Damon raised an eyebrow. “You like cafeteria food?”

Nyla nodded. “Yeah, some of the dishes are really good and authentic.”

“Then we should go together next time,” Damon said,

Nyla agreed. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

It was only after she had readily agreed that she suddenly realized what Damon meant. Did he want to go to the cafeteria with her? Did he think she hadn’t been popular enough lately?

Since they were already commuting to and from work together every day and she visited the CEO’s office for lunch daily, going to the cafeteria together didn’t seem like a big deal.

Besides, with Damon’s statement about their relationship sent to the company group chat, no one would dare gossip about them openly.

As Nyla pondered this, she realized she had grown accustomed to being with Damon. She didn’t know when he had started to quietly seep into her life.

Thinking this, she bit her lip and fell silent.

Noticing Nyla’s silence, Damon frowned, about to speak when the elevator arrived.

Once they stepped inside, several Prospectus employees followed them in. After a few days, the employees had stopped being afraid to ride in the same elevator with them.

Previously, many people had missed their clock–in time because they were too intimidated to ride the elevator with Damon and Nyla, resulting in a lost month of full attendance bonus.

That bonus at Prospectus Technology meant 300 dollars. Losing that kind of money had made their

hearts ache.

Damon hadn’t found a chance to talk to Nyla, and the elevator soon reached her floor. She walked out with her head down.

As the elevator doors closed behind Nyla, she finally felt the heat of Damon’s gaze fade and sighed in relief. She hurried toward the lab.

Once she entered the lab, Ruby greeted her.

Seeing the redness around Ruby’s eyes, Nyla chose not to ask and pretended not to notice as she started her experiments.

The morning experiments were busy, and Nyla didn’t even have time to drink anything, finishing just at 12: 30 p.m.

When she saw Ruby heading out for lunch, she called out, “I’ll go with you.”

Ruby looked surprised. “Nyla, you’re not eating with Mr. Sumner today?”

Nyla nodded. “He has a meeting during lunch.”

“Oh.” Ruby didn’t ask anything else, and the two of them walked to the elevator in silence.

As they reached the elevator, Sullivan’s voice came from behind. “Nyla, Ruby, what a coincidence! Are you guys heading to lunch too?”

Nyla turned around, her tone a bit cold as she replied, “Yeah.”

“I was just about to go. Let’s go together,” Sullivan suggested.

Nyla frowned, realizing that Sullivan hadn’t taken her warning to heart at all. It seemed she needed to find a good opportunity to talk to Ruby about him.

“Sullivan, it’s just us two girls. It wouldn’t be appropriate for you to tag along, would it?” Nyla hinted.

Sullivan smiled. “I didn’t know you were so traditional, Nyla. Isn’t it normal for male and female colleagues to eat together? Plus, I have some data I’d like to discuss with you over lunch.”

“It’s lunchtime now. If you want to discuss the data, please come find me during work hours,” Nyla stated. Their conversation was laced with tension, and Ruby subconsciously clenched her fists, looking down in thought.

“Since you don’t want to discuss work matters, we can chat about other things while we eat,” Sullivan said.

Nyla’s expression darkened.

Just as she was about to speak, Ruby suddenly interjected, “Nyla, I just remembered there’s a piece of lab equipment I haven’t cleaned yet. I think I’ll skip lunch
