyes betrayed her disbelief—there was no joy in them.

Tom felt a pang in his heart, suppressing his disappointment.

"I came to discuss business with Mr. Weir," he replied.

Valarie's expression remained cold as she took the document from him, walking past him into the office without a second glance.

As the door closed behind her, Tom felt a wave of sorrow. He had been too confident, believing that Valarie would never leave him. Now, he realized how foolish he had been.

Inside the office, Valarie tossed the file onto Jonathan's desk and snapped, "Dad, why are you suddenly collaborating with Tom?"

After the way Valarie and Tom had ended things, the Weirs and Genges hadn't worked together for years.

Jonathan picked up the file, his face calm. "He came to give me money. Why not take it?"

Valarie was speechless.

"Alright, I don't need anything else here. You can head back now," Jonathan dismissed her.

Remembering she was supposed to have lunch with Brandon, Valarie hesitated but ultimately turned to leave.

It wasn't until the office door closed behind her that Jonathan breathed a sigh of relief. If Valarie had caused a scene, he wouldn't have known how to handle it.

As soon as Valarie stepped out of the office, she spotted Tom standing not far away.
