Chasing the Unexpected

“Will you help me then?” Rebecca asked.

Nathaniel regretted his words. He should have taken advantage of the opportunity instead of advising her to fight for Damon. Now, he was committed and had to stick to his promise.

“If you need it,” he replied.

Rebecca finally smiled. She was about to respond when Nathaniel’s phone rang suddenly. Relieved, he quickly answered the call and stepped aside.

After finishing the call, he returned to Rebecca and said, “Rebecca, I’m sorry, but something urgent just came up. Let’s exchange contact details and discuss this further next time.”

“Alright,” Rebecca agreed.

They exchanged contact information, and Nathaniel left.

Rebecca watched him go with a smirk, her eyes narrowing slightly.

Nyla had anticipated trouble sleeping after leaving Damon’s villa, but to her surprise, she fell asleep quickly once she returned to her hotel room.

She didn’t dream all night and woke up early the next morning, around 6:00 a.m.

After washing up, tying her hair back, and applying light makeup, she slipped into a T–shirt and jeans and headed out for work.

Upon arriving at Prospectus Technology, she ran into Melody.

“Good morning, Nyla!” Melody greeted.

“Good morning,” Nyla replied.

As they walked toward the office together, they didn’t notice the black Maybach parked by the side of the road.

The rear window of the car lowered, revealing Damon’s cold eyes fixed on Nyla.

She walked toward the office with Melody chatting and smiling, looking radiant in her casual outfit. The simplicity of her T–shirt and jeans made her appear youthful as if she were a fresh college graduate.

After a night of drinking due to their breakup, Damon still had a splitting headache. Meanwhile, Nyla seemed unaffected and even looked better than she had the day before.

Noticing the rising tension in the car, Spencer cautiously spoke up. “Mr. Sumner, the morning meeting is approaching.”

Damon withdrew his gaze, his voice icy. “Let’s go.”

All day, the atmosphere in the CEO’s office on the top floor of Prospectus Technology was heavy with tension.

Every secretary seemed on edge, dreading being called into Damon’s office.

The product department manager walked out of Damon’s office looking dejected after being reprimanded.

“Mr. Hogg, what’s wrong with Mr. Sumner today? He seems to be in a terrible mood.” Although he had been reprimanded before, it had never felt this oppressive. NôvelDrama.Org content.

Spencer nodded. “Be prepared. Mr. Sumner might be in a bad mood for quite some time.”

The product department manager was rendered speechless.

As Spencer was about to offer some words of comfort, Damon’s voice came from the office. “Mr. Hogg, come in.”

The manager gave Spencer a sympathetic look before quickly making his exit. He didn’t want to risk being called back in for another scolding.

Spencer entered the office to find Damon going through some documents with a stern expression.

“Mr. Sumner, you wanted to see me?” he asked.

“Yes. What’s going on with the Solar Enterprise deal? Why hasn’t it progressed?

Damon demanded.

“I was planning to update you on that at the afternoon meeting. This morning, I contacted Solar Enterprise, and they were vague. Upon further investigation, I discovered they had already signed the contract with Mr. Clark the night before, “Spencer explained.

Damon’s eyes shifted from the documents to Spencer, intensifying the pressure on him. “So you’re telling me that Clark stole Prospectus Technology’s client, and you only found out a day after the contract was signed?”
