Chapter 385
Nyla wasnât ready to forgive Damon, Could he really force her to fall in love with him again?
Damon opened the car door and said calmly, âGet in the car.â
After having the driver take Rebecca home, Damon returned to his office to continue working. Work was the only thing that temporarily distracted him from thoughts of Nyla.
Today, however, for some reason, he couldnât concentrate on the documents in his hands. Frustrated, he tossed the files onto his desk, grabbed his car keys, and left the office.
Once Melody and Gabriel had finished ordering at the restaurant, she looked up at him across the table and commented, âGabriel, Iâve never been to such a highâend restaurant before. The food here is so expensive.â
Gabriel smiled, his voice gentle. âThen you should get used to it.â
He was already handsome, but with his bright smile under the lights, he looked almost glowingâso goodâlooking that it was hard to look
away,
Melodyâs face flushed instantly, and she quickly looked away.
âWâWhy should I get used to it? My salaryâ¦â she stuttered.
âBecause I might take you out to eat here often in the future,â Gabriel replied.
Melodyâs heart began to race uncontrollably. She turned back to Gabriel, summoning her courage, and asked, âGabriel⦠you were
1/3
allwayâs so distant before. Why are you suddenly so er dead
âSurely you can figure that out for yourself, Gabriel countered.
Melody lowered her gaze, remaining silent. Although she liked Gabriel, she wasnât infatuated to the point of losing her reason. There had to be a reason behind his sudden change in attitude.
âGabriel, is there something you need my help with?â she asked.
Gebrielâs smile deepened slightly, and he nodded. âActually, there is something Iâd like to ask of youâ
âItâs about Nyle, right?â Melody asked, pressing further.
âYeah, Gabriel answered straightforwardly.
A flicker of disappointment crossed Melodyâs face. Although she knew Gabriel and Nyla were siblings, they werenât biologically related, She had always felt that Gabrielâs concern for Nyla was a bit GLOSSENG
âI might not be able to help with Nyla. She refused to go to that auction, no matter what I said,â Melody explained.
Gabrielâs expression grew serious.
After a moment, he said, âIâd like you to keep an eye on her and look out for her. Sheâs had a falling out with her family recently and doesnât have many friends. Youâre one of her closest female friends.â
Melody nodded, âDonât worry, I will.
âBy the way, you and she are always busy with experiments and barely have any free time. Are you all very busy?â Gabriel asked.
âYeah, weâre racing to meet deadlines,â Melody replied.
Chapar SAS
âIf you need any help, feel free to let me know. Iâm not that busy at the moment,â Gabriel offered.
Melody hesitated momentarily and asked slowly, âGabriel, I notice that Nylaâs attitude toward you seems quite cold. Why are you still so concerned about her?â
âBecause sheâs my sister. What kind of brother would hold a grudge against his sister?â Gabriel answered matterâofâfactly.
Seeing his sincere expression, Melody finally relaxed. âAlright. Iâll try to persuade Nyla to reconcile with you as soon as possible.â
âThank you in advance,â Gabriel said, then asked her for some details about their experiments.
Melody, without suspicion, answered all his questions.
By the end of the meal, Gabriel had learned quite a bit about their experiments.
After dropping Melody off at home, his smile gradually faded, turning cold.
