Trading My Ex for His Uncle

When Clark saw Nyla's eyelashes flutter, his eyes flashed with satisfaction.

Nyla bit her lip and said coldly, "need to go to work. Can you leave now?"

Upon noticing her distant attitude, Clark's gaze darkened. He didn't want to push her too hard as it would only worsen their relationship.

"I'll drive you," he offered.

"No need."

With that, Nyla pushed him out and closed the door behind him..

Upon arriving at the office, Nyla noticed her colleagues sneaking glances at her.

She remained expressionless, assuming they had all seen the photo online.

After placing her things at her desk, she was about to head to the lab when Sasha approached her, whispering, "Nyla, about that photo online... Is it true? Does Mr. Sumner really like you?" Immediately, everyone around them perked up their ears.

Everyone knew about the incident where Damon protected Nyla during the lab explosion, risking his own

safety. Now, with the photo circulating online, they couldn't help but speculate about the nature of their relationship.

Seeing the curiosity in Sasha's eyes, Nyla responded calmly. "It's not true. It's just the angle of the photo. We ran into each other at the restaurant entrance and exchanged greetings." Sasha looked puzzled. "Just that simple?"

Before she could ask more, Nyla headed to the lab with her experiment report.

On her way, she ran into Lucia coming out of the restroom.

Nyla pretended not to see Lucia and continued walking, but Lucia couldn't resist making a snide remark." Some people really know how to play their cards right, getting both Sumners wrapped around their fingers. I'm impressed."

Lucia had been fuming since seeing the photo that morning. She couldn't believe that Nyla, knowing about her interest in Damon, would be so shameless as to flirt with him.

The comments online pairing Nyla and Damon only fueled her anger.

She had tried to expose Nyla as Damon's niece-in-law in the comments, but her comments wouldn't go through.

Soon after, all photos and related tags were deleted, clearly a move by the Sumners.

Nyla turned

to Lucia, noticing the barely concealed Jealousy in her eyes, and couldn't help but smirk. "If you're so jealous, why don't you try taking a photo like that yourself? Though I doubt Mr. Sumner would give you the

Lucia was angered and sneered. "I wouldn't stoop to your level. Married and still flirting with other men. Is Clark not enough for you?"

Nyla raised an eyebrow! "If you're so concerned about our marital affairs, why don't you install a camera at my house? Then you can satisfy your curiosity 24/7.

Lucia gritted her teeth. "Don't get too cocky, Nyla. If you keep walking down this path, you'll run into trouble eventually."Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

"And I suggest you get your jealousy treated. Don't come to me with your nonsense." With that, Nyla turned and walked away, ignoring Lucia.

Lucia shot daggers at Nyla's retreating figure, her eyes filled with rage and disgust.

She pulled out her phone and called Kenneth, her voice cold. "When are you going to make your move?!"
