Not long after Nyla entered the grocery store, she noticed someone following her closely. Turning around, she saw Clark standing not far away, his gaze intense and unreadable.
She didnât want to engage with him, so she quickly finished shopping, pald, and left the store.
Clark followed her the entire way but didnât make any overt moves, leaving her with no grounds to call the police.
Back at home, Nyla decided to stay indoors as much as possible and order groceries online for delivery instead. She felt uneasy about Clarkâs unpredictable behavior and didnât want to risk any potential
T confrontation.
Although she considered asking Damon for help, thinking he might drive Clark away, she didnât want to get further entangled with the Summers.
After staring at her phoneâs dial screen for a long moment, she eventually put the phone down.
Clark continued to linger around Nylaâs apartment building for over two weeks. His constant absence. from the company began to frustrate the shareholders, who questioned Michael.
âWhere has Mr. Sumner been? He hasnât been to the company in half a month. Does he plan to abandon his responsibilities?â
âIf heâs not interested in managing the company, we should replace him. The company can run just fine without him!â
âDid you all know? My secretary saw him at Golden Gate yesterday while delivering documents. When asked, my secretary found out that heâs been driving there every morning and only leaves late at night. Not one knows what heâs doing there. Surely, heâs not just waiting for clients!â
Upon hearing that, the shareholdersâ frustration peaked. They demanded that Michael get Clark to return and explain himself, or they would call a board meeting to elect a new CEO.
Michael, with his back against the wall, repeatedly tried to contact Clark, but his calls went unanswered.
Despite his recent efforts to persuade Clark to return to work, Clark remained adamant about staying
away.
After several persuasion attempts, Clark warned that further discussions would lead to Michaelâs dismissal, leaving Michael with no choice but to concede.
âPlease calm down. Iâll reach out to Mr. Sumner again. promise he will return to the company by tomorrow,â Michael assured.
After much negotiation, the shareholders reluctantly left.
Michael drove immediately to Golden Gate and, as expected, saw Clarkâs car parked not far from the entrance. He parked his car, sighed, and walked over to Clarkâs vehicle, tapping on the window.

The window rolled down to reveal Clarkâs cold, detached face.
âWhat is it?â Clark asked.

Michael said, âMr. Sumner, the shareholders have found out that youâve been here for the past two weeks and theyâre furious. Theyâve threatened to hold a board meeting to replace you if you donât return to the company. Thereâs a lot of paperwork that needs your attentionâ¦â
Clark remained unmoved, his
gaze fixed on the entrance of Golden Gate. He replied, âI neglected her too much for work before. Now, she is the most important thing to me.â
Michael paused before saying. âMr. Sumner, if you want to win Ms. Jayston back, you need to focus on your work. After all, you still have your uncle to contend with.â
Clarkâs demeanor grew colder, and a surge of anger bubbled up inside him. He had almost forgotten the other reason for his and Nylaâs separationâit involved Damon.
If Damon hadnât pursued Nyla, she might never have strayed.
