Chapter 151
Upon hearing Damonâs affirmative response, Erinâs face lit up, ready to continue mocking Nyla.
Melody suddenly interjected, âMs. Hulle, youâve got one thing wrong. Nyla is both beautiful and capable, which is not something people can simply envy.â
Erinâs expression froze, and her eyes betrayed a flicker of anger. She huffed. âI never said Ms. Nyla wasnât capableâjust that her looks give her many advantages.â
Tired of Erinâs thinly veiled sarcasm, Nyla decided to speak her mind.
She turned to Erin and said, âYou claim my looks give me benefits, but doesnât your family background provide you with plenty of advantages. too? Otherwise, you wouldnât be sitting here having lunch with Ms. Summer, would you?â
The world was never fair, and wanting everything was simply being. greedy.
Erin was rendered speechless, her face turning an ugly shade.
Nyla picked up her tray and stood up, announcing, âIâm done. Enjoy your meal.â
Melody quickly followed her. âNyla, Iâm sorry. I spoke too quickly earlier. If I hadnât agreed to let them sit with us, none of this would have happened.â
Nyla brushed it off, saying, âDonât worry about it.â
Erin was looking for provoke her. Even if they hadnât
any exCUSA â
agreed to let them sit, she would have stayed nearby and found another way to irritate Nyla.
Initially, Nyla thought Erin and Damon were a good match, but now she felt Erin was not worthy of him. However, Damon may eventually choose to marry Erin, so it was not her place to interfere.
After they left, Erin turned to Damon. âMr. Damon, does Ms. Nyla hold a grudge against me?â
She bit her lip, looking aggrieved.
Normally, any other man might have felt a surge of sympathy seeing. her like this. However, Damon remained expressionless as he asked, Didnât you provoke her first?â
Sensing Damonâs defense of Nyla, Erinâs anger flared, her voice growing colder. âI was just speaking the truth. Didnât you agree with me?â
She had expected that knowing Damon liked Nyla would make him treat her better, to keep her quiet. Instead, his attitude had worsened.
âI only agreed that personal capability is important. It seems you donât understand men,â Damon remarked.
Erinâs face paled. Was he implying that he preferred beautiful women and had no interest in her?
âMr. Damon, you should remember your and Nylaâs identities!â she snapped.
As soon as she spoke, the temperature seemed to drop several degrees. Damonâs gaze turned icy, cold enough to freeze.
âMs. Hulle, I suggest you think before you speak. Otherwise, the consequences will be more than you can bear,â he said, standing up and leaving.
Only after Damon left the cafeteria did Erin feel the suffocating
pressure lift, and she let out a breath she hadnât realized she was
holding.
However, she was far from giving up. After years of finally finding a man she liked, she wouldnât quit so easily.
Nyla and Damon were obstacles, but she still had a chance!
Recalling the angry look on Dylanâs face as he left, Erin smirked and formed a plan in her mind.
