Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 914

The call ended with the sound of a dial tone.

Tom slammed his phone onto the floor with a scowl. The screen shattered instantly, reflecting his grim expression.

…

Sullivan, unable to reach Rebecca, began to feel a growing sense of anxiety.

What if Rebecca had taken the money and then gone back on her word, sending those incriminating documents to Damon?

Upon thinking of her past behavior, Sullivan's anxiety deepened, but he had no idea where she was. All he could do was wait for her to contact him.

"Sullivan. Sullivan? What's wrong with you?" Demi asked.

Sullivan snapped out of his thoughts and looked over at Demi, forcing a smile. "What's going on?"

Demi handed him a file and reported, "There's an issue with this data. We need to verify it with Nyla. If these numbers are wrong, the experiment will need to be redone."

Sullivan glanced at the file and took it from her. "Got it. I'll go to her. You take care of the other tasks."

Actually, Demi had planned to ask Nyla herself, but she was surprised that Sullivan had taken the initiative. She assumed he probably wanted to see Ruby.

Her gaze dropped, and a mix of emotions swirled inside her. She didn't feel inferior to Ruby in any way, so why did Sullivan seem to like her?

"Alright, Sullivan. Please hurry. These data are urgently needed," Demi reminded him.

Sullivan nodded. "I'm on it."

With that, he left the office with the file.

Ruby pursed her lips, instinctively avoiding his gaze as she replied, "I might have to work late tonight."

"It's fine. No matter how late it gets, I'll wait. I'll send you the restaurant details, and you can come after you finish work," Sullivan said.

Before Ruby could refuse, he turned and left quickly.

Watching his retreating figure, she felt a pang of helplessness. She felt she had made herself clear, yet he still insisted on pursuing her.

To her, if someone truly cared for another person, they wouldn't do things that made the other person uncomfortable.

Sullivan's behavior was too domineering.

Instead of feeling any affection from him, she sensed that he simply wanted to prove his own charm—or perhaps he had some other unknown motive.
