Over the past few years, the company had produced several wellâreceived games that revitalized its reputation. It had become one of the more profitable subsidiaries of the Wilkie Group.
Damon said coldly, âPrepare a gift. Iâll go over in person.â
After hanging up, he set his phone down, his gaze growing colder.
If Gabriel dared to do anything to Nyla again, he wouldnât let it slide, even with the Wilkies backing Gabriel!
After all, their little family of three had finally found a bit of peace, and he wouldnât allow anyone to disrupt that.
The next morning, as Nyla got up to wash up, she noticed that the blister from the burn on her tongue was already fading. It was only a bit red and swollen now, and in a couple of days, it should be completely healed.
Once she finished washing up, she went downstairs to find Damon having breakfast. As he heard her coming, he looked up just in time to meet her gaze.
Nyla smiled awkwardly. âGood morning.â
âMorning. Howâs your tongue feeling?â Damon asked.
Worried he might insist on applying medication himself, Nyla quickly replied, âItâs fine now. Thereâs no need for any oral gel.â
Damon smirked. âAre you afraid Iâll have to treat you?â
âNo, I just wanted to let you know itâs really fine. No need to trouble you,â Nyla replied stubbornly.
âI thought you might be shy or something,â Damon teased.
âHow could I be? Definitely not!â Nyla hissed.
âWell, as long as thatâs the case,â Damon hummed.
His dark eyes fixed on her as if he could see right through her thoughts.
Nyla lowered her gaze and sat down across from him.
Mason had already finished breakfast and left for school, so it was just the two of them at the table, making the atmosphere a bit quiet.
After breakfast, Damon and Nyla headed to work together.
During the ride, neither of them spoke.
As they neared the company building, Damon put down the files in his hands and asked Nyla, âDo you have any plans next Friday?â
âNo, why?â Nyla asked.

âCould you accompany me to a party?â Damon Invited
Nyla frowned. âWhat kind of
party?â

She had never been interested in parties, feeling like everyone wore a mask and it all felt so unreal. Thankfully, she didnât have to deal with business and rarely attended these events.
âItâs Pedro Wilkieâs birthda
party. I need a female companion, and since everyone knows weâre back together, it wouldnât be appropriate to bring another woman,â Damon explained.
That reason was compelling enough for Nyla to agree. After all, she was the one who had suggested they pretend to be back together in the first place.
âSure. What should I wear?â she asked.
Damon assured her, âYou donât have to worry about that. Iâll take care of it.â
Nyla nodded, falling silent again.
Soon, the car pulled into Prospectus Technologyâs parking lot, and she got out alongside Damon.
After coming to work together for a few days, the Prospectus employees had started to get used to Seeing them together. Privately, however, they were still discussing how long Damon would remain interested in Nyla before moving on.
After all, one was an eligible bachelor, while the other was just a lowly drug research employee- completely mismatched in their eyes.
While waiting for the elevator, several female employees glanced at Nyla. Some were jealous, some envious, and some curious.
Fortunately, Nyla was already used to being the center of attention, so she didnât mind.
Damon looked at her, quietly saying, âI might have a meeting during lunch today and wonât be able to join you. Just go straight to my office. Spencer will bring you lunch.â
âNo need. Since youâre busy today, Iâll eat in the cafeteria. Itâs been a few days since I had cafeteria food, and Iâm actually craving it,â Nyla replied.
